Anthropomorphic cat pirate in a tavern with sword and map — AI art by @CaylaCatz

Sunday: K-T: Puss-n-Boots Puss-n-Boots is the trickster, the fairy godmother, and others who help the hero win the kingdom. It has a lot to do with medieval values where loyalty to your master is valued above your going out to win riches for yourself That entrepreneur spirit is admirable in the service of others but viewed as greedy if used for yourself. Which is really too bad because I never saw Puss-n-Boot's master as worthy of the cat. A nice guy, sure, but Puss-n-Boots is worth a dozen of him. The problem is a good master can be hard to find....

Well, you know how it goes. No one believes he can do it. The tavern regulars are used to him asking and it's become a local joke. Surely it can't be that easy or everybody would do it. Finally one person, either out of desperation or a sense of adventure, will say yes and a fairtytale is born. And then when that person become a marquis, the tavern folks will drop their draws and then moan about I shoulda, coulda, woulda. But who believes a cat?

I'd go just for the bragging rights. How many people can say they went adventuring with a talking cat? .... hmmm, if i'm bragging about it at a different tavern, they may think I have a might too much to drink.

Thank you. It was fun to try out the same prompt in different models. The text is mostly where some failed.
