Ash and I enter the building with our food

Ash and I enter the building with our food. In the entrance there are shirts, hats, mugs, stickers, pens and more with wingless cat designs on them.

In the back there's a clear door to another room which looks bigger. It contains tables, toys, couches, cat food and water, and a bunch of wingless cats.

"Hi, welcome to the Cat Cafe! Feel free to grab a cup of coffee and head in. If you'd like to make any donations, there's a box inside." A lady beams behind the counter.

I walk into the back room and see a few other people there with the babies.

By babies I mean cats.

"That's brutal."

"Maybe they don't have wings in the human world?" I whisper.

"That would make more sense. What kind of people would let a business with wingless cats run in public right?" He asks.

"Right."

I walk over and plop myself down on a couch. Ash follows my lead and sits next to me slowly while looking at the cats. A gray one makes itself over to us and bumps my leg with its head.

I squeal and see Ashton visibly flinch away from me. I place the food on his lap and bend down to grab the child.

"Hello you beautiful baby." I coo.

The cat meows at me in response, making me let out another squeal.

It's beautiful.

After a while of spending time in the cafe, more cats have made their way over to us. I petted them and gave them all a kiss on the forehead. They gave me head bumps and purrs.

The door opens up and I see Colby enter out of breath. He looks over at us. Ashton and I are now sitting on the floor with our legs spread out. The forgotten food in between us and a black cat with a white spot on his neck making it look like a tuxedo sits on Ash's shoulder while I'm holding a white cat with a black tail and black spots on its head, like a baby.

"Wha- I've- guys." Colby stutters and lets out a sigh. "I've been waiting for you both at the apartment and saw you never came back so I got worried."

"How'd you find us?" Ash asks.

"I saw you guys through the window."

"Look at this baby! His name is Rocky." I coo while rocking the cat like a baby.

Rocky purrs.

"Very cute Red, but we should go back now, we haven't had anything to eat since breakfast and- omg look at that one!" Colby points to a gray fluffy cat wrapped up on the couch.

He waddles over to it, kneels down to look at it as he sleeps, and gently begins to pet it.

"So soft." He murmurs.
