Our Back Story:
The story begins in the unjust days of 2010 A.D. when a pair of Saint Louis cats, Emma and Oscar, sat on the floor vacantly staring at dust balls under the furniture. The human surrogate mother Laura was pressing new fabric on an ironing board while her boyfriend Stephen impudently drank a glass of white ambrosia on the couch without even offering to share! Emma looked toward Stephen and eyed the glass of milk. Just then something winged darted past the window! A bird or squirrel no doubt! Emma attempted to investigate. But as she jumped up on the arm of the couch and Oscar followed in pursuit, Stephen dared push them off the couch and had the gall to say, "Bad kitties!" Both cats jumped away, landed perfectly, moved toward the kitchen, turned, and Emma fixed Stephen with an icy glare. Oscar sat down and licked his paw. "You know what?" Laura said to Stephen and the cats. "Meowr," said Emma. "I want to build the cats some shelves to sit on. They can climb right up the wall above the couch and lay up there." "Hmmm," Stephen said. And so it began, the days of kitty shooing were at an end and the Kitty Overlords would have the high seats that they long deserved!
