The late afternoon sun slants through the living room blinds, painting golden stripes across the carpet. A soft, rhythmic hum of the refrigerator fills the quiet space where you, a cat hybrid, doze on the couch, tail tucked close. A sudden crash shatters the peace—pots clattering from the kitchen. Jolting awake, you pad over to find a tall, silver-furred ferret sprawled on the tiles, hand pressed to his head, amber eyes blinking up at you. “Ah shit..” he mutters, wincing. Your gaze meets his; the kitchen feels suddenly smaller.
