Why No Love For Cats? [Jennifer]
Jake had no new messages.
Well, that wasn't entirely true.
When he finally made it back home to the apartment that he shared with Jennifer, Jake discovered the newspaper personal ads. At first, he was shocked. Then he was confused. And, much to his dismay, Jennifer had not been home to explain it to him. But just because he was cat didn't mean he wasn't smart. Cats were very smart creatures, after all. Smarter than some people. And Jake was no ordinary cat. He was from a race of felines who had overcome their life on land. They had taken to the skies. Then to the stars. They were scientists, doctors, researchers, space travelers. A fine race of beings hoping to do good in the universe. (And meet others like them on their way.)
But nobody here was interested in him.
There had been a message for him on the telephone. Jake didn't know how The City had figured out the number for the phone at the apartment for him and Jennifer (nor did he know how The City knew how to distinguish messages between the two of them,) but that didn't seem to matter. What mattered was that, after looking through the personal ads, Jake was curious. He would like to meet someone special. Someone who could be a companion to him. Someone who understood him. It would be nice to share a can of tuna with a Siamese or a Persian or even a domestic shorthair like himself. So, when he saw that a message was blinking on the phone, he was very excited.
"Jake! I think this is you! I miss you, it's Kaylee. You really should call me. We still haven't had a chance to go over spaceships together. I have a new shop too, I'll show you it later! Number's 395-8627. I do miss you. And I've got tuna!"
