#ooc this comes from the fact that i'm more of a cat mom kind of person

[meet-the-trapper]

tell us more about the kitty cat please

Gladly!

This happens after the timeline and trapper and spy retire together. The thing was that, in spite of the fact that Maude never wanted to have kids, they began to feel a little lonely and lacking of somehing. They found that the perfect conclusion would be a cat! When announcing it to spy, he was super nervous that they would announce that they want kids, but was relieved to find out that it was just an animal they wanted. Spy was wary about it at first, but he also wanted Maude to keep their spirits lifted, so he let them. 

They insisted to get one from a shelter, as Maude wanted to find a troubled cat they could emotionally connect with. To Spy’s surprise, they came back with an expensive breed: a little ragdoll kitten. Trapper was unaware of its rarity and picked it out because it “was so friendly and had a little eyeshadow pattern”. Maude knew that Spy wasn’t all for a kitten, so they let him help name her. They settled on Madmoiselle Cashmere. Maude calls her “Cashy” and Spy always addresses her by her full name.

Maude treats the kitten as if it were a human infant for the most part. They give her a little kitten-sized baby bed, a little carriage, a high chair, a bib, a bonnet for photos. The only thing Spy insisted against was fork feeding, as she would get too used to it(And believe me, cats do.) When one of the mercs come over, they’ve said, “Would you like to see the newest addition?”, to which they were confused. They thought that trapper didn’t want kids! Then out comes this little kitten in their arms with observant blue eyes and the softest fur you’ve ever seen. Maude is well aware that this isn’t normal cat owner behavior....for the most part.

It took a while for spy to warm up to the cat. At first he just saw it as a means to make his spouse happy. But upon being left to watch it for a bit, his heart had no choice but to fall for the little animal. Especially since he can teach her little spy tricks. He thinks it’s fun to pretend that she’s his little honorary spy cat. Around Maude he’d insist that he’s just trying to get the cat to cooperate, or he’s just trying to make Maude happy, but at some point he couldn’t defend those excuses much longer, and they’ve both accepted that Spy loves his little cat daughter.
