Purchasing a Feline Friend (Open)

[justus]

The Magical Menagerie was an extremely noisy shop. Dogs and Crups barked and whined, owls hooted, mice and rats squeaked, a pig squealed balefully, a bat shrieked, a caged lynx growled at the people around it. And on top of it all, the cats meowed, hissed, purred, howled, growled, snarled, chortled, sneezed, and hacked.

It was packed with people on the blazing hot August day. Both the animals and the people were restless, sweaty, and roasting under the summer sun. Eamon fought is way through the crowd toward a harried looking store clerk. "Excuse me!" He half-yelled to be heard above the din. "Could you direct me to the cats?" The clerk pointed him to a door at the back of the store.

Pulling it open, he stepped into the room. Old-fashioned, dark, and smelling of must and cat excrement, the room was filled with cage upon cage of cats. Tabbies, Persians, Long hairs, Short hairs, Tortise shells, Siamese, Rexes, Manxes, of all size, colour, and shape. Eamon noticed, after turning his attention away from the cats, that he was alone in the room. No one wanted an old-fashioned cat anymore. They wanted a bat, or a tiger, or a wolverine to keep them company. Eamon reached up a hand to stroke a handsome black Tom with a forefinger. What he wanted was a good, friendly, patient cat for a companion.

Krissy had made her way into the pet store, she wasn't expecting it to be this crowded. She needed to pick up some more food for her pets. Cat food, dog food, mice food, owl pellets and perhaps some other stuff. Krissy loved animals and wanted to work with them later in life, so it wasn't a surprise that she owned so many. She was useless in shops such as this one, she tended to feel sorry for the animals and want to take them all home with her. Well we'd see what this trip would bring. Krissy decided that seeing as there were already a ton of people crouded around the dog food that she'd head into the back room and grab some of the cat food. Also perhaps see some of the cats. Krissy waved to the shop keeper as she headed to the room, they knew her pretty well by now. She came in alot.

Krissy was surprised when she entered the room full of cats. It was relatively empty, unlike the rest of the store. Infatc there was only one other figure in the room. An old man stroking a cat. "Nice looking cat that one" Krissy said with a smile to him "It's got a good temperment too" she said with a smile "I was playing with him yesterday" Krissy gave the man a smile and headed to the far end of the room where stacked in large piles at the back were very large boxes of cat food. Krissy tended to perfer to buy her pet food in bulk, turned out cheaper and when she went to hogwarts helped out better.

Looking toward the entrance as the door swung open. A girl entered smiling at him and telling him about the cat. "Yes, he does seem quite laid-back." He murmured in reply. He would go back to that cat, but he wanted to look at the other felines first. They all had small tags showing their name, if they had one, and their powers, which most did have.

Other then the black tom, he chose several other favourites. A grey long hair, who had purred and rubbed his head against Eamon's fingers, a beautiful tortoise shell who's fur actually shimmered like multicoloured grass in the wind, a minuscule Russian blue who meowed the Russian anthem, an immensely large brown tabby that could dance the Waltz, Tango, Quickstep, and Slow Fox-trot. "Beatiful, aren't they." He said, more to himself then to the girl.

"All creatures are though aren't they?" Krissy responded to the man. She had reached the far wall and had hoisted up one of the large boxes of dry cat food and was carrying it over to the other side of the room. She had to get some of the canned food soon too but the boxes were big and she'd need to go ack for it. Krissy's eyes looked back at the man having reached the area near the door and placed the box down. "I just perfer seeing them in their natural habitat's rather than in cages like this" It would probably seem to anyone who didn't know her but knew how many pets she had hppocritical. But Krissy as soon as buying any pet gave them the option to go free or to come with her and gave them quite a bit of free range being her pets. They all were loyal to her and stayed with her. One thing which she was quite glad of.
