WHO: Jason Todd, Rose Wilson
WHERE: The infamous apartment
WHEN: Dec 28th evening
WARNINGS: No animals were harmed in the creation of this log
SUMMARY: a stray kitten follows Jason home......
FORMAT: Quicklog



The fluffy gray cat looked up at him and meowed. "Shoo, get the hell out of here," Jason pushed the kitten with his foot in the opposite direction. He had hoped that roughing the small thing up enough would encourage it to stay away from him. That wasn't really the case. The cat had managed to follow him all the way home and was conveniently sitting at the threshold of the apartment.

"Chinese and beer," Jason grinned. "You might be better off on the streets."

He placed the cat back down on the floor and stood up. "Well, if we're keeping the damn thing, it's gotta be litter trained, or hell, learn how to use the damn toilet."

"Ew," Rose replied, almost instinctually. "Yeah, you have fun with that one. It likes you, so it'll listen to you better."

[lolnotdead.livejournal.com]

He rolled his eyes, "Gee thanks."

The cat began to rub itself against Jason's leg while purring quite loudly. "The thing needs a name now too," he looked over at Rose.

Rose was rather amused at how quickly Jason softened up to the idea of keeping the cat. She set her brush back in the bathroom and strode over, sitting down next to him and poking the cat 'til it noticed her. At his glance, she pouted her mouth a little in thought.

"I dunno if it's a girl or a boy," she mused. "So call it Ash or something."

[lolnotdead.livejournal.com]

"Ash sounds good, a lot better than naming it Rose or something," Jason smirked.

"I'll get whatever crap it needs tomorrow morning," he walked over to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator to pull out some cold cuts.

"Don't listen to him," she cooed at the cat, scratching under its chin, "he's just mad 'cause he's got a unicorn named after him."

[lolnotdead.livejournal.com]

"Shut up about that," he waved the piece of salami in the air. "I regret ever buying you that stupid thing."

Jason bent down to feed the kitten small shreds of meat.

[ravishravage.livejournal.com]

"Aw, come on," Rose prodded teasingly. "It's part of your sixy-seven-step process to becoming a decent guy. That was...what. Step two? One? I keep forgetting."

[lolnotdead.livejournal.com]

"Very funny," Jason made a face. "Is taking in a stray cat anywhere in the process?"

[ravishravage.livejournal.com]

"I think that's right before you start singing to woodland creatures," she retorted with a grin. "But crawl before you can walk; that image is extremely disturbing right now. See, even Ash agrees."

She smirked down at the mewling cat.

[lolnotdead.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I don't think I plan on ever completing this program," he snorted. "It's not worth the trouble."

Jason tugged Ash's tail to gain it's attention.

[ravishravage.livejournal.com]

"It's gonna claw your hand off if you do that," Rose remarked, watching the cat react. "And you'll deserve it."

[lolnotdead.livejournal.com]

"I'm not pulling hard," Jason continued to tug while it meowed, trying to get a hold of his hand.

[ravishravage.livejournal.com]

She laughed a little, tilting her head at him. "Are you the same guy who was all 'hurr, no pets allowed ever, grr' not twenty minutes ago?"

[lolnotdead.livejournal.com]

Jason twitched and glowered, "I never said all of that, I just didn't want to keep it because it would have been too much trouble." He tugged its tail a little harder.

"But seeing as it's already made itself a home it can't be hel--ow," Jason pulled his hand back, Ash being dragged half way before losing its grip on his hand.

[ravishravage.livejournal.com]

"Told you so."

Rose reached over and picked Ash up, setting it on her lap and glancing down at his hand. "Any blood?"

[lolnotdead.livejournal.com]

"Damn thing can be vicious when it wants to be," Jason looked down at his hand, nothing but a few claw marks. "Barely, I'll survive."

[ravishravage.livejournal.com]

"It's channeling you," she remarked lightly, letting the cat climb off and wander about the room. "Does what it wants, only takes so much crap before giving people a piece of its mind, sheds..."

[lolnotdead.livejournal.com]

"Sounds a whole lot more like you than me," Jason glared while he rubbed his hand.

[ravishravage.livejournal.com]

"Newsflash," Rose sighed, leaning back on the palms of her hands, "we're kinda alike. And I guess the cat is, too."

[lolnotdead.livejournal.com]

"Good to know," Jason looked over to see Ash wandering in and out of the bedroom. "That means the cat's gonna be a pain in the ass and nag a whole lot."

[ravishravage.livejournal.com]

"And you'll put up with it and secretly love it," Rose retorted with a smirk.

[lolnotdead.livejournal.com]

Jason rolled his eyes, "Yeah because we all know what a masochist I am."

[ravishravage.livejournal.com]

She sat up, leaning her face over towards his ear. "Cat scratchings, tongue lashings...what else?"

[lolnotdead.livejournal.com]

"Ngh," he moved back away from her. He hated it when he was conscious of distance between them or lack there of. "Wouldn't you like to know..."
