[Napstablook doesn't touch the network really, and this is the first time they've gone out of their way to address the whole network. They clearly look a little nervous. Maybe even a little more nervous than usual, considering the weird things they've been seeing out of the corner of their eyes.]

um... hi, this is napstablook...

[The former ghost-turned-human is sitting on the floor of their room, with a box of meowing somethings right next to them. Upon closer inspection, there's a bunch of hideous-looking cats, with all teeth for faces. In the box, there's one oddball that's staring directly into the video feed for an uncomfortably long amount of time.]

i hope i'm not bothering anyone but
i found these outside and they seemed kind of hungry... at least i think they are...
can anyone tell me what they eat...?

[They kind of uh, smuggled them into their house. Unfortunately if they were trying to be discreet about it, the network post and gurgling meows from the kittens aren't really keeping it secret.]

You'd be surprised what some unknowable creatures can jam down their throats.

[A beat.]

I realize that might have sounded wrong out of context, and I vote to strike my comment from the record.

Anyway.

Are you really keeping them as pets? Is that... okay?? I mean, I know what cats eat, but I don't know that that's a cat. It looks more like an Old God.

comment stuck...

[Napstablook's trying to joke, but it's hard to tell with their usual deadpan expression.]

i'm not sure yet... i uh
haven't really asked if i could keep them yet...
but i didn't want to leave them out there... they could get attacked by something?
they haven't really done anything too bad

[Except bite their fingers a couple of times.]

Hmmm. Well, I mean, if it really is just like a normal cat, just... weird, then. First of all, you want to make sure to stop touching and petting for a while after it bites your fingers. Teach it that biting means it doesn't get what it wants, and it'll stop biting after learning the pattern. And the best thing to give a cat to eat is meat or fish. You'd also be surprised at how much some cats like vegetables, and those are good for them too. But the best staple for them is protein. Don't give them extra stuff with the meat like rice or other carbs, that's good for humans but not for cats.
