Why a cat?

Alfred gets a little lonely and jealous when Arthur is usually busy reading in the library, he decides to adopt a cat and show it to his friend

"Alfred, what the heck is that thing on your neck?"
"This thing happens to be my new cat. Say hello!"
"Don’t be silly, a cat can’t talk. Why did you decide to adopt one so suddenly anyway?"

Prompt is Alfred and Arthur as children doing something cute. Special guest appearance of Americat!
