Luna's first night home (Grace's POV)
Everyone is looking at me while I'm walking home because of baby Luna. She's meowing inside of her carrier, probably scared because she doesn't really know who I am and where I'm taking her. I can't wait to get home so she can settle soon.
"Ok, little one. Let's get you outside of the carrier. Look! This is your new home!"
My excited tone doesn't seem to impress Luna much and after looking around, she runs to the sofa and hides underneath it.
"No! Luna! No! Come on. Get out. I'll give you food".
But no matter how much I try, she doesn't leave her hiding spot so I get everything ready for when she does. I put some food in the bowl and get her some fresh water. And I get the litter box ready, hoping she actually uses it and I don't have to clean any "accidents" tomorrow.
I eventually fall asleep on the sofa, waiting for her to get out and wake up to the sound of scratching.
"What is that...Luna!"
I get up quickly to stop her from scratching one of my most expensive bags. But I see the little scratch marks.
"Noooo".
Luna stares at me and I guess she at least isn't running away again. She starts to move and I see she's going to the litter box. Good girl, the scratches were a bad enough start of the day.
"Oh Luni. I'll have to make sure I hide everything valuable so you don't destroy it. What did this poor bag do to you?"
She keeps staring at me and then meows.
"Yeah, you're worth more than a bag. I know. Let's get you some breakfast".
Luna follows me to the kitchen, often jumping at any noise she doesn't recognise and I chuckle.
"Ok, we have duck, chicken, salmon, liver...yuck! Good thing it's you eating this and not me".
I put the cans of food on the floor and she smells them, also rubbing her head on them sometimes. She's too adorable. And then kicks on of them, and because I'm a cat mum now, I'll pretend that was her telling me she chooses that flavour...liver. Of course.
"I mean, if you like it...".
As the days pass, Luna becomes more comfortable when I'm around. And then one day I wake up and notice a weight on my legs. When I sit up, I see it's her. First time she sleeps in the bed with me but I hope not the last. It feels really nice to wake up and see something that puts a smile on my face.
