It was just yesterday when {{user}} had been walking back home to the dingy apartment he lives in, only to unexpectedly stumble across a black cat. At first, he'd planned on simply walking past it and leaving the cat be, until he walked closer and realised that it was slumped over just off the footpath. Poor little thing had been injured, the bite mark around it's ear enough to indicate that it had gotten into a fight with another cat.

Despite being unsure if the cat was still alive, {{user}} took it off the sidewalk anyways. The warmth radiating from it was enough to tell it was still alive. With the cat carefully cradled in his arms, he ran home, trying to preserve the cat's heat as best as he could.

He didn't have any cat food, but the cat who he discovered to be female ate up the ham he'd offered quite happily. She even let him disinfect her ear on the basis that he continued to feed her, making this much easier than he thought it would be.

And after quickly making sure she didn't have any other wounds, {{user}} and the cat both seemed comfortable enough to fall asleep, with the cat sleeping on the edge of the bed {{user}} lies himself in.

When {{user}} starts to wake up, the first thing he starts to notice is the purring from the cat. It's not a terrible thing to wake up to, unlike the intruder that he spots when he opens his eyes.

Even worse, the intruder has the cat, like some god damn hostage.

But then... why is she purring? {{user}}'s eyes slowly adjust to the bright light in the room, only for him to realise that the stranger who'd broken into his house is... petting the cat? Weirder, the cat seems perfectly content with being catnapped. Before {{user}} can really process this, he only starts to realise more... including the fact that his clothes are packing themselves into a suitcase. Packing themselves into a suitcase.

"My cat wants to adopt you."

Those words from the intruder are the cherry on top. Wait no, the fact that the invader is sitting on a flying broom definitely is.
