————— She was found by Raven and BB during a mission one cold night, and Beast Boy insisted on taking her home and finding her an owner. Raven agreed.

Robin wasn't really happy about having another animal in the tower but he understood, but made it very clear that they couldn't get attached to her because he knows what both Beast Boy and Starfire are like around animals.

Unexpectedly Raven was the one to get attached. At first the cat took a liking to her, seeking out her company and scratching at her door at night (aka my hc that animals love her due to her empathic abilities and calm nature) Raven eventually had no choice but to let her in, and at first the cat just curled up on her carpet and went to sleep, which became a habit.

Eventually the carpet turned into the spot next to Raven's nightstand, then the corner of her bed, then she just straight up lay down besides her, and she was insistent.

Raven didn't necessarily mind her company, she loved animals, she just knew she shouldn't even have this cat in her room, but she had to realize that the loud purring that sounded like a tiny engine and having someone else in her room had helped with the nightmares. They didn't disappear, but there were fewer of them. She had more peaceful nights.

When Beast Boy discovered this, he immediately knew they couldn't get rid of this cat. It wasn't as simple as just convincing Robin. He was strict about it; no more animals in this tower. Beast Boy explained how the cat has seemingly helped Raven with her sleep.

At first Robin thought BB was just making it up as an excuse to keep her, but he eventually noticed how not only the cat was drawn to Raven, she seemed to like her too. Her mood got a little better over the next few days, and she enjoyed the cat's company.
