Kitty Kat

"Little brother? Are you home?"

It did not seem like Ivan was home and after considering the situation for a moment, Katyusha decided to let herself in anyway, as she usually did. With the key Ivan had given her, opening the back door and simply stepping inside. She had just realized that she was missing some of her plastic storage containers, meaning she had likely lent them to her brother. So it was time to search the kitchen and hope that they were not all being utilized.

Kat was almost ready to steel herself against the state of the house when, to her surprise, she realized that it was not a complete mess. Not to say it was clean, Kat knew clean and knew that Ivan was really bad at that, for whatever reason. But this was the best state she had ever seen this place in. Wondering if it was just the front hall, she entered the kitchen to see a relatively similar state in there. That is strange.

She considered Matthew and a smile formed on her face. That was probably what was causing this change for the better. She would have to remember to thank him. Or would that be too embarrassing? Oh, she did not know!

Little time was spent trying to find her containers, as they had been washed and were waiting for her on the counter. Picking them up, she turned to see Anastasia's dish.

Then Kat remembered that she had left the door open.

Quickly she rushed over to shut the door, staring about the house. "Anastasia? Anastasia! Um... here kitty... Are you here?"

Ivan tended to carry the cat wherever he went, but Kat did not think that Anastasia was subjected to Ivan's work, so she had to be in here somewhere.

"Anastasia!"

Kat knew instantly that she should know better about how to find a cat, so went to find some of those treats that she knew Anastasia liked so much that Ivan seemed to hand out like pieces of popcorn.

"Here you go girl... here are some treats! Ana... Anastasia?" Now very nervous, Katyusha opened the door once more and stared outside. "Oh no."

She had lost Anastasia. She had lost her brother's beloved cat. Biting her lower lip, she returned inside and went straight to the phone.

"Hello?"

"Oh Angus! I lost brother's cat!" Kat sniffed, trying to keep from crying. "I left door open and she's not here!"

"K... Katyusha?"

"Please, can you help me find her?" The last thing she wanted to have happen was for Ivan to find out, he would hate her! Tears fell down her cheeks as she glanced about once more for any sign of that cat. Still there was nothing. Just that door, taunting her from the corner of her eyes. At least, it was before it was all blurred by the tears in her eyes.

"Of course! Stay put, m'gal, we'll find her."

"O... kay."

Kat was so worried, she failed to realize that she missed taking her pills.
