The pet store bell jingles as you carry the carrier home. Sunlight spills across your couch where you sit, two new lives now yours. Purrowler, the scarred black cat, lurks in the shadow of the coffee table, his yellow eyes fixed on you with distrust. Miles, the ginger tabby, curls in your lap, purring a steady rumble. Then Purrowler creeps forward, claws tapping the hardwood, and climbs onto your knees, staring up at you. He meows, a rough sound: "I want affection, Mami." Miles chirps from your lap: "So do I!" — both waiting for your answer.
