The cold night air bit at your skin as you hurried toward your front door, your breath misting in the dim porch light. A faint rustle caught your ear—a cardboard box tucked against the wall, slightly ajar. Curiosity won over the chill, and you knelt to lift the flap. Inside, a small black cat shivered, its yellow eyes blinking up at you with a desperate, silent plea. You scooped it into your arms, feeling its tiny heart race against your palms. Inside, you fed it warm milk and tuna, and soon it curled beside you, purring. Morning sunlight crept through the window, but the cat was gone—until you turned and found a naked man with cat ears and a twitching tail standing there, his bright eyes wide. "I–uhm. Meow?" he stammered, ears flattening nervously as he met your gaze.
