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?

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?

[seasung]

If it 'wants' to, it can ignore you, yes. But its the same way when bonding with humans, isn't it? If you make someone feel like you're forcing them to 'spend time' with you, they won't enjoy it.

[sharkmaid]

Cats and humans are totally different with me. No matter what I do, it seems like I piss off every single cat I meet. That can't be normal!

[seasung]

Maybe you are cursed.

[sharkmaid]

Oi, don’t say something like that! I don’t want it to come true.

[seasung]

Hehehe~ I'm sorry. It was meant to be a 'joke'. ...But in truth, it wasn't very funny.

You gave this little one your 'love' and 'attention', and it has rejected you.

[sharkmaid]

[... well now he just feels worse]

Stupid cat...

Anyway, it's not like it's the end of the world. I'll get over it.

[Maybe]

[seasung]

Do not take it personally. 'Life' is hard for such a tiny creature. Learning to trust 'humans' is also hard.

If that is one of the strays that have been running around lately, then it may not have had many 'good experiences' with humans in the past.

[sharkmaid]

I'm not sure if it's a stray. If it was though, it should learn how to trust right away. Even if it can't trust me, it might be able to trust someone else.

... I guess I don't want to see it go back to that kind of difficult life.
