[ Well, he does seem very appreciative of food and water, yes. In fact--he might be resource guarding?? Is that a thing cats can do??? Whatever, he's totally being ridiculously possessive of this food bowl right now as soon as Daisy puts it in. ]

Go on, I won't take it from you. I'll turn around so I can't see you eating it.

[does so]

[ he scarfs that shit down so fast you might think he's gonna choke if you watched

but...

it does seem to increase his trust in you. at least a little. ]

Good. That wasn't so bad, was it?

[holds out her hand to it--not going to try and pet it, but letting it know the hand is there, so it can decide whether or not it wants pets]

[ it sniffs at your fingers warily. they kind of smell like food....

it tries to bite, but not necessarily savagely. he just wants more food!! ]

[laughs and gives it some more, but this time she'll watch]

Don't forget to drink, too.

[ he hesitantly takes this as well.

IS HE TRYING TO LOAD HIS BLADDER WITH MORE AMMUNITION, or is he perhaps rounding a bend here? ]

[GOOD QUESTION. she is watching him to see if he's going to try and aim more pee at her]

[ there doesn't seeeemmm to be anymore pee. it could be trap though ]

[going to try for the pet]

[ IT LETS YOU! it still doesn't seem very friendly, per se, but rome wasn't built in a day, either.

somehow you feel like... maybe you should give this cat another chance. you feel a little warmer ]

[smiles]

That's a little better, isn't it? Good kitty. Careful where you pee from now on.

[going to leave the cat be if it doesn't stop her, and see how Natalie is doing]

[ you may have to save her from an overly affectionate tiger ]

[THAT'S ADORABLE THO. and natalie seems like she can handle a giant tiger or two. probably that won't end in missing limbs or anything. :D

Daisy is going to see if there are any more heart-sick animals to take care of]

[ there's a cage with a sleeping cat that hasn't been visited yet. ]

[checking that one out, then]

Hello, who are you?

[ it doesn't appear to be waking up.

now that you're closer, you can see that it's a Himalayan cat inside. You can't see any visible scratches or bites, and in fact, but as soon as you see the numerous tags on its collar, the front-most which is silver and reads "CECILIA," you feel an incredibly, intensely deep guilt. ]

[aw :(]

Cecilia... I've heard that name before. She was our patron before Isabel, wasn't she?

[opening the cage and carefully picking her up, holding her in her arms]

[ there is a certain ping in your heart, a certainty, that confirms, yes, you've guessed right. Cat Cecilia continues to sleep peacefully in your arms, unaware. ]

[kisses the top of her head, and gently jostles her]

Wake up, da'len.

[ she doesn't stir. your sadness deepens. ]

[:( goes to look for something that might perk her up. catnip?]

[ she still sleeps. the harder you try to wake her up, the sadder you feel, until...

A dark moth, dusky in color, materializes before you. You have a moment to attempt to destroy it before it manages to escape. ]

[eyes widen, and she only has a split-second to think of what to do... Daisy quickly grabs for it to crush it in her hands]

[ oh.

oh dear. that was a mistake.

that's a dreadfully painful burning sensation all over both your palms wherever the moth touches your skin. it's still alive, though, between your fingers, not quite crushed. are you going to continue to try to kill it this way? ]
