Chương 68: Ch 38a – Memory: Cat

Mr George is purring loudly and looking up at her with big, expectant eyes. She reaches down to scratch his head. He closes his eyes and leans back into her fingers. His ginger fur is warm and soft. She moves to massage the sweet spot under his ear, feeling the vibration of his purr.

"Cara," Gran warns, "stop petting the cat at the table." Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit. She snatches her hand back and dutifully eats a mouthful of peas. Mr George rubs against her leg, pads in a circle, then sits back down. His tail curls around his paws as he looks pleadingly up at her. Checking that Gran isn't looking, she flicks a piece of fish off her plate and onto the floor. By the time she risks looking down, Mr George is licking the last flake from the floor.

He looks up at her. Meows.
