Sophia/Frederick
If she didn't have her own BINX she might have been a little shocked by a talking cat with glowing eyes. But she had her own 'kitty' back home. She offered the cat a little smile, but it was forced. She really didn't feel like smiling today. She wasn't sure anybody did.
"No it's not. I've been doing this for a long time. It never gets any easier." Especially not when the people were close. Sophia knelt down and gently stroked her hand over Frederick's fur. "Are you Dr. Redel's BINX? Or did you follow someone else?" He was really a pretty cat.
