Tom nods in agreement. Then again, most of what he's seen in the Nexus is new. Fonn does get a quiet chuckle. "Just cats, birds, and raccoons so far."
Truth was there were only two or three species of animals left on Anthea and those few had been taken aboard a different ship. They also made poor pets. Tom wondered how many she would end up connecting with and what was in their history that allowed for it. This was going to be a trip to the Anthean archives for sure. "Radley. He showed up at the house the day we moved in looking like he'd been through hell."
The cat had some of its fur back but there were still some thinner patches of hair,a weird kink in its tail and a bit of missing ear. "I think my wife told him to keep me company."
He knew, or suspected anyway, that his wife had told this cat to keep any eye on him. Though, he wasn't going to complain. He was growing to like the scrappy old tomcat.
