Niko let out a little laugh, "I'm pretty sure the cat deity wouldn't let you get out of this THAT easily." She let out a purr as she clambered down the post. "Mau would probably give you have nine lives just to torment you-" "HEY Niko!!"<br/><br/>The white cat looked past Koi's legs to see a small congregation of stray cats gathered around the cat statue, one of the toms was gnawing on the tin can. Niko rolled her eyes, and called out, "What are you guys doing?? That was an offering!" "You know as well as we do that Mau would not even look at a piece of meat stuffed in a metal can, he only takes FRESH sacrifices." One of the tortoise-shells smirked, looking at the male trying to chew his way into the impenetrable wall that was the can's exterior. Niko should have known what the cat deity liked, after all, her grandmother did take care of the place. She would come here every day and take care of the strays that came here. Niko would always tag along, helping where she could.<br/><br/>The gray tom looked up at her pleadingly, "Can you open this? Nobody has any edible stuff in the trash." "Why should I?" "Because you're the only one here that understands us and has opposable thumbs." Niko let out a sigh, changing back into her human form. She picked up the can and pulled the little tab with a metalic shrrrrrrrk. The fishy aroma quickly spread,and she put the food back down into the small crowd of meowing cats. "Either way," she said, watching them eat, "This kid is going to be under my instruction from now on, so he can understand every word you guys say." All of them looked up at her, then at Koi, with a kiniving smirk. They were certain they would have fun taunting this kid for a while.
