Kiki La Doucette

Kiki La Doucette, also known as La Mère or just Kiki, is a massive yellow tabby queen with amber eyes, a wide muzzle, and a loose, thick scruff.

She has had many offspring. It is noted that most of the cat population of New Orleans is her own.

She was the leader of the largest known cat colony, the Cats of New Orleans.

Before the Books
Little is known about Kiki before the main books. She was born by Mammy Lafeet in Louisiana and soon became a popular figure among the cat colony on The Moonwalk. She almost always bore a litter of kittens, becoming famous far and wide for her constant litters. She was soon regarded as the 'high queen' of the Moonwalk cats and became enemies with Sealink. She discovered Sealink's abandoned kittens, watching two die and taking in the other three. She named two Flea and Wasp until they grew and fled to be adopted at The Golden Scarab. The other kitten, Red, was not kept for long and it is implied he was caught by pest control, neutered, and let free as a stray.

When a new city order by New Orleans to control the wild cat population was enforced, it is implied Kiki found a human owner, as she wears a collar to evade city pest control. She moved the cats of the Moonwalk (mostly her offspring) closer in to the city, into alleyways. The few apposed either stayed at the Moonwalk or migrated to St Louis Cemetery, creating a mini colony. As food for the wild cats became more and more scarce, she forced most of the food found by her colony to be given to her directly, causing her to become extremely obese and greedy. To sustain the cat population while most cats in New Orleans became fixed, Kiki used her offspring to steal kittens from other colonies, mainly the cats at St Louis Cemetery.
