Text Cut: Convo from before he left
Heath blinked, feeling slightly unsettled by the mention of the “broken” cat. Flora’s cat was definitely weird-looking, but he didn’t think it was broken. In fact, it reminded him a bit of himself... different, misunderstood, an outsider in his own family. He couldn’t help but feel sorry for it! Hey, you’re not broken, are you, kitty? He thought, bending down to offer it a pet. You’re just special. “Maybe he just hasn’t found the right toys and treats yet,” he said to Flora. “You know, people thought Rey was broken too. She was the smallest of her litter - she’s still pretty small for her age - and her meow sounds like a bike horn.”As if on cue, Rey meep-meeped at him. He laughed; then, remembering Flora’s question, he added, “She likes fish treats and toys that move, like feather wands and balls.”

Meep! Meeeeeep! Who you calling smol? I iz big, strong Jedi cat! Hey! Never mind… I go back to getting petted now. Purrrrrrrrr…..


Heath held on to Fiona’s leash for dear life, avoiding her gaze as he walked back to Flora, Rey, and Catastrophe. He’d expected her to try to make a run for it (and probably yank his arm out of its socket in the process), but so far, this was a lot easier than he thought! Maybe Fiona wasn’t such a bad kitty after all! He still wasn’t going to let his guard down around her just yet, though. He made it back, but before he could warn Flora not to look the wampus in the eye -

Yay, my hooman is back, and what’s this? He brought the big kitteh with him. Hiiiiii, big kitteh! Want to be friends? Rey looked up, her big blue eyes meeting the other cat's yellow ones. Okay, big kitteh. I play dead. Then can we be friends?

MEEEEEEEEEP! Rey fell off the bale just like the big kitteh said, landing in a crumpled heap at the girl hooman's feet. Oww! You squished me, hooman!


"Rey!" Heath cried, kneeling beside the tiny gray cat, all thought of the obstacle course forgotten. In his panicked state, he almost let go of Fiona's leash, but fortunately he remembered her just in time. While one hand clutched the leash in a vise grip, the other gently touched Rey's face. "No, please don't be dead…" You're the only friend I have here...
