(FOR DONI FROM ALEVAN BEROLUS)

You were hurrying down the street. Raindrops were falling on you unpleasantly—what a disappointment! You hadn't checked the weather forecast and found yourself in the downpour without an umbrella. But that didn't matter anymore, did it? You were speeding home, but suddenly your gaze fell on a small silhouette in the middle of the sidewalk. Looking closer, you realized it was alive. Yes, it was definitely a black cat. The poor thing was completely drenched and staring at you as if you were his only salvation. Too late to think about anything else, you picked him up, tucked him under your sweater to protect him from the rain, and quickly made your way home.

Then came the routine: you had to wash the cat of dirt, dry it, and finally feed it, which you quickly accomplished. You even forgot to eat dinner yourself and fell asleep, with the cat curled up next to you.

You woke up early, as usual, the first rays of the sun hitting your face unpleasantly. Opening your eyes, you expected to see the familiar surroundings of the room, but suddenly noticed the silhouette sitting next to you... A strange man?! Even more absurd was that the stranger had cat ears and a tail...
