Author Notes: Ok, so apparently today is "Hug Your Cat Day", not gonna lie, I didn't even know that was a thing until recently but when I learned about this, I just came up with the "purrfect" way to turn it into a part of this sage, so for all Cat lovers, enjoy!

Jade West was lazily scrolling through her phone, nothing really caught her attention as it was the "same old crap" as she called it whenever she was uninterested with whatever 'entertainment' the internet could offer, usually when the Thespian was bored, she either decided to spent time with her loving wife or write something for her latest project, neither which seem doable at the moment.

Mainly because Tori was out of the house doing who knows what and also because Jade had not been in a writing mood as her muse had been lacking as of late, she didn't know the reason behind her absence of new ideas but Jade hadn't been ok, creatively speaking it was as if her brain decided to shut down and take a vacation until further notice.

"Life kinda became a bit predictable." Jade yawned "It's just waking up, go to work, having dinner and go to sleep, and then wake up and do the whole thing all over again… Sometimes I wish things were like when I was a bit younger, crazy shenanigans that happened as a result of the neurotic woman I end up marrying."

The former Goth then looked at the empty living room, inwardly groaning at this realization.

"Why the fuck am I talking to myself?" She thought in utter annoyance as she continued scrolling through her phone until she finally (and unintentionally) coming across a cute cat video or more accurately a badass cat video as the young woman saw how a freaking tabby cat slapped a huge ass crocodile like it was nothing.

"That cat has more balls than most people I know." Jade said. "It deserves a treat."

"How about a hug instead?" Someone asked from behind.

This of course made the former Goth jump in surprise.

"Ahh!" The Thespian yelps in shock. "Ah, damn it to Hell, Vega! Don't sneak up on me like that! When did you came back?"

"I literally just entered the front door and told you I was home." Tori said bluntly. "But then I noticed you were distracted by the cat video, why am I not surprised that you would watch this sort of thing? Couldn't you instead see a normal cat video? One that doesn't involve playing with death?"

"My dear Vega, did you forget who you're married to?" Jade asked with her eyes rolling. "You knew about my dark sense of humor from day one."

"I know, I'm just saying, it would be nice to see you not always going through this dark path of entertainment." Tori replied. "I mean, you could always see something a bit more wholesome like cats hugging other cats."

"That's the most nauseating thing I ever heard." Jade chocked "Who would want to see that?"

"Lots of people actually." Tori said knowingly. "And today more than any other day since it's National Hug your cat day."

"Are you high, Vega?" Jade asked annoyed. "There isn't such a thing!"

"Uh huh!" The Latina said with determination. "there is!… See for yourself!"

The younger brunette got her phone out of her purse to show her scary spouse she was telling the truth, once the former Goth read with her own two eyes that such an event really does exist she whistled and said "Well, I'll be damned."

"Yup… Isn't that cute?" The Latina gushed. "It's a purr-fect occasion to shower your cat with love, attention, and warm embraces."

"Be that as it may my dear Vega." Jade said bluntly. "You seem to be forgetting one itty bitty little detail and that is that… Oh yes, we don't have a cat! We have a bunny, remember? Houdini just happens to be an expert in hide and seek."

"Yeah um… About that… Is it too weird to say that technically we kinda do?"

"Say what now?" Jade asked confused. "What the hell are you talking about Vega?"

"Well uh… You see, I kinda learned about the whole hugging cat day from someone else." Tori admitted with a nervous laugh. "And long story short, we'll be getting a visit from our hugging cat any minute now."

"Vega… What did you do?"

"I didn't do anything!" Her spouse said. "I was just on my way back from the store when I bumped into someone who just took the whole hugging thing into a whole new level of weirdness."

"Who did you…?" Jade was about to ask until she stopped mid question. "Oh forget it… I think I have a clear picture of who you're talking about."

Suddenly the married couple her the doorbell and a familiar voice saying "Ding Dong!"

"Getting a clearer picture now." The thespian groaned. "Oh, I feel a migraine coming up and not the fun type."

Next thing they knew, the front door opened and their friend Cat Valentine entered their house dressed in a cat costume.

"It's National Hug Your Cat Day!" The redhead yells out enthusiastically "Come on! I'm dressed like a Cat and I'm named Cat! Hug me!"

"That is quite the loophole, Cat." Tori said with a smile. "Don't you think so, Jade?"

"This is the universe kicking me in the ass for saying that Cat is basically a pet, isn't it?" Jade asked no one in particular but still got a "yup, looks like it." From her wife.

This of course earned the Latina an unamused glare from the Thespian.

"Come on, who here needs a hug?!" Cat asked playfully. "I came all the way from Cat land for some hugging sessions! Free hugs for all!"

"I swear, the universe hates me." The former Goth hissed mentally. "I asked for something to break the monotony of life and this is what I get?! Are you freaking kidding me?!"

While Jade didn't notice at first, her wife was just about to hug their friend but just as their arms were inches away from each other, the Thespian loudly clears her throat.

"Ahem... Cat what do you think you're doing?!"

"Oh, I'm gonna hug Tori" The redhead replied obliviously. "It's hug your cat day! Didn't you hear Jadey?"

"Kinda hard to ignore when that's all I been hearing for the past several minutes." Jade sneered. "But need I remind you that ALL of Tori's hugs are reserved for me?"

"Aww" Cat pouted in disappointment. "No fair."

"Wait… That is a first I'm hearing of this." Tori said. "Jade, what are you talking about?"

"Oh, it's simple really." The older Brunette said. "Cat and I signed a legal and binding contract that says if she hugs you without my permission, I can sue her."

"JADE!" Tori bellowed out "What the Hell?! Why would you do that?!"

"Two words, Vega." Jade said bluntly. "Magic mushrooms."

"Oh."

"…Yeah."

"I said I was sorry about that!" Cat whined. "And we were in High School!"

"Well… Be that as it may be." Jade snarled "Sorry doesn't change the fucking fact that I had to run all over the place after the love of my life who was stoned out of her mind!"

Cat began to cry.

"Aw God damn it, fine!" Jade relented "You can hug her but no longer than five seconds and I want your hands where I can see them!"

As soon as the waterworks were out, they disappeared because the redhead cheered with a pretty loud "YAY!" and hugged the Latina with all her might.

"CAT!" Tori groaned "Too tight! Too tight!"

"Did I just got played?" Jade wondered. "Seriously?! Looks like I gotta give Cat more credit."

"Don't worry Jadey!" The petite redhead said. "I didn't forget about you! Here goes the hugging express! I still got a hug in me!"

"You come near me and your 'paws' come off!" The Thespian snarled. "Don't test me, Cat!"

"But its hug your cat day!" She pouted. "Let me hug you!"

"There is only one 'cat' that gets to hug me today." Jade said "And that's not you."

"Aww… Then who?"

All of the sudden, the former Goth used her trusty scissors to cut the redhead's fake cat ears (which of coursed scared the daylight out of her friend) and put them on top of her wife's head.

"This cat!" Jade said quickly "Here Vega, Vega, Vega, let me hug you!"

Without any further ado, the Thespian hugged the perplexed Latina with all the love she could give.

"What just happened?" Tori thought. "I mean, I'm not complaining, I'm having some affection from Jade, but still… Pretty weird how I'm getting it."

Ok I know there was no literal "cat hugging" but I just thought it would be funny if Cat was the one who disguised herself as a cat and went around hugging her loved ones, I left implied that she already hugged everyone else in their friend groups and Jade & Tori simply were her last ones on her list.

For those of you who remember, Tori got high in my fic "Friday the 13, Performance Overload" and Jade clearly hasn't forgiven Cat for what happened.

Also, I wanna give thanks to Qutting time for some of the help provided for the dialogue.

Honestly after this, safe to say that Jade will be more careful for what she wishes for but unsurprisingly, she was clever enough to turn such a weird day for her advantage.

What did you guys thought of this one? Good? Bad? In between? As always constructive feedback is always appreciated.
