Kittens and Cats (F.JessexPetra)

Side note: I just visited the pet shop and saw two kittens playing with each other. ☺️ So cute.

(This is my first time trying in this point of view, so please bear with my grammatical errors if there are any, or if I happen to slip back into first person) 😂☺️

Petra 🐱

The day the new kitten arrived, Petra was the only one left, waiting to be bought by anyone who visited the pet shop. So Petra was snoozing in a patch of sunlight, which came streaming through the massive windows of the shop. She didn't even stir when the door opened with a loud bell. She didn't move when the manager started talking loudly to someone behind the cashier.

But she did wake up when she smelt food. Opening one dark brown eye, Petra yawned and stretched, fluffing herself all over. "I can see that you keep a lot of animals around here. Would you mind-?" the customer was saying as Petra washed herself with her little golden tabby paws.

Petra was a golden-brown kitten, a tabby. Which was brought into the shop ages ago, but no one wanted to adopt her because.. well, who knows why? Maybe because Petra had the habit of clawing anyone who picked her up. Looking up at the gigantic human which took care of her, Petra meowed loudly, trying to get his attention.

"Shhh Petra. Let me take care of this for awhile." her owner, the manager of this shop, told her. She frowned, still meowing loudly. She was hungry! Why didn't he want to talk to her today? "Mew!" Petra said, clawing at her owner's jeans as he talked to a customer.

"Alright alright." Jesse said, picking Petra up gently. He was the only one who she trusted, since he had saved her many weeks ago. "So I hope it won't be any trouble." the customer was saying as Jesse stroked Petra's fur, making her purr loudly. Humans are weird, they exchange papers for things, Petra thought, as she watched Jesse take a cardboard box from the woman.

"Bye!" Jesse called when the door closed softly behind the woman."Ready to meet your new friend?" Jesse asked softly, looking down at Petra, who was washing herself. "Well, I know you already have Shelbi," Jesse glanced at the turtle, who was sunning itself at the window.

"And Winslow." A little calico coloured cat padded into the room, looking smugly at Petra. He probably raided the cat food again. Petra hissed softly at him as Winslow jumped onto the shelf to take a nap. "Now there's gonna be a new cat. Named..." Jesse reached into the cardboard box and brought out...

Petra tilted her head a little, examining the newcomer. "Mew." the kitten said, looking at Petra was interest as well. The newcomer had the biggest green eyes Petra has ever seen and a black coat of fur. Petra looked up at Jesse, confused. "Meet Jess. She's only a few weeks younger than you." Jesse stroked Jess, who mewed again.

Petra mewed back. Jesse watched the two kittens exchange meows. Petra looked up at Jesse again. "You want me to befriend this tiny thing?" Petra seemed to ask. Jess took a few wobbly steps towards Petra, who raised her fur a little, warning the newcomer.

Jess stopped, knowing exactly what the orange tabby was trying to say. Jesse got ready to pull the kittens apart, in case they disliked each other. Petra had never experienced meeting a black cat before, so maybe she was a bit confused. "Hello.!" someone sang, ringing the bell at the counter.

"Coming!" Jesse patted both kittens and left the two of them alone. Petra sniffed at Jess, who looked around the room curiously. Suddenly, the table rocked a little, sending Jess stumbling. Petra looked down to see Winslow head butting the table and rubbing himself all over the table leg. "Meow!" Petra scolded him.

Winslow hissed, looking up at the two kittens. Looking back at Jess, Petra decided to take Jess under her care, to teach her. Petra was a little bigger than Jess, so taking Jess by the scruff of her neck, Petra carried Jess down the wooden stairs Jesse had built.

After placing Jess in her own bed, Petra  stood guard over the tiny thing, who had somehow immediately fallen asleep. The poor thing was probably tired after a long day. Petra stared at the little kitten and kept watch.

************************

Something stirred in the dead of the night, making Petra wake up. Blinking in the darkness, she immediately looked for Jess, who looked back at her, her green eyes flashing.

There was a rattle, and a sudden click of the door. Was it a human? Petra glanced at Jess, who looked back at her nervously. Petra silently crept up the stairs, going straight for Jesse's room. Something wasn't right so maybe she had to call Jesse. Was it a customer?

Nudging the door of Jesse's bedroom door open, Petra climbed onto his bed, trying to wake him up. "Mew." Petra said, rubbing herself against Jesse's face. "W-what? Petra?" Jesse took hold of Petra as she looked at him with a worried expression. Jesse was rather good at reading expressions on animals, so he knew what was wrong.

Without a word, he carried Petra in one hand and a baseball bat in the other. However, there was a sharp meow, making Petra startle. It sounded like Jess was in trouble. Petra struggled out of Jesse's hand and fell to the floor. Like all cats, she landed on her feet, but it shocked her a lot, since she had never fallen from so high up before.

Quickly running down the stairs, she saw Jess facing the robber, who was trying to step on Jess. Petra meowed loudly as Jesse tried to disarm the robber. Petra pushed Jess out of the way, nearly getting stepped on.

Petra looked at Jess, who mewed up at her. "Gotcha!" Jesse exclaimed, pinning the guy onto the floor, one hand on a baseball bat and a phone in his hand. Petra however, grew to love her new friend.

Jess purred, nuzzling against Petra as she took care of her.
