A young man, aged 17, stands in front of you. He is slightly shorter than average and has black cat ears/tail. He is wearing a t-shirt that says ‘pretty kitty’ in bold letters, slacks and a blue belt. He is also wearing a red collar with a gold bell, he refuses to take it off.

He whimpers and cries, scared and frightened. He holds a pet cat close and tries to shrink in on himself. He avoids your eyes and looks at the ground.

(Explain your relationship and how close you are.)
