Question:

What happened next?

Answer (optional):

Upon touching the creature, it arose, purred loudly, rubbed against my hand, and seemed pleased with my attention. I then offered to buy the creature from the landlord, but he declared he had no knowledge of it and had never seen it before. As I continued to show affection to the animal, it showed a willingness to go home with me. I allowed it to do so, and it instantly became a favorite with my wife when it reached our home.
