"Wellington was one of the cats?"

That got a chuckle from April.

"Napoleon used to call him a Tasmanian devil in disguise, but yes. I think the original Wellington and Napoleon got along better than those two."

Duncan was still stuck on the earlier remark.

"A ... cat ... took out a satrip?"

"He was even credited with capturing the only surviving THRUSH from that incident. And the other cat, Lawan, was credited with killing a THRUSH scientist."

Mouth dropping open again briefly, Duncan managed another question.

"Just how big were these cats?"

"Lawan was a purebred Siamese. Wellington was a stray."
