Let's see if any of you can guess who this is about. (No, it's not the
Operative this time)...

    Sleeping soundly, the boy was awakened by the feel of a tongue on
    his cheek.  
    "Kisha."  He laughed, looking at the cat who purred at him. "You must
    be hungry.  Come on then."
    The little white kitten followed the boy to the kitchen of the ship
    they were on. The boy and his family were relocating from their home
    planet as part of a colonization program. He'd been excited when his
    family was chosen as one of the ones to go.
    Walking into the kitchen, he saw his older brother and his fiancee
    kissing near the refrigerator. 
    "Gross!" He made the face all little boys make at such a sight.
    "Get out of here, Kay." His older brother told him. "What are you
    doing here anyhow."
    "Feeding the cat." the boy muttered. "And my name's not "Kay". Kay's
    a yucky girl's name. My name is...." but no one was paying him any
    attention. He got the catfood out of the cupboard and put some out
    for Kisha who gave his nose a greatful lick and began eating the 
    food.
