"I found her just outside the café."said Ichigo, holding up a small kitten.
Everyone gathered around her, awing, and saying how cute the kitten was.
"No pets allowed."said Ryou, who was the only one not admiring the kitten. "This is a café not a pet shop or a zoo."
"What do you mean no animals allowed?"said Ichigo. "Especially cats. What about me? Don't I have cat DNA in me? And don't I turn into a cat?"
"All of us, don't we?"said Lettuce. "The DNA of some animals."
"I think she should be the café mascot, no da!"said Pudding.
"Besides, cats catch mice. Then we won't have to worry about mice."Mint pointed out. "Not just mice, either, but just about any vermin."
"We don't have mice here."Ryou told them. "If you're so worried about it, buy some mousetraps."
"But we've never had a café mascot, no da."protested Pudding.
"And we never will."Ryou added the last part. "Besides, I'm allergic to cats."
"What?!"everyone exclaimed. "Allergic to cats?"
"No, you're not! And I take that personally!"said Ichigo. "I'm a cat. Sort of."
"You can turn into a cat, and you're allergic to cats?"asked Mint.
"Is it possible to be allergic to yourself?"wondered Lettuce.
"No, it's not."said Ichigo. "And unless she stays, I quit! Why won't let us keep this cat here?"she demanded.
"I like Pudding's idea of keeping a café mascot. It might even be good for business."added Keiichero. "Cat café's are becoming very popular. We would just have to obtain a license, but that won't be too much trouble."
"So it's six against one!"said Ichigo triumphantly. "And she stays!"
"I'm the owner of this café, and I say no cats."
"I'm a waitress, and the leader of Tokyo Mew Mew, and I say if we don't keep the cat, I quit. Both."
So, should they keep the cat? And if they do, what should her name be? Perhaps Ryou's right, and Ichigo doesn't realize just how mischievous kittens can be.
