Yeah but knowing our luck this is a magical story.
The cat was a stray and this poor family got for there child. He wanted a pokemon for christmas, but knew he couldn't actually get one. So the boy asked for the game. Same as last year, and the year before. But he ended up constantly disappointed, because his family was so poor, they couldn't afford to buy him anything.
Now tho, they take the boys cat to do shows and people pay to come see him. The family now lives in town and the boy has a college fund. Or something.
