You find a little black kitten alone on Halloween. He has no name tag and there are no other kitties in sight.
You already have a few cats at home with Levi/Jean...... (Or both of them..... Have we done a poly with Jean and Levi on here?! Hmmm......) But what's one more kitten?
He's soooo cute! Hello Cat <3 Surprise I'm not letting this sit in my inbox for 7 weeks (like some other things oops! Sorry everyone!)
I know black kitties especially aren't treated well on Halloween. Oh that makes me mad! Literally the reason I'd be put in jail is for beating someone for abusing an animal LOL not sorry!
Also, I'll skip the poly angle on here to be safe but....I'll see you on Discord ;)
About 900 words of short scene/HC cat dad Levi fluff!
I really see Levi liking cats. They can keep to themselves, are pretty clean, low maintenance, at least some of them!
So, wandering around on Halloween to see the neighbors decorations just before dark and all the kids running around in costume.
The littlest kitten comes mewing up to you as you pass by a house and of course you reach down to pick it up.
He's pretty tiny but doesn't seem in bad condition.
You try to figure out who he belongs too but the house whos yard he came from tells you it's not there's, but there is a bunch of stray cats in the area.
You hold the kitty who purrs and settles into you and looks around for a bit but it's getting late and there's no sign of other cats.
You most certainly can't leave him, especially on this night, so.... :)
"No, no, what is that?" Levi says the moment you enter the house.
"But Levi!" You huff and explain. "What do you want me to do with him?"
He stands there shaking his head as your other cats Penny and Scout come to see what's going on.
Penny hisses and backs away, but Scout forgets all about personal boundaries and wants to see the kitten.
"He's so little." Levi is already starting to cave.
"Yeah. Wanna hold him?" You ask timidly as you try to keep Scout from scaring the little ball of fur who also seems interested in him.
Levi sighs. "Let's...give him a bath." He mumbles and heads to get some towels from the closet.
You bite your lip to keep yourself from squealing with delight and carry him into the bathroom.
Your other cats are on flea medications as they go outside with you, but this guy is way too young for that and it would be best to take him to the vet first. So, this is your option.
Levi fills up the tub just a couple inches and as you both sit on the floor you cringe, waiting for the kitten to flip out when you put his paws in the water.
"Huh. Look at that." Levi smiles and you open your eyes to see that the kitten doesn't seem to mind the water at all.
He splashes around at the ripples of water like he was made for baths.
He does protest a little when you try to wipe him with a wet cloth.
"Oh stop. You're already wet." Levi tells him after he lets out a long cry.
"Hey, stop that!" You yell to the crying adult cats on the other side of the door that want to know what's going on.
While the bathtub drains and Levi cleans up you towel cry the kitten.
"You're just so adorable, aren't you? You don't have any siblings, do you?" You baby talk to him while he purrs.
"Don't even think about it." Levi says of you already thinking about more cats.
Thankfully he's not so little he can't eat some wet cat food, and gobbles it down to the point you think he might pop. But he sure is happy.
"Better think of a name." He says of the little guy who he already loves.
You hug Levi tight. "Thank you. I didn't do it on purpose, honest!" You want him to know. But he knows.
While you finally introduce him to Scout who takes him under his paw right away, you and Levi start getting up every few minutes to hand out candy. It is Halloween, after all.
The costumes are creative and the kids all love coming to your house as you hand out the best candy.
"Thank you Mrs Ackerman! Thanks Mr Ackerman!" The ones that are old enough and know you say with wide smiles.
"Don't eat everything in one night!" You tell them, waving to parents who are waiting for their kids at the end of your driveway.
At some point Penny gets some courage and comes and meets the new kitten after watching him and Scout playing with some toys.
Turns out she kind of likes him too now that he doesn't smell so strange.
Levi gives her lots of attention, showing that there are no favorites.
"It's your new brother." You tell Penny while she washes the kitten.
After all the candy is given out (you save a few pieces for yourself, of course) and the kitten is passed out from an eventful evening, you carry him to bed.
Yes, you and Levi let the cats on the bed. Most of the time at least, until they start playing at 3am like it's time to get up. Then it's time for them to go.
Tonight though, everyone settles in easily.
Scout down by your legs, Penny leaning against Levis pillow, and the new kitten purring loudly between you two.
"Thank you Levi." You say sleepily as you lay together.
"Don't make it a habit." He jokes as he gives the kitten a pat and reaches over to rest his arm across you.
Tomorrow, you'll call the vet for his first visit, and pick out a name as you get to know his personality more.
You're very happy that he picked the very moment you passed by to show himself, as he's the perfect fit for your family.
So, what are we naming him!? Thank you for sending this :D
