Boomerang - One YearImage posted by the memberRed Classic Tabby
Katrina had overheard someone talking about a thing a prefect had set up to pamper pets. Boomerang, Katrina's kitten, was long overdo a clean and brush and a trimming of his dagger like nails. It only took Katrina a click of her tongue and a "here kitty, kitty, kitty," and Boomerang was racing down the hallway and jumping into Katrina outstretched arms. She wanted to give Boomerang a thank you pamper day.

When Katrina arrived, she took a moment to take in all of the little stations and wave to the large amounts of pets all over. Boomerang instantly leapt out of Katrina's arms and began greeting everyone. He batted a few other cat's tails which Katrina took to mean that he knew them, he sort of nodded to a few owls and blinked slowly at a few reptiles. It seemed Boomerang knew all the pets. He rubbed against a few students as well, and Katrina furrowed her brow, how did he know them? she didn't even know them. It seemed Boomerang had somehow picked up friends in his many travels.

"C'mere Boomerang," Katrina murmured, clicking her tongue to call him over. He sauntered over, rubbing against her as she plopped him on a table by one of the tubs of water. She grabbed a rag and dampened it, starting to wipe at his messy matted hair from being out in the rain all day. Boomerang didn't look excited about it, but he was tolerating it for now, so that was good.

She didn't like that Boomerang was outside so much, especially since it made him look so neglected. However, every time she tried to lock him in her dorm, he found a way out and made it his goal to trail behind her all day, just out of sight. His mischievousness would be his downfall. But for now, it only made his cleaning harder and take longer.

After a while, she had worked out the dirt and dust and he was back to being the small kitty with pretty fur. The rag however, looked disgusting, covered in the dust and dirt that had accumulated on Boomerang. He had resigned to 'loafing' as Katrina like to call it, with is paws tucked under him and his tail flicking in a warning to not get him wet. "I know, you don't like getting wet, but if I don't get this out then you'll be all matted," Katrina grabbed a few treats from the table at the entrance and bribed Boomerang to stay longer.

This would be a bit easier with someone else to help.
This is an errand thread for this errand, main thread here. Open to all Gryffs for our pets, and us, to meet. Totally not me trying to bribe more gryffs into more house points, haha, ha, ha

There's always that the anxiety of wanting to fit in, no one wants to be excluded. That goes for pets, some people had some of the more foreseen animals that are common for most wizards, be it muggle-borns or pure-bloods / wizard-borns, are cats or owls.

Those were cool, Remi wanted a cat. A slick two-tone cat, that would have been awesome but even with somewhat rich pure-blood parents who can purchase a villa, got extra rooms in the house, and so on. They couldn't cough up a couple of knuts for a cat.

And that's where Toady the Frog comes into the picture, this is Remi's first pet that he had to take care of, and sure, Toady wasn't cat-tier of interest but she was pretty bloody interesting in their ways like licking her eyeballs and, uh...

Anyway, not the point. Remi was growing onto Toady and she was a young frog, a good childhood makes a good frog girl.

With this recent errand, this was his chance to form a solid relationship with his new buddy for life.

Carrying her on the back of his left hand, propped up in the air and careful not to do jerky motions so she wouldn't fall off.

As he walked, he saw an older Gryffindor girl with her cat, and Remi couldn't help but look interested due to fact that she might be also doing the prefect's errand of a whole clean up day for our pets.
Giving Toady a single finger head pat,
"Once I get a pail of clean water, you'll get to relax."
He talked to Toady as Toady blinked in uninterested boredom.

Giving the girl a simple wave with his other hand as he set down Toady onto another table, he asked,
"Do you need help with cleaning your cat? I do like cats, my sisters all got cats so I know what I'm doing if you need help."
He said, a helping look on his small, youthful face.

Katrina looked Boomerang over, having somehow gotten all of the matted fur off of him. Now he looked like a very angry wet blob of a cat. Katrina continued feeding him little bits of a treat, hoping that would appease his taste and keep him from running away.

Katrina noticed another boy come in with his frog. Boomerang perked up and looked over at the toad, it was more like a first introduction than a familiar greeting. Boomerang began to purr and Katrina smiled, happy to see that her familiar had already forgiven her for getting him wet. Katrina had to admit, the boy's frog looked pretty adorable, in a froggy way, of course.

The boy turned and offered assistance. "Actually, that would be really nice. I am going to trim Boomerang's nails and that is much more of a two person job," Katrina cracked a smile as she grabbed a pair of the trimmers from close to Boomerang. Seeing the metal thing, he crouched back, not letting his gaze from them. "Come on, Boomerang, it's not that bad," Katrina held out the clippers for him to sniff and gave him an impatient look when he didn't budge.

"Here- uh," Katrina grabbed a dry towel and swiftly wrapped up Boomerang, making sure his paws were easy to get to, "If you could just hold him down and pet him and maybe give him a few of these treats? That would be amazing," Boomerang quickly tired himself out and stopped trying to get out. Katrina was gentle with the cut, careful to not get the quick.

When she was done, Katrina watched as Boomerang unfurled himself from the towel, "Good boy," Katrina praised, rubbing Boomerang affectionally on the head. He was now done with the care and licked himself over, making it clear that he was the one who decided it was all okay. Katrina laughed and turned back to the boy who had offered to help.

"Thanks! Could I help with your toad, or do anything to repay you?" Katrina dusted her hand off on a towel. "Oh, also, my name is Katrina,"
