I thought cats were supposed to be independent and not needing anyone for anything. So where do the demand for petting come in? If you're that independent shouldn't you be above needing others to pet you? (Also, that bite left punctures, that's damn adamant about petting.)

I see you've met Catseye. Say goodbye to your notions of personal space.

[x-copycat.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I inhaled a nose full of her last night and thought Laurie'd gone out collecting strays and then dyed her purple for the fun of it, or to make her match and outfit or something. It made sense at two a.m.

One would think that one of such a cerulean nature would be the last to cast aspersions on the coloring of another.

Hey, she can be purple all she likes, it was more the idea of Laurie dying some unsuspecting housecat purple that was a problem. You know crazy Korean women get little white Maltese dogs and dye them odd colors. True story, it's fashionable. Figured I might need to smack Laurie around until she realized you do not dye your pets. The cat got really offended over me thinking she had an owner though.

Pbhhhht! Catseye is not purple! Catseye is a lovely shade of lavender!

[x-copycat.livejournal.com]

Yeah, and lavender is a lovely shade of purple.

Pastrami is purple. Are you saying Catseye looks the same colour as pastrami?

[x-copycat.livejournal.com]

Pastrami is more red than purple. You're the same color as eggplant, though. Not the same shade, but the same color. Also, while I'm totally cool with naked girls in my bed (or fur-covered as the case may be) comparing yourself to food just puts my brain in less than PG-rated places you may not want to be associated with.

She's a student, Smurfette. Maybe you should keep the sexual stuff to my journal instead of bringing students into your smutty mind?

I thought that at first when I saw her, that someone had dyed her. I was wrong though. Thankfully.

And Easter with the baby chicks they dye different colors. That's not very good for them at all.

[x-copycat.livejournal.com]

I don't see the point in dying an animal. Seriously, do you see baby chicks and Maltese dogs and cats trying to dye us stupid colors? Or, you know, those of us not already colored anyway.

[x-dryad.livejournal.com]

Well I know that scientists use dye to track birds that they're trying to study and use it to learn about how feathers mature. Still doesn't make it completely right. But they're scientists and they know what they're doing. Not people who decide they want their pet to be pink for show.

[x-copycat.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but it serves an actual purpose when the scientists do it and I doubt they're trying to Easter egg-ify the bird, you know? People who dye their pets are probably the same people who carry them around in their purses. They should all be shot on principle.

[x-dryad.livejournal.com]

It doesn't sit well with me but shooting them might be too far.

Google tells me that this woman in Boulder was fined for dying her dog pink. And all those dogs look so sad.

So, is patting a mutant catgirl going to be problematic for you? I mean, I get that being a cat would be awesome - you can sleep, eat, lie in the sun and get patted (sounds kind of like my life, actually), but did you end up with an ability to purr?

[x-copycat.livejournal.com]

I don't think so. Most of the time, at least, it's a conscious thing. Though the real question is do I turn into the girl or the cat or does it just depend which I'm touching when I pick up the mimic? Could be worth the experimentation if I might get to purr. Of course, if she ends up staking out territory in my bed much it might happen by accident anyway.

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

I think it's more like that they think they're at the top of the Everything chain (not just food chain, but all things).

[x-copycat.livejournal.com]

So she is the Goddess and we should all bow down before her, is that the gist?

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's pretty much how she sees things.

[x-copycat.livejournal.com]

So then I was right in thinking she's a cat and not really a fulltime girl, huh? I mean, alright, that's such a chick mentality but it's less obnoxious from cats. Mostly because they don't whine at you for much other than food, petting and to be let outside. Unlike women.

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

Catseye's ... uh, I guess you'd call it state-of-mind is sorta complicated. It's not like Rahne, who is a woman who turns into a wolf, it's .. uh, well, not really my place to tell but it's complicated.

None of the women I've dated were whiny. I mean, Clarice was kinda pathetic when she was nuked but I figure if you're gonna be nuked you GET to be pathetic.

[x-copycat.livejournal.com]

Everyone's complicated, but no worries on not explaining. If it's not your place then it's not and if I'm meant to find out then I do. Simple as that. it's all about your clearance level in life.

I've dated some whiny women. I've also impersonated some men married to some damn whiny women. It's no fun. It's not all of them, just like all of them aren't psychotic, but it's enough of them.

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

Clearance level for life. That's a cool way of putting it. And yeah, I mean we're all complicated sorta, but some people are more... harder to explain. I mean, like, okay with me it's... wait, no, nevermind. When I have to re-write the sentence more than twice and it tries to turn into a bullet list, it's complicated enough to call complicated.

[x-copycat.livejournal.com]

That's how I always thought of it. There's some stuff everyone's cleared to know and some stuff you will never, no matter how hard you try, have the clearance to find out about. It's just a matter of what your clearance level is for a certain situation or person or subject, y'know? Aye, if you get to a bullet list it's definitely complicated enough to qualify.

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

Yeaaaah, I'm gonna totally be stealing that from you. Because yeah, it totally applies. And now when Nate sees this, he's gonna laugh at me, I just know it.

It never USED to be complicated. Or.. I guess, no more like I didn't KNOW it was complicated. My head makes my head hurt.
