The urchin of a cat came from a beggar's background, taught by an old beggar in the arts of theft since he was young. He helped the old beggar slip through doors, pick locks, and steal people's belongings.
As he grew older, his skills became more refined. After the death of the old beggar, he mixed alone in Jianghu, spending his days either stealing or gambling.

Once there, he'd search carefully. Who knows, he might even make double!
