![]() "And here's the proud Daddy now," Haymitch said, rolling his eyes. "Okay, maybe Buttercup is the father," Katniss admitted. This one had yellow-orange fur and Buttercup's distinctive smushed face. He reached under the porch and pulled out another kitten. "We don't know that Buttercup is the father," Katniss said, not missing a beat. "Your fucking demons have been breeding under my house," Haymitch said. The kitten already had its eyes open and it meowed vigorously. Peeta sighed and reached under the porch, picking up a grey and white ball of fluff. "I'm not sure that Silver wants me touching her babies." "Peeta, maybe you better pick one up," Katniss said. Katniss began to reach under the porch to pick up a kitten but thought better of it when Silver glared at her. Peeta wasn't sure how one would go about having a cat fixed. Not many people lived in District 12 nowadays and they didn't have a proper veterinarian. "Do you know someone who can neuter a cat?" "But when you have a boy cat and a girl cat this can sometimes happen. "I didn't think I'd have to explain the facts of life to you two idiots," Haymitch said. "Silver had kittens?" Katniss asked, peering around Haymitch. This prompted a long string of profanity from Haymitch. "I guess that's where Silver's been going during the day." Haymitch led them to where there was a small hole in the trellis and Peeta saw that Silver was stationed just underneath the porch with five small balls of fluff kneading at her stomach. He heard what sounded like tiny, high-pitched meows coming from under Haymitch's porch. Peeta was surprised when he walked not to the doorway, but to one end of his back porch. Haymitch led them around the back of his house. Katniss looked at Peeta and shrugged before they both followed him. "Worse than killing one of your geese?" Peeta asked, in alarm. ![]() The cats hadn't ever bothered Haymitch's geese, but Peeta had caught Buttercup staring at them with murder in his eyes more than once. "They didn't kill one of your geese, did they?" Peeta asked. "Did they dig up the flowers that Effie planted again?" Katniss asked in a bored voice. "What's the goddamned problem? You two need to come see what those motherfucking demons that you call pets have done at my house." Peeta sighed as he stepped reluctantly away from Katniss. "Hello Haymitch," Katniss said, rolling her eyes. "You two need to stop doing that right fucking now and come over to my godamned house," Haymitch said. Their kitchen door slammed open, hitting the wall with great force. Katniss licked a bit of pink cupcake icing from Peeta's fingers.
