There was a gray-and-white Scottish Fold, so cute it could melt your heart.
There was a Turkish kitten, white all over except for its gray flanks, and just as adorable.
The rest were two American Shorthairs and two civets.
No wonder there was an artificial coconut grove. It was probably to simulate a tropical environment for the civets.
She had seen this type of civet in Arkanan before; they were the kind used to produce kopi luwak.
She hadn't expected Howard to have such refined tastes, raising his own civets.
As she approached the wire mesh fence, a group of adorable cats raised their tails and came toward her.
She was prepared. She stuck her hand slightly through the wire mesh and opened her palm, which held crumbled cookies.
The cats, at first wary, scrambled to snatch the crumbs from her hand.
"You're all so cute," she cooed, adding a playful "meow." She played with the kittens, and time flew by.
