"Clawdia, I'm home," I called out as I closed my apartment door behind me. There was no response, but then I wasn't really expecting one. A dog would have come running to greet me at the door. Clawdia would have been insulted at the notion and would have sulked in the closet for a week if I ever suggested it.
"Oh, Clawdia?" Still no response. She was going to make me look for her.
She wasn't on the sofa, or under the table, so I turned off the livestream of birds and squirrels I had left playing for her on the TV when I went to work this morning.
She wasn't in the kitchen, but her cereal bowl was empty, so I refilled it from a box of Raisin Bran. Clawdia likes the texture contrast between the crispy flakes and the chewy raisins. I also refilled her water bowl with fresh water and put both back down on the floor for her. I was heading to the bedroom next, but a faint jingling caught my attention.
"There you are, silly girl. I should have guessed you'd be in here."
I found her in my study, sitting up on the junior mattress that I had positioned on the floor to catch a beam of late afternoon sunlight. She must have been napping. She was wiping the sleep from her eyes with the back of her paw. She wore her cat-ears headband in her hair and a floofy tail that hung from the garter belt around her waist. The deep purple silk collar around her throat was embroidered with 'Pretty Kitty Princess' and adorned with an antique silver bell that was a pain in the ass to polish. I had bought it for her last birthday.
Otherwise, Clawdia was stark naked, because cats don't wear clothes. At least that's what she says, and I am not about to correct her.
God, she was hot, sitting there completely unabashed by her nudity, giving herself a tongue bath as if it was the most normal thing in the world to be doing. The sunbeam shimmered in her hair and cast seductive shadows across her bare skin. Her plump tits bobbed with every swipe of her foreleg. Her tail curled demurely around her hip and across her lap as she sat with her legs tucked up beneath her. A trail of paw-print tattoos climbed up her thigh from her knee to her hip.
"Did you miss me while I was at work?" I asked as I leaned over to stroke her hair and give her a scritch behind her ear. There were other places I wanted to put my hands, but I resisted.
"Me-errw," she squeaked, finally deciding to acknowledge my presence.
"Y'know, there was note taped to the door from Mrs. Meggler across the way," I told her.
"Sssss," Clawdia gnashed her teeth and recoiled from my touch.
"Let's see what she has to say, shall we?"
With feline apathy, Clawdia shifted her position on her bed and did that yoga thing where she lifted one leg straight up in the air holding it next to her face. Continuing with her tongue bath, she began to casually lick her knee. I'll admit, I was distracted for a moment or two before I forced my eyes back to the unfolded paper in my hand.
"That harlot was parading around in her birthday suit in front of your window again," I read aloud from the handwritten note. "The landscapers were trying to work on our public green space and her shameless display was a constant distraction. I have warned you about her lewd behavior before, and now I shall have to get the Tenant's Association involved."
If I didn't know any better, I'd say there was a sly smile curling the corner of Clawdia's lip. But of course, cats don't smile. Our nosey neighbor can complain all she likes, but I know the public indecency laws in this town and as long as Clawdia is on this side of the glass, the fault lies with whoever is looking in.
Besides, the old guy who runs the Tenant's Association lives in the apartment above Mrs. Meggler, and he likes it when Clawdia visits.
"Did you have fun watching the people outside the window? Hm?" I asked, giving her another scritch behind the ear. "Did everyone see what a pretty little kitten I have? Did they?"
"Me-eew," Clawdia purred and she pitched forward onto her hands and knees. Crawling in a circle around me, she stroked her face and ribs against my leg. The caress of one of her pendulous breasts against my calf as she crawled in a circle around me started my dick swelling in my pants.
"Yes they did, because I have the prettiest little floofy cat, don't I? Hm? I have the prettiest little floofer, and everyone who walks past that window knows it, don't they?"
As a reward for my fawning compliments, Clawdia rolled over on her back and stretched out long and lean for me. Her hind legs opened enough for me to catch the scent of her arousal and see the glistening between her thighs. I knew this was all turning her on and part of me wanted to drop my pants and take her right then and there on the study floor.
But that's not how the game is played.
"Yeah, you're such a good girl, aren't you?" Instead I reached down and tousled her belly. Almost instantly she attacked my hand, playfully swatting with her forepaws and raking my arm with her hind paws.
"Oh, you want to play?" I asked, jerking my hand back.
"Me-erp!" she chirped, rolling up to her hands and knees and looking up at me expectantly.
"Alright, come on. Let's go find your ribbon." As I turned to walk out towards the living room, Clawdia stood up and dashed ahead of me.
While cats don't normally walk around on their hind legs, they do walk with a sultry, tail-swishing grace that can not be emulated by clomping around on your hands and knees. Clawdia prefers to stay true to the sensual spirit of a cat's walk rather than the anatomical accuracy.
With her bare ass swaying from side to side, her tail flicking back and forth, and her bell jingling, she pranced ahead of me to the living room and then dropped down to her knees next to her toy box. She rubbed her face on the corner purring gently until I caught up and pulled out a bright pink length of satin ribbon.
As I flicked the dangling ribbon back and forth, Clawdia would bat at it with her paws and try to catch it in her teeth. When I jerked the ribbon out of her grasp, she would feign indifference until I let the end lie still on the ground, then she would turn and pounce.
Eventually she tired of the game, climbed up on the sofa, and sat on her knees with an attentive look of anticipation.
"All done?" I asked.
"Me-erp," she replied. Her forepaws were in her lap and she pulled her shoulders back putting her pert tits on full display for me.
"And you think you deserve a treat just for playing a game?"
At that, Clawdia looked away with an air of disdainful nonchalance and started grooming her left shoulder and fore leg with her right paw. She knew damn well she was going to get a treat and wasn't about to demean herself by begging for it.
