Bustopher Jones in white spats

Family: Vicotria Mistoffolese

Personality: a Bon Vivant Bustopher is a cultured gentletom of refined taste. He has a love of good food, fine music and good company. While he may not "haunt pubs" he will happily socialize with his fellow jeliclles and will expose those who are interested to the more "high brow" culture! He is a loyal friend but can be a bit uppity as he is well aware of
the class distinctions.

The gallant tom does go out of his way to be considerate and polite to Queens. Proper manners at all times are the watchwords of the Gallant Of Saint James Street! And with strong sense of noblese noblige the Brummel of Cats recognizes that while Deuteronomy is The Jellicle Leader, and rightly so, due to his breeding Bustopher has a responsibility to the tribe and should set a good example for the younger toms, particularly those of lower birth.

History: Bustopher Jones is The St James's Street Cat, and is a well known fixture in the restaurants and clubs of the district even as his human is as well. his human while indeed a member of the nobility, though a younger son, he is also a member of the fourth estate...he is a Restaurant Critic of quite some renown. Bustopher has led a life of pampered luxury, despite being a "Domestic Shorthair" he came from a highly priced breeder with an impeccable pedigree. he was impressed with the fact that he was of the upper crust and was of "Blue Blood". This was only further demonstrated by the privileged human who had adopted him and the surroundings that he came to live in.  his sister and littermate Titania was adopted by his humans sister as well.

he was introduced to the tribe in his youth by the Theater Cat Gus and the Railway Cat Skimbleshanks both of whom he had met in their particular venues. he met the theater Cat when he accompanied his human to a performance of Carmen at Gus's theater The Grande. despite Gus's plebeian taste for pubs the two found a common ground within the arts and have spent many evenings discussing the merits and differences between Shakespeare and Bacon. Skimbleshanks he met when his humans business took him to Scotland on the Midnight Mail. traveling by rail is by far the best way to travel in Bustophers opinion, and under Skimble's keen eye and direction the Midnight Mail is the best by far.

Bustopher was overjoyed when his sister had a beautiful litter of kittens, then tragedy struck when Titania was killed in an auto accident with her mate and her human. when his human took them in Bustopher took the kittens under his wing and raised them as if they were his own and has done his best to pass along a sense of culture and refinement. he is unsure of where Misto's "mystical abilities" came from as there was no sign of it in his family, perhaps from the Fathers bloodline....and now that she is of age Victoria is giving him his share of sleepless nights. still he loves them all, and will stand by them and the Tribe.



Comments: He has an encyclopedic knowledge of the restaurants of clubs and fine dining!
