On a sun-kissed day, beside the tranquil Vaal River at the local Canoe Club, Jannie, the owner of Pine’s Emporium, stumbled upon a small, adventurous kitten. The little ball of fur, with a coat as soft as mulberry silk, darted into his life from nearby bushes and nestled at Jannie’s feet. The kitten’s fearless spirit and striking light orange hue captivated Jannie’s heart, and he was compelled to bring him into the fold. And so, the kitten’s royal journey began.

And his name became synonymous with warmth, hospitality, and refinement. His story, a testament to the power of chance encounters and the unwavering bonds of friendship.
