Summary: Gwen makes a decision.

It was Johnson who first spotted the cat, mewling sadly outside the warehouse entrance, and Lois who started leaving scraps of food, but it turned out to be Rhys who bodily picked up the scrawny animal and demanded that Torchwood adopt it.

Gwen looked at the four pairs of pleading eyes, three human, one feline, and felt herself hesitating. Torchwood was dangerous, even to pets.

The team needs a mascot, she could imagine Jack saying. The cat clearly possessed luck and charm; in the end that was pretty much all any of them had to rely on.

“Welcome to Torchwood.”
