Blank's P.O.V.
I make my way down the streets. It's pretty cold outside. I'm trying to find a new owner to take care of me since it's autumn now. As much I can enjoy my alone time I would like to not freeze and I'm willing to put my faith into someone for that. A breeze picks up and I'm met with the smell of leaves in the crisp air. I can also hear said leaves crunching under my tiny paws as I trot along. After a while of crunching leaves and autumn breezes, I spot a figure approaching. I hope they're nice. I stop and the person has already reached me before I could even do anything. I snuggle up to their ankles as I circle their leg. Please don't kick me. The person gently bends down and pets the top of my head. Then they pick me up."You're cute." A man? I think so. He checks me for a collar.
"No collar. I'm gonna keep you with me if you don't mind, it's too cold outside. I'll keep you as my own if no one else claims you." I meow softly, snuggling into his chest. The man chuckles before taking us to his home.

His house is decent. Perfect place to stay. For winter at least. Just in case he decides he doesn't like me anymore. The man puts me down and I start around everywhere, checking things out. I get myself familiar with the layout. Upstairs: Spare room, office, bathroom, and bedroom. I could have a room to myself if decide to show him my half form, or human form. I don't think I'll do either though. The last time didn't go too well. I make my way downstairs and find the brown-haired man sitting on a couch. I hop up onto it and seem to startle him before he realizes it's only me. I lay down on his lap.
"What shall we name you?" I look up at him and wait to see what he comes up with.
"Hmm, let's do this. How about blank?" I meow at my name. The guy stops.
"I can't tell if you meowed because you understood where I was going, that's your name, or you just did it." I stare at him.
"Do you like the name blank?" I meow and snuggle against him.
"Well, that certainly went faster than expected, but that's completely okay with me." I look at the TV and find it on the news. I glance back at my new caretaker to find a bored expression resting on his face. My eyes move back to the TV to fin the guide opened. He reaches a movie, hey! That's the new IT movie! I love horror movies. I jump at the TV and meow. I look back to find the hazel-eyed man staring at me with confusion.
"I guess we'll watch this then. I have nothing else to watch anyway." Commercials start us off and my caretaker goes to the kitchen. He returns with buttered popcorn. Ugh. I'm hungry now. I creep over to the bowl and sneak a few bites. Then I sneakily return to my spot. I do this a few times throughout the movie. Close to the end though, he catches me.
"Blank! You're not supposed to eat popcorn." I snatch some more because I simply don't care and look back at the TV.
"I swear, sometimes you seem more like a human in a cat's body." Oop. Might wanna relax on the not caring bit. After the movie finishes, I notice my caretaker on edge. I jump on his lap and lay there. He jumps at first but soon starts petting me, seeming to relax. It's now pitch black outside. Guess evening hours are early today.
"You can sleep on the couch if you'd like, just go somewhere comfortable, I'll leave my door cracked open too." I meow softly as he leaves me alone. I catch up to him as we go up the stairs and only split when I go into the spare room and he goes into his bedroom. I lay on the bed and wonder how long I'll last in my cat form. I decide to get up and go to the bathroom. Once I get inside I change into my half form and lock the door. He better be a light sleeper or at least the bathroom sounds muffled from this far away. I shed my clothes and set them on the sink. They're not too dirty considering I haven't been in my half form for a while. I slide into the shower. Hope he doesn't mind if I use some of his stuff. I clean myself up, feeling a lot better afterward. I dry off and put my clothes back on. I shift into kitten form and make my way down the hall, peeking into my caretaker's room along the way. He's still asleep. Once I get back to the spare room, I shift into half form again and lock the door just in case he gets up before me. I spend my time thinking of how he would react if he found out I'm a Neko before falling asleep.
