You were: A
Fluffy Kitten!
Awww, bless.
You were a cute little ball of fur that loved having attention lavished on it by anyone who happened to walk past you. Everyone loved you and you knew it.
Now you’re probably still sweet and loved by everyone. And you know it. You love to be loved and if you have to be insincere to get that love, then that’s what you’ll damn well do. And nobody will ever find out, because you’re so cute.
But if they do find out, there’ll be hell to pay, kitten.
