It was the middle of winter and Terezi was watching Cops on the couch. She'd been snacking on Cheese-its for a good 13 minutes before she heard a scratching at the door. Assuming it was just a friend she simply shouted for them to come inside.
"I said the door's open," she yelled. The scratching continued. "For the love of gog," she mumbled.
Terezi lifted herself from the couch and made her way to the door. She opened it slowly, not wanting to let any of the snow inside. She peeked outside to see if anyone was there. When she didn't see anyone, Terezi was gonna close the door before she felt a scratch on her toes.
"What the," she was cut off by a mewl. She looked down and saw a furry outline. Terezi bent down and felt around till she got her hands on the cat. She pulled him from the snow and walked back inside. Terezi placed him gingerly on her couch before leaving to find her glasses. When she came back with her red rimmed glasses she couldn't see the kitten anywhere.
"Well fuck." There wasn't any way she could find that cat. Her vision was failing rapidly so it was useless in terms of finding a kitten the size of a crayon box. Terezi pulled out her phone started texting a friend that could help.

With that out of the way she tried her best to lure out the tiny villain. Terezi brought out a can of tuna to attract the kitten but ended up dropping it on her carpet.
"Damnit." The smell of tuna drifted throughout her shack of a house. Terezi took a breath of relief when she heard her doorbell ring.
"Open the fucking door! I'm freezing my ass off out here," her friend shouted.
"It's already open idiot," she shouted back. As Karkat walked in he pinched his nose when the smell of tuna hit him.
"What's that smell? It's fucking disgusting."
Terezi looked up at him from the floor with a deadpan expression, "Tuna." Karkat was gonna open his mouth again to ask about it before he saw something crawling out from under her dingy couch.
"Is that the little fuckass?" He pointed out with his index finger.
Terezi opened her eye's wider when she saw the kitten moving over towards the tuna pile. She stood up and moved to Karkat's side. The unnerved kitten's movements were clumsy.
"Where the hell do you find a kitten that tiny in the middle of winter?"
"Outside my door," she answered, "It's a cruel and unfair world."
"So are you gonna keep him?"
"Maybe."
