The next day or two the older humans showed you around the house and you understood some of what they were telling you to do. You had a special area to relieve yourself in, a special container to sleep in, and some bowls/plates that they would put your food in. All of which seemed to be a lot less glamorous then the places they did all the same things in. After being shown everything you kept to yourself in your little container to sleep in which was nice, having a lot of soft padding and walls and a roof that blocked out light and were great for scratching at, because you were still getting over the separation from your mother.
After awhile you felt hungry and walked to your food and drink bowls that was near the dinning table everyone else ate at. It was dark outside but a light lit the dinning area where you heard some laughing and some fussing. Crawling in you saw the three of them sitting at the table eating something. You looked into your bowls and saw a bunch of brown shapes that filled your bowl and the other bowl was empty. After you started to nibble at the brown kibble the female adult said something and went into the kitchen and brought out a carton of milk and poured it into your drink bowl. Curious you sniffed the milk and then lapped some of the cold liquid down and continued to eat, and either you were hungry or they gave you a little bit little to eat since you emptied your bowl fairly quickly. You crawled around to the table below the baby girl and saw some more tastey looking food on the floor and went to eat the food scraps up when You heard the adult male yell at you and you stopped trying to eat it. You crawled away to your resting area and then decided to just sleep the rest of the day away.
The next day the humans left for awhile where you kind of wandered around and slept until they came back with some clothes. They helped you into your clothes, a padded pair of panties, and a cute little dress. They put a little dresser next to your little resting box which had a few clothes in it, but the little girl seemed to have more and cuter clothing.
After a year or so you had understood the language that the human adults were talking about and probably could talk to them if you had any interest, but you had no interest in saying anything. All you had were a few complaints about the kibble they were feeding you, how you had never seen your mother (you had mostly gotten over it, although you still wept every so often), and how the little girl they called Emily kept grasping your tail. However Emily had said "Mama!" her first word and the adults "Mama and Papa" made a big deal about it. Soon after you tried saying a little "hello" and were practically ignored if not kind of ignored. Every time Emily did something that you understood before Mama and Papa would cherish her and if you tried to emulate what she did you were more over ignored for a bit.
After you both were around five years old Emily happily went to school while you were just kind of left in both of your room. When you were both 4 she wanted to play with you more so she managed to convince her parents to move your sleeping box bed thing into her room which allowed you a few privileges such as being able to read from her selection of kids books and to watch a little bit of T.V. with the volume on low when you were kind of trapped in there. Overall while you resented Emily a little for having a nice relationship with her family while you were kind of alone you did enjoy talking a little bit together with her... At least after she started realizing you hated having your tail tugged at and you loved your ears getting scratched. For some reason the way she did it always felt oddly pleasurable. however you really wished you could've went to her to the school and when you asked all you ever got was "There are rules against you going to school." and something else along the lines of you are an animal. Regardless as she progressed in school you went and studied with her and managed to help her with some of her homework. She often said that you were a lot more smart than she was and you should be the one going to school instead of her.
