[Accidental video post]

[There's a bunch of noise and static before people see a cat paw clawing at the screen and a curious meow coming from it. Eventually the screen becomes less blurry as they see an up close view of an orange tabby kitten trying to chew the top corner of the data pad.

There's some noise in the background of someone taking apart a heavy metal piece. That quickly stops and there's some clanking as tools are placed down and a wary sigh follows.]

Millicent! What did I say about leaving that alone?! You have your own toys to play with.

[The feed is abruptly turned off as a gloved hand picks up the orange tabby and pockets the device.]

First truth about cats, pal: you can't 'proof' anything from them. Just try to give them approved things to scratch and watch anything breakable you have near edges.

Also know they're gonna want food. A lot. Especially when they already have food.

[Steve might not have been able to own cats but the apartments around him loved the strays. A few doctor visits might have come from the visits he had where he learned these tips]

They sound like they're demanding creatures. I was under the impression they were independent.

[brooklyn_boy]

Yeah. They're that too. Whatever suits them better at the moment. You'll learn.

Reminds me of someone I know, but Millie is more appealing.

[Steve smiles lightly, understanding the sentiment of that even if he doesn't know the specifics]

Oh yeah? Family member?

[tiedonastring]

Hardly. It's a sore subject.

[Steve holds his hands up, surrendering]

Sorry to bring it up, then.
