I followed you within minutes of you showing up. If Trae does come here, I'll wait a couple hours to follow him. How's that?

Found this one abandoned as a kitten in a forest preserve. She demanded I take her in. Who was I to say no? (After a police report/stray hold/ spaying & vaccination)

Fun fact: the dye starts out orange and then turns green after several seconds of hydration.
