So here I kind of show the root of Marzipan's Parents problems...Because as a wrote the Mizzer Stories on my Fictionpress account I kind of realized that almost none of these Mizzer Humanimals' parents are as bad as Marzipan's parents when it comes to this Mizzer 'Curse' granted I've established at that point in Mizzer's history the curse had left most mixed species districts because they've been sharing their space with other species for thousands of generations it was mostly the Domestic Dogs and Cats who still stuck to the curse, but with my Dog and Cat characters almost none of their parents were as much 'Sticks-in-the-mud' Bumble's parents might have been terrified of all species that weren't humans or dogs, but otherwise weren't constantly harping on how Humanimal Celebrities should be ashamed of themselves! Here we kind of show why Marzipan's parents were sucks clingers-on to the 'curse'

"Marzipan's right…" Gus said "...You haven't learned a thing…"

"Now Gus…" Esmeralda began to say

"NO! YOU LISTEN!" The normally jovial Cat-Man stood up, his fur all floofed up! He was bigger than both his sister and brother in-law and used his physical presence to intimidate them into silence…

"You were always terrified of Mother…" Gus said "...Even though I was the one who always got in trouble and got punished and you were the perfect obedient little doormat, you became more and more afraid of Mother as you grew older as I became more free and actually followed my dreams and became an actor! Because I realized all she could do was whip me with her switch, once I became an adult she no longer held that power over me! But you instead fell more and more under Mother's thrall and she seemed to delight in having power over you! And then finally when you drew a line in the sand...When you refused to marry the Tomcat Mother had picked out for you who was also your first cousin! Mother claimed to be doing that to keep the breed pure, but Flaubert was also a Purebred Ragdoll, so that clearly wasn't the issue...The thing was Mother wanted to control every aspect of your life and specifically to make sure you would never be happy! I could see how she thought, because she followed her parents instructions and always made sure she never did anything that made her happy because she was a 'Good Mizzeran' then why should her children be any different? Perhaps she worked harder to torment you because I rebelled so much I became an actor and if that's true I apologize but you really should have put your foot down more! Your one act of rebellion, marrying Flaubert instead of the Cousin Mother wanted you to marry seemed to be what killed her! And I know What happened when she died...As we were at her deathbed...With her dying breath she said to you and Flaubert that she was cursing you for defying her...Just you two...Not me who had defied her all her life! And you know what that was?! She knew you were terrified of her! So she spitefully used her death to 'Psyche you out' as the kids say and it worked! When Marzipan was born...Poor Kitten born pink and purple and at the time we had no idea why...And in addition to that she had that learning disability what the Slave Humanimals call 'Gaia's Touch' I know you feared your first child being born such a freak was a manifestation of the curse! But then Emma was born who seemed to be the exact opposite, so snowy white that even today she still never developed typical Ragdoll markings on her face and limbs, so that brought you some relief...Then the Invasion happened...And clearly it broke your brains because you thought the invasion was manifestation of your Mother's curse! That's your problem Esmeralda! Your Mother has become a God in your mind! You were too terrified to work for your new human masters because you were more afraid of your Mother punishing you more then you did for the danger right in front of you!"

Gus took a deep breath and sighed "Your problem is you are weak...Weak minded...Weak willed...Your fear of your Mother's switch seemed to break you for your entire life!"

Meanwhile Marzipan ran through Earthport, until Jonathan caught up with her.

"Marzipan! Marzipan!" Jonathan said as he held the trembling Cat-Girl "Calm down please!"

Then he saw a Pig-Man Janitor exiting the nearby Utility Room

"Sir! Sir!' Jonathan called out to the Pig-Man "Could we go into your utility room for a moment? We...Need to talk alone…"

"The Pig-Man seeing the situation said "Sure man, I'll even stand outside the room until you're ready to leave…"

"Thank you…" Jonathan said as he took Marzipan into the utility room grateful for how amiable Humanimals are…

So mostly wanted to dedicate this chapter to explaining Marzipan's family history
