CLEO'S CAT STORY
INTRODUCTION
Welcome Human
The Paws of Power collection is proud to introduce this declassified record from C.L.A.W. Ancient Egyptian archive.
Some saw her as a silent shadow at Cleopatra's side.
But to those who truly understood,
she was a guardian of the old ways,
and an emissary of what still endures.
The modern world may only now be learning her name.
But Ta-miu, has waited long enough, to share her story.
Hers was the power of the unblinking gaze, that unrelenting stare of judgement, which saved the ancient world.

CLEO'S CAT STORY
CHAPTER 1 : PART 1
Long assumed by human historians, to be the royal companion of Prince Thutmose in the 18th Dynasty, and as such, to have passed into the afterlife some 3,000 years ago.
But the Commission for Legacy Adjustment of World (C.L.A.W.'s) archive has revealed:
she merely... napped.
She was Ta-miu the Eternal, having more than nine lives, as do all us Catz.
But we can exclusively reveal:
she is still alive, and has guided this account personally.
They say she walked beside Amenhotep II, whispered into the dreams of Akhenaten, and curled upon Cleopatra's lap, as strategies were drawn in kohl and gold.
She has been adorned in lapis, amber — and watched kingdoms rise and fall.
Always near to those who show... promise.
A fleeting shimmer of gold fur.
A distant purr when all is still.
A gaze, ancient and appraising,
from a cat who seems just a little too judgy.
She traded the silence of tombs for training humans, once again.
She does not reveal herself lightly.
But when she does —
the chosen feel it.
So, the next time a cat stares, unblinking, into the distance…
Do not ask what they see.
Ask what you are not seeing?

Ta-miu was of the Abyssinian lineage known for their royal presence and mastery of strategy, and — of course
A High Priestess of the Purring Arts.
As to where she came from, no human could say for certain.
Though, a few of you tried...
some claimed she wandered in from the Temple of Bastet.
Others, of the more theatrical persuasion, insisted she arrived by way of a single ray of sunlight laid across the palace steps:
Like a prophecy
long foretold and unmistakably begun.
As with all, from her line, Ta-miu understood entrances, not as arrivals, but as revelations.
Gold fur against Egyptian sand — a vision so radiant, even time seems to slow, as though trying to prolong the moment.
In moments like this, when a manifestation invokes divinity with such effortless poise —
you cannot help but be —
willingly enthralled.
And if you are wise, you resist the most ruinous impulse of all:
The urge to reach for that golden velvet.
To avoid mistaking, splendour for invitation.
Siren-sweet upon the sand — all shimmer,
alas the promise is not for all…
Ta-miu, in all her golden glory, made sure she set her boundaries very clearly:
the slow blink paired with a
manic tail-whip.
Her tail bending with agitation, was the classic warning known to all felines (and a few smarter canines and humans):
Retreat you unfortunate fool...
However, on this particular day, there was —
of course —
one human...
Unfortunately, he did not understand Ta-miu's notice of imminent danger —
instead he ventured too close; and then,
almost at once,
regretted it.
She was not sure who was more surprised, him or her.
In all her years, she had never seen a human retreat so quickly —
particularly given the two-legged limitations.
He very nearly achieved flight,
clutching the wreckage of his naïve fingers.
Reflecting on it later, she did feel a flicker of sympathy for him —
after all she was magnificent.
Now, as human readers you must understand,
this was only the opening movement.
The paw may strike swiftly.
But it's the afterglow of shame that is —
quite intentionally —
made to endure.
Us Catz have very precise processes for these type of transgressions:
Firstly, the offender's name is entered into the eternal archives of C.L.A.W. —
and, true to form, every last detail is recorded.
Among the many blessings we felines have bestowed upon this bewildering world —
our memory blazes brightest.
We do not forget.
We embellish.
Further analysis follows — keen, meticulous —
including searches for suspected prior offences —
which (surprise, surprise) likely reveals a consistent pattern:
Their deluded belief that this time will be different…
Then their name is circulated within the local — feline community.
From that moment on, who knows what mishaps might befall them?
Who can say?
Many, may call it bad luck,
we on the other paw class it as targeted strategy.
A shamanic wail — piercing in pitch,
haunting in effect —
precisely calibrated to match the frequency, of a newborn human:
Once at 3:03 a.m.
and then repeated —
every time the target falls asleep, again and again.
And for repeat offenders, naturally, we would employ a trained specialist:
A clump of fur deposited with quiet mastery into the offender's food —
You must understand, the artistry is not in the act —
it is in the tending and collection of this particular fur.
These cultivated specimens,
only found clinging to the nether regions.
Yes. That fur.
Curated for its limited edition status…richly aromatic.
And then, as they swallow —
so hungrily, so blissfully unaware —
they may begin to understand the art of contemplation.
For shortly afterwards, comes their new devotion —
a pilgrimage to that tiled chamber.
That devout encompassing worship.
It begins with a test of faith throughout the night —
drawing them back to that flushing sanctuary,
their homage paid again and again:
brisk,
barefoot,
ever humbled.
A great deal of time to contemplate their past actions, all at once.
And if that seems… excessive, you obviously have misunderstood us entirely.
For we are the masters of possibilities.
These are not punishments...
just...corrections.
A multi-sensory rehabilitation programme.
After all, everyone deserves a second chance.
Some even find it —
not always through redemption, but sometimes through proximity.
In this particular case, the wise, were those who resisted that familiarising reach.
They were able, to remain in Ta-miu's presence, where they were gifted with a glimpse of true power.
Power undisturbed by ambition.
Sovereignty untroubled by validation.
To rule without ruling.
To be obeyed without a word.
That was true power —
and simply her birthright.
