"Make that two," I say, not leaving her gaze. A minute later he places the drinks in front of us, her hand immediately reaching out to bring it to her lips. "Katherine," she says after taking a slow sip, "but my friends call me Kat." "Adam, but everyone calls me Emilio."

She notices, and again raises an eyebrow.

Quiet, intent, like he was trying to solve something he couldn’t quite reach. The clinic helped at first. Animals were useful that way — they demanded presence, attention, practicality. A nervous golden retriever with separation anxiety did not care about emotional complications inside billionaire marriages. Neither did the aggressively offended cat that tried to attack Ada before nine in the morning. “You know,” Ada said while adjusting her gloves, “sometimes I think cats can sense weakness.” “I think this one can sense joy and wants to destroy it.” Ada snorted. For a while the normalcy worked — appointments, medication charts, phone calls, fur everywhere, controlled chaos. I almost relaxed

“We’ll talk about it later, baby. You know we can’t have a cat because -” “But I want a cat!” Her lips trembled, verging a loud cry. I lifted my hand, hoping to wipe the tears on her cheeks, but she turned around, stomping her feet and crying as she ran to Callahan. Rosie groaned, following her sister. “Cotton’s a good name,” Bernard shrugged. “I have a cat. His name’s Pepper,” he blabbered, curving his lips into a smile in this awkward situation. “I have a cat, too,” Bethany beamed. “Its name is Marcus,” she joked, anchoring her arm on his. “Beer?”

Riley muttered, folding her arms. Suddenly, Armani stepped forward. “Today, my brothers and I will be sending some Wild Cats on a mission,” he announced. Riley’s eyes lit up as she listened closely. “This mission isn’t particularly difficult,” Armani continued. “So the Wild Cats selected will be those ranked from the bottom—numbers one hundred to ninety.” Riley smiled. “I’m ranked one hundred,” she said a little too loudly. “So I’ll be going.” The hall went silent. Everyone turned to stare at her—most of them glaring, confused by her obvious excitement.

(Madam Reanga) A new customer, Madam Reanga comes and placed her order, which Old Mento went straight to prepare them.

Isaac was pretty sure that none of the wedding invitations mentioned pets being able to come, but Anni was cat-obsessed and never left that animal's side. The Marchianos pulled up where they had pulled over, and in so doing, Anni's cat jumped off her arms and leaped across the aisle, pursuing God knows what and nearly knocking Lorenzo over. "For the love of.!" Lorenzo grumbled with a scowl at the creature. "I see you still haven't managed to get rid of Anni's floofball," Vincent Danza said chuckling. "Having pets," Lorenzo grumbled, "is like belonging to the Mafia. You get in, and there's no getting fucking out."

He bundled up my three sleeping cats in one go and flung open the window, ready to toss them out. Quick as lightning, I stepped in front of him, blocking his move. "Dominic, what are you doing? I raised them!" He exploded on the spot. "Haven't you heard the notice? The apocalypse starts in twenty-four hours! You expect these blind, crippled cats to protect you?" I planted myself firmly in front of the window, refusing to budge. When brute force didn't work, he tried persuasion. "Scarlett, listen to me. Kill these useless cats, and we'd have six slots. Then we could raise more beasts. We'd be invincible."

"It's better he does it out here than by throwing your silver decorations at my face." Matteo looked out at his nephew, his features completely still. "Julian told me you spent the morning organizing the laundry room for those animals." "They're cats, Mr. Alcantara. They have names," I corrected him, pulling my legs up onto the bench and crossing them. "The orange one is Nacho, the gray one is Smokey, and the little chaotic one is Biscuit.

“Come out, Rice Ball. It’s wrong to scratch people, you know? Come out quickly.” Rice Ball seemed to be terrified. It stared back at Arianne, unwilling to move at all. “Do animals even understand human language? Are you honestly treating it as a real child? I heard that it’s a very aggressive stray cat. Since it scratched me, it will probably scratch Mark one day and end up getting thrown out of this house!”
