He was being so cute, or perhaps it was the new bias now that she adopted them. She continues to pet him, on cloud nine.
"Hmmm perhaps once you get checked out by a vet and take an appointment at a groomers, I can take you to work with me so you can see how they do it." She offers and gives him something to look forward to. She giggles and kisses the top of his head. "Well, it's because you are so cute and handsome!"
A higher quality violin... That is something she will need to get for him. "YouTube is a website where people from around the world watch videos. People upload videos on there and if people like you enough, you can make money. It never hurts to try if it's something you want to do."
Then fish is here and Leanne giggles at the sight of him being excited about eating fish. She brings the bags to the table and goes to set out all the dishes on the table but one. That one goes into the fridge.
"Eat slowly, we don't want you to choke on food. We have some fun foods as well."
She points to the two orders of soft shell crab, yaki soba and a container of seafood upon.
"And I already put a portion of fish into the fridge for you to eat tomorrow so you won't be hungry."
A small grin. "Really? Do you think that's allowed? I hope I don't steal most of the spotlight if they find me a perfect subject. It's not really my dream to become a model, but rather playing music in a well-established concert. But otherwise, if you want to take me to the pet and get me cleaned up, I'll shall go."
With a nod, "I'll try. I don't have to make videos and use cameras. You might have to show me how."
He tries to help by setting up for dinner. He learned quickly what the utilities are for. "Of course. Those smell good."
Very delicately, using a fork and spoon, he slowly dig in, eating slowly and savoring each bite. To him, this is a rich taste. "It's really good."
"Of course, if anything, it could get you practice. Then it would be up to you if you wished to continue or not. I don't know if I can grant you that dream but... I can try to help you where and when I can."
She reaches over to tap on his nose. "And yes, we will need to take you to the vets and groomers. Just to make sure that there is nothing wrong with you."
A wink as he helps set the table. "It should be easy to teach you. Especially with your dream, making videos may be a right step towards it."
A small amount of pride goes through her as he seems to enjoy the food. "I am glad. Consider this as a celebration dinner." A small pause. "The celebration of you willing to be adopted by me."
"All right." He said. He's not terribly fond of anything that reminds him of a hospital. He never been to one other, not even the free, city sponsored clinics at the kennels.
"I plan to practice more, but I find my old violin is becoming off-key. Like no matter how much I wind it up, the strings can't match what I hear on the radio." He sighed as he notices his violin's string quality is declining and make scratchy notes. He won't admit to her that he wanted a new violin and he's thinking up ways to make money and save up on his own.
He sniffles and wiggles his nose in response. In his cat form, he would have smoothen out his whiskers as a reflex.
He nods to that. "It will take a while to get used to. Having a nice warm place to live and not worry about when it will rain or snow."
She was picking up a little on his hesitation about going to the vet and groomers and frowns a little. "If you behave and do a good job at them, I will take you to a nice sushi restaurant."
The violin, it was on its last legs and she frowns a little before smiling softly. "We will have to see what we can do. It is still beautiful though, your violin."
And stop being so cute! She won't be able to handle it!
"Take your time to get used to it." She then stretches a little before taking a couple of bites. "I will have to look for a bigger place to live. So you won't feel so cramped by the lack of space." And a bright smile. "And also to put all the clothes you will be getting away."
With a soft chuckle, "All right, you win. I never thought being a pet means I can eat fish on a daily basis. I wouldn't mind a little variety for my palate like chicken and turkey."
He looks at his violin pitifully, "It might have seen better days, but I think the strings are too worn and scratchy and that's why it was thrown away. Now if it's a good violin, I'm sure it could move and inspire people."
With a small shake of his head as he takes a few hearty bites. "You don't have too. This is fine. As long it isn't raining and snowing, at least I'm not cold or wet."
She beams and nods her head. "Of course. I will do my best to give you all the different types of meat."
The sight of the violin causes her to frown. "It may take me a bit but I can get you a new one. Once I have the money I will take you to the music shop to get a new one of your choice."
Awwww, he is sweet. She reaches over to pet his hair again. "I will still look but I won't be in a rush. But wouldn't you like your own room? A room to call your own?"
"That's...that's wonderful really." He said in wonderment. "Meat of any kind is hard to come by. Usually I go by with bread, biscuits, and water and if I'm lucky cheese and coffee and that was it." He earned it through his music.
He looked at his violin and at her, and he sounds hopeful. "If you could manage, I'll make it up to you and repay you somehow. It's no small thing. This violin, I found by pure luck even if it's semi-broken."
With the pets, he can't help but to purr just a little. "Ah." He won't admit a small touch is wonderful. "You're too kind. Even if it's small space like a closet, that would be grand my dear."
She beams at him in his reaction to learning that he will have different types of meat. "Oh my~ then I guess you are going to be spoiled rotten by the time I am done with you." A small playful tease. "Just don't let yourself get too spoiled."
But then he brings the attention back to his violin and slowly nods her head. "Allowing me to adopt you is payment enough. It will take me a while before I can afford the one for you."
The purrs, he was being so cute! "No, not for my cat... I would love to give you your own space. Hnnn, but for now, once I take you to the vet and groomers, we can at least share my bed."
"I think being with you is a luxury that I can't never repay." He mewed. Suddenly, he felt exhausted from living his life on the streets and then over a course of a few days, his heart is filled with hope that he will be an adopted pet.
It's not that he has any allegiance to the proud clans on the streets that desire no human company and rather fight for territory and scraps of good. He's a lone stray cat with depressing prospects of survival and even the worst fate, death.
Yet a part of him clinged on. He has dreams. He hungers for the finer things in life. To make music. To be able to read. To understand stories in cinema. To understand humans and what they do. The past of being an orphaned cat haunts him when he has no memories of his brothers and sisters or his parents. A mixed breed of no lineage or pedigree.
Yet here's a human, understanding, sweet, kind, and wanted him.
"I wouldn't mind sharing your bed." He murmured, thinking innocently she meant snuggling and cuddling in a warm big bed meant for humans. "If you really do desire to have me, then I'm yours."
He has nothing, but he figured being a cat, he's naturally inclined to affection, but up until now he shared with no one. On the streets, he usually ignored the nameless females or males in heat, as they're always taken freely by another, and he didn't care for them nor didn't want to breed unwanted offspring no one wanted like himself.
A quick kiss to her hand and a weak, insecure purr as he rubs his face on her hands and slender fingers since he has no idea how to express affection.
A small smile briefly appears before it becomes a more warmer smile. "Just be happy is a way for you to repay me."
It was a great gift this stray cat was giving her, especially one who was such a proud stray. She has no idea what his life was like before they came into each other lives but she has already made the choice to do what she can to make it better.
She blinks when he mentions sharing her bed and giggles. "Then we must give you a shower to get you all nice and clean beforehand. Then we can share my bed." She did mean it in a innocent manner but yet, she is a little aware of what it means for a male and female to share a bed. "I do desire you."
Her smile grows warmer as he kisses her hand and that purr. Okay, she needs to help him get it to be more secure. "I knew it, you are quite cute. You are doing good."
Once dinner was done, she leans over to give him a kiss on the top of his head. "Follow me and I will show you how to use the shower."
"Oh yes shower. I figured that out much. I was never a fan of water, but it's matter of getting used to hot or cold when the water is turned on." It crosses his mind that he is starting to look a little better in appearance, just a little underweight with his ribs showing from lack of food.
He got up and follows her, "I figured it out, but perhaps I need a little help with my tail. It's a part of me that is hard to reach."
"It is always shocking when the shower first starts." She was never a fan of the surprise hot or cold start of showers. She has noticed he was starting to look better and smiles, soon... She can't wait to see what he will look like once he is in his prime.
Her smile never fading as she nods her head. "You are quite clever. I can help with your tail! Your tail will never be as clean after I get done with it." She speaks with a wink to try and keep his spirit up. "Showers can make anyone feel better."
With a nod, he heads over to the bathroom. "You might want to avert your eyes." He said. "I'm a male after all. I'm not used to living with anybody else, but modesty and dignity is required."
Inside he undresses, putting away the borrowed shirt and pants piece by piece. He shivered, remembered the intense cold of previous winters and rain. He reaches over the faucet to turn on the water and turns the dial hot or cold.
By instinct he growls and hiss cat-like as his tail fluffs up straight up as the water hits him when he steps inside obediently, "Ah, water. That's the smarts."
She blinks before her face completely lights up in a blush, slowly nodding her head. "Ye-Yes, modesty and dignity is definitely required." So much blushing as she finally realizes what it means to help wash his tail.
When he undresses, she turns away so that her back was facing him. They were male and female and now living together. Her head tilts a little as she focuses on listening to him for when he is ready for her help.
At the sound of his growl and hiss, she brings her hand to her lips to chuckle softly. Ah, there was the cat-like feature which was helping to remind her that he was a pet. "Are you okay? Let me know when you are ready for my help."
With a little adjustment, Lucifer finds the right temperature as the water rains down on him. After a while he just stood there.
"Please wait in just a few moments..." He just needs a few moments soak, then with the liquid soap, lathers up until there's bubbles everywhere on his body. He gives his fur ears and tail a through washing.
"I think this should be fine." He opens the shower stall door by a crack and his wet black fur tail just poking out. "There's my tail."
"Ah, there is no rush." Afterall, showers should be for relaxing. A small amount of guilt goes through her for trying to rush him.
A small sigh leaves her before perking up at the sound of the shower door and then... The jet black tail. Okay, she couldn't help but to giggle quite a bit, relieved that was all that she will see of him.
"Alright, leave it to me to wash your tail. And enjoy the shower." With that, she goes pour some shampoo on the black fur before rubbing and massaging the fur, working the shampoo in to clean it. After a few moments, she takes a few steps back.
"Okay, it is done. Make sure to rinse it off well."
She might find a few rough furred mats that needs to be cut and trimmed. She could either do it herself later on or find an appointment with an expert groomer to get his appearance back to shape. Either way, with the rush of water and soap, at least the hard to rinse out dirt from his fur is being washed out.
"Thank you." His tail swayed back, and he closed the door. The only sight is his naked figure silhouette that she could make out if she catches a look.
After a few long moments, he'll come all clean and lost the smell of the street, the dirt, and grime from his skin. Any other imperfections just need a visit to the groomer to fix him up.
"I'm done. I tried my best, so I hope you find me acceptable." He gets dressed in the clothes she gives him, and he'll curled up on the sofa for beddings to rest for a while.
She notices the few rough mats, frowning a little. She will have to make an appointment to get him professionally groom and cleaned. This poor cat, why did no one ever take him in.
"You are welcome. Take your time in the shower and enjoy it." She did accidentally catch sight of his silhouette, blushing a little.
She was making the bed, preparing it to have two people sleep on it. He... He should have the best from now on. She blinks when he leaves and announces his arrival.
"Let me see." She moves closer to first try and run her fingers through his hair before leaning in to sniff him. "Yes, it is acceptable. Come and get in the bed with me." And she will tug him towards her bed. "Come here~ enjoy a bed instead of the couch." A small thought. "And no worries, we will both still keep out dignity and modesty."
He's bit wet from hair to fur so his hair is still sticking to his skin, but he is drying up fairly. He just needs a good hair drying.
"Ah good." He's relieved that he's no longer smell like a stray alley cat. Obediently he finds himself on her bed, curled up and loafing and relaxing, marveled at how comfy the bed is. "So this is what a bed feels like. I always imagine it's a nice place to take a nap and sleep in between the blankets." He remarked as he slowly closes his eyes to relax.
Cute, he was being cute right now. Once he was loafing and relaxing, she moves a hand to start petting him, humming softly. "And you will always sleep in a bed from now on. Sleep, get your rest. This week will be a busy one for you." With groomers, vet appointments and perhaps finding a new place for them to live so it won't feel cramped. She leans over to grab a small towel to gently dry his hair, focusing on trying to make it as relaxing as she possibly can.
"Goodnight, my black cat." She whispers before bending down to give him a kiss on the top of his head. Time to send him off to sleep with warmth and love.
"You best go to sleep and get your rest." He said with a sleepy murmur. At least now, she can pet him and stroke through his ears and tail as much as he wants. She'll discover she can curled up to him for warmth and comfort, and she can hear the rumbling of his purrs throughout the night.
It will take a few days until the next few days turned into a week. At first, he's a lazy cat without much routine other than to watch t.v, lounge on her sofa, play his instrument, and help her with cooking their meals and eat together. Eventually, he trusts enough to longue and sit next to her, loafing and she could cuddle up with him for warmth and comfort until night falls.
"Don't worry, I will, but I want to pamper you a little." Which she does by stroking his ears and tail, petting and singing softly to him. Before long, she yawns and curls up to him and falls asleep as well.
The next few days were busy but felt oh so satisfying as she was not only taking care of him, but was also slowly developing trust and bond with him. Whenever he showed signs of trusting her, she would reward him with affection, her own warmth and love. Currently, she was using both hands to give him a head massage as they longue about.
"You have both a grooming and vet appointment coming up. Afterwards, I was thinking of taking you to some music stores to see the price range for a violin that you want to get." So she can save up to get it.
She then smiles and gives him a light kiss on his head. "You are so cuddly, much better than any plushie or pillow out there."
"I'm glad you think so." He was well-dressed for the occasion, trying to look handsome as he looks. But to recieve grooming and medical attention for the first time excites him and scares him all the same. The trust between her and him grows stronger by the day, each day filled with warmth, love, and affection.
"You don't have to." He sai softly but then again after all of this, that means he's going to get registered as an adopted pet and not a homeless street cat, and at the end of the day, his happiness is secured with her. "But all right."
"Whenever you're ready, let's go." To the vet and then the grooming, he meant as he waited a long time for those appointments.
She smiles and glad that he can pull of the clothes she got him from her job. It was a big day for him and was proud of how much he has grown to trust at least her.
"Yes, I do. It is your passion and something you love to do. Plus, we are just looking and maybe if we find one that we can get today, we will pick it up." She reaches up to pet him.
Leanne gets up and starts to head to the front door. "Lets go then, the vet first and then the groomers. Let me know whenever it gets too much for you." But they will need to go through both appointments. "I will be by your side. But first lets get to the bus stop."

"Eat slowly, we don't want you to choke on food. We have some fun foods as well."
She points to the two orders of soft shell crab, yaki soba and a container of seafood upon.
"And I already put a portion of fish into the fridge for you to eat tomorrow so you won't be hungry."
