Well, as you can tell, I have posted yet another story. I'm not sure if I'll make this a romance/slash story yet. I'll think about it.
I do not own Cats.
The sun shone through the window of the pet store as the day began. Animals stirred awake and prepared themselves for the day. A new batch of kittens slowly woke up and stretched their tiny bodies out. They stumbled their way over to their mother and pawed her stomach for her warm milk. A tom kitten with a strange tuxedo pattern was the one to wake up last. He wasn't as hungry as his brothers and sisters, so he went to play with a toy mouse.
The bell rang above the pet shop door and a tall man walked in. The kitten looked up from his toy mouse to see a face peering at him from behind the glass. The curious kitten walked over and pressed his nose against the glass. The face smiled and said something to the store worker. The kitten felt like something was wrong. He ran over to his mother.
"Mommy, why is that human pointing at me?"
She smiled. "My dear boy, he wants to take you home."
"B – But why?"
"So he can take care of you. We live in a place where humans come to adopt animals. They take us home so we can have a better life. All the food, shelter, and toys you could ever ask for! You will have fun, I promise."
The kitten noticed the two humans coming towards the glass. He nuzzled his mother and his brothers and sisters. The store worker picked him up and placed him in the other human's arms. He fit perfectly. The kitten purred as the human petted him.
"There you are, Mr. Houdini," the store worker said. "Have a good day."
"You as well," Mr. Houdini replied. He set the kitten in the box and carried him out to the car. The kitten fell asleep on the car ride home, dreaming of his new life. He felt the box shake and he cracked one eye open. Different scents filled his nose and he sneezed. The box lid opened and the kitten peered out.
So, this must be his new home. The kitten gazed around in wonder. There were strange contraptions around the house, which mesmerized the kitten. The man sat down on the ground, beckoning for the kitten to come out. The kitten slowly walked out to his outstretched hand. He spotted a box of cat toys, and his face lit up. But first, he decided to explore his new home. After about ten minutes of trotting around the place, the kitten decided he liked it here. The human placed out his toys and the kitten happily batted at a ball the human rolled towards him.
The kitten later learned that the human who had adopted him was the great Harry Houdini, the world's greatest magician and stunt escape artist. Harry put a collar that looks like a little black bow tie around the kitten's neck. The kitten tried biting at it and playing with it. Harry picked up the frisky kitten and smiled at him.
"You will be famous, my little kitten. I shall call you…Mr. Mistoffelees."
