A wild kitten chase (Karl, Chris, George, Spock)

[ltlbtovik]

The hangover, thankfully, had passed with the hypo Dr. McCoy had given her, and after some rest - and a pleasant encounter with an orange kitten in the corridor- Nora definitely felt like she could go back to her normal routine. Even if she didn't feel like a mess, though, she knew she looked like one; one glance in the mirror was enough to confirm

He'd lost the cats. The cats were gone. The door had been closed, all good, he'd gone out of the room for a minute and left Chris and George tumbling around on the floor. And the next thing he knew, he'd been cat-less.

Damn it. He was the worst cat-sitter of all time. This was exactly why he'd always had dogs -- they didn't try to sneak away. They loved you so much they followed you around and drooled happily on your hands instead of using their wily little genius brains to somehow reach the door controls and activate them and escape out into a giant maze-like spaceship...

Karl moved at a steady jog, keeping his eyes trained on the floor as he rounded a bend, so he didn't notice the young woman in front of him until he was quite close. And when he did, he didn't spend much time on pleasantries. "Hi," he panted. "You haven't seen a couple of cats recently? Young ones, like that big, orange one and a brown tabby?"

"Huh?" Nora blinked at him, her mind registering him as that actor, the one who'd been switched with Dr. McCoy a few days back. "Um, I played with the orange one a few hours ago, but I haven't seen him since. What happened? Are they okay?" She was suddenly a lot more alert; animals were kind of her soft spot.

"Hope so." He sighed deeply. "God knows how, but they got out when I wasn't watching. I just don't want them stumbling into anything dangerous."

Well, they hadn't exactly had kittens on the ship before, but there were a few places that small animals would probably think to go first. "Is there a hatch outside your quarters?" Nora asked. "If it was loose, they might have gone in there."
