I’m a curious person, always have been. I can’t help it. Even the hint of a secret makes me itch. They say that curiosity killed the cat - makes me glad I’m not one. Though I do wish for the 9 lives cats are supposed to have. I could use them about now.

See, digging for those secrets, I learn stuff. Most of the time it’s silly things. Useful for satisfying my curiosity, but not good for much else. So I know things. And sometimes I get in over my head. Because, you know, sometimes “knowledge is power, if you know it about the right person.”

At the moment, a senator and a big corporate CEO know that I know their secrets. Like I said, in over my head.

Know any cats looking to get rid of a life or two?
