Age: 20

((We can start where Salem buys him.))

[Strega]

((kk))

Salem blinked as it registered he'd just bought a human. He looked at the other male and chewed on his lip lightly. His wife was never going to believe this one. He thought on that for a moment before looking again at him, "Well.... Are you hungry?"

[TailsNyne]

((I call him Kitty, for now.))

The pale, skinny boy looked out from the bars of his small cage. Hungry? It took him a few moments to connect the larger man's words with words in his vocbulary. Food? He meowed. He could speak, he just didn't know how.

[Strega]

Salem had paid the man after writing the check and looked at him, "Just nod or shake your head...." 'If it's possible in that cage......' he added mentally.

[TailsNyne]

He simply blinked blankly. "Oh ni. He stupid." The, uh, short stubby man mumbled. Kitty gave another blinked. Well, he wasn't stupid, just not familure with humans.

[Strega]

Ah, his wife was REALLY going to kill him. His kids might find it entertaining, at least. He shook his head, handing it to the man and once again looking at the man in the cage.

[TailsNyne]

"Water. Please." He mumbled before letting out several more meows. Of course, the cage was cramped and he could just barely move, but he knew better than to ask to be let out unless it was time to be let out.

[Strega]

Salem opened the door to the cage, not able to stand the sight of him in there, "Right... water in a minute when we get back to the hotel....." he sighed softly.

[TailsNyne]

Kitty, however, did not even attempt to crawl out the cage. He knew how that went. It wasn't time to be let out, meaning they wanted him to crawl out to stuck with another needle thing with the werid liquids and force feed him weird foods. He simply stared at Salem.

[Strega]

Salem blinked, "Come on." he motioned for him to get out. this might be harder then he thought as he realized the man wasn't going to move. He knelt down in front of the cage, "I'm not going to hurt you....."

[TailsNyne]

Kitty scooted back, well, tried to. It didn't work. He wasn't quiet sure what this man would do to him, yet. Several things ran through his mind as he continued to stare at the man.

[Strega]

Salem looked at the watch on his wrist with a sigh. At least he'd already dealt with the meeting he'd had, so the only thing that was bugging him was the hunger gnawing at his stomach, and that the girls were supposed to call in about ten minutes, "It can't be that comfortable in there, and you must be hungry. If you come out I'll buy you something to eat and you can stretch your legs."

[TailsNyne]

Another blink. Hesitantly, he peered his head out, looking around for the strange people in white coats. He was shaking as he crawled out, but only a little. Then he laid back down, resting his head on the ground and covering his golden yellow eyes with his hands. Two little black cat ears appeared from his hair, listening to the noise of all the people. He let out another frightened meow.

[Strega]

Salem blinked, seeing the ears. Maybe they were just.... somehow attached and moving... It wasn't possible that this man could actually somehow be tied DNA wise to cats. He continued to stared for a moment before softly touching the man's head, feeling much like he was comforting one of his daughters after they'd had a nightmare, "It's okay....."

[TailsNyne]

Kitty pushed his head back up against his hand. Oh yeah, that felt good. He was very rarely pet. He moved out the cage a little more, trying to move closer to the gentle hand. "Nice?"

[Strega]

Salem smiled softly at the reaction, "Yeah. Nice." he rubbed the spot between the man's cat ears. He wasn't sure if he wanted to touch them or not, or if the other would even allow it, "Still thirsty? We can get something to drink....."

[TailsNyne]

He gave a nod, looking up to the brown haired man. "Water." He was still a little weary of being out of his cage when it wasn't time, but, he was nice, right? His tail swung around and wrapped around his waist.

[Strega]

Salme nodded with a soft smile, "Alright. We'll get some food and water." and then he needed to get back to the hotel, "Follow me." he started to walk, keeping an eye on the man.

[TailsNyne]

However, he didn't move. He watched the other. He didn't, well, understand. The 'follow me' part. He knew what 'me' was, it was the 'follow'. It sounded a lot like hallow, which was what he had oftenly been called; 'Stupid, hallow headed creature'.

[Strega]

"Ummmm.... Let's see..." Salem rubbed his temples, "What's a synonym for follow....? Come with me...." he decided on, motioning for the other to keep in step, "So we can get food and water."

[TailsNyne]

Oh, he knew 'come'. Kitty rose once more, moving forward after the other. He could walk on his legs, like humans. Actually, he had trouble walking on all fours. It was akward. But he was 'punished', sprayed with water repeativily, if he didn't.

[Strega]

Salem felt stupid as he realized he hadn't learned his name, "Ah, what's your name? i'm Salem." he stayed at a sort of slow pace, not sure what a good pace was to walk at. He watched the other as they walked, though.

[TailsNyne]

Name? He looked up to him blankly. Did he even have one of those. "Stupid cat?" That was what the strange men usually called him. Of course, he didn't know that was an insult.

[Strega]

Salem cringed a little, "Aaaooo.... Um.... I'll give you a different one after we eat...." he sighed as he looked at the hotel and then his watch. He'd already missed the phone call. His wife was going to be furious. She was so moody when she was pregnant, he rather liked his buisness trips.

((If I disappear, I should be back later.))

[TailsNyne]

((Keis. ^^))

He nodded. Fine with him. He didn't exacally care all that much. He was still trying to figure out what was going on. None of this really made sense, unless 'Salem' was leading him to the vet. Like they did before.

[Strega]

"Anything in particular you like?" what ever it was, Salem was definately going to order it to go. he wasn't sure what the cat-eared man's table skills were like and wasn't sure he wanted to know quite yet. They could get the water from the hotel.

[TailsNyne]

"Frisky's Fish Party Flavor." A brand of catfood. He remembered reading it on the side of the bag whenever he was fed. He had never eaten anything else. There were a lot of things he'd never done.

[Strega]

"... That's.... cat food......" Salem blinked, looking at him, "What el-... Never mind. How does Tuna sound?" he shook his head, running a hand through his hair. Sometime in his teen years, he'd smoked, when he got married, that went away. he was trying to remember why he quit.

[TailsNyne]

Well, he thought he was a cat. So, he saw no probably with eating cat food. He did, however, know what tuna was. It was what he was given when he was being good. "We go to vet?" He was being way too nice.

[Strega]

"Ummmm... No..." salem shook his head. That would be an interesting story. He took the question as tuna sounded good. He thought about the places he could get it and rememebered he got free room service. Hopefully they had tuna.

[TailsNyne]

He looked up to him, curoisely. "Pound?" He had heard stories, from the other 'cats', that bad cats went to the pound. Had he been a bad cat? Was this man trying to lure him away to be put down?

[Strega]

Oh god, an even better story, "Definately no." Salem shook his head as they entered the hotel, "What the devil's got you thinking that for?" he couldn't help it, the way the other acted it was much like a child and he was missing the twins already.

[TailsNyne]

"Nice." He repeated from earlier. He was being way too nice. No one had ever been this nice to him without a reason, so he was still on edge. His knees were beginning to ache from 'walking'.

[Strega]

Salem shook his head, "Well, I bought you, I might as well take care of you...." he still couldn't believe what he'd done. Bought another human, how crazy. Not to mention the human thought he was a cat. He unlocked the door to the hotel room and held the door open for the cat-eared man, "In."

[TailsNyne]

((x] Wow. It goes: Do you live alone? No. I live with a man who thinks he's a cat. A cat? Yes a cat. Like meows and things? And eats cat food and lick his. . . Uh, yes. Meows.))

Again, he understood none of that. He trailed into the room, laying back down and flickering his ears back. He wasn't entirely sure what he was suppose to do now. And so, he covered his face with his hands again.

[Strega]

((roflmao! xD))

Salem shut the door and strolled to the phone, ordering tuna and pizza for himself. He thought for a moment after hanging up, and judging by the way the other man seemed to be acting, a bowl would be best for the water. He found something that could be used as a makeshift bowl and poured water into it, setting it in front of him, "..... I'm going to name you Lucky."

[TailsNyne]

((x3 I know, huh.))

"Lucky." He repeated before dipping his head into the bowl and lapping up some water. Again, he understood few words. Name and Lucky. Immedaitly, he became confused. Wasn't the man's name Salem? So, he wasn't stupid but he wasn't bright, either.

[Strega]

"You're Lucky. I'm Salem." Salem sighed sitting on his bed and dialing his home phone number. If he was lucky, they hadn't already left for the movies. Unfortunately, he wasn't and they were gone.

[TailsNyne]

"I'm lucky?" If anything, he seemed very unlucky. But, that could just be him. He trailed over toward the bed, looking up to Salem, wonderign what he was doing, of course.

[Strega]

salem hung up the phone after the second try and softly pet Lucky, as he'd dubbed him, softly in between the ears once more. He then called for the person who'd brought their food to just bring it in, which it was placed on the table and the maid left quickly.

[TailsNyne]

Lucky pushed his head up toward the hand. He liked to be pet. Clearly. So, maybe he wasn't that bad. So far, anyways. The minute he tried to haul him off to the vet, or the pound, or the lab, he was biting and growling, and scratching.

[Strega]

Salem continued to pet him, "Are you still hungry?" he asked quietly. He wasn't all that hungry himslf, and he was trying to figure out where Lucky was going to sleep, considering Salem didn't want him on the ground.

[TailsNyne]

"Food." Lucky responded, pulling himself up onto the bed, hoping he wouldn't get upset and spray him. He moved his head around under his hand, making sure Salem's hand was on his ear, the spot he seemed to be avoiding.

[Strega]

Salem moved momentarily, getting the tuna and sitting back down with it, his hand going back and petting Lucky where he wanted him to, at the base of the ear. He wasn't that hungry himself so he just decided to save the pizza.

[TailsNyne]

Tuna! Lucky immedaitly ducked his head down to begin eating. He rarely had tuna. He was happy to eat. Thou the possiability it was spiked entered his mind.

[Strega]

Salem of course hadn't put anything in it. He didn't watch Lucky eat, just let his hand return to his lap with a shake of his head. He was thinking crazy again. He hated it when his wife was pregnant, loved his children, but the constant 'what if's that ran through his wife's mind made for a very boring sex life, actually, it was a non-existant one. He shook his head, getting off of that thought process.

[TailsNyne]

Lucky glanced up at him with golden yellow eyes slightly. He wasn't quiet sure what that shake meant, so, just to be sure, he pulled away from the bowl, licking his lips. Was he not suppose to eat it?

[Strega]

Salem blinked, surprised, "Ah! Sorry, I was lost in my own little world." he smiled, "Go ahead, eat it." he hadn't meant for th other to stop eating. He was going to have to watch what he said and did.

[TailsNyne]

Lucky tilted his head to the side. Well, that certainly was odd. However, he leaned back down, going back to eatting. It was pretty nice not to have to eat dry food in a tight cage. That simply reminded him to be careful, uh, er.

[Strega]

Salem looked at the opposite wall and chewed a little on his lip, wondering just what he was going to do with Lucky. His wife would have a coniption and probably tell him he got to sleep on the couch for until after the baby's born, but the twins would adore the odd man. He rubbed his temples.

[TailsNyne]

Once he was done, Lucky licked his lips clean. He licked the back of his hand several times before wiping his ears off. He was happy now. Water, food, and he was clean. Lazily, Lucky tried to snuggle into Salem's lap.

[Strega]

Salem chuckled, "Hold on..." he stood, taking the tray and setting it on the table. He left the water dish on the ground, just in case, then climbed back onto the bed. He didn't have a meeting the next day, but the day after that he did, so he didn't bother changing out of his clothes. He laid down, "Come here." he'd pet Lucky until the man fell asleep, then he'd think about his predicament.

[TailsNyne]

Lucky curled up beside him, laying his head on Salem's thigh. He was, well, part cat. As if you couldn't tell. He'd happily go to sleep anytime. He was a little less weary of him, seeing as he gave him tuna, but still. "Nice."

[Strega]

Salem blushed a little, that was rather close to a certain area and he really couldn't help the feeling that the movement gave him. This was a story that no one was going to find out about, "Y-yeah. Nice."

[TailsNyne]

Lucky scratched his ear with his leg before laying his head back down and closing his eyes. His tail curled up slightly before uncurling and laying limp on the bed. Sleep.

[Strega]

Salem rubbed his temples. Great, so he was having bad thoughts, even for an unmarried man, and he still wasn't sure how to explain the cat-man to his wife. He rubbed his eyes and closed them. He needed sleep and soon found himself sleeping.

[TailsNyne]

Lucky awoke several times throughout the night to change possitions. Eventually, he found himself curled up on Salem's pillow, resting his head on the older's.

[Strega]

When Salem woke up, he almost cried out in surprise at the very close proximity. He blushed and waited for the cat-man to wake up before mentioning anything. they'd have to find a better way to sleep, especially considering the previous night's ideas flashed through his head.

[TailsNyne]

Of course, Lucky saw nothing wrong with it. He also thought he was a cat and thought water was evil. He yawned, showing off his sharp teeth. He gave Salem a few licks, cleaning him. Of course, he didn't exacally mean to. He was still tired.

[Strega]

Oh dear god, Salem really needed a shower, and he wasn't thinking about a warm one. He blushed a bit more at the licks but lightly scratched behind Lucky's ears, "Hungry?"

[TailsNyne]

"Hungry." Lucky echo, leaning back against his hand. He had to admitt, he liked not sleeping in a cage. It wasn't crowded and uncomfortable.

[Strega]

"Do you want tuna again or is there another kind of.... fish that you like?" Salem was choosing his words carefully, still petting the cat man.

[TailsNyne]

Tune fish like. "Food." Lucky repeated, sitting back. His tailed curled up and loosened back several times as he began to tug at his make-shift clothing he'd been given. It would only push people away if he was naked. Lucky didn't like clothing.

[Strega]

"Wh-what are you doing???" Salem blinked, watching him curiously, debating on what he was doing.

[TailsNyne]

"Lucky no like dress up." He responded simply, trying fruitlessly to get the clothing off.

[Strega]

"Ah, not publicly acceptable. You can only be a nudist when you're alone." Salem kept the clothes on Lucky, his blushe twenty times worse than it had been earlier.

[TailsNyne]

And he understood none of that. Lucky did, however, get slightly upset when Salem kept him in the clothing. "Lucky dun like clothes."

[Strega]

"Lucky needs to stay in his clothes." at least for Salem's sanity's sake. He was going crazy as he questioned his sexuality. It was not right, especially since he was married.

[TailsNyne]

"But Lucky no like clothes." He gave a soft growl, starting to get annoyed. So, after a while, Lucky could get frisky. Well, he knew where this was going. Straight to the spray bottle.

[Strega]

"Please stay in the clothes, Lucky?" the thought hadn't even cossed Salem's mind to do that. instead he pleaded with the cat boy, "I'll give you something in return. Anything as long as it's reasonable."

[TailsNyne]

Lucky wrinkled his nose back and curled into a ball, annoyed. He didn't like clothes! Clothes were very bad for Lucky! "Lucky no like clothes." He grumbled.

[Strega]

"Thank you Lucky." Salem sighed thankfully, leaning against the head board of the bed. That was rather close call for his sanity. How strange to have it riding on such a case.

[TailsNyne]

Actually, there were a lot of things Lucky didn't like. They'd have a hard time giving him a bath, that was for sure.

[Strega]

Salem pet at the base of Lucky's ear, thinking as he remained where he was. At least the other man had some spirit left to him. He'd reminded Salem so much of an abused child even afraid to look up.

[TailsNyne]

Lucky pushed his head back against the hand. Thou he was still annoyed about the clothes things, he liked to be petteded. No matter how upset he was. "Is Salem love Lucky." So he was still a bit off in his grammer. Of course, to him, being 'loved' was a bad thing. He'd grown up where the people had constantly said they 'loved' him, and those were the people that liked to spray him with water and smack him with rolled up newspaper and things like that.

[Strega]

'Love' to Salem had always been a word not easily thrown around. He did not 'love' his friends. He did, however, 'love' his wife and family, so the question made him shake his head, "No."

[TailsNyne]

Yay. Lucky cirlced around on the bed and laid back down with his head in Salem's lap. He gave off a soft purr. "Nice."

[Strega]

No, that wqas not a nice move in Salem's opinion. He bit his lip a little, but continued to pet Lucky. he wasn't going to think about the things that his mind was wanting him to think about.

[TailsNyne]

Lucky pawed at the bedspread. He was in happy place. For now, anyways. He'd probably get upset again later.

[Strega]

Salem smiled a little as he watched Lucky's actions. It was cute to watch him do that. He wasn't sure on all where to pet so he remained at his spot.

[TailsNyne]

Lucky placed his head down again, rolling onto his back and streaching out. He'd happily to back to sleep. He was already drifting off.

[Strega]

Salem laughed softly and set his hand next to Lucky.

[TailsNyne]

Lucky opened one eye, looking toward him lazily. He gave a soft yawn, closing his eye again and rolling onto his side.

[Strega]

Salem stared at the ceiling, humming softly.

[TailsNyne]

Lucky echoed his hum. He was a quick learner. There were a couple things permenately stuck in his head that would probably be impossiable to fix, but new things were easy.

[Strega]

Salem smiled at him, "Very good." he pet between Lucky's ears again.

[TailsNyne]

The small, cat man only purred contently.

[Strega]

Salem smiled at this. Such a pretty man....

[TailsNyne]

((I'll play the wife and one of the twins if you play the other kid (and if we do a time skip the unborn). x]))

Lucky jumped, his hair standing on end as a strang noise signaled from beneath him. He dissappeared under the bed rather quickly. Stupid singing square thingy (cellphone).

[Strega]

((I might have to go soon...))
((And alright.))

Salem shifted, pulling the cell phone out, "Oh great.... He prepared himself for a lecture as he answered it, "Hi honey."

[TailsNyne]

However, instead of the usual lecture, Kimiko sounded rather calm. Well, she had two six year olds staring at her intently. "Are you alright?" Was her first question. "We got worried when you didn't pick up."

[Strega]

"I'm fine, I just got.... hung up...." Salem looked at the cat man, "... Do you mind if I bring a ... pet home?"

[TailsNyne]

Oh, crap. Stupid speaker phone. Well, now she couldn't say no. Both girls had heard. Kimiko gave a slightly annoyed grunt. "Fine. But you're cleaning up after it when the girls get tired with it."

[Strega]

"Yay!!!"Cecily giggled and ran around Kimiko, "Wanna talk to Daddy!!!!" she reached for the phone.

Salem's heart flew when he heard his daughter's voice, "Hey girls. And, I really don't mind taking car of him. He's house broken...." if house broken was considered part man and hated clothes....

[TailsNyne]

Secily sat up on the table where the base to the phone was. "Pet!" Yay! They were getting a pet. "What is it, what is it, what is it?!" Kimiko gave a soft sigh, handing the phone to Cecily and sittign in a dinning room chair. Lucky starred at Salem blankly. "I pet?" He'd never been a pet before. It sounded exciting.

[Strega]

"He's a.... uhm a cat....." Salem nodded to Lucky, petting him, "A big cat......" like human size.

"Is it a tiger?!" Cecily asked excitedly.

[TailsNyne]

"It better not be a tiger." Kimiko groweled. "Is it a bob cat!" Secily questioned next. "It better not be a bob cat, either." She had heard the other voice. She'd question him about it later. Lucky tilted his head.

[Strega]

"No, not a bob cat. It's a really big surprise." Salem laughed, "Are you two behaving?"

"Ummmm, yeah?" Cecily looked at her mom, "Are we?"

[TailsNyne]

"I suppose." Kimiko sighed. It better not be any kind of big cat. It wouldn't be the only thing being kicked out the house. Secily smiled broadly. So exciting. "When are you coming home, Daddy?!"

[Strega]

"Soon, honey, soon." Salem sighed, not knowing an exact date.

"How soon." Cecily whined.

[TailsNyne]

Kimiko gave a gentle sigh. "Come now. The sooner you let Daddy go the sooner he can come home." She mumbled. Lucky gave a soft purr, his tail swishing around wildly. "I talk! I talk!" He lunged at him, wanting to talk to the people in the little device.
