Madame Askew and The Grand Arbiter

I am honoured to present Isabella Cloud Stalker, a very distinguished kitty indeed. Isabella was born into a family of ambassadorial cats and spent her youngest life with her siblings and parents in the employ of the ambassador to Belgium. As a young kitty, she received her first assignment to the family of the new ambassador to Mexico.

Isabella had a talent not only for mastering new languages but also a gift for discerning the perfect moment to de-escalate conversational tensions with the perfectly timed lap cuddle. Such a success was she at all diplomatic parties that she stayed with the family and traveled with them to all of their future postings from Mexico to Argentina and back.  She never returned to the Belgium of her youth but she became an expert on Central and South America and  trained a new generation of ambassadorial kitties whilst living with her beloved family.

As an elder kitty, Isabella lived out her retirement in the family’s best salon where she continued to de-escalate conversational tensions amongst the eldest daughter’s suitors and to give her own particular views of who might be worthy for the hand of the ambassador’s offspring. She pass quite peacefully in the lap of the Ambassador himself after she helped to mitigate the threat of a potential Bourbon backed coup.

Isabella has gone onto her forever haunt where she continues to have decided opinions on matters romantical and will often find a warm lamp to claim when thoughtful insight is needed.

Hip hip and a halloo hurray for this delightful kitty!
