Please tell me about van Zonderen and Nefastulo. I love the idea of other criminal cats.
clearly each of them has a similar criminal network in his own country / region and they have a frenemies rivalry going on. sometimes they are useful to each other in some transaction or other. sometimes they thwart each other. they are very dramatic about it.
Macavity lays elaborate plots to abduct Nefastulo midway to his destination and gives him a dramatic villain monologue. Van Zonderen crashes the party and spirits Nefastulo away, demanding in return for his aid some boon or prize that Nefastulo has been keeping from him. Nefastulo twirls his cape and stares grimly into the distance while declaring 'You win this time, Van Zonderen!' Macavity sends Nefastulo flowers and threats for his birthday.
they're married.
