Prompt: Cas and a kitty! This is the story about how Mr. Cuddles came to live with the boys.
---
He hadn’t meant to bring the cat back to Dean and Sam. Really, he hadn’t. But after the kitten peeked around a corner in the fifth town in a row that Castiel had visited in his search for his Father, he had to admit there was something about the animal that struck him as odd. Besides the fact that it had apparently managed to follow him across the country, the cat also seemed eerily familiar. For no reason Castiel could think of on his own, he felt like him and the cat… had a connection.
The cat mewled, a small, quivering noise, and took one careful step closer to the angel.
Castiel assessed that the animal was around six months old, hardly more than a baby, just old enough to survive without its mother. It looked like it wasn’t doing a very good job of living on it’s own though; its fur was shaggy and matted, and it was easy to see that it was malnourished. But it’s soul shone with a bright, persistent light. He’d never seen an animal’s soul emit such a brilliant light, and that was what finally drove him to pick up the kitten.
“What are you?” Castiel asked, but the cat simply tilted its head, staring back at Castiel with curious, awake eyes. Not even when Castiel reached out with his Grace to prod at the odd connection he felt could he find anything strange about the cat. His eyes narrowed. the cat mewled again.
“I’m going to take you to Sam and Dean,” the angel said, fully certain that he was being understood. “I do not think that you poise a threat to anyone, as I can tell your soul is pure, but you are far too particular to be a regular feline, and it could be dangerous to let you wander the streets.”
And with that, he wrapped the cat inside his coat, and spread his wings.
