FWIW, her real name was Marigny Treme Brown-Gervais, though biting was a lifelong passion. I got her from the Japonica Street Pound in the Ninth Ward before Katrina. She got a stately name because she was an elegant and dignified lady, which made her rare ridiculous moments all the better — she normally looked like this.
She survived all kinds of hurricanes, prowled through Mississippi woods and down New Orleans boulevards with equal aplomb, caught rabbits with bells on, had — I am not kidding — thumbs with TWO CLAWS coming out of each, plus toes on the back for a total of 1,426 claws which is maybe why she was once able to take down a raven twice her size.
She acted as though she cared about nothing but I am pretty sure she sometimes liked me. She made cat converts out of two ex-boyfriends and one mother-in-law despite the fact that she regularly drew our blood. She was the ur-cat. For something so little, she sure was big, and I will always miss her.
