The Story of Leo, Part 2
Part 1
Leo loved living with the boy and the girl and Selena and Norman. Unfortunately, Selena and Norman had never gotten past tolerating each other, and viewed the young, energetic, beautiful house panther with distaste, and did not care for his company at all. Not wanting to part company with the beautiful house panther, the boy and the girl instead decided to find a young companion for him. After some searching, they found a pretty polydactyl girl named Polly, who was about half of Leo's age. And looked enough like him they could be siblings -- and so in truth siblings they became!
Unfortunately for Leo, Polly came with more than extra toes: she also came with a cold. And while the beautiful house panther was quarantined from Pretty Polly for a while, he was so curious about her that he kept sniffing, and eventually caught her cold! And had it far worse than she did, for she was at the end of it, while he caught it anew. Leo, despite being a beautiful house panther, soon spent a miserable week with every disgusting symptom of a cold.
However, this is where he learned that being wet wasn't always bad! Unlike the terrible, unforgiving, mean streets where it sometimes got cold and wet, in the house with the boy and girl it was possible to be *warm* and wet! While this was still not great news, even for a beautiful house panther, being around all that warm water helped him breathe better! And he was given extra tasty food, as much as he wanted!
Leo decided that he liked when the boy and girl would go into the hot water place, and started to join them.
But all of that was dwarfed by finally being able to meet his sister, Pretty Polly. The beautiful house panther had nothing but love to offer, and he and his new sister bonded instantly. Leo was determined to be a good older brother, and constantly showed Polly the things she needed to know -- firstly how to cat, and secondly how to be a *good* cat. Under his loving tutelage, Pretty Polly learned to love the boy and girl, and the house was much better than the previous places she lived. And there was always food -- even for a Pretty Polly who wanted to watch her figure.
With Polly around to keep him company, the beautiful house panther was finally able to let Selena and Norman rest, and not have to try to entertain the very energetic teenager. Everyone settled down into a comfortable hierarchy, with Fluffy Norman on top, Silly Selena a cautious but clear second, and the beautiful house panther simply basking in the love of the boy, the girl, and Pretty Polly.
