The Minister's Cat is a Victorian parlour game.
The game involves describing the eponymous cat using adjectives beginning with each letter of the alphabet.
Once everyone has done so, the first player describes the cat with an adjective beginning with the letter 'B'.
In all variations, a player is "out" of the game if they are unable to think of an adjective, or if they repeat one previously used (or can't remember the adjectives which have gone before, in the last variant).
On the second and succeeding rounds an alternate sentence can be used: "Mother's tea service was brittle," or, "Mother's tea service was broken."
