King Pawdrick VIII, Earl of Whiskerton
Circa 1536
Known for his imperious gaze and fondness for ermine-trimmed royal robes, King Pawdrick VIII ruled his household with an iron paw. Six separate treat bowls were required throughout the castle, and no fewer than twelve servants were employed solely to warm his favorite sleeping spots. Historical records indicate he had eight toys, but beheaded half of them.
Duchess Tabitha of Purrington
Circa 1542
The Duchess was renowned for her diplomatic skills, brokering peace between the household canaries and the royal mousers. Her elaborate golden collar was said to contain jewels from every corner of the known world, gifted by admirers hoping to gain favor (or at least avoid having their ankles swatted). Court records note she never attended morning appointments, preferring to conduct business after her mid-afternoon bath.
Lord Mittens, Duke of Scratchester
Circa 1539
A feared military commander, Lord Mittens led the successful campaign against the Rodent Uprising of 1539. His signature ruff was designed specifically to highlight his magnificent whiskers, which were said to tremble ominously before he pounced on state enemies. During formal court proceedings, he was often observed casually grooming himself while important matters of state were discussed, demonstrating his complete confidence in his authority.
Sir Pounce-a-lot, Knight of the Velvet Paw
Circa 1545
The most eligible bachelor in the kingdom, Sir Pounce-a-lot was known for his hunting prowess and impeccable breeding. His distinctive "M" marking on his forehead was believed to signify divine approval from the Cat Gods. Despite his regal bearing in portraits, household accounts reveal he had a secret passion for rolling in catnip and chasing shadows across the royal tapestries. Three castles were partially destroyed during his infamous "zoomies" episodes.
