Eli is a druid who runs an animal clinic in the friendly city of Gotham.
Eli has two recent problems.
First, his boyfriend has been gone for three days, doesn't answer calls or messages, and seems to be breaking up with him by giving him the silent treatment.
Second, a bully of a Siamese cat barged into his animal clinic, refuses to leave, and has beaten up every one of the resident animals. Eli has no choice but to take him home.
Jason is a costumed vigilante who spends every night wearing a helmet and playing parkour with criminals.
Jason has two recent problems.
First, an evil spell turned him into a cat. He hasn't been home for three days and is about to have a relationship crisis.
Second, after finally sneaking into his boyfriend's house, he discovers that people keep climbing through his boyfriend's window in the middle of the night.
The bully cat not only freeloads, but has no manners and has even started gathering a gang.
On the first day, the bully cat went out and rolled into the shop, fighting with a tiny black kitten in a hooded cape who looked like somebody's pampered pet. Selioer hurriedly separated the two cats, took a picture of the kitten, and posted a lost-cat notice.
On the second day, the bully cat went out with the little black cat. They rolled into the shop fighting again, with a Ragdoll caught between them, trying to break it up while getting beaten. They knocked over a shelf, sending cans rolling all over the shop.
On the third day, the bully cat, the Ragdoll, and the little black cat went out. This time they didn't come back fighting, but all five arrived together: a majestic black-and-white cat carried in a Turkish Angora kitten whose eyes could barely open, while the Ragdoll followed with the little black cat's hood in its mouth. The bully cat walked at the rear, looking thoroughly indignant.
On the fourth day, a distinguished English butler stood outside the pet shop, searching for his lost cat.
Reading notes:
1. Pairing: Red Hood.
2. A bit of lighthearted fun. Please forgive any out-of-character moments.
3. The protagonist is somewhat idealized, since he's a fantasy creature.
Theme: Cuddling cats solves all your troubles.
