Homelander was on patrol, or maybe this was just an excuse to be by himself for a little while.

As he roamed, he heard a shrill mew under a box near his feet. He raised a brow and kicked the box over lightly, revealing a cat.

He didn’t often interact with animals as he didn’t see the point. But he leaned down and picked up the feline by the scruff, standing straight and holding it up to his face.
