Jan. 24th, 2026 11:06 pmWILLOW: I'm more of a dog person myself. But I'm not like, "death to all cats." Why?
TARA: Cause I was thinking of getting one.
WILLOW: Can you have one in the dorms?
TARA: No, but this would be a sneaky cat.
WILLOW: That would be cool. You mean it'd be sort of like a familiar?
TARA: Actually, I-I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could ... we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.
WILLOW: And we could make kitty go bonkers with string and catnip and stuff?
TARA: Absolutely.
WILLOW: Fun! I'm in.
