Her basil had been torn to shreds, with leaves strewn about and stems chewed off. Salem herself liked to occasionally chew on a leaf or two, but never made this much of a mess of it. She knew almost immediately who the culprit was.
The culprit, of course, was sleeping on the counter right next to the cash register. Salem woke her up with a quick chin scratch, and when she let out a yawn, she could smell it on her breath.
Chrissy had eaten the basil.
She didn't know if basil was toxic for cats, and a cold wave of fear washed over her when she realized that it very well could be poisonous. Now that she thought about it, Chrissy was acting awful sluggish today. She usually was up and about playing, saving her naps for the late afternoon.
Salem told herself to be rational, but even she could see that there was a change in her kittens breathing. It grown slow and labored, and Salem, despite priding herself in being rational, forced herself to walk outside and sit on her store's front steps. She didn't want to watch her cat die, and she was sort of hoping someone would come along and offer advice. VITALS > overall status: 100%

He could still remember the family pet when he and Micah were still just kids. The coyotes got to her before Teddy was even old enough to know how to take care of her, but his love for cats only stemmed from her affectionate nature.
These days, Maia was as much a companion to him as a fashion statement. Her beautiful marbled coat and graceful strides were enough for the curious eye to never cease to be amazed by her elegance. She was affectionate too, and great with people. Honestly, if Teddy had a soft spot it would be with Maia.
It didn’t mean he knew much about cats though. As he strode down the street to head back to the casino, brows bunched together as he spotted Salem sat rather miserably outside. ❝ What seems to be the madda, darlin’? ❞ Teddy questioned as his mask shifted to look of concern. Sliding closer, he crouched down in front of her so that he could gaze over at her worriedly. ❝ You ain’t lookin’ too good. I mean, you always look lovely, but you seem... deflated. ❞

She was so desperate for company, she would gladly put up with his shallow remarks if it meant getting some comfort.
"Teddy, it's Chrissy...she ate one of my basil plants." She closed her eyes, willing herself not to cry as she tried to keep her voice steady. "Chrissy's been sluggish all day, and I don't know if basil's poisonous for cats. I don't want to go back in, because...because what if..." She trailed off, staring down at her trembling hands. She remembered how scared she was when she first came to the badlands, and how comforting Chrissy's weight was on her chest whenever she went to sleep. Chrissy was always there, by her side, either napping or asking for cuddles. "I can't lose her, Ted. Not already." VITALS > overall status: 100%

Oh, something was wrong with Chrissy? The thought of the cat being unwell made Teddy grimace for a moment, hand raised with uncertainty before resting it on her knee. Some semblance of reassurance. ❝ I’m sure she’ll be just all right. ❞ He paused for a moment before cocking his head as he rose to his feet. ❝ Lemme go see her. I know a thing or two ‘bout owning cats. ❞
He wasn’t the most knowledgeable but surely with experience of owning Maia, he’d be able to try to ascertain whether or not Chrissy was in a sorry state or just in dire need of a good old fashioned cat nap. Pressing his lips together to form a thin line, Teddy watched down sympathetically before holding his hand out to help Salem up. ❝ Come see. She’ll be fine. ❞

She'd really lost all hope, but it meant a lot that he was willing to help. And something about him seemed more...genuine.
Despite the genuine gestures, Salem declined his hand and hauled herself up, tentatively leading the way into the house before coming to an abrupt halt. In front of her lay 2 piles of vomit, streaked with green. Chrissy was sitting next to the piles, cleaning herself, acting as nonchalant and healthy as ever.
"That bitch..." Salem shuddered with relief and beckoned Teddy in. "She's fine. Just ate a bit too much...or maybe it wasn't enough to make her super sick." She made an internal note to put some kind of barrier around the basil to prevent this from happening again. She strode past the vomit, moving to pick up Chrissy.
"Don't do that to me again. Please." She buried her face in Chrissy's fur, trying to hide the tears that were brimming. VITALS > overall status: 100%
