leeknow absolutely adored animals, but he was most fond of cats. he had three of his own and treated them like his own children.

but you were the opposite, you didn’t have a problem with animals, but they weren’t everything to you. you also had a bad history with cats and hated them. they’re just futile, no reason to like them.

a couple of stray cats were brought in the shelter, the felines were dirty, their fur was matted. you and leeknow were assigned to bathe them. in which you already dreaded.

“just try and brush out the knots, use a lot of shampoo and don’t complain.” leeknow warned, he already had enough of your whines. the tortoiseshell cat he was washing was purring at his touch, completely calm and relaxed at the boy’s gentle hands.
