    It looks like it was time to take out the trash again. You looked at your garbage can- it was filled over it's limit, mainly because you were too lazy to take it out. You walked over to your fridge and pulled out a pack of ham, strapping it to your waist. Making sure not to drop any trash on the floor, you grabbed the hem of the bag and slowly lifted it out of the container. Tying the knot carefully, you sling the bag over your shoulder and walk outside and downstairs. Throwing the trash in the green dumpster, you sighed. 

    'It's really hot out today.'

    Walking back to the staircase of your apartment, you see the neighbor's strangely white colored Bengal cat trotting towards you. Smiling, you knelt down and let the kitty come to you. It slowed when it neared you and mewed for your attention as it was in hands reach. You rubbed the small cat's head and stroked it's back and tail. You never really knew your downstairs neighbor. You've only seen the back of his head once, and you probably had no right to be touching their animal. But ever since you moved here not too long ago, the Bengal cat has always been friendly towards you. You took out a piece of ham that was previously strapped to your waist and gave it to the cat. 
    You looked up. There was another cat coming from the bushes you recognized. You never knew if this one was a stray or not. This one liked you too. Taking out a piece of ham, you presented this cat too with a thin piece of meat. Three more familiar strays came from behind the staircase, meowing for a slice of meat. You smiled, delivering them their share. 

    "Hey, the whole group is together now."

    After you finished handing them their treats, they rubbed their bodies and faces against your legs and thighs, per usual. Showing them each their share of attention, you caressed the five cats. The white Bengal cat particularly liked you the most; you could always tell it did. Grinning, you knelt down a bit and allowed the white Bengal cat to rub it's face against yours. Surprisingly, the cat smelt very nice and clean. 
    You remembered that most people who lived in this apartment complex hated cats. They wanted to get rid of the strays and put them down because they argued that they "took up so much space." Sometimes you saw people treating these strays like the trash you just threw out and you hated it so much. You had to stand up for them.
    Suddenly you saw something out of the corner of your eyes move. You looked up, and conceived that the neighbors curtains were swinging back and forth. This hits you hard, as you realized the neighbor saw you touching their cat. 

    'Crap.'

    You were so frightened, but overall embarrassed. What if you got in trouble and they called the landlord? You knelt there in silence, thinking of what were the possibilities. 

    "They like you."

    You almost jumped at the voice that came from behind you- however you didn't because you would scare the cats away. You shockingly turned around to see a teenage boy wearing a long green coat and some finger-less gloves. If it weren't for the strange blue hat, you would've thought he was a hobo. Who was this guy? Your brain still quite in a jumble, you couldn't think of a reply. The boy knelt next to you and rubbed the white Bengal cat's head.

    "This one's name is Pounce de Leon."

    He didn't look away from the cat as he said it's name. He took off his hat and held it out to the group of five cats, who jumped and swatted at it playfully. You swallowed and nodded, gawking at him. When he knelt down next to you like this, you could see his facial features and realize how handsome he was. He looked so content while he watched the cats play. He turned his head curiously to you when he realized you staring at him. You quickly looked at the cats, embarrassed once more. You could feel your face heating up. 

    'Dammit.'

    You quickly racked your brain for something to make this conversation less awkward.

    "S-so, these are all your cats?"

    He smiled, looking back towards the kittens.

    "Well, Pounce de Leon is my pawbeast. The other four are strays, but I still consider them a part of my family. They have no home. As you can see, I'm a real big cat purrson."

    You nodded once again. So this was your downstairs neighbor that owned the white Bengal cat.

    "So, you like my cats? I always see you playing with them and feeding them whenever you get the chance. Like just now when I was in my apartment."

    You blushed, embarrassed once again. He watched you from inside his apartment? Yes, as you recall, the curtains from his hive were moving not too long ago. But what confused you is how this guy came outside through the front door without you noticing. And how he did it so quickly. He was an interesting character. 

    "Yeah--!! They're all so cute and friendly..."

    He looked at you and blinked.

    "They aren't always so furriendly. Did you know, grubs and animals like cats and dogs can tell you which trolls are good and which are bad? My cats... tell me that you're a good purrson. By the way they great you and the way their eyes light up when they see you....! I just know for sure you heave a pure heart."

    You stared at him, caught off guard by his sudden words of kindness. You suddenly remembered the stray cat incidents and how you were the only one to stand up for them. He smiled a sincere grin at you with his canines.

    "What's your name?"

    "I-It's _____."

    "Pawssibly the prettiest name I've heard. Mine is Nepeto. I'm finally glad I could meet the beautiful neighbor who has been giving my cats the unexpected love and attention they deserve."

    He shifted his whole body towards you and grabbed one of your hands with both of his gloved ones, holding it close.

    "I can tell that you and I are going to be very close very soon."

I really love this story! I also love some of the discriptive words you used! This story really is just too awesome for words! I hope there will a part 2! Overall you did really well on the story! <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="391" title=":) (Smile)"/>
One main thing that I loved about this story was they you detailed even the smallest things! I also may want to point out one minor problem..
"Hey, the whole group it together now."
I think you meant to replace "it" with "is"
But other than that I don't think I saw any other problems!
I also love how you made both Nepeto and the reader very caring. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="391" title=":) (Smile)"/>
I hope to see more of your writing soon!
