Story 13
Midnight vs Dante
Carter Casterwill (Guest)'s Request
Dante's POV
"Zhalia! Your cat won't leave me alone." I yelled.
"He likes you!" She yelled back. The little blue kitten meowed and rubbed its face on my hand.
I sighed and rubbed his ears. I tried to work, but the baby wanted to climb all over me. I gave up and got up to take Midnight out. Her other two cats, a long furred mother and her growing baby, thought this was the perfect opportunity for bonding time.
"Meow." Tiger Lilly, the mother, meowed and leaned on my leg with her front paws.
"Zhalia!" I said, annoyed.
"Oh, good, you're taking a break." She came in and all her cats went to her. They loved her best.
"I wasn't-" I sighed and sat down. She smiled.
I read my newspaper and Zhalia watched TV. Her cats were cuddled up to her and they were happy. We sat with only the noise of the TV in the background until I thought of something.
"Did you send your cats to get me to take a break?" I looked at her.
"That's dumb. They're cats, not Titans. They like you." She petted Kitty, the almost adult.
Midnight attacked my pant leg before jumping up and curling up on my lap, "I guess so."
The blue cat purred as I scratched his back. Kitty played with her toy mouse now. Midnight was not relaxed enough to ignore the sounds of toys so he went to go play with the long furred baby. I finished up the paper and went back to work.

Zhalia's POV
"Kitties, come," I called for Kitty and Midnight. They scampered back to the couch, "Good work on Dante duty, Midnight, but I think it's Tiger Lilly's turn."
He meowed sadly, "I know, but you like Lok, right?" He meowed again. Lok played with him a lot and they cuddled.
Kitty lay on her tummy and lazily listened, "I know the boys aren't your favorite, but they need to be looked after. I think Den is starting to warm up to you." Her ear twitched. I saw Den give her a piece of chicken when he thought I wasn't looking. Harrison gave Kitty pets from time to time.
Tiger Lilly chirped, "Yes, get Dante at dinnertime. Those are your duties for awhile. You can go play now." Midnight went off somewhere and Tiger Lilly decided to wash herself. Kitty was content with staying where she was.
