Catuary, The Early Years

Introduction

Mimeenah Roshan faithfully kept a journal all of her life, and it is through her writings and drawings that we are given a glimpse of Catuary in its later years. We first meet Mimeenah as a young kitt living on her parent’s farm. It is a beautiful and idyllic life. The farm is tucked away in a fold of land near the beautiful Golden Lake. And as an only kitt, Mimeenah has the full attention of her loving and devoted parents.

I myself am particularly fond of her first journal, where she discusses everything in her young life from needing more crayons to the lovely Hugs and Purrs Festival with a passion that only one so young can feel.

We laugh with her in her delights, as she has her fur painted for the very first time. And we cry with her in her sorrows, when one of her young friends crosses the Rainbow Bridge too soon, leaving an emptiness in the hearts of all who knew her.

As she grows and matures, we learn that she is more than just a distant relative of the Prince and Princess. The blood of the ancient Makreelas flows through her veins. And when the lovely Princess’ life is cut short by a devastating and incurable sickness, we are shocked along with Mimeenah to find that she is suddenly the next in line to rule this lovely kingdom, even though there have been hints all along the way.

Through her wisdom and courage she rebuilds her beloved Catuary, making it the great kingdom it is today.
