This is Time. Time is a cat who controls the passing time. He is the one who keeps this universe in balance. Nobody knows how old he is, and nobody ever will. He prefers to keep to himself, keeping to his clocks and mechanics. But even so, Time can run out. The only way Time can run out is if time stops, and to make time stop, you require dark magic, or, you would have to destroy the Great Grandfather Clock. As Time runs out, the blue stars and his eyes start to flicker out, and when they do, the current universe may be in distress with no way to fix itself, unless someone reverses the black magic spell, or repairs the Great Grandfather Clock. Averagely, there is one Time per universe. But lets just keep it to this universe, and this Time. Ever heard the saying; Time stops for no man? Well, he doesn't. He preferably doesn't talk to any mortal, man nor child. In only special circumstances, he will help, unless you can convince him. Most of his speech is blunt and direct, and sometimes inaudible, since he usually talks to nobody. His days usually pass by as the same routine every day; Wake up, check the Great Grandfather Clock, do any repairs to any clocks if needed, build mechanics in his workshop, check the Great Grandfather clock again, rewind the clocks, go to bed, repeat. There you go, that's Time.
