inexplicable kitten of doom

[alexdraven]

othercat requested drabbles based off one of her icons. I have never in my life had a drabble fall out naturally to 100 words, but this one did.

Ficlet to anyone who can spot which one of my characters is talking to Izzy ;)



"Hi!"

"Izzy?"

"Yes?"

"Why are you holding a kitten?"

"Oh – so he's not yours then?"

"No – why would it be?"

"Only he's been curled up by your door all day – I saw him when I went out earlier and … I just thought maybe he'd slipped out our something. He can't exactly ring the buzzer can he? Such a tiny little thing, aren’t you darling?"

"Izzy please – it's a cat not a hand puppet. And it's definitely not mine. You know as well as I do that Bernie would go ape if any of us tried to keep pets here."
