Origin Story: Ex-Con

The Story of Lucy, Part I -
It was the Summer of '96, and the nice young family who then lived next door had just acquired a new cat. The human was invited over to meet it. "Lucy" - not a name the human particularly approved of - was an adolescent kitten (obviously female), dark grey and white with black stripes and a tabby face, huge light green eyes, great eye-makeup, and gorgeous long thick fur... Also, she had big feet! She was very quiet, though, and the human even wondered if she might not be part rag-doll... When the human held and petted her, she - the human, but perhaps Lucy, too, who knows - felt one of her jolts of psychic whatever, which she of course dismissed. She went home to her then only 920 cats (Petunnia was the kitten, then) and told them all about their beautiful new neighbor, whom they, of course, would never ever meet!
