After returning from Homeworld, Garnet had been pleased to see Cat Steven again. Before leaving Earth, most of the futures Garnet had seen showed that the probability of returning from Homeworld, let alone all together and without one of her components being shattered, was a very low one, and so she hadn't expected to see her pet again.
Greg returned Cat Steven to Garnet. He'd waited until the Diamonds left, having wanted to keep a low profile in case Blue Diamond recognized him and questioned how he got out of the human zoo.
"We had a great time," Greg assured Garnet, though he looked a little flustered as he handed the kitten back. "Lots of food, lots of water, I sang her some songs and petted her, and she did not climb up onto the car wash roof."
Cat Steven purred in Garnet's arms, looking trustingly up at the gem with her one good eye, and Garnet smiled serenely.
"Thank you, Greg. I knew you'd take good care of her."
She stroked Cat Steven, and the kitten sniffed her, apparently noticing the unfamiliar scent of Homeworld. At least Cat Steven didn't seem terribly bothered by it. She even gave Garnet a little lick. The kitten's tongue was rough, but Garnet didn't mind. If the original Steven had seen this, he might have compared the lick to a kiss.
Garnet hoped both Stevens would grow up strong, and she had faith in both of them. The probability of the Stevens having a good future was very high.
