「But I didn’t see its mom.」
「Look at this.」
Noticing my face crumple at the thought of having to abandon the kitten, Dad gently explained.
「The kitten isn’t dirty, right? It’s clean because the mother cat keeps it that way. The mother cat probably wasn’t there because she was out hunting to feed her kitten.」
「...Really?」
「Did Dad ever lie to you?」
「So, what should we do with the kitten?」
Realizing that I had taken the kitten without knowing it had a mother, I suddenly felt worried.
How would the mother react when she found her kitten missing?
「Do I have to put the kitty back?」
「That would be best, but if the kitten has the scent of a human on it, the mother might abandon it.」
「Then... We can just keep the kitty at our house!」
I cried out urgently, which made Dad look even more troubled
「Your mom doesn’t like pets.」
「Can’t we keep it hidden?」
