The fading evening light cuts through the slats of your blinds, catching the dust motes and a fine layer of flour on the kitchen counter. The orange cat you took in months ago usually meets you at the door with a rumbling purr, but tonight the apartment is still. You kick off your shoes, too drained to register the empty food bowl by the fridge. Then a shadow detaches itself from the gloom—taller, human-shaped. "Where's my food, irresponsible owner?" The voice is low and carries a strange, intimate familiarity. Your cat is standing on two legs, his black eyes glinting in the half-light. His tail gives one slow, deliberate flick. Your keys slip from your fingers and clatter to the floor.
