Here's the scoop: In the province of Rattan, the Mockingbird has used it's myriad melodies to weave a blanket of peace over the land for as long as any can remember. Every being stops to listen to these songs…even the devilish cat named Comfort. But one night Comfort, having the misfortune of her ear being mistaken for a perfect nesting place by a rather confused, pregnant and aptly named blasting bug, woke up in extreme pain. She began violently tossing her head to and fro to rid her poor ear of it's new, insanely loud inhabitant, but no dice. The Melodious Mockingbird saw the distress of the little cat and set about singing one of His calming, healing ditties. To His High Holiness's great surprise, it seemed to provide no relief whatsoever for the cat. So He began a vibrant aria which in no time at all had all the creatures of the province in transcendent states of pure bliss. Still no effect on poor Comfort. The Mockingbird had never encountered such a stubborn one as this, and tried once more, this time a tune so powerful, all who heard it were reduced to dog-paddling in puddles of their own tears of joy. But the cat was now into a full-blown fit rolling on the ground and yowling at the top of her lungs to boot. "Impossible", thought the Keeper-Of-The-Peace-And-All-Good-Things. So he swooped down to the little cat, and at once espying the blasting bug blaring away in her newfound nest, plucked it out and spat it on the ground. The poor hapless bug, about to give birth any second, let loose with one long ear-splitting BLAST as it took flight out of that crazy province, never to return again. And thus began the long tradition of mockingbirds swooping down on cats.
