OW!!

[It’s not the most graceful way to start a feed, but, trust him, he wasn’t planning on it! The real focus shows up soon enough once the device stabilizes and Rin’s finished hissing and cursing under his breath: a swish and a flick of a tail, a growl... and two blue eyes glaring down at him from the top of a cat tree.

Yes, he’s being terrorized by a cat (his fifth attempt today) and he can’t deal with the rejection.]

You piece of– I barely even touched you!

[The black cat proceeds to yawn before resuming its busy task of trying to fall asleep. Rin meanwhile curses before adjusting the camera down to reveal his hand... and wrist... and a bit of his forearm... all covered in bright red claw marks.

The following groan of annoyance does little to mask the underlying disappointment.]

Che. How did Makoto do this? [he mutters before adding (even softer, perhaps a little sheepish)]

... How do you... make cats like you?

The answer is 'fish', isn't it?

If you eat fish together, you will bond~♪

[sharkmaid]

Why do I have to eat it?

[seasung]

It's not 'bonding' if only one of you eats while the other watches.

Sharing a meal is something the two of you can do together that does not involve intruding on the cat's 'personal space'.

[sharkmaid]

Oi, who said I’m messing with it’s personal space? And anyway... wouldn’t it just ignore me if we bonded like that?

[deniles]

You leave it alone. And if you keep bugging it, you'll keep getting hurt.

[sharkmaid]

I'm not bugging it!

[He's not leaving it alone either.]

I've barely even touched it!

[deniles]

Doesn't matter. If it keeps attacking you, you're annoying it.

So leave it alone.

[sharkmaid]

... I want it to like me.

[yasei]

I'm not sure you can really make a cat like you, just like that.

[sharkmaid]

Then how about making it not hate me?

[yasei]

Patience would be pretty good, for example. And being calm or at least not get too agitated.

[sharkmaid]

I am calm!

[He does not sound calm.]

It's the cat's fault for not being fair.

[all_seeing_eye]

Your first mistake is thinking that you can make a cat do anything.

[sharkmaid]

It should at least be more agreeable! How can they be so difficult?

[all_seeing_eye]

You want to know the secret to getting a cat's attention?

[sharkmaid]

What?

[He, um, did not look particularly sympathetic to Rin's plight.]

Ignore them. Or don't.

[sharkmaid]

[Rude.]

You're not helping!

[shiitan]

I know. [Ross, please.]

But ignoring does work.

There's no perfectly-effective method. A lot of it is luck.

[sharkmaid]

Does luck have something to do with why every single cat I come into contact with hates my guts?

[heptagram]

Yeah. Not all luck is good.

Also, cats are kind of jerks.

[kokuyoyo]

Drug it.

[CHIKUSA NO]

Catnip... can make them relax.

[ok he's made it slightly more acceptable now]

[sharkmaid]

[......]

That seems like cheating.

[kokuyoyo]

All's fair with cats.
