I have around 50 of those on my ship... but I hear some anaconda pilots have about 750 trumble cats on-board.. Oh. You mean that's not what the abbreviation actually means?
I shot him back first. That is to say, I read his mind and fired before he would have fired on me. No, sir, he wasn't a fugitive.

Hmm... Cats...Robots....

RoboKitty! Doesn't eat, doesn't poop, sturdy and reliable, packs a low yield plasma discharge weapon for pest control. Pet it's faux fur to keep it charged. :) :idea:

No, not plasma, but... LASER CATS!

No, I was referencing the lyrics from the cartoon themesong of Top Cat...

Top Cat!
The most effectual Top Cat!
Who's intellectual close friends get to call him T.C.
Providing it's with dignity.

Top Cat!
The indisputable leader of the gang.
He's the boss, he's a pip, he's the championship.
He's the most tip top,
Top Cat.

Yes he's a chief, he's a king,
But above everything,
He's the most tip top,
Top Cat.

Top Cat!

This idea has a sort of 1950's space shlock feel to it. So, I love it immediately. Maybe a few ship pets, with a percentage of killing trumbles? The more expensive, the better they are at maintaining a ship free of pests?

Like a Cat, a Spider, and perhaps a ship Droid.
