6. Angel

The newest member of Félicie's household was a curious little lady. She walked through the hallway as if she had always been living here. She inspected every room, shadowed by Catrelle, who pretended to not care much about the newcomer, and that it was a mere coincidence that she happened to go where the new girl went. Félicie kept a close eye on both cats, and she was glad that Caterelle wasn't showing any signs of hostility so far.

The newly arrived explorer found the stash of Caterelle's toys. She sniffed at them carefully, but made no attempts to mark them as hers. Their owner seemed to be pleased with that display of respect and blinked slowly, which made Félicie chuckle. The new one also didn't attempt to claim any of Caterelle's favourite lounging spots. Instead, she tested a few places that Caterelle had never showed much interest in.

"Well, aren't you a well-behaved little angel?", Félicie cooed after the cat had finished her exploration, and petted the her, who purred in response. Caterelle immediately came running, and pushed herself against Félicie, demanding attention as well.

"Look who got jealous", she teased and petted the long-established feline. Somehow the shared attention eased Caterelle and she moved right next to the new cat, who seemed to be confused by the sudden closeness. But since the purring from the established cat didn't stop, she relaxed as well.

"You clearly put a spell on her" Félicie smiled. The new cat yawned in response.

"I know, as lovable as you are, nobody can resist you, you little angel."

Seconds later, the cat was named Angélique.
