Chapter 4: Nice to Meet You…

It was mid-morning when Yuuri decided to take a nap in the backyard. It was one of those lazy days where his master and her family were out of the house for a while.

"Hello Yuuri"

Yuuri left his head up slowly, still sleepy, and took notice a cat, that had entered the backyard, that called his name.

"Oh, Hello Murata" Yuuri replied.

Murata is a longhaired black cat, same size as Yuuri, with brown eyes. His master, Shinou, is a single father that lives next door to Yuuri's house. Murata's master is also a workaholic and is almost never home five days out of a week. Therefore, when he is not home Murata usually taken to Yuuri's home, Mostly because he doesn't trust Murata alone. At first, Yuuri was a little scared when he was introduce to Murata, but after an hour or two Yuuri finally warm up to him.

"When did you get here?" Yuuri asked as he sat up to wash his face.

"About an hour ago, before Mama left for the shops…you were napping to notice," he answered as he sat down in front of Yuuri.

"Sorry about that." Yuuri yawned. "It's just so purrfect of a day to that I wanted to take a nap…you know."

"I don't blame you," Murata told him as he too yawned. "It's really a purrfect day for an outdoor nap"

Murata moved to where Yuuri was laying and lied down next to him. There they both curled up, facing each other, and went to sleep in the sunlight.

Miko just came home from grocery shopping to find Murata trying to grab Yuuri's tail and Yuuri watching him in the living room.

"Oh, Hi there Muu-Chan and Yuu-Chan" she greeted as she went to the kitchen. Yuuri just mew while Murata just continued missing the long black tail.

"Hey Murata…are you done yet?" Yuuri asked as Murata missed his tail…again.

"Yeah…" he answered as he started to scratch his ear. "By the way…have you met the new lady who lives across for you?"

"Yeah, she came over last night…and tried to squish me." Yuuri answered as he went to the kitchen for a drink. Murata followed, while dodging Miko's feet when she was putting away food items.

"Poor Yuu-Chan" he replied as rubbed his head against Yuuri's head.

"Don't call me that. It's bad enough with Master and Shori call me that." Yuuri moved away from Murata. "And today I have to meet her again with master.

"Really…why is that?" the brown eyed cat asked, as Yuuri drank some water from his bowl.

"Well…"

*flashback*

After the incident with Celi, Yuuri ran upstairs to Shori's room to hide. When he went inside, Shori was flipping out about his new dating-sim game. Apparently, to Yuuri's understanding, a character named Acel, or at least that's what Shori was complaining about, that he worked so hard to marry turns out to be a male. Yuuri just ignored him as he went hiding under his blanket.

It when heard the door close and footsteps coming upstairs did Yuuri came out under the blanket. Miko opened the door then asked Shori "Have you seen Yuuri?" and Shori shook his head 'no'.

Then she notice Yuuri sitting on the bed looking at her.

"Oh there you are. Were you watching Sho-Chan playing his games?" She asked the cat as she picked him up. Yuuri just squirm all the while that Miko was carrying him downstairs.

*end flashback*

"After she carried me downstairs, she told me that I'm going for a 'kitty cat play date'. After that I don't know…I was still little bit in a sour mood after the hug." Yuuri finished the story

"And the last thing you wanted was being held"

After Murata said that, a knock came to the front door. Both cats went to went to the living room to see for whom Miko was opening the door.

"Hello Shinou-San how was your day?"

"It was great Mrs. Jennifer…though I could do without the boring meetings and yelling co-workers.," he told her as he entered the house.

"Well, Muu-Chan was well behaved" She said as she went to pick up Murata. "He was playing with Yuu-Chan all day." as she handed Shinou Murata

"That's great hear." he said as retrieve his cat from Miko. "I should be going. Thank you for watching Murata."

"It's not trouble. Yuu-Chan love to see his friends," she told him with a smile.

"By the way, I'm going to be out of town with my son this week. Do you think you can watch Murata…?"

"Shinou-San, I'll be happy to watch Murata while you and your son are away."

"Thank you again Mrs. Jennifer.," he said as he left to go to his home with his cat in his arms.

After they left, Miko shut the door and turned to face Yuuri, who was lying on the floor.

"Well Yuu-Chan, I think it almost time for us to leave as well," Miko told the black cat. "We don't want to be late for your little kitty cat play date with Celi-Chan's cats, don't we."

Yuuri just mew in response.


It was about five minutes after three, when Miko knocked on Celi's front door. Yuuri wasn't too thrilled to see Celi again, and Miko was having hard time holding on to him. So when Celi opened the door, Yuuri just jump out of his master's grasp and ran inside the house.

"Sorry about that. Yuu-Chan is never like this." Miko apologized as grab Yuuri before he ran further into the home.

"It's okay; you can put him in the living room with Gwendal and Conrart."

Miko nodded as she went to the living room. She place Yuuri down and follow Celi to her backyard, where Gunter set up the tea and snacks in her garden.

Yuuri just sat there where his master had placed him. He wasn't feeling comfortable about this 'play date'. He walked around the room a bit, and jumped when he heard a loud meow behind him.

"And who are you and why are you here?"

Yuuri turned around and saw it was the mean gray cat from a week ago.

"Hello, my name is Yuuri. My master was invited here…" Yuuri squeaked when the other cat step forward "…by your master, and my master brought me here to meet her cats."

The other cat just looked at him, and Yuuri gather up what little courage and asked "May I ask what's your name?"

"It's Gwendal" he replied as he sat down, glaring at the small cat, in front of him.

"It's nice to meet you Gwendal." Yuuri spoke, only to yelp when Gwendal's glare harden.

"Calm down. I'm sure he's already scared, and you're not helping."

Both Yuuri and Gwendal turned their head to see a brown cat walking to them.

"Hello Yuuri" he greeted as he rub his head against Yuuri's "My name is Conrart."

"Conrad…?"

Conrad just purred "No, but you can call me that. It's easier to pronounce."

Yuuri purred happily, finding that at least one of the cats was friendly. "It's nice to meet you…but how did you know my name?"

"I overheard you and Gwendal talking."

Just then, the three cats heard a soft thump coming from the stairs. They turned to see a fluffy blonde cat walking to the bay window in the living room.

"Come with me Yuuri, I'll introduce you to him."

"Okay" and Yuuri follow Conrad to the bay window.


Wolfram just leapt onto the sill when Conrad came up.

"What do you want?" Wolfram hissed.

"Hello Wolfram, I like you to meet Yuuri." he said as he motion Yuuri to come up.

"Now who is…?" Wolfram was cut off when he saw the small black cat in front of him. It was the same black cat from across the road.

"Hello…um Wolfram is it?" Yuuri asked shyly as he looked over to Conrad if he got it right. Conrad just nodded, and Yuuri just turn back around.

"Hello Wolfram, my name is Yuuri" he greeted as he rub his head to Wolfram. "It's nice to meet you."

Wolfram just sat there as he said "It nice to meet you too…"
