[KOS-MOS is just walking along the street. Some people might think she's going shopping but since she isn't human, there's no need. She doesn't work today so it seems she's just patrolling. Or learning more of the cities layout.

Her expression though looks like she wants to be sighing. She turns her NV to look behind her... Where a small, colorful kitten is following her. It has no collar but some people don't put collars on their cats so...]

It has been following me for ten minutes. I have attempted to coax it to return to its mother or owner but it won't be swayed.

[Why is it following her? And what should she do about it]

If anyone has lost this feline, please alert me and I will bring it to you. It seems intent on following me anywhere.

[She could jump onto a rooftop to avoid it but... dammit, she shouldn't have to go that far.]

That kitty is probably following you because it likes you. You're going to have a hard time getting it to change its mind. Cats are very stubborn. Cute, though! If it keeps following you, you should just keep it. Maybe name it Fluffyface or Captain Kitty or something like that.

How cute! [ Giggle. ]

It looks like you've made a new friend.

I cannot care for a feline. My current manner of employment keeps me quite busy, as well as fighting the monsters during the evening.

[How's an android supposed to take care of a kitten anyway?]

[ Video ]

[needtobecleaned]

[This is awkward but thank god, KOS-MOS can't recognize that it is.]

How could I have made a friend when it started following me of it's own whim?

[ Video ]

[ella_of_frell]

Well, obviously the kitty liked you, otherwise she -- or is it a he? -- wouldn't have started to follow you.

Cats are a pretty good judge of people. [ Except Hattie's devil cat. That thing is evil in fur. ]

I'm sure you could make time if you wanted to. Besides, how are you going to explain that to that little ball of fuzzy love that has attached itself to you? Wouldn't you be happier if you just pet it and hugged it?

[needtobecleaned]

I haven't taken the liberty of checking its gender.

[KOS-MOS just makes a face.]

I am not capable of caring for an animal.

Video

[needtobecleaned]

I am not capable of speaking with animals, I wouldn't be able to explain it even if I wished to.

[ Video ]

[ella_of_frell]

Have you tried?

To care for an animal I mean, not about the gender.

[ Video ]

[needtobecleaned]

No, it has never been necessary.

Re: Video

[archangelflonne]

Animals understand better then you might think! They can be pretty smart if they want to be. Particularly the cute ones. Like kitties, and bunnies. Particularly kitties and bunnies.

Well, if you've ever had the need for companionship, cats are pretty self sufficient as far as pets go. Not like dogs. Or even wolfdogs.

............

[ Just. STARING. ]

It looks hungry.

[ Video ]

[needtobecleaned]

I've never needed companionship.

[Not to say that she doesn't enjoy being around people. On occasion.]

Video

[needtobecleaned]

Then it should understand that I am not human. I may not be capable of providing what it may want.

[needtobecleaned]

[Looking between her NV and the kitten.]

How is it you are able to tell?

[ Video ]

[ella_of_frell]

You don't get lonely? Actually, do you live alone?

[ She's probably treading close to personal questions, but she's just curious. She can't help it! ]

Re: Video

[archangelflonne]

Not being human doesn't even matter in the slightest! I'm not human either, you know. A lot of people here aren't human. But you don't have to be human to feel love!

[meddler]

It looks like a stray.

[ and we all know what you do with those... ]

[swordandbells]

How cute! It must really like you.

If he does not seem to have an owner there, you could take hm to the Caregood Pound. They would be able to check if he was microchipped.

[beyondmeasure]

He must want something to eat!

Video

[needtobecleaned]

Are you flesh and blood though?

[ Video ]

[needtobecleaned]

Lonely?

[She never thought about that. Part of her missed her friends but...]

I am not bothered by being alone.

[needtobecleaned]

[But KOS-MOS doesn't!]

A stray? What am I meant to do with it?
