Furnado Animal Shelter; Monday [06/07].
Sakaki's morning had started out busy, as she helped with a shipment of large bags of food that needed to go on the shelves and in the storage room. She was pretty strong, so it wasn't very difficult work, it was just very tiring, so when she was finished, she was happy to just rest and relax behind the counter and watch the pups and the kittens playing in the pen nearby.
Until one of the cats hopped up onto the counter in front of her.
Sakaki's heart started racing faster than it had with any amount of physical activity as she stared with wide-eyed disbelief. "Oh," she managed, "hello. Have...have you come to keep me company?"
The car's bright, playful eyes regarded her, tail swishing behind him, and he kept out a happy little meow. Encouraged by such a positive response, Sakaki lifted her hand to slowly offer it out, but she didn't get very far at all before the cat let out another cheerful meow and then leaped, like a missle, targeted to headbutt Sakaki right in the eye before tearing off.
Sakaki flinched back with a cry of surprise, fairly certain she could hear the cat giggling about the whole thing while she whimpered. It hadn't hurt too much. Most of the injury was to her pride, as she went to find the vet about getting her an ice pack for her new black eye.
And as she sat there now nursing her wounds, a small smile surfaced.
Because, sure, she'd been attacked, but...
...the cat had come to her this time!
Progress was clearly being made.
Furnado is open!
