"That's Gingersnapple," he explained, squinting up (because of the sun) at her, making patterns in the sand with his finger. "Obviously... he was orange at one point..."
Funny story, that.
Still dodging the actual question, or rather delaying the answer, Jake watched as the cretin was offered food. Which it would most probably nom. omnomnom.
Realising he couldn't just not answer, Jake looked up at the girl's face again. "He belongs to Professor Bunbury," he stated.
"Prof-" Kiri froze. This was
Professor Bunbury's cat? And Jake had coloured him
pink?! He was going to be in so much trouble! (Probably. The professor did seem to have a certain... affinity for that colour.)
The only thing now was to make sure that she, Kiri, didn't go down when the
HMS Jake sank. Giving the monster some cookies might be a good start.
"Professor Bunbury?" she repeated, out loud this time. "Ging...er...snapple is her cat?! What's she going to say if she sees him like that?" Another question presented itself to her in the throng of responses, modulated by shocked surprise. "
Why did you turn him pink, anyway?"

He rubbed around Kiri's legs in appreciation and then bounced over to Jakey, basically confirming his story about belonging to Momma Bunny. "Meowrawr?" he asked the boy, trotting around the sandbox. Sand...reminded him of his... litterbox. Mmmhm. "Mow?"
Well, at least the cat wasn't in any apparent pain or discomfort. Kiri held her hand still as Gingersnapple wobbled closer, poking his cat nose into the napkin and along her robes. The feline biscuit inspection conluded, he began gobbling them down greedily.
His huge coarse tongue (It was
pink, too? Oh Merlin...) tickled Kiri's open palm as the last crumbs were located and devoured with efficiency. Now that she knew whose cat it was, she didn't really know what to do. This cat looked smart, she'd noticed that earlier, could Professor Bunbury somehow... be told by him what had happened? Kiri ran her hand through Gingersnapple's thick fur a little awkwardly as he brushed along her legs. "That's it, I think," she told him, scratching his ears. "No more biscuits, sorry." The cat let himself be petted for another moment or two, then ambled off towards Jake again.
