}}''"Whose name's on your collar Mr Starveling Cat?" "Come closer, my dear, if you want to read that..."''

''"The Starveling Cat! The Starveling Cat! It leaps from the box like an acrobat! The Starveling Cat! The Starveling Cat! It claws your face like a rabid bat! The Starveling Cat! The Starveling Cat! If only we could stamp it flat! The Starveling Cat! The Starveling Cat! Don't expect it to stay on the mat!"''

'''The Starveling Cat '''is a horribly angry, mangy, mind-reading, lying beast that's always Unaccountably Peckish and has somehow lived for millennia. Probably because it has nine lives. And is connected to [[Mr Eaten]] in some way.__forcetoc__
