## Story

Kitty was born on a cat girl farm in Chibi, China. Her real name at birth was Suyin. She doesn't use that name anymore. At the age of 8 she was sold and shipped out from the farm to an unknown buyer in the United States, but before her train left the station a cat boy, named Kung Liu, gave her a key so she could get out of her cage. Kitty kept the key hidden and used it when she arrived in the United States. Kitty didn't speak any English and had to survive on her animal instincts. She ate mice, and birds, and mostly avoided people. But eventually she found people she considered friends.

When Kitty first appeared in the story, she was 11 or 12 years old and a member of Villany's Gang, the Death Patrol. This was not a safe environment but she was apparently close friends with another gang member named Black Bird. When Black Bird was killed, by Steel Head, Kitty ran away, but she was alone and scared so she followed Paladin's home, because he had been nice to her. She wanted Paladin to keep her as a pet, because she didn't know any other way to live. Swan Song took Kitty home with her, and taught her to act like a person. Including sitting down at the table and eating human food. Eventually Paladin and Swan Song realized that they had effectively adopted Kitty.

When Mr. Argent learned about their living situation he had the Vulcan's Heroes take custody of Kitty but allowed her to keep living with Swan Song. This meant that Kitty could start going to school. She also started occasionally working with the Vulcan's Heroes. Eventually Kim and Kitty moved in with Lee's family, so that Kitty could have a real home with a family.

Cat girls are not very smart and Kitty didn't speak or understand much English when she first met Paladin so she usually spoke just one or two words at a time. After she ate a piece of Golden Apple she became much smarter and was able to speak all languages. However for several months she kept this hidden because she didn't want people to change the way they treated her. When she realize that she was causing problems for her friends by not talking she spoke up and she hasn't shut up since.

While Lee was Emperor of the Jade Empire, he legally adopted Kitty. Kitty is a citizen of The Jade Empire and The United States.
