Nero ends up doing all sorts of jobs because he has enrolled in an apprenticeship program for several roles. When he does an apprentice or cadet shift, he is under supervision, but he is a quick learner of each role and eager to please customers, so he is very well appreciated wherever he goes. He told me this one evening as we tackled a jigsaw together. And, of course, he gets paid a little for helping, particularly as the crew seems perennially short-staffed in many areas.
He often tells us funny stories about events behind the scenes on the Cataloupe 3, but this evening, he is concerned about a young female kitty who seems to be travelling alone. That is unusual for one of her age, so he tries to cheer her up and do something special to look after her.

She is a pretty little cat called Princess Kitty Kiss, according to her passenger details, but Nero calls her Princess because she is such a sweetie.
Nero occasionally brings her a treat, although she says she doesn’t want to gain weight.
‘She doesn’t need to lose weight!’ says Nero. ‘I told her if she wants to improve her fitness, she should come to the gym, and I will give her some special training. I’m a cadet fitness trainer,’ he adds.
Truly Nero is an active cat. Mitzi and I love his company as he is so lively and always enjoys whatever he is doing.
