This cat + Pangur Ban + Emperor Uda's cat that he is "convinced is superior to all other cats" = Alan Meow's League of Extraordinary Cats

18th century "cat contract" (納貓兒契式; based on a Yuan-dynasty original), laying out the cat's duties and responsibilities: tirelessly guarding the grain, repelling the "mousey bandits" (鼠賊), not messing with the livestock, not stealing numnums "of any kind whatsoever" (不得偷盜食諸般).
