It was a rainy day in Berlin. Everything was soaked, and people were walking fast. Everyone wanted to get out of the rain and be in their warm, dry homes.

Luise too wanted to come home fast. She was hungry, tired and wet. It had been a long day at work, and she just wanted to go home, eat, have a long shower and sleep.

While she was walking, someone bumped into her, making her purse fall off her shoulder. She cursed under her breath and kneeled on the wet pavement to gather her things.

When she was nearly done, a stray cat came to her and rubbed its head on her hand. It was a beautiful cat, with chestnut fur, brown eyes and a single long curly hair that stuck out from its head. Luise had never seen such colors on a cat. She petted its head and said "What is it, cat? I don't have anything you can eat."

The cat didn't seem to mind. It started licking her hand.

Luise was a bit startled. She had never seen a stray being so affectionate to someone.

"Go away. I can't take you home. My brother hates cats."

The cat looked at her straight in the eyes. She could have sworn it was smiling. It climbed on her legs and curled itself in her lap, purring.

Luise had a big soft spot for animals, and the cat seemed to have noticed it.

She sighed and got up, making the cat jump off her. It looked at her with hurt in its eyes. Luise thought it was all in her head. Cats don't have expressions, right?

She gave it one las pat on the head and was off.

But the cat followed her stubbornly.

"Go away, I told you! I can't keep you!"

The cat simply followed her, rubbing against her legs when she stopped at a zebra crossing.

Luise sighed.

Well, her brother would have to shut his mouth and put up with it.

Feliciano gave a triumphant smile. He had made that girl take him home! That was definetely something. It had been too long since he had spent the night in a house. And being a lover of easy life, he could not take it anymore. He had tried to make people take him home, but it seemed that in the Human World people weren't too keen on bringing a stray cat home. He had tried so many times and never succeeded. But when he saw the blond girl, he decided to give it one last shot. And thank God he did.

He kept on following the girl until they arrived in front of an apartment block, where the girl stopped, picked him up and got in.

She lived in a nice three – bedroom flat. Feliciano immediately spotted the couch and jumped on top of it, purring. Finally! A comfy couch for him to curl on! Oh, life was suddenly ten times better!

"I really don't think so."

He looked up at the girl with a confused look. What did she mean?

"You're not sitting on my couch until I give you a bath. Who knows where you've been."

Feli jumped off the couch. A bath was not a bad idea... he was all wet and cold, so why not?

Luise was completely baffled by the cat. She knew that cats hated water, but this one seemed to love it. It had happily gotten into the tub and let her shampoo it, purring all the while.

Seriously, this cat was something else.

While she was drying him, she asked him "So, what are you? A male or female?" before catching it firmly in her hands and checking under its tail.

The cat squirmed a lot, as if it was embarrassed. Seriously, what was this cat's problem? Enjoying a bath and squirming when she checked its gender?

"Oh. You're a boy. You have all the male bits."

Feli was thoroughly embarrassed. A girl had just grabbed him and checked his privates out. He knew that he shouldn't be embarrassed about it, but he was a man. You don't show the family jewels to someone who's just going to watch, right?

While he was letting the girl dry him, the door opened. A male voice said "I'm home, Luise!"

The girl seemed a little worried.

Oh! maybe this was the cat – hater brother she was talking about?

"I'm in the bathroom, Gilbert. Can you come for a moment?"

The boy laughed and said "Why? You need help bathing?"

The girl gave an annoyed sound and answered "No, you idiot. Come here, I have something to show you."

The boy simply said "Alright, alright. Coming."

The boy showed up. Feli noticed that he looked a lot like Luise (that was her name, right?). The only difference were his hair and eye color. He was probably an albino, because he had nearly white hair, red eyes and very fair skin.

He also carried a bird on his shoulder.

When the boy saw Feliciano, he jumped. "What the hell, Luise! Why did you bring a cat here?"

"It was raining and he was all wet and sad! I couldn't leave him here!"

The boy answered "Get it out of here before it murders Gilbird!"

Ah! Feli understood. The boy was scared that he would eat his bird. Well, no such problem. He didn't really like chicken anyway...

"Aw, come on! He's not going to kill Gilbird. I'll feed him enough, don't worry. And besides, I'm not kicking him out. He's an intelligent one, I can tell."

The boy groaned. "Is it a male?"

Luise nodded.

"Well, then it's not staying! He'll go in heat and dirty the whole house!"

Luise shrugged. "If he does that, we'll have him neutered."

Feliciano felt suddenly faint. That wasn't going to happen in a million years! He better behave...

The boy tried to look for another reason to kick Feliciano out. But he couldn't find any.

"Alright, it can stay! But if something happens to Gilbird, I'll hold you responsible! And make sure it doesn't pee around the house or sleeps on my bed."

Feliciano mewled happily. Luise smiled and answered "Thank you, Gilbert! Don't worry about anything!"

Oh my God, Feli! You better behave!

Ra and review, you guuuuys!
