Did she not catch the reference? She's white, it goes with Pepper, who is just as important as the kitten is.
Of course, Tony had tuned her out because he knew she was going to give him nothing but excuses as to why she couldn't take the time and relax with them, cute as they were.
Puttering around in the kitchen, Tony poured himself a bowl of Cocoa Puffs and slathered on the milk before he walked through to the living room. "Jarvis, put the channel on the Cartoon Network."
"I didn't realize you were five years old and couldn't locate the remote."
"Jarvis, don't be a smartass, the baby might pick up your bad habits." Yes, he so called the kitten their baby. He plopped down on the long couch and stretched out, bowl of cereal nestled where he didn't have to move much to feed himself, and Salt hopped up on the end by his feet. He kicked his toes, which got her to slap at the shoestrings of his trainers before she soon got bored and walked up the length of Tony's body.
She sat down right on top of the arc reactor and stared at him, thinking she could feel slight warmth coming from it. Then he dipped his finger in the milk and then offered some to her, the little scratchy pink tongue lapping at it quickly. He didn't even wait to finish his cereal before she was dipping her head into the side of the bowl and helping herself. Tony didn't even mind as he continued to spoon Cocoa Puffs in his mouth while the kitten helped herself to chocolatey milk.
