Not just a cat

DC, Damian Wayne

Almost 1,000 words, enjoy!

Fun story how best detectives are too tired to tell how many cats live in their house

So, first Damian really had only one cat. It didn't last too long though, because about 5 months later, one night after long patrol he found a cat who looked a lot like his Alfred. And Nightwing assumed that it was his baby brother's cat, so it was put in the car with Robin and they went home. And just like that Damian woke up with two cats in his bed. Somehow Titus, who as always slept in his dog bed didn't mind additional cat, haven't shown any hostility towards stranger and was just waiting for a walk.

Part of Damian knew he should have told someone. But Richard complained that he was boring, so... Why not try and see how long it would take them to notice? Or so he thought at first. But the thing is, no one noticed. Not even human Alfred, he just asked if Damian was bringing cat food to patrols more often now. Which he indeed was, but also now he was feeding two cats at home.

It became boring after third month of them not seeing it. Even with obvious differences between the two, like how original Alfred was solitary creature, he tolerated Titus and Damian but preferred spending time just watching from afar. Damian called new cat Asra, because he traveled at night first time they met and because you could turn manor upside down at night and would not find him anywhere. Damian naturally stopped being concerned after fifth time he searched for his secret cat only to find him on top of the bed in the morning. He was more human friendly and could let you pet him if he wasn't in one of his moods.

Somehow both cats made an agreement to only appear together in Damian's room and only early in the morning, when everyone else was still sleeping after patrol.

Third cat wasn't intentional. It was not another test for his family to fail. But it was dark winter night and he looked cold and not fully starved but quite underweight in comparison to his other two cats. So Damian did the only right thing he could think of - he hid the cat under his cape and fell wrong on his left foot to get sent back to the cave. He even fought with Red Robin to make it less suspicious, not that he needed to do much with how little they noticed.

And now, after he taped his foot and got 'all good' from Alfred he was washing the cat with anti flea shampoo he had in his bathroom for this purpose. And wouldn't you be surprised, cat looked like Asra and Alfred the cat like they were clones (which they were not, he checked, claimed it was a school project for extra credit and had no further questions).

An hour later he had three almost identical from first sight cats sitting in a row looking at him expecting something.

"New one, this is Asra, he is second cat of this house. He likes people watching, garden and is somewhere else at the nighttime." He pointed to the cat sitting closer to the pillows. Damian always saw how different his face expression was, how he had more black whiskers. "That is Alfred, he was the first cat of the house. He is not very social but loves deeply. You will be named Thalj, like snow. Strong name. No one knows there are two cats. Please don't appear together in front of people of this house."

And he didn't appear with the others. It took about a month of feeding to even out his weight, but after that cats looked uncanny alike. And Thalj began going out around the house. Next month he was just watching, getting to know everyone who stayed at the house, which was an oddly huge number of people. And a month later he started his own unique hobby. Third cat started looking for sleeping family members and carefully laying on top of them. First victim was father. Next was Drake. After that cat could be found on top of anyone. The only nuance was, that they should be really sleeping. Passed out sleeping at best. If Brown was pretending, cat just went away, much to her dislike.

And still no one noticed that there were three cats there.

Bonus

Tim was out and about, he hasn't slept in last two days, hasn't had a good night sleep in last eight months or so. That is why when he was three demon brat's cats in the hallway he didn't do a double take. Because that would mean he'd had to sleep and he had too much left to do.

But cat who looked like it multiplied followed him into his home office. One sat at the door. Second climbed up his bookshelf. Third sat on top of his papers he had to sign.

"I have to work, I can't sleep now." And yeah, talking to a cat and his hallucinations was okay. Especially if he was only looking at the one in front of his face. "Get your tails out of my office and let me work."

But instead of being left alone, cat who was by the door ran to him, got on his lap and sat there. "Go away. You are not real. I still can count my fingers." Statement that made cat on the shelf sneeze loudly. Cat on the table tapped Tim's hand with its paw and threw a judging look at Tim. Silence that followed was only interrupted by purring of the door cat on his lap.

"Whatever. I'll sleep for an hour, okay?"

And he slept for over 10 hours with at least one cat at the room keeping an eye on him.

It's adjustable and one of the cats can be Danny Phantom on vacation or on the run after fight with his parents

Or one of the cats can be Marinette or Adrian

First fic post, why is it scary?

And if it somehow already exists, sorry

the scariest thing about the generative AI thing is how quickly people have accepted it as an indefinite, irrevocable part of their reality. people have genuinely convinced themselves that ChatGPT is the only solution to most tasks - tasks they did with their own brain without any large effort two years ago. like you know damn well all of us used to write emails ourselves why are we pretending like this is an impossible task to do with your own two hands. what's with the fucking. AI revisionism. i feel like i am going insane.

Я зв'язала шкарпетки

Так, я стала на підвіконня аби зловити світло

They are far from perfect but it's first try and they still fit
