Captain Cat Sparrow had assembled his feline crew (including Salty and Catbeard) and stolen a Pirate Ship, which they rechristened The Cat O' Nine Tails to terrorize the merchant ships on the high seas.

They were permanently high on catnip and left the merchants they attacked scratched to hell.

The masts of the ship were as much a playground as well as being the ship's propulsion.

The King's Navy was sworn to bring them to justice, but, you know, cats, either on foot or on a ship could outrun and outfox any human.

Those that boarded the Cat O' Nine Tails to bring the cats in always left scratched and mauled, bloody and defeated, and Cat Sparrow and his crew sailed off into the distance.

You may think this is a fairy tale or a dream, but do you know what your cats get up to when they are away from your house all day, and come back demanding food, toys, and catnip.

They may be cat pirates sailing the seas with Cat Sparrow.
