In the entire palace, and maybe all of Kaifeng, you'd be hard-pressed to find a kitten that loves a scene more than Sneeze.
When the bell in Wenming Hall rings, officials start arriving from every direction to wait for the early court hour. Sneeze watches with bright-eyed curiosity.
What color robes will today's arguers be wearing?
Will it turn into a fight?
And if they do fight, will any snacks tumble out of their sleeves?
With questions like that in its head, Sneeze keeps scanning its surroundings, darting this way and that, terrified of missing even a single moment of excitement.
On unusually peaceful days, Sneeze will even trot up and paw at the hems of the officials who love to bicker, then copy their sharp tone with a barrage of messy meows, as if urging them to hurry up and start.
