'What do I do with it?'
'I can't let the poor thing wander around, look at it! It's scrawny.'
Slowly, Madeline picked it up, hoping the kitten wouldn't react poorly to it.
Thankfully, instead of scratching Madeline or trying to escape, all it did was purr in response.
'Is she purring?' Madeline asked.
[Author's Note: Madeline can tell the cat's a female. To those that wonder how…]
She exclaimed, her eyes sparkly, "You're just so adorable!"
Madeline searched for a collar.
Unable to find a collar, she decided to give it a name.
After a bit of thinking, Madeline finally decided on one name.
"Hmm, what about Lily?"
"Do you like that?" She asked the kitten, stroking its head carefully so she wouldn't harm her.
The kitten meowed in response.
'I must be crazy to consider keeping her.'
'But…'
'The hunt today…'
