The bathroom air hung thick with steam and the faint, electric hum of a vintage television. Mr Puzzles stood by the porcelain tub, his boxy head flickering with static, eyes asymmetrical and wide. “Come on you get into the bath! You went out in the rain and got all dirty!!” The cat darted across the tiles, a blur of fur and fear. Puzzles reached out, careful hands hovering, desperate to clean without crushing. Mud speckled the creature’s coat, a testament to the wild streets. “You have mud and dirt all over your fur! You can’t avoid a bath, you!!” The cat cornered itself, hiss vibrating in the small room. Trust warred with instinct.
