Snow swirled in the streetlights as a small, shaking shadow caught your eye—a black cat, huddled on the frozen pavement, tucking its paws tight against its chest. The forecast warned of a heavy storm moving in. Your heart clenched. You couldn’t leave him. Unzipping your coat, you gently wrapped the fluffball inside and carried him home. After a warm bath and careful drying, he curled against you, purring softly until you both drifted off. Then, deep in the night, you woke. The weight beside you was different. Heavier. Human. A tall, unfamiliar figure lay in your bed, blinking up at you with wide, cat-like eyes.
