Prrrrrow?

[A kitten greets you on the network today, Vatheon. A very cute, very roly poly kitten. One who is pawing at an SFC and looking at it with huge, troubled b100 blue eyes. Who could this kitten be? Who could he belong to? And why is he tangled in a slightly damp, large black tank top?]

Mineeew...

[Equius does not want to be cute! He wants to be a fierce predator, a big, STRONG kitty!]

[He sits down, primly wrapping his tail around his feet, and bats the SFC so it's pointing in another direction. It ends up focused on the wall, and there's only one hive in the entire bubble that could possibly have hoofbeast and juggalo posters hanging side by side.]

[bestestfurrend]

[Hey, it is completely possible to be both! Just look at Pounce, and Nepeta herself. Is he denying she is both cute and fursome?]

Pfft. Won't you even mew for me, Equius? [She sounds more amused than disappointed though, and the picture starts moving as she heads out of her hive and sets off towards his.]

[stayb100ponyboy]

[This is true. Equius is just used to being fearsome and not cute. It's an adjustment to be both.]

Ffft.

[There's a pause after that cranky sound, and then...]




... mmrow?

[bestestfurrend]

[The crankiness just makes her giggle - that's the moirail she knows and pities - and then she squeals with delight when he mews for her.]

I am going to cuddle you so hard when I find you! [She's already at the front door of his hive from the look of it.]

[stayb100ponyboy]

[There's no response on the SFC to that, although deeper in the house, there's the sound of scrambling and then, from the top of the stairs, a very plaintive mew.]

Mrow?

[The stairs were never this big before, and Equius doesn't know how to get down them!]

[bestestfurrend]

[Aww, no, the poor trapped kitty! Nepeta rushes up the stairs and swoops down on him, scooping him up in her arms and kissing his furry little head.]

I got you! Everything's going to be okay now!

[i.e. she is not going to set him down until this curse is over.]

[stayb100ponyboy]

[Equius squeaks in surprise when she scoops him up so abruptly, his tiny claws latching onto her shirt so he doesn't fall. Once she's got him supported, though, and everything is warm and still and safe, he launches into raspy, squeaky little purrs.]

[bestestfurrend]

[Nepeta is very experienced in holding kitties at least, and she marches off with him to his block, arms curled securely around him.]

You are the cutest as a kitty, Equius!

[Soft rumbly purrs from her join his as she snuggles him.]

[stayb100ponyboy]

[Oh, this is nice. This is very nice. It's so nice he can't even be mad about being called cute.]

[Equius continues purring, snuggling closer against Nepeta. His eyes droop to half-closed, and while he had no idea why he's doing it except for that it feels good, he begins kneading his paws on her shirt.]

[bestestfurrend]

[Nepeta pets his furry little head, giggling to herself when he starts kneading at her.]

Yes, you are a good kitty, you are the best kitty.

[She rubs his back for him, leaning down to kiss the top of his head, purring once again to make sure he's nice and comfortable and at ease.]

[stayb100ponyboy]

[If this keeps up, she's going to have a sleeping kitten on her hands. Wait... wait... going... going... yeah, he's asleep, still purring quietly, his little paws still working.]

[bestestfurrend]

[Equius will never know the effort it took for her not to squee out loud at the adorable picture he makes as he falls asleep on her still purring. She snuggles him lovingly instead, her own purrs rumbling away as she settles down for a little snooze too. Kitties need their nap time!]
