Snowball was not to be ignored.
The little fluffy kitty walked along her bare shoulder, leaning over her collarbone to peer into her face with big blue eyes.
"Miao?" He inquired politely, extending a tiny paw toward her face.
She wrinkled her nose.
Snowball merped impatiently.
She reached up and stroked his head. "Little kitty...so demanding..." She murmured, affectionately scratching behind his ears.
He leaned into her touch, closing his eyes briefly. After a moment, he opened his eyes again, and chirped at her.
He was such a sweet kitten. He always knew how to cheer her up. She smiled softly, and stroked his head again.
Octavian stirred next to her. He mumbled something in his sleep, and shifted slightly. She glanced at him, and found herself unable to keep from smiling at him.
