Physical Description

Micelle is a somewhat moderately overweight calico cat, with a regal mien and a mind for planning. She delights in having the simple things in life; a maid who wishes to serve her needs of eating nutritious cat food, drinking clean water, having a clean litterbox and playing a little with her every day to exercise and keep her person in shape.

Though she tries to reward her person with deep affection, Micelle is still puzzled as to where her person goes each day and why she leaves. Micelle loves her person deeply and would follow her devoted maid to the ends of the universe, but would never reveal that to anyone.

Family and Background

Micelle was a rescued stray kitten. No more is known about her family and background until she chooses to reveal it. She lives with and owns a pet humanoid named Rosalyn and the humanoid's father Jarrod Winters.

Education

Formal Education: Micelle has been home schooled to have good manners and etiquette. She knows very well not to jump up on the dining table, poke her nose into her pet person's food, make messes on the carpet and to use her litterbox most fastidiously.

Employment History: Though mouse catching had been enjoyable most of her life, when on a starship Micelle has noted that there is a distinct lack of mice or any other vermin to catch. She decided to retire from the profession.

Starfleet History

The USS Boudicca is the first starship Micelle has ever been on. She found the windows with the emptiness of space disconcerting, though when the ship is in warp, she finds the stars streaking by highly entertaining and will sit for hours watching them studiously.

Medical History

Micelle has been spayed, a process which she found to be most upseting. She did not appreciate waking up drugged and sore and made her misery known quite unmistakably.

She did have one bout of serious loss of appetite when her food diet was changed to a less nutritious one. The hunger strike she went on caused her to turn her normally pink skin to green and ichoric. Even her eyelids and tongue were green. She lost weight and had to be sheltered at the vet with a feeding tube surgically implanted into her neck and going down to her esophagus, until she regained her appetite and began eating on her own again.

She has a bit of arthritis setting in on her back feet, particularly the right hind foot. Trimming her claws is an ordeal which she would prefer to not go through, but her person does it every now and then in spite of Micelle's vocal naysaying. Her most devoted maid is the only one allowed to touch Micelle's rather ticklish feet and belly and only then in the correct and respectful manner.

Hobbies

Micelle has a fondness for a specific game that her person calls 'What is Under the Rug?' When her person sticks any object under the tough chenille handwoven rug that decorates the floor of the sitting area of thier quarters and wiggles said object, Micelle stalks it and then tackles it, biting and clawing with great viciousness through the rug, until it is subdued. Subduing can, at times, take some hours, depending on how long Micelle's person wishes to play the rug game, though Micelle does not force her.

Skills and Abilities

Leaping, running, clawing, stalking, and pouncing are specialties, but Micelle is a lady and prefers to not show off. Micelle has a special psychic bond with her person and always knows when she is unhappy or upset.

Miscellaneous Information

Sleeping in a warm, quiet, safe place is a favorite pastime.
