Adoption...

I remember the last time I saw my family. It felt like any normal day, relaxing and enjoying the ability to finally be able to see and hear. I remember seeing a Two-Leg walk over to me, my mother, and siblings and loom over us for a moment. Then it leaned down and started touching my mother. I felt nervous, but my mother didn't seem concerned so I didn't think much of it.

"My kits, I have something to say. Today is the day you will depart into the world without me." The new mother looked at her kits with a sad  expression crossing her muzzle. "But why? I don't want to leave!!" Asked one of the bigger kits, tripping over to her mother.

"You will all be adopted by other Two-Legs, and live in their homes. Once you get a little older you will be able to come and visit me at night by way of the allies! I will always love all of you and I will come to all of you tomorrow night, don't worry." The mother answered her anxious kittens.

I looked at my siblings, then looked at the Two-Leg. I decided to make the first move so I went over to the Two-Leg and nuzzled its foot, gently purring.

I started petting my cat, and then felt a little furry ball on my leg. "What are you doing you silly?" I asked the kitten. I put my hand down and started petting the kitten.

A giant hand lowered towards my face. I screamed. I lowered myself, but the hand caught me and started petting me. I was terrified, but then noticed how gentle the hand was.

"Don't be scared, little one. Your okay. Today you are going to find a new home! I have my friend Jacob coming over to see if he will adopt you! He has a very nice apartment and would love having a cat in the house. He has a big yard that you can roam around in once you get a bit older. Well, now why am I still talking. Lets get you some breakfast!"

I looked at the Two-Leg wondering what all of its noises meant. "Breakfast...? What does that mean? Maybe milk?" I wondered aloud.

The Two-Leg came back with a big bowl with something delicious smelling inside it.

"What is this Mama?" I asked my mother. "Well now Shadowtail, that is what Two-Legs call 'Breakfast' or food. It is very tasty!" Shadowtail looked at the bowl, contemplating weather or not to go over and check out the contents.

She walked over to the bowl and sniffed it. She got something on her nose so she licked it clean. "Oh wow! That's amazing!" She devoured a lot of the food with her siblings. (It was chicken with warm milk)


Two Hours Later...


Jacob arrived at his friends house, and walked through the door. "Hey! Whats up dude?" Jacob said to his friend. "Oh, jeez! You scared me." Shadowtails owner James said in surprise.

"My bad. Where are these kittens you were talking about? I'm excited to have a furry friend in the house finally! That's what I moved into my apartment for!" Jacob said joyfully.

James showed his friend the kittens and let him play with them for a while. "Oh, hey do want a drink or some food or anything?" James asked. "I could go for a Sprite if you have any." Jacob responded, still cooing to the kittens.

"Okay then. Do you want any ice?" James questioned. "Um..." Jacob trailed off, not paying attention anymore. "Whatever. I'll just get you a glass."

He went and poured some soda for them both and then came back and started chatting with his friend about the cats.

"So," James said, taking a sip of his drink. 

"Do you think your gonna take one?"

"Yes. I've been watching all of their different behaviors and I think that little calico looking one is perfect for my house. She is feisty but also she can be kind and a bit more relaxed. I'll take her." 

He gestured directly at Shadowtail.

"Raven?" James asked.

"Yeah. I'm going to rename her actually, even though that's a cool name. I'm thinking maybe something that starts with the letter 'N'. Maybe Nacho." Jacob thought out loud.

James burst out laughing and spilled a bit of his drink on the rug.

Shadowtail looked at the Two-Legs with a disgruntled expression on her face, ears going back a bit.

"You are seriously going to name that cat Nacho? You might well name her Garfield. That's a horrible name. What about..." James thought for a moment.

"What about Nori? Or Nickel? Literally anything other than 'Nacho'. It has to have a connection to you, like how her mother is named Sage after my favorite herb." James said, trying not to choke on a held in laugh over his friends bad choices.

"I think I'll name her Nona after my grandmothers middle name. That's a bit more dignified then Nacho." Jacob decided.

"Oh that's a great name dude! So you'll take her then? Do you want any of the others?"

James looked at the fluffy young kitten, now named Nona.

She got up and nuzzled into the new Two-Legs' leg and clambered onto his lap, feeling sleepy.

"I'll just take her for now. Thanks for the Sprite by the way." Jacob looked down at the now sleeping cat and got up, Nona cradled in his arms.

Shadowtail woke up and then realized how far she was from the ground. She mewed in a terrified tone, and crawled onto Jacobs back and accidentally fell and landed in his hood.

"Is she okay?!" Jacob said loudly.

"Oh my god you should see this right now. She fell into your hoodies hood! Shes just chilling in there." James chuckled.

"Oh good." Jacob said with relief.

James stared at the kitten and then finished chatting with his friend, and once Jacob had paid for his new cat, he left.

"Good bye, mother! I'll miss you!" Shadowtail meowed as she was carried away.

"I love you little one! I will see you again very soon." Her mother replied sadly.


That is what happened when I first got taken in by my kind new owner. Then after we got to the house things started to change a bit...
