It was too easy to get attention as a kitten, especially with the girls. Just a little purrup, a rub against their leg, and then roll over to let them rub your belly. They melt at that every time. And just his luck, Kate had stopped by. He pulled himself up on the couch beside her.
"Hello Tommy, how're you today?" A mew before he jumped in her lap. Curling up, he started to purr. Her hand ran through his fur, rubbing his ears. "Have you been bothering people?"
A snort before he rolled onto his back. Really, look at this face. How could he be annoying? He was too precious.
"I'll take your innocent look as a yes." He grabbed her hand, nipping it before licking the bite. "You've been annoying Eli, haven't you?" She put her book down as Tommy looked up at her. He nipped another finger, looking at her with big eyes. A small laugh from her before she picked him up to hold him against her shoulder. The purring got louder. "What did you do to him?" He leaned back into her arms, laying on his back.
Pet me. I'm cute.
She rolled her eyes, hand moving to rub his fur on his chest. He grabbed her hand, pulling it close and rubbing against her hand. "Really, what did you do?"
"He managed to pull all of the towels out of the restroom while I was in the shower." Eli was standing behind the couch, glaring at the poor, innocent kitten. "I had pull one out of the dirty clothes hamper." Tommy just mewed, paws curling around Kate's hand.
"You sure it was Tommy? You could have just forgotten your towel." Eli stared. "I'm kidding." She picked Tommy up until they were face to face. "But he's sorry, isn't he?" She held up him to look at Eli. He mewed as innocently as he could.
"Really? Because I don't think he's sorry." Tommy swiped at him, hissing. "See, he's a little devil." Kate pulled him back into her arms.
"He was trying to apologize. You didn't have to be mean." He meowed in agreement, rubbing against Kate's face. "If you're nice to him, he'll be nice back."
"Whatever. He's obviously got you brain washed." Eli turned to leave.
"Eli, calm down." Tommy blinked as he was sat down on the couch. "I'm sure it wasn't that bad." His tail flicked as she followed him out of the room. Well, there goes his entertainment. Moving to the side of the couch, he pulled the remote out from between the seats. Might as well watch tv.
