It was such a little flurry of activity that Dell hardly knew where to focus! Though she didn't see it often, she was always completely flabbergasted by the animagus transformation; it was simply breathtaking and such a feat of skill. Needless to say she was impressed, as always. How fortunate she was to have such a talented husband!

Adella was positively beaming by the time Philip was himself again and the wee fluffball in her arms, was purring contentedly, even if it was glaring at her now-human husband. "She's beautiful! Are we watching her for the holiday?" Certainly she belonged to somebody! The little critter was absolutely adorable, with her big blue eyes and fluff! The thought that Philip would present her with a kitten as a gift simply did not cross her mind. Though she had taken care of Dora while Elsie was still in school (and frankly credited the pup for meeting Philip in the first place) she had never really had a pet of her own.

However Adella also knew that Philip spent his entire day around animals. Of course he liked them, otherwise he wouldn't own a pet store, but she imagined he probably didn't want to deal with furry little scamps at home either!
