leaving seattle had been pretty hard on him, most of all what he missed was his small menagerie of animals. between the rats and the chinchilla and the ferrets (and don't forget the cats and the gerbils) he'd had to leave most of them behind. already his stress was through the roof from it, and the only option he could see what sneaking a cat into his dorm. of course, in order to do this he needed to adopt said cat. luckily he wasn't that short on money, so he tucked his wallet in his back pocket and dressed quickly.
so far his dorm was still empty so he cleaned what was needed and left, slipping off campus quietly. it was a warm day so far, sun shining brightly and he yawned, covering it with his arm. he'd wandered by the small pet shop before and traced his steps, gaze sweeping past cafes and stores idly as he sought out the store. of course being still the morning he was easily swayed by freshly brewed coffee and found himself in a cafe, grabbing a large cup and exiting swiftly, managing to spot the store across the street.
draining most of the liquid in one go he walked over, sliding into the store quietly and looking around. he spotted the section of the store where behind glass there were cubicles, and in those clear cubicles there were cats for adoption. pausing briefly, he wondered what kind of cat he wanted. an adult one for sure, or maybe a kitten? |

WORD COUNT BY MINNIE OF GS AND IT'S DARK ON A COLD DECEMBER, Cleaning out the cat cubbyhole area was never really Nenet's favorite job. It wasn't that she disliked cats, no that wasn't a problem at all. They were nice, warm fluffy, and most of them were pretty sweet. Except for the one cat that they had deemed Piddles. Piddles was just plain evil. Piddles had on more than one occasion decided that using her as a scratching post was a wonderful idea. Maybe he just didn't like his name. Bit either way, she hated cleaning his cage.
She worked to try and clean out the cage she was currently working on when she felt the inhabitant clawing its way up her shirt, though these claws were tiny, bitty paws kneading at the fabric as it tried to hold on. The Kitten pen was one of her favorite things, actually. Little balls of kitten fur that never ran out of energy. Sure...sometimes it was a bad thing. As the kitten mewled, a hiss from one of the other cages made her skin crawl. Piddles...she swallowed her breath and held the kitten still hiking up her shirt at a length. "Shhh...N-Now why don't we let Piddles sleep huh?" there was no meow of conformation, only a confused head tilt from the black and white Kitten in her arms.
And that was when she noticed someone standing just outside, looking in at all the cats. She held the Kitten to her chest. Did he need something? Closing the pen but holding on to the fluffy little ball of joy and stepping out from the side door. "Hiya, Welcome to Precious pets! Anything I can help you with?" She asked cheerily, giving him the warmest smile she could offer. The warmest she could give him with Piddles in the area anyway.. - - i think i love you better now |

shy's gaze slid to the young woman holding the kitten. he zeroed in on the feline, slowly rising and bouncing on his toes. he didn't particularly want a kitten, since kittens were unpredictable and he enjoyed mostly older cats who wouldn't become hellions. chewing his lip he shoved his hands in his pockets and nodded briefly, it would be best to ask an employee.
"i'm looking for a cat actually..." he stepped closer to the area, looking at the cats lazing about. "i'd like an older cat to be honest, kittens are cute but unpredictable and i don't really want a hellion." he offered the fellow teen a small smile, knowing not many people adopted adult cats. |

WORD COUNT BY MINNIE OF GS AND IT'S DARK ON A COLD DECEMBER, Nenet listened to him with an interest. He was looking for a cat? Well, they did have a lot of kittens to sell. But if she were being honest, any empty cubby would free up space that they really needed anyway. She held the kitten still, thumb rubbing gentle circles over its rib cage in order to soothe it. She did love these animals, and any one of them getting a good home would make her happy.
"Okay, no Problem! Let me just put this little guy back!" She vanished behind the glass for a minute, placing the kitten with the others and shutting the cage. "Feel free to come back here!" She called to him. She'd wait for him to come back before she began scanning the cages. "So, are you looking for a more average energy level? Or a medium one? Since the kittens take up most of the higher energy cats." She explained, avoiding looking into Piddles cage for the time being. - - i think i love you better now |

"Personally I'd prefer a low energy cat if possible." He wandered around the area, glancing into cages and barely able to resist the twitching in his hands. He'd learned his lesson a while ago that petting random cats wasn't always the best idea. He wandered over by Piddles cage, peering in at the grumpy cat. His lips twitched but he didn't try to reach for the cat, instead sliding his gaze back to Nenet.
"I've been to some places where they have personality cards for the animals, but I don't know if you guys use that system. I'm using this cat mostly for emotional support and as a service animal." He played with one of the more curious kittens for a moment, a soft smile coming across his face. |
