Gently she strokes the small kitten from forehead to back. She does this a couple times to comfort the tiny creature before turning to climb the stairs.]

Yet she always lamented that the wards on her house meant that not even a stray cat would come by. Tohsaka would always have to make due with stationary, patterned pajamas, aprons, and the like with the image of cats.]
