Another Sub Rosa entry! I call this little scene "introducing the cats"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jess enters Adrienne’s house and the first thing her eyes saw were the number of cats around the room. 1 cat had white and black spots, one had orange hair and black stripes like a tigers, one had black hair, the other white, one had brown and one had an assortment of all 3 colors and lastly there was one with orange hair and what seems to be a scar on his body. There were 2 cats on the sofa, 1 was sleeping above the fire place, 3 were playing on the floor and another 1 was walking toward them as if it was greeting them.
“You never told me that you loved cats this much, Adrienne. How do you raise these guys? I have a fish at home and it’s already causing me trouble.” Wondered Jess as she was tip-toeing on the floor looking at the ground careful not to step one of the 3 playing cats on the ground.
“Well… I didn’t really find it much of a challenge. For as long as I can remember I’ve had these cats. I and my sisters take turns caring for them.” Adrienne replied.
“Well good for you. I always wanted to have a real pet at home but I’ve always been either too busy or too lazy to even bother taking care of my pet. Also, my brother tends to torment animals, like his old guinea pig “guss”. So sending a pet at home would be like sending it to its grave.” Jess said while patting one of the cats “what are their names by the way?”
“Names? Well those 2 on the sofa are Friday and Tuesday. The 3 playing around is Monday, Saturday and Wednesday. While the one sleeping is—“
“let me guess.” Interrupted Jess
“The one sleeping is Sunday and this guy is Thursday! Right?”
“Actually it’s the vice-versa. The one sleeping is Thursday and this one is Sunday.”
“Ohh… right, who named these guys anyway? Frankly I found the fact that you named your cats according to the 7 days of the week rather weird.” Wondered Jess
“Well my sisters named them. When I was born they were already named.”
