Venice looked up from the book he was reading when he heard a familiar meow coming from the garden.

"Oh... hello" he smiled at the cat who was walking towards him and when it was at the swing bench Venice was sitting on the cat and gracefully jumped up on it.

"Hi" Venice said again and petted the animals who eagerly leaned into his touch.

"You know you don't have to run away everytime someone else is about to show up, right?" Venice informed the cat who tends to disappear whenever it hears someone coming closer. Vegas, Pete and Macau as well started to joke that Venice probably just created an imaginary friend since no one but Venice was lucky enough to even catch a glimpse of the cat.

"They are all really nice so you don't have to be scared of them" he added while putting the book aside when the cat decided to make himself comfortable on Venice's lap.

"Are you hungry?" He asked and when the cat meowed at hearing that he repositioned the cat so he could press him against his chest while standing up and going inside.

"Wait here" Venice said and placed the cat on the floor in the kitchen before he went to pour a little bit of cat food in a bowl.

Venice asked if Pete and Vegas could maybe buy a small bag of cat food so when the cat shows up Venice cat feed it.

Vegas and Pete, despite doubting the existence of the said cat, had no problem with a small bag of cat food being in the back of one of the cupboards in their kitchen.

"I'll get you some water as well" Venice said when he placed the food in front of the cat who eagerly started emptying the bowl.

"Do they not feed you at home?" Venice wondered when the cat seemed to be quite hungry every time he showed up at Venice's house.

"And I am telling you that you are so wrong it's not even funny, babe" Macau was heard from the hallway.

"No I am not. I am telling you that..." Chay was replying but he stopped when he and Macau, holding hands as always of course, walked in the kitchen and saw the cat.

"I told you that he's real" Venice smirked while placing the bowl with water near the cat.

"Aww... he's cute" Chay cooed and squeezed Macau's hand in excitement caused by seeing the cute animal and looked at his boyfriend who had his phone in his hand and with a smile on his face was gathering evidence of the cat's existence to show it to Vegas and Pete later.

"Small fella, isn't he?" Macau noted while looking at the cat.

"Don't size shame him" Chay scolded him playfully and they both laughed shortly. "Looks like he's still a kitten" Chay said when he looked back at the cat who seemed more focused on the food rather than on the people in the room.

"Hungry kitten" Macau noticed.

"He always seems to be" Venice said, a little bit concerned.

"Do you think maybe he's a stray cat?" Chay looked at Macau.

"Might be, I don't know" Macau shrugged.

"Hey how about we... oh... what do we have here?" Vegas, followed by Pete, walked in the room and noticed the cat there.

"Aww... Vegas, look how cute he is!" Pete gasped in delight when he saw the animal.

"I guess I didn't have to sneakily get actual proof of this thing's existence then" Macau noted when he saw that the pictures he took might not even be needed.

"Chay thinks that he's a stray cat" Venice looked at Vegas and Pete who had his phone in his hand to take cute pictures of the cute cat.

"Stray? You think?" Vegas looked from Venice to Chay and back.
