"Yeah, he's been the kind to just wedge himself in places and hide since he was a kitten. That's how we got him. I got him. A Kon that isn't the one here but was on a different Earth found him wedged in a pipe abandoned, and we tried to foster but he just had too much separation anxiety to actually go to another home," Bart says, smiling fondly. "We didn't name him for so long that when we finally had to, we just jokingly combined our heritage. So he's Kat-El Allen."

A mild shrug, and Bart gets down a couple of mugs for the cocoa. ladling carefully into them.

"Still working on naming all the hens, too. I just don't want to go with Speckles and Streak and stuff."
