[The handwriting of the post is surprisingly elegant, and before there's anything written from him there is a rather good sketch of a small, black, winged kitten.]

Did anyone lose this? They've been following me around most of the day now and I haven't seen any lost pet signs.

And demand pets, but mostly the first one.]

This is absurd. I didn't ask for a cat.

That's the thing about cats, you don't get to ask for it. If they choose you, that's it, it's yours. I don't make the rules, I just follow 'em. You might as well invest in some cat food and a scratching post.

A what post?

[fishflakes]

Scratching post. You know, a tall post cats can use to scratch and sharpen their claws on.

[threebetrayals]

You mean a tree branch?

[fishflakes]

I guess you could make one with a tree branch sure. As long as it’s standing up like this

What else would you use?

[fishflakes]

To make a scratching post? Probably a stick of wood and some sort of rough, thick fabric. So they can scratch without messing up their paws.

[threebetrayals]

A tree branch sounds easier.

[fishflakes]

Sure, but I dunno how good it is for cats to scratch on bare wood. They could get splinters in their paws.

[threebetrayals]

A good point, but what do you think they use when they don't have owners?

[fishflakes]

Fair point. Still, if he's your new pet, you wanna give him all the best stuff right?
