Summary
The cat stares at Obi-Wan, blinking slowly with curious eyes.
“Well. Hello, there.”
Obi-Wan greets the creature at his door, staring back. The cat has sleek, black fur all over, except for the white streak on the side of his face. He is much smaller than a Loth-cat, with much shorter fur too. Possibly a less common sub-species of the tooka. He has blue eyes instead of yellow like most black cats, and oh—he’s missing a front leg.
A pang of sympathy swells in Obi-Wan’s chest. The poor thing. Where has he come from? Who is his owner? Did he wander all the way from the lower levels of Coruscant and into the Temple? Did he get injured because he’s a stray?
The cat sits on his tail, looking straight up as Obi-Wan crouches down before him.
“Hello, dear,” he greets the small creature again, this time in a much gentler tone. “Now, how have you wandered to my door?”

Summary
Safety. P█ople. Warmth. ████
Obi-Wan’s thought process stopped jumping erratically. He was in good hands, his instincts whispered. The man with the scent of sand and salt was a steady, comforting presence; he’d promised to stay.
No one had stayed with Obi-Wan in so long. His kind weren’t meant to languish in obscurity, denied contact, friendship, kinship; the wolf needed a pack. The human needed to remember how to walk on two feet, how to touch and speak rather than lick and growl. He had come so close to losing both, to being driven mad by both, basic mental needs denied until he was mindless, broken.
This was a good place to rest, decided the wolf.
But not for too long, worried the human.
Anakin and his kids find what they think is an injured dog.

Summary
The cub opens its eyes at the same time Obi-Wan hears Qui-Gon say, as if from far away: “The choice is yours to make. But it’s only right that you be aware that doing so will kill the j’ali."
Intelligent curiosity shines in its eyes. The thought of damning it to a cruel and heartless death brings Obi-Wan physical pain. “No,” whispers Obi-Wan unknowingly. He can’t let the cub die. If he does, he senses that the Force will rip itself loose and leave him a hollow echo.
“I thought so,” says Qui-Gon, resigned.
(While on a mission, Obi-Wan is gifted an unusual beast.)

Summary
Anakin, in a fit of bravery uncharacteristic even for the Hero With No Fear, decides that he should tell the Council about his secret marriage, so that no Sith could ever use it against him to hurt the Jedi Order or the Republic.
It goes swimmingly--if you ignore the fact that Anakin definitely meant to say that he married Padmé in the wake of Geonosis, and yet the entire Jedi Council seems to think he married Obi-Wan.
And also if you ignore the fact that now no one believes them when they tell them flat out that Anakin is married to and in love with Padmé, not his old master.
And also if you also ignore the fact that Anakin doesn't know how to ignore the fact that being in love with Obi-Wan sort of makes a lot of sense. In fact, it feels like the only thing that's made sense in the last four years, come to think of it.

Summary
When a cat shows up at Obi-Wan's door during leave from the war, he doesn't have much of a choice but to take it in. After all, the cat is pretty insistent that it wants to be by his side, every second of the day, always and forever.
And the only other sentient in the galaxy who has ever expressed a similar impulse is currently across the city, spending his leave with his senator wife and surely not thinking about his master puttering around in their old quarters. And anyway, Obi-Wan is...lonely. A feline companion may just be the thing that fixes him.
Or, Anakin turns into a cat. Obi-Wan is the last one to figure that out, despite all the similarities between his former padawan and his new cat.
