As far as Elijah knew, this cat was either a stray or the new pet to either Elena or her friend Caroline. While they hadn't asked if it was okay, he would never deny either of them anything that would make them happy. The more he thought about it, the more he decided that it had to be a pet. There was no way a random stray could have gotten into the hosue. For now, he would pet the kitten to calm it down until whomever its owner was came to claim it.
"It's okay pretty girl, we'll figure out who you belong to in no time."
