cattypea rolled her eyes at the talk of cats and petting. She liked cats, she liked all animals. But this talk of petting had a sexual tone underneath it that was just plain creepy when talking about cats. Complete shock came over her, her thoughts interrupted when Prince came over and pretty much pet her. She stuck out her tongue and grimaced, but before she could do anything, he removed his hand. She hissed, very much like a cat. "I'll bite your hand if you do that again" she said, her ears twitching, and flicked her tail in annoyance. She bared her teeth, but couldn't help but smile.

It was easy to let herself relax, to talk with them, and to forget. Her ears twitched, her tail swishing with her need to be outside, as her hand curled around her staff
