Fluffball

The cowled head lifts and gazes towards you - the gaze an flickering and wavering glow of a corroded brass lantern that stares out from the hood of waterlogged rags and bedraggled cloth. Nodding with approval, he drags up a heavy wooden crate with surprising ease and sets it down on the dock. Levering it's lid open to reveal a pile of tarnished coins, he digs through them with sticklike fingers and pulls free of the crate a sack.

Out from the sack spills a bedraggled drowned cat, wispy and ghostlike. "Sadly, its family is gone, and the father of its first owner did not want it around. The little girl who brought it home asked me to find little Fluffball a home, and thus I bring her to you. I can care for her in the meantime, but if you desire a playful young kitten, I could sell her to you. However, she never did learn to hunt for herself, so you will have to feed her by hand."

Akakios is willing to trade this poor cat to an eager mortal in return for a wizard's solitude. Agreeing to this trade will make the magus nervous when alone, and maybe even gain the flaw 'Devoted Parent' (from Grogs book) towards the spectral kitten. He values the trade at 8 vis.

Fluffball is the ghost of a drowned cat, given a Faerie seeming. If he is not fed daily, he will mewl and whine at night, probably disturbing the local area. However, with no physical form, feeding him requires someone to kill a vermin themself so the cat can feed on the 'ghost' of the prey. Fluffball attaches herself to the purchasing magus originally, but if someone else feeds her more often, she will attach herself to them. If fed every day for a year, the ghost cat will begin to leave presents before their master's doorstep, in the form of spectral dead birds and rats. These amount to a pawn of vis a year, Animal.
