It never ceased to amaze me about you humans. I sometimes wonder if you are afraid that you are alone in the universe. So you do things like domesticate animals and make droids to be with you and around you. Near as I can tell you really just want something to love you without question or at least with few questions. As I had told you some time ago I was transferred to the navy as an officer. I was about a 1000 at that point. I was assigned to the IBS Conestoga as the Communications Officer. I was also assigned as the code key. And Escort Officer for Her Royal Highness, the most excellent, Queen Oxyanna the 14th of Wisteria.. Basically she was in fact an Egyptian Silver Mau. As cats go she was very nice and liked anyone that would give her tuna. Though from all the data I could access cats cannot read this cat seemed to be able to read a tuna can in over 200 languages. Her favorite was earth tuna in water. As the escort officer my task was to entertain and guide the recognized guest around the ship and see to their needs. Now since she was a cat I was not required to do what I would do for humans but I had to clean her littler box and feed her daily. Her highness decided one day that the admiral’s quarters were not large enough and climbed on my shoulder for what I could best describe as tours of the ship. This meant she mostly would be with me in the communications. She was pretty old as cats were so mostly she would ride on my shoulder. People started to ask if I had a hook and a peg leg someplace, I really do not understand to this day what they meant by that. Though once the admiral asked me to say “Yar..Matey..” to which everyone thought was very humorous. But come mealtime the queen would “Merrp” at me and head but me and look in the direction of where her tuna was kept. No sooner would I retrieve it she was tapping the lid as if she were reminding me where to open it. Once I did open it she would precede to eat while remaining on my shoulder, and even using her paw to scoop out some tuna and eat it like a human would eat finger food. I will admit she was the easiest VIP I had to escort… Melody 76543, Commander, Imperial service unit
