“Genetically, yes. My development was chemically interfered with, so this is as far as I was able to get.”
Calliope looked horrified. “Who would do such a thing?”
“Someone who died in prison.” Renner smiled.
“Ah. Right. Well, it is nice to meet you.”
Thera smiled. “Can we get Ursa now?”
Renner nodded. “Of course. You read the new cat book?”
“I did. Mom, too.”
“Good. Ursa is good-natured, but the first thing you want to introduce her to is...”
Thera nodded. “Litter box. Then have a food station with water nearby.”
“And...”
“Start her in one room and then explore as she does.” Thera smiled. “I can hold her, but if she wants to go, I should let her. She will come to me when she’s comfy.”
“Excellent, Thera.”
Calliope smiled. “She’s studied all night. I must say that I thought you would be a little flashier.”
Renner smiled and lifted her phone, showing her the photo that Vasuki had taken.
“Oh. Wow. How high are those heels?”
“Five inches. We would look eye to eye.”
“That look is...”
“What I normally look like, but today, I have to talk to a group of people that I want listening to me. So, hair is back, shoes are flat, and skin is covered.” It also hid the wound on her shoulder. “I am going to get Ursa, and then we can hit the purr bell, and you can take her home.”
Toby nodded as she went back to the quiet room with Thera behind her. Ursa was sitting on one of the low cat trees while Rigor was off killing fluffy toys.
Thera petted her softly, and the blue eyes opened while Ursa meowed. The transport box was soon holding the pretty kitty, and they were back on their way to the front.
Calliope paid the adoption fee, and Thera carried the box carefully. Renner smiled as they pressed the button that sent a purr through the facility. Another adoption complete.
Thera was smiling. “You said I could call you if I had questions, right?”
“I did.”
“And Uncle Than has your number?”
Calliope giggled. “He does?”
“He does. I gave it to him at a party. He chose not to use it for its intended purpose, but he has it.”
“My brother must be having a rare moment of idiocy.”
“Lady Fen interrupted our introduction. She’s changed her mind, but I haven’t heard it from her lips. Anyway, enjoy settling Ursa into her new home today. She’s a very sweet cat who loves cuddles.”
Calliope nodded and said, “See you soon, Renner.”
She paused. “Oh, just a minute. Thera, can you open the case?”
