Cat Nap (Spoon/Open)

[Deleted]

It was a massive turn of events for the little white spotted black cat after everything that has happened to her. She was doing well, even lost some of her social and her humanity. She was a house pet now for crying outloud, eating cat food and getting petted. Half of her enjoyed it but it was nothing compared to what she really wanted. Her boss was going to disapprove of what she was doing to her self and the stupid, sometimes friendly, hell hound would laugh at her. He would laugh and die laughing. Stupid mutt.

But what she didn't realize her leopard friend was going to be in the same house, and that there was going to be a miniature horse, a corgi, and thank god a regular house cat. The corgi she had a problem with, and her friend wasn't hiding the fact that she knew the little kitten.But now wasnt the time to worry, she was actually enjoying her self here and there. It it could never feel the empty void inside her as hard as she might try. Laying streatched out on the couch, Lee was enjoying every bit of this simple comfort, the sunlight, the warmth. The little, itsybitsy quiet....

He was almost home now. Nickolas Trimm, better known to friends, colleagues, his special lady, and his fans as Spoon, walked down the street in his neighbourhood, his hands filled to the brim with grocery bags. Yes that's right, Spoon went out shopping today. He was after all just like every other guy. He went to grocery stores and shopped for food and other necessities just like anyone else. It was well past time that he did, with the amount of beings living in the house, him, some of his friends (one of them being a hungry pregnant leopard chick), and a variety of pets, it was bad to let the fridge and cupboards stay so empty for long. Someone had to do the shopping, and today it had to be him. Akeelah wasn't allowed outside according to TB, who wanted to make sure that the girl didn't have another run in with her ex, and everyone else that lived in the house was out and were going to be out for most of the day. There was no one else to do it but him. Not like he minded. It was good to get out and do something non-hyper every once in awhile. Spoon's life was so hectic sometimes with him being a super special awesomely secret PIDA agent that it made him miss moments like this.

Lucky for him, he had a week off of work, so he could do what he wanted. Most of the day was spent shopping, but tonight? Well he had some plans for tonight. Tonight he was gonna play around with his pets for a bit, then drag Akeelah around to play with all of them, then spend the rest of the night watching movies on netflix. Ah yes, it was the perfect plan! The only thing that could make it better was getting his honey Meena to come join him. That would be great, he could give her a call and pick her up from her house. He could do it, do a quick drive over to her house, all suave and shit, take her back his place for a movie/cuddle night and after that...The young man giggled at the not so innocent thought popped into his mind as he headed up to his house. He definitely needed to give her a call provided no one had come back home.

“I'M HOME FUCKERS!!!” Spoon shouted the moment he got inside of the house but was greeted by silence. Well, that was a good sign to a degree. Silence meant no one was home yet, and Akeelah was probably sleeping through the day like she normally did. Well that would change in a moment. Whistling to himself, Spoon carried his goods into the kitchen to put the majority of his goods away. He was halfway done packing when he heard the little click clack sounds of hooves on the floor behind him. The man turned around and looked down at his little miniture horse. “Hello Fork.” Spoon smiled underneath his mask as he pet the little horse. “Guess what buddy, I got some treats for you!” Spoon reached into one of the bags and pulled out a big red and juicy apple and held it out to the horse to eat. Little Fork neighed happily and munched down on the treat. “There is more where that came from Fork. I also bought some more ingredients to make more horse granola for you, I know you love that stuff. But don't eat too much or else you will get sick.”

“Oh right...that reminds me.” Spoon left the apple for Fork to consume to look into the other bags for the other pet stuff he bought. While Spoon had been out shopping he couldn't help but make a little stop at the pet shop to grab some treats and toys for his two pets. Especially for Sparkles. Fork had enough toys to play with since he had been around long enough for the man to spoil him. Sparkles however was different. He loved his little Sparkle kitty that he couldn't spoil the cute little thing enough. He even bought somethings for Akeelah too since as far as he was concerned she was just a big cat in a human body. But Akeelah was asleep so Sparkles would be getting her gifts first. “Where is Sparkles...” the man mused. The house was big enough that the kitten could be hiding anywhere, but like any cat Sparkles had a few hang out places that she normally hanged out in. Spoon picked up the large bag of cat stuff from the counter, gave Fork a quick pat on his neck before heading for the first place he could think of, the living room couch. Sure enough Sparkles was there on the couch, most likely sleeping as she always did. Awww she was just so cute, he just wanted to sneak up on her and snuggle her. Spoon took his mask off and placed it on the nearest table before he tried to creep up on the cat. Closer...closer....almost there....

“Sparkles!” the man squealed before scooping the cat up into his arms and pulled her into a hug. “Did you miss me sweety pie?” Surely Sparkles missed him today, and most of the week when he was away. He felt bad for leaving her so much when he had only gotten her recently, but he'd make up for it. “Guess what my little Sparkles, I got somethings for you~” The man pulled out a little bag of milk flavoured cat treats, opened the bag and poured out a handful of the little snacks out for her to eat. “Do you want to try out your new treats before I show you all the toys and stuff I got you? I know you'll love it!”

The shout that sounded though out the house went unregistered in the near asleep kitten angel. All it was was a dream. Spoon hadn't been around much, which was fine for the not-so-feral-anymore kitten. She could enjoy the quiet. Some part of her told her to go up to Akee's room and snuggle with her, but the other side, the one that was definitely more Lee, said no and that she might get eaten and be food for the leopard and the baby (or babies) that was growing inside her. Once those little demons were born Lee was going to have to hide, which so far had been her specialty. Stupid corgi. Stupid mutt. He was almost no better than Gil in her opinion, even if he had been some what...o,su since she last saw him.

A sad thought crossed the girl's mind. Gil...Akhtar...she hadn't seen them yet. Did they miss her? We're they worried? She was a horrible assistant, a horrible friend. Everything wasn't.....everything wasn't right in the world and it could never be right again. It would always be incomplete once again. A close friend of hers, Akhtar's friend as well, was gone, dead, died in his dreams by some horrid beast that no one ever saw...and then there was her man, the one that was meant for her and only her. Something happened and she wasn't sure what, but the world had turned black for her. Lee had stopped showing up at Luna on time if at all, she had started drinking again, she was brought in to the shadows once more and something inside her was screaming st her to end it all, to fuck everyone that she cared about and end it all and kill.... But she didn't.

Something dark was stirling in the barely-awake-dream, something that frighten the half angelic, the half demonic kitten. Small shakes went though her body, and the outside world was unknown to what was going on, even lee couldn't fully grasp it. This wasn't the first time the nightmares shook her with fear in her sleep. Anyone who paid attention to her would've seen the shakes before. Something suddenly grabbed her and there was a loud squel in her ear that could only be from the streaking man who called himself Spoon, but the realization didn't click until the small black and white cat calmed down, which was after the claws, if there was any if the man hadn't trimmed them, dug into the arm and shoulder of the one who grabbed her, piercing any skin.

Claws retracting and fluffy tail still swishing, her tired eyes filled with fright turned to Spoon's face, a grouchy look combined with a look of "wtf" stared at him. But then there was a rustling sound, and her black ears perked and turned towards the bags of treats he was getting into. The domesticated cat that was born inside her and growing took interest in the treats. Sniffing them before she took on win her mouth to eat, Lee began to purr. It was a weak purr, which was all she could manage at the time since she lost her self, but it would have seem stronger than it was when she first was brought her. Lee was letting her self become soft so that she didn't have to worry much about anything. Eating a few more, her tail stopped swishing back and forth and she looked up at spoon once again.

It was a lot easier than Spoon had thought it would be to find his little kitten in the house. It only took looking at the first favourite spot Sparkles hung out in that came to his mind to find her. The moment the man entered the room he saw his beloved little kitten sleeping soundly on the couch. Good, now that he found her it was time to play! Like the little trickster he was Spoon thought he would be smart and sneak up on the little cat to surprise her. That plan went differently from what he imagined. In his head Little Sparkles jumped a little but mewed happily and purred while he snuggled her. In reality his antics earned him a few extra scars. “Ouch!” the man yelped as he felt little claws dig into his flesh. It always amazed him how much those claws hurt, no matter how many times he gotten scratched up by all sorts of cats, cat scratches hurt worse than anything. “No, bad Sparkles.” the man lightly tapped the cat on the nose as he gave her a stern expression. Thankfully once Sparkles saw that it was him she did calm down a little. Seeing her calm down made the man smile.

“Awww, look at your cute little sleepy face~” the man cooed, he gave her little eskimo kisses. “I think its about time I clipped your claws again. But today isn't going to be boring old grooming day. Today is spoil you rotten day! Man Sparkles you are gonna love what I brought for you. First you get some treats, then you can see all the toys I bought you!” Spoon wasted no time in fulfilling the first part of the day's orders by feeding her some treats. The man smiled as he watched Sparkles eat from his hand before he gently placed her down. “Okay Sparkles, since I don't think you have enough toys yet I went and bought you all sorts of stuff!” As he talked Spoon pulled out a huge assortment of cat toys out of the bag. There were all sorts of items there, little wind up toys, toy mice of every shape and sizes, balls stuffed with catnip, and teasers, even a little cat tunnel for her to play or sleep in. Whatever he thought Sparkles might enjoy Spoon bought it. Hell, he'd have bought the whole store if he'd have too. Spoon absentmindedly rubbed his chin as he looked down at all the things he bought for Sparkles. What toy should he start with? “Oh I know!” the man said and pulled out one of the more realistic wind up mice. “You will love this one.” Spoon told her. “This one makes squeaky noises when you play with it. Here try it out!” Spoon took the toy out of its packaging, wound it up and let it loose for Sparkles to go after.

When her claws drugged into the mans flesh, she was rewarded with a tap on the nose, in which in reply to that just wrinkled up. But once she calmed down everything was fine. “Awww, look at your cute little sleepy face~” the streaker who wasnt streaking at the time cooed at her like she was a domesticated pet, in which apart of her was becoming even though she wasnt fully proud of it. Lee tenses as Spoon mentioned clipping her claws and she let out a meow in protest, even if it was followed up that he wasnt going to do it today but would instead spoil her. As he set her on the couch after the treats were eaten she looked up at him, her fluffy ringed tail curling around her paws.

As she watched him, she saw that he had bought a lot of stuff from the pet store. Certainly all of this wasnt for her and some of it was going to Akee.....right? Lee looked at everything and found something she might enjoy. The tunnel. She sat on the box that it came in and looked at spoon, mewing st him. Blinking as he picked up a different cst toyo, unpacked it, and wound it up setting it loose. He was right. It did make squecking sounds and moved about. Something in the back of her head was saying it was a real mouse and that she wasnt being a very good cat for letting the mouse in. In a few bounds she quickly went after it, chasing it down and even stalking it if it went out of her site. Tail swishing a small growl escaped her throat. The more feral side of her was showing at last.

Spoon laughed at Sparkle's reaction to him mentioning clipping her claws. It may not look like it to most but Sparkles was one of the most intelligent cats he had ever known. Unlike most cats it really seemed like she understood what he was saying. He could have a real conversation with her at times and she would respond back, sometimes in meows, or facial responses, and even her tail sometimes. It was something even Nova was surprised about, maybe even a little jealous about. Nova's cat didn't grasp all the things either of them said to her when they talked to her like Sparkles did. It was kind of cool, but at the same time it was a little bothersome. Sparkles ability to understand Spoon meant that he had a harder time tricking her into letting him clip her claws, or give her a bath like he could do with other cats. The second he uttered the words bath or water Sparkles would take off, and the poor man had to spend the rest of the day searching the house for her, or having to ask his shapeshifter friend to help look for her.

Good thing he wasn't planning to do any grooming with Sparkles today. No, today was spoil his little kitty rotten day! After the little kitty gobbled down some treats the young man placed his beloved pet down to show off all the neat things he had bought her. Already it looked like Sparkles had taken an interest in one of the items. While Spoon was busy pulling out everything Sparkles had jumped on top of the box that had the tunnel that he had bought for his cat. The man smiled when she mewed at him, of course she wanted to play with the tunnel. That or the box. Cats loved sitting in boxes for some reason. “Does little Sparkles want to play with the tunnel?” he cooed, “Don't worry sweetpea you can have your tunnel, but it will take awhile to set it up, so why don't you try this out instead?” Spoon had taken out one of the wind up mice toys for Sparkles to play with while he took care of the tunnel. The second that he had let the thing loose Sparkles bolted for it. The man laughed as he watched his little kitty go after the toy mouse, then grabbed the tunnel and started opening it up. It took a little longer for the man to set the tunnel up for the cat than it did to take the toy mouse out. But in just a few minutes he had it out and ready for her when someone approached him.

“What are you doing?” Spoon turned around to see Akeelah behind him.

“Akee!” the man squealed as he got up to pull the shifter girl (much to her dismay) into a big hug. “Hey Akee, guess what I did? While you were sleeping and the others were away I decided to go shopping. And I got a bunch of stuff for Sparkles!” Spoon pointed out all the things he had left on the floor for his pet to play with. “Don't worry I didn't forget about you. I got something both you and Sparkles will enjoy.” Spoon dove back into one of the bags and pulled out a bag full of what looked like herbs and a few colourful bags. “Behold! Catnip! The nectar of the cat gods!” the man declared. He was sure once he revealed this that he would see the shapeshifter's eyes light up but all he got was a confused expression.

“What's catnip?”

“What? You never heard of catnip before?” Spoon looked shocked when the girl shook her head. How in the world could Akeelah not know what catnip was? She was a god damn cat. Well, a big cat but still a cat nonetheless. Man did she have a lot to learn. “Silly kitty, I can't believe you don't know what catnip is. But you are about to find out. All cats love this stuff so I am sure you two will like it. Hey Sparkles!” Spoon turned his attention back to his kitty. “Come here and try these balls out and show Akee here what I am talking about."

Tail swishing, Lee continued to stalk her prey. Creeping forward slowly, her butt wiggled in the air. Suddenly she lept in the air, tackling the wound up toy letting out a triumph mew, only to find that it instead got knocked underneath the couch. Grumbling to her self she slowly peered around the couch and watches Spoon struggle with the tunnel. Yes, her hisng place would almost be ready and she could hide even more from trimming and bathing. The brushing she enjoyed very much but the rest, no.

Lee looked up as the shape shifter approached Spoon. Asking him what he was doing and the funny man explained to her what he did. Slowly she creeped over to the tunnel, taking it by one end and started dragging to off to some where, falling once in awhile. The hardest part was trying to get it around the corner of the couch. Growling, she swatted at with her paw and blinked as it made the traditional crumbling sounds. She batted at it again, purring.

Keeping her self entertained, she nearly jumped as Spoon called her back over. Mewing aje padded though the tunnel and passed over, sitting and looking up at him.<What now human? I was having fun with the tunnel. Leave me be of I will shred your bed>[/green] as hard as Lee tried to communicate with the human, she couldn't. So she might as well make worthless threats that may eventually come true.

Spoon loved watching Sparkles play around. His little kitty was such a lively rambunctious cat, she was nothing like any other cat that Spoon had ever met. His friends pet cats were much more lazy than Sparkles was sot hey didn't play around. They were content to sleep all day, even if you bought them new toys to play with the most they would ever do was bat at the toy with their paw once then fall back to sleep. It was so boring to watch them. But Sparkles over here was a go getter. If you brought something for her to play around with then the damn cat would play with it for most of the day. As for if she would continue messing around with it the day after was another story. At least in Spoon's eyes nothing he bought for Sparkles was ever a waste. Spoon watched Sparkles play with her toy mouse for a little bit before turning his attention back at the tunnel she had shown interest in earlier. Stupid damn thing was being more difficult than it should have been to open. Why did they have to make the packaging for a little tunnel so difficult? It was a tunnel for christ sakes, all they needed to do was fold the damn thing up and put it a box. It was as simple as that. But oh no they couldn't just do that, they had to wrap it in annoying plastic, and put it in a smaller box within the box to make sure it didn't rattle around in there. All so that he could struggle with it later when he took it home. Stupid cat tunnel making company, they were going to be the bane of his existence.

By the time that he managed to get the tunnel out of its stupid package, and ready for Sparkles to use Akeelah appeared. Sweet, the little shapeshifter had great timing. The young man was more than happy to show her the gifts he had gotten for both her and Sparkles. He knew that Akeelah wasn't a real house cat or anything like that, but even then she was still a cat, and all cats had something in common. They loved catnip. Or at least he was sure they all did. He wouldn't have bought a bunch of catnip, and catnip filled toys if he didn't think they'd like it. He just couldn't wait to see the smile on Akeelah's face and watch her and Sparkles play with the balls together. It would be the cutest thing ever! But his dreams were almost crushed when the shifter told him that she had never heard of catnip before. Seriously? Out of all the things she didn't know about catnip was one of them? Now that was something he had to change and fast.

“Trust me Akee, you are gonna love this stuff. All cats love catnip, I'll show you.” Spoon turned back to Sparkles and called out for her. Damn, while he had been focusing on Akeelah Sparkles had suddenly vanished, and so had the tunnel. He had to give Sparkles credit, the cute little critter was quick. Where did she run off to play with her toy this time? Spoon didn't have to wait too long for Sparkles to show herself. Soon enough Sparkles poked her head out from behind the couch. The man smiled as she mewed at him. If only he knew what she was saying to him, he'd have bopped her on her cute little button nose for being silly. Alas he didn't, so in his mind she was just asking him what was up. “Look what I got for you~” the man cooed as he bent down and held the little ball out for her to investigate. “Its a ball filled with catnip. Why don't you give it a little sniff and show big sister Akee how it works.”
