This is a post season 7 Buffy. She is living in Cleveland, located on Lake Erie. The city has one of the largest ports on the Great Lakes.

 

To enjoy the story, all you need to know is Coon Cats can get as big as 25lbs. Or 11.34kg. The cat in this story is that big.

 

I once owned a cat that was nearly that size. The cat in this story is based on a combination of the personalities and antics of the cats I’ve been privileged to share a home with, but most of it is courtesy of my muse. 

 

The cat in this story is a demon. I do not believe that cats in our reality are demons.

Willow and Tara are together in a different reality than Buffy and Spike. They are Wiccans and own a full-service spar called Under the Willow Tree. The spar offers yoga, Wicca and meditation classes, along with massage, and Reiki healing.

The Clem, Lorne, and Doyal, mentioned in this chapter, are human. There are no demons in their reality.
