up against the species barrier

[cimorene]

tea, the nutter, just climbed up on my chest while i was lounging with my feet up and attempting to read some picard/q. she miaowed shrilly, purred violently, patted my shoulder insistently and head-butted my face. when i finally gave in and reached up to pet her she shrieked in outrage, wiggled about as i tried to get her to sit down in my lap, and finally leapt over my shoulder and went to sulk on the kitchen table.

perry and cim together: "i will never understand cats."
