Once upon a time in a tall castle lived the cat king in the Caterville kingdom. His name was Joohwang Orange the III and he was attractive, had white fur with distinct brown fur, very moody by nature though.

The great king had very particular taste for example he loved carboard boxes and would ask his rat servants to keep all of them , also his food had to be of very expensive quality chicken and turkey and oh boy! wet food on weekends was a must. Despite living in a tall tower his estate overlooked a beautiful garden with red roses, blue and white roses all very well maintained not to forget a big water fountain and some ducks and goose walking here and there.

Joohwang the III loved to keep himself entertained and those included playing with strings, mouse toys and he had this special bag of small leaves which he called "catnip." whenever he had those he just used to crazy and run and jump around. All of this had to be done by his servants whenever he wanted and if any rat servants disobeyed him, well they would be fired on spot or worse eatennn!! Of all things he loved looking out at pigeons, those were the creatures he marveled at and at times even used to talk to them " chirrip chirrip". he was always in awe of the way the flew elegantly in the sky, sometimes flapping their wings and sometimes gliding. He always wanted to know how it felt. 

One day he asked his servants to get him a pigeon as his pet whom he could admire from across his room and a they got him a beautiful one with grey feathers upto his neck and neck onwards was white almost as if it was wearing a turtle-necked shirt as if to protect himself from winters although Caterville was a kingdom which received sunny weather and winter weather. Alright, so usually the pigeon was in a rose gold cage and was occasionally allowed to fly outside, only when the king was away , otherwise it was cage time. One day the king said while relaxing in his cat bed " how i wish i could have you sit here by my side while i admire your beauty, my pretty friend." unknown to the king and the servants that day the cage door was very slightly open and also that day the king was very hungry and his food had not yet arrived. This was slowly agitating the king and his thoughts went from "admiring the pigeon to having him for dinner" he again said "my hunger is growing by minutes and my patience is starting to snap." Suddenly the pigeon flew out of the cage and almost near the king and in the moment the king leapt and caught the pigeon by it's throat and the pigeon with tears in his small doe shaped eyes said "your majesty! i hope that my purpose in your life is served and if my death satisfies thy hunger then please go ahead and kill me." 

And with the death of the pigeon and cat king's hunger and desire to have the pigeon up-close satisfied, the king realized something beautiful and that was that the pigeon even in his dying moments was happy to be the reason someone's wishes were fulfilled. Later on his life he spent his days trying to work on being more benevolent, kind and less moody.
