Christmas Carol game

I grew up watching every single version of A Christmas Carol that has ever existed. (Trust me, I'm positive I've seen every one made prior to 1990. Since then, I'm not so sure.)

Every one has different versions of the party games played by nephew Fred and his friends. In one of them, I don't remember if it was the George C. Scott or if it was the 1970's version, had the party-goers playing a word game called The Minister's Cat.

The Rules:
You must use this sentence: The minister's cat is a _____________ cat.
You must select an adjective to fill in the blank that starts with the next letter in the alphabet after the person before you. The first person uses an "A" adjective, the next uses a "B" adjective, and so on.
You may use a different article to fit the sentence: a, an or the – if it fits or makes your sentence more interesting. (But it's always THE Minister)

In the movie, there was a time issue, we can't really do that here, so I'm leaving that out.
I'm also allowing any length of adjective – from 1 syllable to, I don't know, 4, 5, 6? As long as it is only a SINGLE word.
You may do more than one in a post, but you may not string all the adjectives into one sentence. Each must have its own sentence.
I'm not going to harp on punctuation. (THIS time) :P

I think that's all the rules… if others present themselves later, I'll add them in.
