🗞️ FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 🗞️
Official statement from Management, on behalf of the Crown 👑🐈
Issued: 2 September 2026
Management is aware of certain photographs currently circulating which purport to show a white cat 🐈 asleep on a shelf in a retail establishment.
We have no knowledge of these events.
We do not know that cat.
That cat is not His Highness.
His Highness was not on that shelf.
His Highness has never fallen asleep in a retail aisle.
Furthermore, His Highness does not shop. 🛍️
Reports that His Highness may have consumed an inadvisable quantity of nip 🌿, lost track of the evening 🥃 and subsequently regained consciousness in an unfamiliar retail environment are entirely false.
His Highness has no recollection of any such event.
This is not an admission. 😼
In the entirely hypothetical event that His Highness were ever required to enter a supermarket, his standards are well documented. Think white, semi-transparent shopping bags. Prepared meals. Unreasonably expensive berries. 🍓
For everything else, there is The Apartment Cat. 👑🐈⬛
Management would also like to address the deeply offensive suggestion that a cat — who, to be absolutely clear, is not His Highness — could constitute a “hygiene concern”.
Were said cat hypothetically His Highness, which it is not, His Highness would be deeply offended.
His personal grooming operation is rigorous. 🐾✨ Inspections are conducted throughout the day. Compliance is absolute.
We will not be accepting hygiene allegations from a species that touches a trolley handle 🛒 and then eats a pie.
There will be no further comment. 🥃
We do not know the cat.
We do not know the shelf.
We do not know how anyone got there.
We were never there. 🐈⬛🐾
However.
Hypothetically, if His Highness were to consume an inadvisable quantity of exceptionally good catnip, it would obviously be Catmint Diesel. 🌿😼
The best nip money can buy.
Not that he did.
We know nothing about that either. 🥃
