"Okay!" Clapping her hands together, Pen points to Catlastor and hissed a breath. "Now what the heck am I going to do with you..."
Catlastor tilts his head, grinning.
Curiously Pen held a hand for the felines to sniff and couldn't help but "aww" as he immediately began to rub his head against her hand. She began to scratch at his ear and giggled as he flopped into a purring red heap.
"Dear lord your so cute...!" She resisted the urge to grab the cat to cuddle, because if he was anything like Alastor and most cats, forcing affections were a big no, no.
Her thoughts were interrupted by a growl.
Looking at the heap on the floor, she heard the sound again and realized that the sound came from Catlastor's stomach.
"Hungry?" What is she going to feed him exactly?
Catlastor stretched, plopping into a loaf, he stared up at her expectantly.
Grabbing her sketch book, she drew a couple of stick figures, within seconds of being finished, the ink began to wobble and the drawings began to drag themselves out. Standing at attention, the 3 minions stared up their master awaiting orders.
"...What do you even eat?" Her only response was a Cheshire grin.

Catlastor looked to the bowl of hells equivalent of cat kibble and his face scrunched up in disgust.
Pen scratched her head in confusion, "But KeeKee loves this stuff, HellCat's foods never failed Charlie..."
Catlastor huffed and looked up to her while his tummy continued to growl.
Pen sent the three minions out for more options.

After the burning out of the entirety of hells pet food options Pen decided to make the smart choice of just making his food herself. While alive Pen couldn't afford any kind of pet besides a random spider on her window sill outside but knew the basics of pet care.
"Stay here," Pen petted Catlastor on the head as he closed his eyes in content. "I'll be back soon, so be good okay?"
He meowed but tied to follow when she tried to leave.
"No, stay here, okay? The minions will keep you company." At this the three saluted, one of which got slapped.
The cat stared up at her unimpressed.
Pen left, on her bed Catlastor stared down at the three ink figures.
"..." He waited five seconds before giving them an evil grin, his figure was enveloped in shadow and disappearing.
The three figures looked to the empty space for a few minutes before looking at one another.
They began tearing the room apart looking for their charge.

Downstairs, Pen didn't notice the shadow following her into the kitchen.
Opening the fridge, Pen peered in and made a mental note do some shopping later. Grabbing some mystery meat (probably hell's equivalent of beef) she shut the fridge-!
"AGHHHHH!!!!" Pen jumped at least 3 feet in the air as Alastor appeared out of no where with a... video camera?
"And our other only resident is the lovely Miss.Pen!" Pen tried desperately to lean as far away as possible, using the slab of meat as a useless shield as he continued, "She's as talented as they come, with the ability to turn fifty shades of red! Wowww!!!"
Pen felt like passing out with the amount of blood rushing to her face.
Noticing him having trouble with the features on the camera, she numbly pressed on the stop button.
"Thank you my dear," Looking at the in disgust, he tisked. "I will never understand why the commercial must be on that annoying picture box!"
Pen couldn't do anything besides nod.
"Now," Looking at her curiously, Alastor tilted his head and leaned down closer with his ears flickering. "Surprised to see you up at this hour," it was earths equivalent to being 5 in the morning, "Do you require some assistance dear?"
"N-no..?" Her voice was meek, "I'm okay, thank you Alastor."
Nearby a shadowy figure materialized and Catlastor appeared behind Alastor on top of a cabinet, seeing the man, the Cat's ears flattened before his hairs began to raise on end. Pen paled.
"Something the matter?"
"No!"
"..."
"..." Even Alastor was surprised, this was the first time he had ever heard her voice glitched out like that.
Pen was quiet for a minute. "Sorry about that..." spying Catlastor hopping from the cabinet to a cup on the table, she felt her heart stop as he looked her dead in the eyes and raised a paw towards it.
Oh please no-!
CRASH!
Wiping his head around, Alastor stared at the broken cup on the floor and noticed that it was his favorite "Oh deer <3" mug.
"Well that was strange," he hummed, relaxed but Pen knew better, his ears were on high alert. "How unfortunate."
With a snap of his fingers, his own doll minions began to clean up the mess. Turning back to her, he tilted his head and stared for a moment. Pen tried her best to appear normal and not panic as Alastor's own shadow skimmed past the corner the trouble maker was hiding in before returning, both grinning down at her.
"Well! Take care dear" Leaving, the radio demon stopped in the door way, turning to her, he chuckled. "Be sure to let me know if anything troubling you comes up, I'll be more than happy to assist~!"
"W-will do!" Her voice cracked.
The moment he was gone, Catlastor appeared in-front of her on the floor, grinning. Pen puffed her cheeks out in annoyance.
"Why did you do that?" She hissed quietly, looking around nervously."You might not be able to stay with me if you get caught!"
How was she going to explain this to Charlie?! Oh hey I drew the residents Overlord as a cat, can I keep him???
Charlie might actually be easier to convince than Vaggie actually.
The cat tilted his head, eyeballing the bag of raw meat in hand.
Cleaned and chopped up, Pen turned her back for one minute to turn on the stove and looking back to grab said meat felt her hand hit empty air.
She turned to the empty plate and then to Catlastor who burped.
"Damn... okay," she had no words left to say
