'Thoughts'

~'Kitten talking'~ just sounds like meowing to everyone around him.

(Kitten POV)

The kitten purrs contently as a warm hand scratches behind his ear and rubs under his chin. He leans into the touch encouraging the owner of the hand not to stop. It feels so good that his chest continues to let out a low rumble.

~'Mine'~ He purrs and rolls over onto his stomach. This red-headed giant was now his, and no one else could have him. That hand was his now and had to keep going because it belongs to him.

"No, it can't be him." The red-headed giant said and stops petting him to look at his copy.

He will call that one Red Giant #2, he looks like red-headed giant but he isn't 'cuz he is sitting on this one and the other one is over there.

The little bundle of black fur shifts in my giant's lap. And he mewls in complaint when the warm hand stops stroking.

~'No stop, feel good'~ He mews and rubs his head against the stilled hand. But Red Giant is still ignoring him. He needs to get closer then he can't ignore him.

He puts his front paws on the large chest in front of him and tries to get as close to his giant's face. Since he is only a kitten he can only reach not even half way up giant's chest.

~'He see me now. No ignore me'~ Red Giant looks down at him and scratches behind his ear. Again he leans into the hand and starts to purr. He leans further into the amazing touch and loses his balance and tumbles off the lap.

"Can't be him. It looks and acts like and ordinary kitten." One of the giants says but he ignores them since they ignored him.

~'What that? Oh no it running away. '~ He thinks when he sees something move in the corner of his eye. He chases quickly after it before it can escape from him.

"Harry wouldn't act like this."

"Well he didn't say anything about having a pet."

"He didn't tell us what goes on when he goes home either."

"A pet and potentially being abused are two completely different thing."

The kitten dashes under the bed after its unsuspecting prey, and pounces on it. He lifts his paw to see his prize but it's gone. ~'Where go?'~ He looks around for a hiding place it may have gone but finds nothing. He sneezes when he gets dust up his nose and tumbles over again.

"What about the clothes?"

"He could have changed out of them before they left and just didn't have time to clean them up."

"I guess that could have happened." Silence "Where did it go?"

~*Toy? I find 'nother toy'~ He notices something dangling a few feet from him. It's just waiting to be pounced on. Slowly, he move forward so it doesn't run away too. Once he gets close enough he pounces on it grabbing the long, thin toy in his mouth.

"Th-that answer your question?" Red Giant #2 laughs at his Giant. The kitten releases the shoelace in favor of hissing at the Meany laughing at his Giant. "And he is protective, how sweet."

Red Giant #2 keeps laughing and he doesn't like it at all. He has no right to laugh at his Giant like that. The kitten hisses for a little longer and then turns his back to The Mean One and looks up at his Giant with big pleading green eyes. His Giant just sighs and picks him up. He holds him in two cupped hands easily.
