Dinka chuckled at Nickie's position. "Well doesn't someone look like a little lion? Go on, finish your milk." He stated. taking his own advice and drinking the rest of his glas.s. He let out a satisfied sigh and put it into the pile of dirty dishes he was too lazy to wash until he couldn't stack it any higher.

He let out his last grain of sleepyness through a yawn and a stretch, then turning to a cabinet and taking out three catalogs. He studied them before putting one away and taking the other two to Nickie, laying them out in front of him. "Alrighty, Mr. Kitty. Where do you want to go?" He asked, pointing at one catalog labeled "Pets R Us" and the other a simple "Petsmart."

Nickie continued to drink from his bowl until his, yes his, human set down to books in front of him. He glanced at them before he looked up at Dinka once more. "What? He asked, "Can't read? I can't read either" He responded. He'd forgotten how or when he became a cat he simply h=lost that ability. ike he had lost the ability to use his thumbs and speech. 

"Look at that one" he said, pawing at the Petsmart magazine. "That one has a cat on it." He observed the black and white cat on the front of the glossy cover of the magazine. 

Dinka smiled, nodding as the cat pawed the magazine. "Petsmart it is then." He said, picking up the other catalog and putting it away. He thumbed through the Petsmart magazine, not really paying attention to the prices, but more to the pretty pictures. He stopped on one page labeled 'cats.' He looked around the page, stopping to look at a scratching post, a litter box, some toys and other nice items.

"I think all the other girl cats would drool over you if we bought you that." He said, pointing to a picture of a cat sitting in a toy car. He rolled his eyes, trying to imagine what person would buy a car for a cat. He hummed as his brown eyes darted from item to item, not even bothering to turn the page. He looked up at Nickie, smiling a bit. "See anything you like?" He asked, not really expecting an answer.

Nickie wasn't really as interested in the magazine as Dinka seemed to be. He was simply watching the human flip through the pages, something about that sound he was making attracted the feline's attention. Ah, what a small attention span he had now. He couldn't stand it. He felt as if part of him, his human part, was fading and going away slowly. 

"I thought that book was for you not me. Don't you like cats?" Nickie asked the human, tilting his head to the tip and flicking his tail a little. "You talk to me like I'm a human. Don't you have any friends?" Nickie asked. 

After a while of looking at the magazine, Dinka stretched again and put it away. He motioned towards the stairs and turned to Nickie. "I'm going to change, be right back." He said, and put Nickie on the floor before running upstairs. He rummaged through his messy closet, grabbing a white button up shirt and putting it on. He put on some ripped jeans and then some socks and beat up converse. He headed to the mirror and ruffled his pink hair. He then walked downstairs and picked up Nickie and grabbed his keys. "To Petsmart!" He yelled.

Once in the car, he placed Nickie in the p*censored*enger side, comforting him as he knew that pets dont really like car rides. He put the key in and turned on the radio, turning to Nickie with a smile.

Nickie was picked up and carried outside. He didn't understand why humans had to pick up cats as much as they did. didn't they understand that cats wanted to be left alone? Not picked up and carried around and messed with and talked to. Get a small yapper type dog to do these things with!

He was set in the pas.senger side seat of Dinka car. "Ohhhh. A car!" He mewed excitedly. "I haven'y been in one in forever! Though I've had to dodge alot of them! I used to have one of these you know. But now I cant drive cause now Im a cat you see..." He informed Dinka. He stood up on his back legs and placed his front paws against the window and looked outside, waiting  for the car to start. 

Dinka tilted his head at Nickie. "Wierd. It's almost as if you WANT to be in the car. Second point for special kitty." He said. He lowered down the mirror and ruffled his pink hair a bit. He then put the car in reverse, humming to himself. Suddenly, he turned up the radio as his favorite song, and his self-proclaimed theme song was on.

Today I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like picking up my phone
So leave a message at the tone
Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything

Uh, I'm gonna kick my feet up and stare at the fan
Turn the TV on
Throw my hand in my pants
Nobody's gon’ tell me I can't, nah

I'll be lying on the couch just chillin in my snuggie
Click to MTV so they can teach me how to dougie
Cause in my castle I'm the freakin man

[CHORUS]
Oh Oh, yes I said it
I said it
I said it cause I can
Today I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like picking up my phone
So leave a message at the tone
Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything

Nothing at all
Ooh hoo ooh hoo
Hoo ooh ooh
Nothing at all
Ooh hoo ooh hoo
Hoo ooh ooh

Tomorrow I wake up, do some P90X
With a really nice girl have some really nice s**

And she's gonna scream out, "this is great" (Oh my god this is great)
I might mess around and get my college degree
I bet my old man will be so proud of me
I'm sorry pops you just have to wait
[CHORUS]

No I ain't gonna comb my hair
Cause I ain't going anywhere
No no no no no no no no nooo
I'll just strut in my birthday suit
And let everything hang loose
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeahhh

Ohh Today I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like picking up my phone
So leave a message at the tone
Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything

Nothing at all
Ooh hoo ooh hoo
Hoo ooh ooh
Nothing at all
Ooh hoo ooh hoo
Hoo ooh ooh
Nothing at all

Once the song was over, he tilted his head to look at Nickie. "This is the life, eh Nickie?" He asked him for the second time since they met.

"Yeah," Nickie responded, laying down in the pas.senger side of the seat and getting himself comfortable there. "Better than being on the street." He told Dinka. "You know... even though youre a human and I am a cat I like talking to you. Even though you can not understand a word Im saying." Nickie continued. 

He loved music as a human, and he used to paint and take pictures. But something happened to him and took all of these things away from him. He never even really liked cats. They were silly creatures that were really only concerned about themselves and where they were going to get their next meal from. 

Dinka hummed to himself, patting on the steering wheel to the beat. He smiled and pulled up to a drive through. He'd get his coffee somehow. He bit his lower lip as he contemplated on what to get. He turned to Nickie. "See anything you like?" He asked amused, and ordered a Mocha latte. He drove up to the lady who bore the coffee shop's logo on her hat. He thanked her and gave her a tip. He felt good that day.

As he kept driving to Petsmart, he got a bit of whip cream on his nose. He smiled, getting it off with his finger and dabbing Nickie's nose with it. He smiled and licked some chocolate sauce off of his finger.

Dinka drank the rest of his coffee, throwing the empty cup away in a reachable garbage pail and smilling. He pulled up to a parking spot and took the keys out. He turned to Nickie, warning him. "Alright, rules. Rule number one, if there is a dog inside, you do not run away or scratch it. It'll probably be on a leash, so you won't need to worry." He looked at Nickie with stern brown eyes, knowing that the cat didn't understand.

"Rule number two, no running around and breaking toys or I'll have to pay for them. Also, don't bother the fishies, birds or hamsters." He pointed a stern finger. "Rule number three, act cute so people will come and pet you, because I've always wanted someone to pet my cat. Ready, and go!" He said, snatching Nickie up and running into the supermarket. Once inside, he put Nickie down and gazed at the long isles. "Food, litter, toys or supplies first?" He asked to both himself and Nickie.

Nickie looked up at Dinka, wating for him to get out of the care when he started going on about rules. Wait, there were rules to going to the store with this guy? He listened quietly, not daring to make a noise ast he shook his human finger at him and looked at him with his serious human eyes. 

But when the explanation was finally over and Dinka pulled him out of the care with him and into the store and out him down Kickie was in cat heaven! They were so many sights and smells and noises that he almost couldn't take it!

"Oohhh! This way! This way!" He mewed, taking off in a directiong toward a very peculiar scent. It mad his mouth water and nearly made him go crossed eyed it smelled so good. He wasn't sure if Dinka was following him, but his legs were carrying him extremely fast without him having to break into a run. 

Dinka laughed as Nickie took off. "Stupid cat." He said to himself, running after the feline. He almost skipped through the isles. Some people looked at him funny. "Eh, Nickie? Where are you now?" He asked, looking around. "Just remember the rules!" He called out, going to get a shopping cart.

He walked up and down the isles, grabbing canned tuna-flavoured cat food and a bag of FreshStep kitty litter. He then got a blue collar (to match his eyes, Dinka had said), and some toys. He bought a scratching post, a kitty jacket, and a kitty bed. He sighed after this was done, his inexperienced muscles aching from the labor. "This stuff probably cost like 200 bucks." He said. He looked around for his cat who had bounded off earlier. "Nickie? I bought your stuff, Nickie." He said.

Nickie had made his way to one of the cat toy sections quickly and had zipped down it to find whatever it was that he was looking for and what was drivng him so crazy. He mewed up at one of the towering shelfes filled with dangling, fuzzy, shiney, bouncey, noisey, smelly things. It was up there, he knew it. 

He paced at the bottom shelf, comtemplating on jumping. But which shelf? He lept, catching himself easily and gracefull and starting smelling. He found whatever it was soon atfer and pawed it to the ground and lept after it. It was a mouse but it smelled so good! So... intoxicating! So wonderful.

He flopped to his side, unable to take the scent anymore and loved on the mouse. Chewing it and drigging his claws into it. He rubbed all over the mouse, wanting to smell like it too. Was this what love felt like?
