"Mai, what is this?" Noll said, the distaste obvious in his voice. He had just been awoken by an over-excited child pushing something into his face.

"Ask her," Mai replied, smiling slightly from the doorway.

"Explain," Noll asked, aiming this question at his young daughter who had just scrambled onto his and Mai's bed.

Himeko grinned.

"Mummy kitty," she started, pointing to Mai. "Hime kitty." She pointed to herself. "Daddy kitty!" she finished, obviously extremely pleased with herself and pointing to her father.

Noll sighed and sat up in bed. He took the fluffy pile that his daughter had forced onto him. Both his wife and daughter were clutching similar items.

"No."

"Daddy kitty!" Himeko insisted.

"Mai, why is this happening?" Noll asked groggily.

"Daddy kitty!" Himeko repeated.

"Get dressed and I'll make you tea," Mai said. "Come on Himeko. We need to put the shopping away."

"Daddy kitty," Himeko repeated one last time. Then she dismounted from her parent's bed and skipped after her mother.

Noll groaned and forced himself out of bed. He left the fluffy item on the duvet and looked for his sweatpants and a t-shirt to put on in order to eat breakfast.

But he couldn't find anything.

The only things left in his wardrobe were his work suits, which he could not wear as he had not showered yet.

"Himeko…" he muttered darkly. Noll turned to look at the fluffy mass on the bed and groaned again. Had it not been the middle of winter, he would have just walked out in his boxers as it was only Mai and Himeko in the house, but considering the temperature...

Himeko was sat on the kitchen counter passing tins from the bag to her mother who was putting them away in the cupboard.

"No more! Nya!" she squealed.

"Good," Mai replied and she put the shopping bag away. She turned to pick up her daughter, but Himeko wriggled away.

"Good nya," she insisted. Mai giggled.

"Fine, good nya."

Himeko beamed and held out her arms. Mai picked her up and lowered her to the floor. The kettle had just boiled. Mai began pouring hot water into the teapot in order to make tea.

"Would you like a drink?" she asked. "Nya," she hastily added.

"Milk! Nya!" Himeko, despite being perfectly capable of wobbling around on two legs, was crawling around on all fours.

Mai retrieved the milk from the fridge and was about to pour it into a lidded cup for her daughter when her husband bustled into the kitchen.

"Daddy kitty!" Himeko exclaimed happily.

The three members of the Davis family were now all wearing matching black cat onesies.

Mai had to refrain from laughing.

"Himeko, where have you put my clothes?"

Himeko laughed and put her hands over her eyes.

"Don't know! Nya!"

Noll picked his daughter up.

"Himeko?" he said warningly.

"Gone! Nya!" Himeko giggled in her father's arms. "Daddy say nya!"

"I will do no such thing."

Himeko frowned.

Mai, who had just finished making drinks for them all, was watching from the other side of the kitchen.

"Mummy, no tea!" Himeko ordered. "Daddy no say nya!"

"He didn't, did he? Nya," Mai said, amused by her husband's facial expression.

"Himeko," Noll started again. "Tell me where my clothes are and I will…" He faltered momentarily. He blinked slowly. "Tell me where my clothes are and I will say it."

"No! Say nya!" Himeko insisted.

Noll and his daughter had a furious glaring match.

"Nya," Noll deadpanned.

"Daddy kitty!" Himeko squealed in excitement. "Mummy kitty! Daddy kitty need tea now!"

Noll put his daughter down and took the tea gratefully from Mai.

"She has you wrapped around her little finger," Mai commented. She passed Himeko her lidded cup of milk and together, the family made their way to the lounge.

"Jealous?" Noll asked.

"Not at all," Mai said and she meant it.

"Why are we wearing these ridiculous things?"

"She saw them in the supermarket this morning," Mai replied. "And she inherited her stubborn-ness from you."

"That is not an inherited trait," Noll said.

Mai rolled her eyes.

"I should send photos to your mother," Mai said as Himeko started crawling around the floor, pretending to be a cat. "She'd love them."

"She saw us three weeks ago," Noll said. He watched his daughter playing. "But you're right, she would."

"And I'm sure the others would love to see you in a cat onesie."

"I will dock your pay if you do."

Mai laughed.

"Really?" she asked. "And who is that going to benefit?" But she continued before Noll could answer. "I'm sure Madoka would pay me for such evidence."

"Evidence of what?" Noll scoffed.

"That you're not a robot."

"Mai," he began, pointing at Himeko. "She is proof I'm not a robot, I will get a DNA test done if Madoka is that concerned."

Mai laughed.

"Himeko?" Noll said and his daughter turned. "How do we say nya in English?"

"Don't know," Himeko replied, frowning.

"Not this again," Mai muttered.

"Meow," Noll instructed his daughter. "Say meow."

"Meow!"

Noll smiled.

"I have an idea," he said and put down his empty cup on the coffee table. Mai watched her husband leave the room and Himeko frowned.

"Where Daddy go?"

"I don't know," Mai replied. "And you didn't say nya." She stuck her tongue out at her daughter, who scowled back.

But Noll appeared a moment later with his laptop and a hard disk drive.

Mai and Himeko watched as he plugged the laptop into the TV via an HDML cable and started searching through files on the external hard disk.

"What do?" Himeko asked as she crawled over to her father.

"Go and sit with your mother, you'll see in a minute."

Himeko quickly obeyed.

A minute later a film began playing on the screen.

"What this?" Himeko asked as her father sat down on her other side.

"Watch and see."

And Himeko turned to the screen and watched as a Disney cartoon began playing. The title appeared and read: The Aristocats.

"Kitties!" Himeko exclaimed happily.

Mai smirked at her husband and wiggled her little finger at him. He shrugged and sat back.

Himeko crawled onto her father's lap and started watching with avid interest.

Mai, who could comprehend only a little of the English, was more interested in the reactions of her daughter and husband. But her husband, barely twenty minutes into the film, began to doze.

Well, he never had been much of a morning person, Mai thought fondly. But he would do anything to make his daughter happy, even if it meant wearing a cat onesie.
