Origins of the Starvelling Cat [Spoilers]

A thought occurred to me today, regarding the origins of that most infamous of felines. I would first warn that this topic likely involve reference to certain of the more interesting secrets of Fallen London, and that anyone who has not yet delved into the mysteries of the Starveling Cat or Mr Eaten would be wise to leave now.
It's commonly acknowledged that the Starveling Cat is connected to a certain eaten gentleman, whose influence is no doubt to blame for it's current state, and that said gentleman assumed his current state sometime during the second city. It is from these assumptions, ones which have been discussed in great detail elsewhere and by others far more eloquent than I, that I shall work from.
Now, some of you may have heard the following rhyme: "Starveling Kitty! Starveling Kitty! Ruled the roofs of five stolen cities!". Normally I would not put much stock in such rumours, but there are many such rhymes about the Starveling Cat and they all have had the gleam of truth to them, judging from my experiences with the foul beast. If this is true, it raises a curious question, and one I have yet to see voiced;
If the Starveling Cat has indeed lived through five cities, what was it like during the first city, before Mr Eaten entered into his current state?
I turn the floor to you, delicious friends.

"The starveling cat! The starveling cat! It knows what we think! And we don't like that!"
Coupled with,
"The wretched thing follows you about and tells wicked lies!"
(Does anyone else think that perhaps the cats actually can see into our inmost thoughts, and the "wicked lies" they are speaking are actually the dark truths we don't want to admit to everyone?)
