out on the fire escape

art by thelilyblack, commissioned by me, paid for by me, drawn for me, you know the spiel.

Jenny out on the fire escape of Lottie's apartment building with the strays she and Lottie took in while Jenny was growing up. They'd take in a stray, nurse it back to health, then try to find them homes, and if they couldn't, then they'd keep it. The very first stray they ever took in, however, is a permanent resident. And that's the one in her lap -- Bunsen (after a bunsen burner, because Jenny likes science stuff). He's been with Jenny since she was ten, which was when Jenny lost her parents -- three weeks following her tenth birthday, actually.

Jenny was always good with animals growing up, and you know by her taking in and nursing strays that she's very compassionate, but after the Combination (the cat DNA bonded to the human DNA) got into her bloodstream and changed her, she became more in tune with her feline pals.
