Were you born with your clairvoyant gift, or did it come as the result of a mystical experience? If the latter, purrleeze tell us about it.

I feel I have always had this gift; howeffur, as it only allows me to see the future and not the past, I cannot be quite sure of how or when I acquired it.

You often purrform wedwinkings. What sort of pre-marital counseling do you purrvide the happy couple? Under what circumstances do you decline to purrform a ceremony?

Premarital counseling is not one of the services I offer. When a couple decides to become winked, they have made a commitment to each other and must keep their own counsel.

My ministry does not discriminate against any couple seeking marriage, as long as they are both of the same species. Fur instance, I would nefur purrform a ceremony linking a cat to a d*g, or a mouse to a ferret, or a cow to a zebra, or any such combination. It would be an abomination!

On the other hand, male kitties wishing to wed other male kitties is quite acceptable. After all, boys will be boys...and sometimes girls. Tee hee!

Kitties often visit your booth to ask you to check your crystal ball to learn whether you see romance in their futures. Are you often able to play the role of matchmaker?

I have made many matches in my career, though I cannot say how successful they have been. I am not a sorceress and do not do love spells, but I do like to match up kitties with other kitties who seem compatible. The crystal is not always clear, howeffur, so mistakes can be made.

Tell us a little about yourself and how you came to live with the Edwards furmily. Also, three furmily memfurs -- Sammye, Pussnagel, and Leo -- are memfurs of tomzrule®. Do you foresee more gross and disgusting behavior in their futures?

My mofur was a homeless kitten when a neighbor brought her to The Edwardses. They were appurrently a magnet fur homeless kitties. Furtunately fur us, they delayed having her spayed just long enough to conceive me and four siblings. Naturally, they kept all of us, but one little girl did not survive kittenhood.

When we were 1 1/2 years old, the furmily moved from Califurnia to Indiana. I will not tell you of the horrors of that trip! We settled in in a log cabin which had been added onto. It was surrounded by trees and open country, and we were allowed to go outside. Sadly, we lost our mofur, Mini, and our sisfur and brofur, Lyonie and Tiggy. If the humans had kept us in we might still have them.

Billy-Bub was the only littermate I had left, and as you know he went to the Bridge in October. But I digress...

Sammy is a sweet boy, but incorrigible. He will follow the rest of the gang. Pussnagel has always been gross and disgusting, so I suppose he will continue that way. I believe Leo is more refined than the others, so he may be saved from shame.

You live in Queen Bitsy's Castle. Is it true that she has threatened to lock you in the dungeon unless you keep her infurmed of all tomz activities?

It is not true that she has threatened me, but I have caught her trying to look into my crystal at times. Purrhaps that is where she gains so much infurmation about tomzclub.

Has she tried to turn your prophetic gifts to her financial gain? How have you remained independent?

One thing I must say about Bitsy, she does respect her elders, and does not try to misuse me in any way.

Queen Bitsy has been seen in the company of Sheik Ollie Babble. Bitsy's furriends would like to see a happy end to her long widowhood. Is there a romance in their future?

My crystal shows me many romances in the Sheik's future, but none fur Bitsy.

I'd like to ask you to check your crystal ball for the consequences of Bentley Marlowe's ratting out Biggie and Murff (his own brofur!!) in the January Purrsuader.

Such behavior is a violation of the Universal Code of the Tomz which prohibits subjecting a fellow tom to the ridicule of gurlz. If repeated, he could be brought before the World Feline Court and if found guilty, the punishment is to be declared a "De Facto Gurl"!

My question is this -- has Bentley been driven insane by Bitsy's relentless pursuit of him with her camera? Do you see him continuing to rat-out other tomz? We tomz are worried about his future.

If he had not been insane enough to engage in his nefarious purrsuits to begin with, Bitsy would have had no reason to harass him. I fear the Law of Karma will catch him in the end.

Does your crystal ball contain any other revelations that you would like to share with the readers of the Caterwaul Chronicle?

I cannot say, as it needs a thorough cleaning. Visit my booth and ask me there.

Sister, Catrisha, I'm so purrleezed that you are doing this infurvu. I know the Caterwaul reeders will be thrilled.

I can see that they will.
