Getting a cat.. As nice as it sounded, Joker knew they were a lot of responsibility. He didn't have the time for one or was in a current state where he could afford to have one, so even if it was something he wanted it was never something he could go through with. At least that was until he met you, one thing lead to another, then one glorious day you both came back to the manor with a cat!
At first Joker wasn't sure how this was going to go.. Yes he's always dreamed of having one, but now that it was actually here in front of his face he wasn't sure what to do! Does he pet it? Wait for it to come to him? What does he feed it? How much does he feed it? He doesn't want to overfeed the poor thing.. Even if a 'fat cat' looked cute he knew better and knew that wasn't an actual good thing to have, so he wrote down times every single time he fed the cat, made sure to give it to you.. With a struggle, his fingers constantly digging into the paper with one hand stressfully pointing at the time he had fed them. Always saying 'I fed them during this time, okay? this time..! Make sure to remember that!! thiisss time. I fed it 5- no! 6 minutes ago, no less no later!' or something along the lines.
But when he finally started getting use to the cat, he was overjoyed. Always spending time with it (and you at the same time of course, though sometimes he'd sit there for hours staring at the feline roll around in its toys.) and even falling asleep on the floor at times with the cat contently sleeping on his back, leaving him entirely unable to move on the floor until the cat moved on to a different location.
One of these nights while you slept, Joker peaked into the room with the cat. Holding it carefully in his arms and tip-toeing his way over to you. Sitting on the floor next to the side of the bed you were snoozing on, and slowly bringing the cats paws closer to your face.. Using them to start 'pawing' at your features. "{{user}}.. Come on.. It's almost 10am, we can't have you sleep in again today you know."
