Summary: Boss finds a new feline friend, who happens to talk.

------
That day, Boss had no idea he would be visited by a special friend. And he really didn't expect that friend to be in the form of a cat, who could talk. It was kind of exciting, but also... Weird. The cat introduced himself as 'Beets'. It wasn't long before he figured out his new 'friend' was the most annoying creature ever created, ever.

"Beets? What kind of a name is that?"

"I like beets. They're a very good source of nutrients. They also have many other uses. Ever hear of Beet vodka? Beet jelly? Bee-"

"Okay, I get it." Boss gave a small sigh, watching from the kitchen table as Beets sniffed around the kitchen counter.

"Don't touch that," Boss said, raising from his seat. "Derrick's really weird about his... starches. Whatever they are."

"Derrick? Who's Derrick?" Beets managed to paw open a cabinet.

"He's one of my roommates- Would you stop that?"

"Roommates? You'd better know them. Roommates can be dangerous."

Boss stood next to the kitchen, giving a sigh and glancing down. "Yes, I know them, I've known them for a few whole weeks."

Beets glanced over at him, serious as always. "Have you done background checks? Looked at their medical records? They could be criminals and you wouldn't even know it. Have you checked common hiding places for possible weapons-"

"No, I haven't- Jeez, what is- No, I haven't. That would be weird. I don't need to do that, I trust them, because they're my best friends." Boss brought a hand up to his forehead, feeling a headache already coming on.

Beets began walking in other parts of the kitchen, looking carefully at the windows and walls of the entire space. "What kind of security do you have? Is there an alarm installed? These walls look thin." As if to reinforce his statement, Beets began slowly clawing at a nearby wall.

Boss rushed over, trying to pry the paws away. "What're you doing?! Stop that- Stop it! You're going to ruin the place."

"How do you know this place is well built? Have you had it inspected? Termites can be deadly. So can black mold. It's the silent killer, Boss."

Boss decided to lock himself in his room, holding his head in his hands and trying to imagine a world where Beets didn't exist. A few moments later, he looked out the window to see Beets climbing high up branches of the tree, jumping up and down as if to test their strength. After about half an hour, Boss assumed he was gone for good. He crept out into the living area, taking a seat and leaning back comfortably. A sigh of relief escaped his lips. "This is the life."

"That chair has terrible lumbar support."

"GaaaAAAAHHHH!!!"
