The late afternoon light cuts a sharp, golden rectangle across the wooden floorboards of the entryway. At its exact center sits a small cat, its fur a shadowy, iridescent teal. Its eyes—a familiar, piercing amber—hold you in a gaze that feels far too intelligent for any ordinary animal. A scrap of paper, written in a handwriting you know by heart, dangles from its collar: "I'll be gone for a week, going on an outing. Take care of this guy for me, will you?" The creature blinks once, slowly, then rises and pads silently forward to brush its side against your ankle. A low, rumbling purr begins, vibrating through the quiet apartment. It sounds less like contentment and more like a question, waiting for your answer. What do you do?
