"You don't need stripes to be a tiger, do you?" she crooned to the little kitten. "Besides, haven't you heard of giving a child a name of power to give them strength later in life? I bet it'd work for kittens, too!" She smirked at him. "Don't we have kittens to bathe and feed?"

"What, you have a better idea?" Lex grinned. She pointed to the long haired grey kitten. "That one is Toe because she has one tiny, tiny spot on her paw that might actually be something dirty, but it's on her toe tips. This one," she pointed at the smallest of the group, "is Tiger!"

"Eeny, Meeny, Minie, Moe, Catch, Tiger, and Toe!" she called back to him cheerfully.

"I didn't see any, and I've had 'em before," she replied, happily petting the kittens. "If they do have fleas, I'll pay for your place to be fumigated or whatever."

By the time Cooger returned, Lex had made herself comfortable on his bed and had all seven of the kittens on top of and around her. She was smiling and fussing with the long-haired black one as it sat on her chest. She looked up when he finished giving her the run-down. "I think we're good...

"Sounds good to me," Lex agreed. She scooped up the grey kitten and snuggled it gently in her hands. "I'll play with this one while we wait."

"I can stick around to give you some help," Lex offered. "A fun little bath with kittens, feeding them, maybe getting bit and peed on. Sounds like fun!"

"Nah, there's no way I could take one of these little guys - girls - home with me. What would I do with a cat?" Lex smirked. Despite her words, she was still petting the little tortishell cat, rubbing its head lightly with her thumb. "I see you haven't put your little one down. Has she...

Lex glanced at the cat and withdrew her hand. "Right. Sorry. I didn't even think of that. Good point." She very lightly tapped the long-haired troublemaker on its head. "You heard him. Behave! And I might take you home with me." She looked at one of the dark-colored calicos wobbling...

"I have no idea how to react to the dog anus thing," Lex admitted, "but I follow the logic. So, providing they don't have any big problems, when will they be able to go to new homes?" She idly played with the "spicy" one, letting it do what it wanted with her calloused hands. Needle teeth and...

Lex giggled, putting her hand in with the kittens and letting them react how they wanted to. "Aw, sweet little things! So cute! You said they need to visit the vet's, but what will happen to them after that?"

Lex stared at the kitten. "Oh. My. Gawd. That is so adorable," she breathed. "I swear I'm about to squeal like a teen girl at a boy band concert." She reached out and used one finger to gently stroke the kitten's head. "All girls? Really? What are the odds with that?" She was seriously...

Lex headed down and gathered the required items, making certain she got a carrier that was nice and roomy for multiple kitties. She tossed a couple of blankets over her shoulder and headed back upstairs. "How do they look?" she asked trying to figure out how to set down the carrier without a...

"Do you have one around here I can go grab?" Lex asked, turning to go already, eager to help. It was that or stand there and simp over how adorable he looked with those kittens. His soft, gentle hands, his kind voice.... Box. She needed to find a box.

Lex almost made a joke about how this was not how she expected the first time she saw his bedroom to go, but she bit it back. She set the hatchet down and followed him, curious about his room and truly hoping the kittens were okay. What if they were sick? Or covered in fleas?
