Tommy padded down the park cement path, heading towards the basketball court where he usually went.

He sneaked through the fence wire and onto the court, nimbly weaving through the people playing the sport. He quickly dodged the autumn leaves, and crouched under the park bench. 

The purse lay open carelessly, revealing the tip of some sort of dollar. Tommy internally snorted, this park was definitely the best pickpocket station.

He looked around, but no one seemed to be paying attention. Perfect. He hopped onto the bench and pawed at the money until it came out of the purse slightly, but enough for Tommy to grab it and speed away.

He made a dash for a tree nearby and quickly shifted, taking the cash from his lips and shoving it into his pants pocket while retreating the scene. 

"HEY! MY MONEY!" A man shouted, his voice fueled with anger.

Tommy swerved around the corner into the small alleyway, hastily climbing up the ladder on the side of the wall onto the roof. He looked back to see the top of a finger and promptly shifted again, skittering behind one of the bumpy things on the top of city roofs.

"Where the fuck..?" The man muttered, looking around. He stepped forward, but didn't see the small figure.

"Fuckin' prick, bitchass shit.." The man cursed, retreating down the ladder.

After confirming the man was gone, Tommy shifted back into human. He slid down the ladder, taking out the cash and counting it in the musty alley.

"20 euros.. fuck yes!" He silently cheered to himself.

He looked around and shifted back into a black cat with small orange spots, accompanied with a white underbelly that matched his white and red shirt. 

Tommy stayed along the walls of the old buildings of the sidewalk, occasionally threading through peoples feet and nipping at their pant legs for fun.

He was trotting along the street, some trash and shards scattered here and there. The cat stared at a peculiar window display, still walking along when..

FUCK! Tommy thought as he held his paw up. It hurt like hell, like he'd been stabbed. He winced as he stepped forward.

Okay, maybe no more walking. He realized. He limped over to the front step of, supposedly, an apartment and sat down.

Tommy didn't expect someone to open the door so quickly, and for the someone to gasp lightly and crouch next to Tommy. Welp, now he can't shift back, can he?

"Hello." The brunette with fluffy brown hair smiled and put out his hand. Tommy internally rolled his eyes, but acted like a cat and sniffed the strangers hand. He smelled of sea salt, for whatever reason.

"You must be tired, hm?" The stranger cooed, rubbing the cats head. Tommy was surprised by the touch, but invited it. Cat instincts took over, and soon the cat shifter was rubbing his head against the mans leg.

"What's wrong with your paw?" The man noticed and gently held the paw up a little, Tommy wincing at the sharp pain.

The man frowned and looked Tommy in the eyes. For a moment, Tommy thought he knew. But no, it was just.. an invitation?

"Would you like to come into the apartment? Your paw has a shard in it I believe, and it'd be easier to get out inside." The man said softly, then chuckled. "I'm talking to a cat. Stupid."

Tommy couldn't, but he sighed and jumped into the mans awaiting arms, surprising him.

"Oh, okay then." He stroked Tommys head softly. "You're very friendly, hm?" 

No I'm fuckin not. Tommy thought as he nuzzled his head into the mans warm coat arms as the two entered the apartment, escaping the crisp air of the outdoors.
