Now that Lucinda is training with Nero and doing well, as she is a most determined young cat, the four youngsters often spend and evening with Candy. Candy wants to get to know them and help Lucinda make some friends she can rely on. As Candy is a wealthy cat who owns a prominent movie production studio, other cats often try to get close to her kittens to influence her. These cats are not going to be real friends with her offspring. They are gold diggers or fraudsters waiting for the opportunity to make the kitten’s lives miserable. But these three youngsters seem genuine.
At their second movie evening, they watch one of Vera Clawsen’s fantasy films that always have young female felines sighing and wishing they had the good fortune to meet such a handsome cat prince.
In Candy’s opinion, they are very unlikely to meet a genuine cat prince; more likely, he would be a prince with no money trying to help himself to her wealth. She saw off a few of them who inveigled her older daughters into a romance. The only thing that followed was heartache. Lucinda is a bright young feline, and if she applies herself, she could have a great professional career.
Nevertheless, it would be heartless to destroy a young cat’s dreams too early. Candy feels she must not get too cynical. Every kitten deserves to learn the way of the world under their own steam. She can only be ready with good advice when she is asked for it.
