Its fickle nature meant it appeared and disappeared at will, so I didn't think much of it anymore. However, I couldn't help but notice it had been bathing in the sink.

"You actually take baths?" I asked.

"Meow (Translation: I'm a clean cat, obviously)," the Tree Cat replied, hopping out of the sink and padding over to a towel with its front paws.
