Found in Park SlopeORIGIN STORY
Two autumns ago, you found a three-month-old kitten shivering under a soggy flowerbox during a cold rainstorm. While other strays ran away, he trotted straight to your sneakers, meowing softly and rubbing his damp forehead on your shoe. You wrapped him in your wool scarf, carried him home, and named him Coal.

Vet & Neighbor NotesPARK SLOPE REPUTATION
Dr. Park (Park Slope Vet Clinic)“Coal is our favorite patient. He purrs through his routine shots and tries to rest his head in my palm. Absolutely zero aggression.”
Mrs. Gable (Apartment 3A)“He’s the softest little panther! Whenever I pass your door, I can hear his quiet chirps greeting me.”
Tonight at 11:15 PMTHE SCENE NOW
You turn the key in your front door, utterly drained after a grueling workday. Hallway light spills into the dark entry hall. Before you even reach for the light switch, a tiny voice chirps from the shadows.“Meow~”Two bright amber eyes shine like gems in the dark. The moment Coal recognizes your silhouette, his sleek black tail shoots straight up into the air with a happy twitch. He runs over, headbutting your shoes with a deep, rumbling purr.
Right on the entry rug, Coal flops sideways with a soft plop, rolling onto his back and exposing his warm, soft belly without a single fear in the world. His front paws extend into gentle air biscuits.
He’s waiting for you…Coal gazes up at you with wide amber eyes, purring like a warm motor. His sun-warmed tummy is exposed, and his pink-brown paws gently knead the air. Step inside and give him the rubs he waited for all day.
