Characters
Mittens
supporting
Mittens is a playful, medium-sized tabby cat with distinct orange and brown striped fur patterns and bright green eyes. She has soft white paws, giving her the name "Mittens." She wears a small, jingling silver bell collar around her neck, which cleverly conceals a tiny, blinking GPS tracker. She often purrs contentedly when petted.
Agnes
supporting
Agnes is a sweet-looking East Asian woman in her late 20s, with long, straight black hair often tied in a neat ponytail, and warm brown eyes. She has a petite build and a friendly, approachable smile that can turn mischievous. She wears a comfortable, stylish apron over a simple, light-colored blouse and dark jeans, suitable for running a cozy cat cafe.
Detective Miles
supporting
Detective Miles is a Caucasian man, appearing in his late 30s, with short, slightly disheveled brown hair and tired but observant blue eyes. He has an average build. He typically wears a rumpled light blue dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up, a loosened dark tie, and dark trousers. His office desk is often messy, and he's frequently seen with a pencil and a coffee mug. He has a slightly weary demeanor but can be good-natured.

“A tracker? On Mittens?”
Panel 2: Agnes, the cat cafe owner, looks sheepish and holds her hands up, smiling mischievously.
“Busted, I guess!”
Panel 3: Miles laughs good-naturedly as Agnes holds out a bag of cat treats, Mittens purring contentedly.
“Just for fun, huh?”
