Gilt submitted by Smiles on July 12, 2012, 3:58pm Cat wriggles her way into the palace and the heart of King Henry Vlll. Kitty, being Cat's best friend, is thrust into the luxury of silk dresses, servants, and fancy food. But gossiping in the royal court is bad and once you have reached the top, there is no other place to go, except down.
