[ Clark appears on screen wearing a recently acquired pair of glasses from the marketplace. He looks like a buff nerd irritated and uncertain. ]

I think something was delivered to me by mistake. [ He angles the camera so the fuzzy little bonsai tree in front of him is clearly visible. The leaves are covered in fur, it's actually sort of cute but... That tiny meowing sound? That's coming from the tree.

More specifically, from the little seed pods that contain live kittens. ]

If it belongs to anyone, I'll be happy to return it. [ Said mildly. He doesn't know yet if this is an alien species or something more deliberate, but he's trying very hard to give it the benefit of a doubt here. ]

In the meantime... Does anyone know what this is, exactly? Or how to take care of it?

Look, I'm not happy about this either, but I can't just leave it somewhere. It stays, James. When I find somewhere for it, you'll be the first to know.

You better find somewhere for it before I get back tonight, otherwise I'm going to put that poor- whatever it is, out of its misery. [The meowing coming from it, the unnatural shape, it's unnerving and he doesn't exactly do well with science experiments in the first place.]

You can't take care of it, so find someone who can.

That's what I'm trying to do here. In the meantime, you can't just kill it because it makes you uncomfortable.
