Master Foxtrot,
My good friend, Pangur Bán and I, are perturbed. The source of our perturbation, is:
Pangur and I, are fearful we have deflected you from your other duties and responsibilities and caused you to neglect them, thereby (possibly), incurring the wrath of Madam Foxtrot. So concerned were we (well, more Pangur than I), we decided to take another look at the circumstances giving rise to this vexing situation.
Having re/evaluated/examined the situation, we feel we now have a pretty good approximation of how the land lies. However, one thing we both struggle with, is, why you seem agitated to be regarded as a direct descendant of King Æthelwulf of Wessex?
Trotting Fox… Noble Wolf. Most Englishmen today, would be proud of the association.
Would it have been more to your liking, had we suggested Æthelred the Unready… or… heaven forbid… Æthelbald.
Back to the task in hand… the above being of no consequence now. Pangur Bán, being an adept at, Lateral Thinking & Thinking Outside The Box, has solved the conundrum, concerning your link to the Kingdom of Wessex, to a degree of accuracy (+/- .00001%), of 99.9%.
Solution:
We feel, that the apparent ability of both your good self, and Master/Mistress Briar Kit Esme, to read each other’s minds; to know what the other is, and will be thinking, forms the link between you and Wessex… See Below.

Possibly, BKE sees him/herself as directly descended from King Æthelwulf of Wessex. A truly romantic notion, is it not… evidence surely, of a vivid imagination? Or, more mundanely, claiming residence somewhere within an 11,000 sq. mile slab of south and south west England.
Our apologies for assuming you were of royal lineage, Master Foxtrot.
As for cats/bags/canals. if you knew some of the mankey, mangey, dirty stinking tomcats that call by, chancing their arm (for which they get short shrift from me), there would be nothing semi about your comment on cats.
Take care Sire.
