You took him home, deciding to keep the little cutie.

Albedo was a quiet kitty, though he was always looking around your house, getting into your cabinets, once he even got stuck under your kitchen sink.

He especially loves to watch you cook. To keep him off the counter while you're doing so, you pulled a spare chair so he can sit next to you and watch what you're doing. You like to narrate what you're doing during these times.

He also wants to sniff your food when you're done, and since he very rarely takes bites, you let him always sniff your first bite.

One time he swiped the bite off the fork though after his sniff. You thought it was because it was a shrimp based meal, but then he pushed your plate off the table and hissed at the mess.

He didn't eat it, and wouldn't let you eat it either. With a sigh, you made a fresh batch with a new bag of shrimp, cleaning up the mess.

Before you dumped the mess away, you checked the date on the first bag of shrimp.

Oh. It was a month out of date.

Albedo very nearly looked smug at having kept you from having a nasty case of food poisoning.

You gave him a hefty serving of the new batch as a reward.

Kaeya:

A dark gray cat who was missing his right eye. Long and lean, and with a very extroverted personality.

He had quite long fur, and his tail especially was very long.

You found him sitting on the streets in the rain, looking more than a little forlorn.

You brought him in and dried him off.

He leaned into your scrubbing, clearly touch starved.

after a few weeks?

Attention seeker of the year.

He doesn't watch you cook like Albedo, but he winds around your legs and screams at you instead.

You offer him samples to sniff as well, but then he tries to actually eat them regardless of what's in it.

You had friends over once, and one of them brought a bottle of wine for a celebration.

Kaeya sat himself in that friend's lap for the entire evening, watching you through one slit eye.

He was mocking you. He does that a lot.

But he's also a sweet boy.

Scared of thunderstorms. When one hits, he crawls under your blankets and stays there till the rain stops. but another bolt of thunder will send him scrambling back.

When your sick, he steals your heating pad.

His paws are quite cool to the touch no matter what.

Your slinky, sneaky baby.

Sucrose:

A small pale gray kitty, almost green if you catch her in the right light. Her golden eyes are soft, and very shy.

Sucrose came wandering by one day, and caught the attention of Albedo from the windowsill.

You came running when you heard him meowing, only to realize he wasn't hurt or mad.

You looked to see what he was meowing at, and accidentally frightened Sucrose. She took off running, and Albedo meowed again.

She came back the next day. And the day after. Everyday.

You began to leave the window open, and leave a small dish of food and water out for her as well.

One day, you come home from an errand, and find her curled up on the couch with Albedo and Kaeya.

Much like Albedo, she's curious and investigative.

Unlike him, however, the results can leave her fluffed up and spooked. If the pan sizzles loudly while she's watching you cook bacon, she'll run to the other end of the house.

But she'll come back soon. She always does.

If Kaeya comes on too strong with his affections, she'll bat him away gently or run away.

She really enjoys being held and cuddled.

Perfect lapcat size.

Your little baby.

Rosaria:

She's the biggest cat you own, and can be quite bossy, but mostly she just lays in a corner of the room.

Until the others drape themselves all over her.

She looks rather grumpy when this happens, but if you can get close to her, you'll catch a soft, harsh purring.

She's a light color as well, but more reddish in tone than Sucrose.

She's a fighter as well. You can't count how many times you've walked in on her beating Kaeya up in the living room.

She keeps her claws sheathed when she's inside.

You're not actually sure why Rosaria came to you.

She was initially a wild cat, but one day she came in through the same window that Sucrose likes.

Now she spends about an equal time between inside and out, always coming home for bedtime. Or dinner, depending.

You wish she'd stay home, but the last time you tried to keep her inside, she actually broke your window.

You can't afford for that to keep happening for months.

You do manage to get her to the vet for a tracking chip, so while you're at work you can keep an eye on her.

For a while, she brought you some... interesting gifts. When she noticed you didn't really like them, she stopped. Instead, she'd bring back leaves and flowers. One time, it was a single, fragile butterfly wing. You preserve these things that she brings you, it shows you that she does care about you, too.

One time, she woke you up in the dead of night with an aggressive hissing. You woke up to find her flinging herself off the bed and attacking something on the floor.

You turned on the light to reveal what she was attacking. A venomous snake had found it's way into your room. Before you could intervene, however, Rosaria finished it off.

Albedo carried the remnants out much to your dismay. You had to pry it from both him and Sucrose, and threw it out.

When you finally returned to bed, Rosaria curled up nex to you, and began audibly purring.

Mona:

Mona, a gorgeous black cat with pale green eyes, was an accidental acquisition in a different way.

You were at the pet store looking for toys and treats for your pack of kitties, and you passed by the cats up for adoption.

She sat tidily, her tail tucked around her paws. Her head was tilted slightly, and she was staring directly at you.

The attendant laughed. "Well that's a first. She usually ignores all the customers, and has been so disagreeable in general. It's like she wants to go home with you."

Thinking about your other cats, you mumbled, "Maybe she does."

You thought about her while you finished collecting all of your items, and finally, after a few minutes, returned to look at the mysterious kitty.

Her long fur caught the light in fascinating ways, making it look like a small galaxy was constantly shifting across her body.

She slow blinked at you, and you sighed. "I'll be right back."

You ran back to the cat supplies, and picked up a new food and water dish set, new color, and a few more things, most of them in navy blues or purples.

When you came back, she stood up, stretched, and started meowing.

You told the attendant that you'd like to adopt her, and they laughed again before responding that they'd be happy to help.

Mona waltzed into the cat carrier with ease, and when you brought her home, she waltzed right out.

Fairly quiet, though she seemed to know the weather changes an uncanny amount of time before they happened. When it was going to storm, she'd drag Kaeya to the bed so he could hide early.

If it was going to be a clear night, she'd wait by the window with the clearest view of the sky, just waiting for night to fall.

You'd decided after Mona you were done adopting strange cats.

The cats were happy with this.

They often all spent hours draped over each other on the sofa.

Rosaria and Mona fought a bit at first, but then somehow became really good friends.

Mona also gets along quite well with Kaeya.

Sucrose loves Mona, often following her around, almost as much as she follows Albedo.

No night is complete without your kitty cuddle puddle on the bed.
