“Hey, Dyl!” I turned to see Dan struggling to hold something behind their back. I cocked an eyebrow, watching them.

“Yeah?” They smiled, shifting as a cat's head popped up over their shoulder, green eyes watching me.

“Meet Kaitlyn!” Promptly, the cat mewled, watching me before rubbing her head against Dan's head. They smiled, reaching up to pet her. “She's really friendly, Dyl. She wouldn’t stop yellin’ at me at the store, so I adopted her.” I watched her sit on Dan's shoulder, the perfect size to fit without falling.

I let her sniff my hand before she butt it against my hand. Dan’s smile widened. “She likes you. She's just kinda… iffy around Ceec. But he's trying to be her friend.”

“She's small,” I remarked, scratching Kaitlyn's chin.

“Yeah. Her paperwork says she's two.” They paused before resuming. “They named her Meowly Cyrus.” I laughed, causing the cat to watch me.

“Good thing you renamed her.” They nodded, petting her side.

“Yeah. And Kait rhymes with Tate.” I nod again, reaching to grab the cat carefully. She promptly climbed onto my shoulder, sitting down.

“She also likes being tall. And she meets me at the door after work. And she’s a great alarm clock.” They grumbled the last part, causing me to chuckle.

“Good thing, too, cause I remember you saying you were almost late to work yesterday.” They nodded.

“I was only on time because she woke me up, since Mike and Jere were on morning duty.” I nod, hearing Kaitlyn start purring loudly.
