"Yeah, sorry about that." Kate had the decency to sound a little apologetic about bringing the pony along. She was certainly earning herself a reputation as a stray magnet. Her friends from college, after Kate sent her mandatory selfies with the mini-horse, had started teasing her about being a Disney princess who attracted critters with her songs. Maybe with cussing, in her case. "But, like Laura said, you have to admit it was a pretty original Father's Day gift." Better than another 'Best Dad in the World' mug for sure.

"Hey, it might be grounding to Matt. You know, stick to one lady from now on?" Oh, God. She felt bad jumping into the train of 'messing around with Matt's dating reputation', but it was served on a silver plater! "Yeah, sounds good." The ginger, Kate could already tell would be a handful. He was curious, trying to climb onto her shoulder and meowing as Kate attempted to hold him down. A little fighter, no doubt about it.

It shouldn't have been a surprise, the fact that it was the little guy who interrupted the moment. Because walking in to find Matt in an apron and making himself part of the family already? Kate smiled at the warm sensation that spread on her chest.

Before that little devil attempted to do a kamikaze jump to reach the chicken, that is...

"Humm, Matt? I think there's someone you need to meet." Specially if that meant putting some distance between these kittens and that chicken.

Taking the calico from Clint, Kate approached Matt with both kittens. "Hey," she said softly as they both meowed, clearly eager to explore more of the world. Even better, if that meant getting treats in the process.
