[ SIIIIIIGH, she can't put this off much longer. Because Polka really really hopes the answer to her question is "no". There's a bit of aheming before she manages to actually say something, debating how to phrase her question. Finally, she settles on. Um... ha.. has anyone out there lost their New Feather cat? I'm looking after her

[Polka will be greeted at the job when she comes back with a happy 'merk!' and a gentle rubbing of her legs. Foot will then trot after her, only to sit on Polka's feet when next she stops moving. You have greetings, Polka.]

[floral_powder]

[ Polka giggles, pleased to see Foot was still there. She pauses just long enough to reach down and scritch the cat's soft fur, and then makes her way to the living room. ]

Hi Foot! [ Walking over to put the supplies down on the coffee table, there is sudden weight on her feet. Well hello there. She giggles again, kneeling to give Foot a more thorough greeting for a few hours minutes, since the presence of a kitty can easily distract someone from what they're doing. ]

I got you a few things - I hope you like them. Do you want to see?

[the_mighty_foot]

Perk?

[Foot seems to brighten up considerably at the mention of 'things'. She trails after Polka, looking up at her the whole time with wide, interested eyes.]

[floral_powder]

[ Polka smiles brightly, opening the bag. ]

First off, I thought I'd get you a bed all for yourself. [ Even though Foot will probably sleep everywhere and anywhere, and everything is the property of a kitty now... ] Here, try it out.

[ And she sets down the dark blue cat bed- mostly an overstuffed pillow that she can curl up in. She'd thought about getting one of those cathouse types, but she couldn't carry it. :I ]

[the_mighty_foot]

[Foot approaches the bed in much the same way she'd first approached Polka; on crouched legs and with ears and tail swiveling. As soon as she reaches the bed, though, she steps into it. Carefully, at first, until all four paws are on it. At which point, she chirps, carefully kneads the inside into submission, and then settles in as if that bed had always been her bed.

Approval is sealed as she seems to doze off.]

[ OOC PFffhg such an appropriate icon XD

Polka grins - though with Foot curling up to apparently snooze, now she can' show off the other stuff. Well that's okay, she'll be real quiet instead as she unpacks a small ball with a bell inside, a catnip mouse, and then collects the rest of the bag, heading upstairs. Scratching post in her room, and then another one back downstairs. A pause to check on Foot, and then on to the kitchen. Cat bowls and food next. ]

[the_mighty_foot]

((She has many, many sleepy icons...appropriate for a kitteh...))

[Although she seemed asleep, the jingling ball wakes her up, and as Polka heads upstairs, Foot unearths herself from the cat bed and stalks her new, shiny prey, sending it jingling merrily under a chair.

One Polka comes back downstairs, she'll find Foot trying to reach the ball, but once she hears the food...well, there she'll be. She's hungry. Oh boy is she hungry.]

[floral_powder]

[ It's so quiet in the house with Frederic being ill, and Viola... heaven knows where she was right now. It's nice having a kitty around. Hearing the jingling, Polka giggles, pleased that the cat was thoroughly entertained. In the kitchen, she has a bag of dry cat food and a few cans of tuna, which she immediately puts away. That's only for a treat for kitties. ]

I don't know what dry cat food really tastes like, so I hope this is okay; it's the only kind that they had. [ Here you go kitty, fresh food and water. ]

[the_mighty_foot]

[Foot will stretch out her head to sniff the bowls as they're settled to the ground before looking back at Polka. Her tail goes high and seems to tremble a little with excitement. She makes a quiet 'perk!', rubs against Polka's legs, and then turns her attention to the food.

It actually smells very much like the dry food from home. Without too much hesitation, she starts to eat, tail still high and shaking slightly.]

[floral_powder]

[ Keee, so cute. ]
I guess you like it huh? [ It didn't look all that appetizing to Polka, but then, she wasn't a cat. She reaches down to scratch Foot's spine lightly, and steps away to watch her eat, curiously. Oh, she should actually make some chicken soup for Frederic since he's not been eating well. Wait - no, beef stew. It's heavier. ]

So I heard your owner isn't anywhere in Luceti after all. [ It's totally natural to converse with a cat. Why are you looking at me like that. :I ]

[the_mighty_foot]

[Food attraction for cats is mostly smell; taste and look have little to do with it. But Foot is happy to have any food at all. Full bellies always equals a happy kitty.

Once she's had enough for the moment, she'll sit down and look up at Polka while she speaks. At the word 'owner', she murrs a little, and, when Polka looks to her, slowly, carefully, will shake her head 'no'. Her owner isn't here; else Foot would have felt her presence.

She wilts a little after that very human gesture.]

[floral_powder]

[ Polka blinks, because that was a DEFINITE headshake. Not just a 'there's something in my ear' shaking of the head, but a clear 'no'. That's... a little weird. But then when she first saw the kitty she'd imagined she heard it's voice too. But that's just silly. ]

.. oh...! [ Don't be sad! ;.; Polka sets the meat aside and wipes her hands on the towel as as not to get meatjuice on the cat's fur. Then she knees to scritch Foot under the chin reassuringly. ]

I'm sorry, I know you must miss him or her terrible. It isn't easy to be taken away from your home like that. Especially if there's no one else around that you know. [ And then a smile. ] Chin up! I hear that people are sent back home sometimes, so you'll see them again. And until you do, I'll look out for you.

[the_mighty_foot]

[Foot will lean into the chin scritch, her eyes closed in happy enjoyment. She'll gently bunt Polka's hand after ways, and give a sad little purr.]

'She'...isn't here. But...yes. Maybe someday?>/i>

[floral_powder]

[ Scritch scritch scri-- Polka startles because she definitely heard something just then. And she glances around curiously - maybe her mind is playing tricks on her. ]

Hey Foot.... did you hear something just now...?

[the_mighty_foot]

...Me?
