Life With Cats

Life With Cats is a novel I've worked on for about a year now. It's a warm hearted story about a woman who dies of old age surrounded by the cats she loves with all her heart. She longs to continue living with them, forever. Thankfully and unknowingly the God of Laziness cared for her life enough to grant her another chance. She decides to continue her Life With Cats. Updates coming soon!

Traits and Names

All the way in the back of the group is Mystic. This kitty never liked interacting with the rest of the cats too much, she was stoic. A very friendly cat to people, but when it came to her own kind, she preferred to keep her distance. A lot of the time, in the past, if one of the cats did something bad, like rip something up, she'd come over to me and start meowing. She was a tattle tale. She'd probably be saying something along the lines of 'Those stupid cats did something again' sadly I couldn't understand her back then.

"Mystic." This time the breeze also shined a bit too. I don't know the difference, and what it does. But this was the first time I saw some light come after I gave a name.

[Mystic has been given a trait.]

A trait? So the others still had to wait for their traits I guess. I check the notepad to see what it was.

[Mystic has been given a trait.]

Leadership trait acquired. Mystic will have an easier time giving out orders to her pack. She can be used to keep track of subordinates, and has a higher chance to intimidate others.

This is such a good match to her. It looks like the traits that each of the cats get will be something that makes sense. Shiver will probably get something along the lines of 'Knight' or 'In Command'. Looks like I'll have a little kitty military. I start to wildly imagine all the cats wearing little soldier uniforms. Haha, it's soooo cuteeee.

"Greetings." Mystic has little to say but a lot to do. She gets down quickly and starts to make sure the cats aren't making trouble. I'm glad I did her before I did the rest. The rest of them are the most difficult to handle sometimes. Next up is Grace, Tulip, and Hana. They make up the 'Mean Girls' group. It was just something I called them. They're not that bad, to be honest. But they liked to walk down the hallways of my house in a V formation. Tulip in the front, Grace and Hana at either side. They would even go to the bathroom together! Just kidding. But I liked to joke about it to my neighbors sometimes. They loved to hear my little stories about my cats. Either that or they just dealt with the crazy cat ladies obsession in a nice way.

"Tulip." Tulip is a brown cat, she always keeps herself nicely groomed. And refuses to go to the litter box if someone is near. She's a picky cat. Some of the other cats were troublesome because they liked to steal food or often climbed trees. Tulip is troublesome because she was probably not going to like the room we're in right now. She wants to be treated like a princess. I have no idea what to expect when it came to her voice or how she'd act around me. She's loving, yes, but only when no one was around to see. It was her alone time with me. I guess… she'd be a princess type tsundere.

"It's nice to be formally acquainted with you again, Master. Though don't tell them I said that. I have an image to uphold. I'll greet you sometime in the future again." Tulip has grown nicely, her fur was always very long but I would groom her sometimes to keep it short when it got hot out. It's cold right now so I just figure I'll do it some other time. She's so cute though. She looks super out of place roaming around the room. Eventually she comes back onto the bed.

"I just couldn't find a place to lay down. This place is horrid." She lays down away from the kittens and seems to fall asleep. I can't help but smile at her cute round body curled up. I don't want to spoil her too much this time, but I will at least find her a cushion to sleep on. I turn to the two other kitties.

"Hana." Hana was always following Tulip around. Her only noticeable characteristic other than her clinginess was that her meows always sounded like she was singing. She was loud. Super loud. She was the cat that would wake up the whole neighborhood sometimes. I'm glad that I can communicate with her this time, I'm going to try to get rid of that habit of hers.

"HI MASTER!!" Hana was so loud that Tulip had woken up from her nap.

"Oh no. Not this bimbo…" Tulip covers her ears with her little paws. I'm dying of cuteness! Her tail also curled closer to her face. It's so puffy!

"WAS I TOO LOUD?" Hana is way too oblivious.

"Hana, please calm down a bit. If you get too excited, you won't be able to control your voice." I reprimand her. I really want her to stop being loud. She's bothering the rest of the kittens. The kittens had started to hide further away from her.

"I- I'm sorry, Master. I'll try to be a bit quieter." She isn't a bad cat, by any means. But when she gets excited, her voice gets the better of her.

"It's okay, Hana." I pet her gently, she responds by head-butting my hand. I love when cats do that.

"Tulip… can I lay next to you… please??" Hana makes her way over to Tulip. She didn't get told to go away, so she just sat next to Tulip. Now we're down to one more 'Mean Girl'. Grace wasn't super attached to Tulip, like Hana was. Actually, Grace used to be the leader of the 'Mean Girl' group until Tulip got a bit older. Grace had a way about her, she was super charismatic. She loved everyone as long as they loved her. She even made friends with a spider once. I don't know how. But she's a very interesting cat. I pick up the little gray tabby with white socks.

"Grace." There's a bright light again, and a ding?

[Grace has been given a trait.]

[Grace has obtained a skill.]

A trait and a skill?! How did Grace win the kitty lottery? I check the pad.

[Grace has been given a trait.]

Grace has acquired the 'Loved By All' Trait. Grace will become friends with humans, and animals quickly. She'll also be attacked less than others by monsters or wild animals.

[Grace has been given a skill.]

Grace has acquired the 'Human Trainer' skill. Grace will be able to control humans (except for master) that she has a high friendship with.

Wow! This skill seems somewhat useful. Thankfully I'm not included, I do not want to be controlled by Grace.

"Hello, Master." Her voice sounds so clean. She has matured well. She looks almost exactly like the way she was before I died. Tears start to well up and I hug her small body. She tenses up under me.

"Uh-uh Master, please let me go." She squirmed away, confused by my actions.

"I'm sorry, Grace. I just missed you." I almost started to cry. She blushed? I think?

"A-ah. I.. missed you too, Master." She seemed awkward after saying that and got down off the bed.

But Human Trainer? That's a funny skill name now that I think about it. So my cats could not only obtain a trait but possibly also a skill? I guess that is what the God of Laziness said but I just didn't expect them to get one at this stage. They all still look just a couple months old. At most 3-4 months old. Well there are 5 cats left unnamed, and these will be interesting.

Hope you enjoy~
