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.

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?

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).

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.

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.

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

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

[identity profile] x-wildchild.livejournal.com 2008-09-09 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that's pretty much how she sees things.

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.

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.

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

[identity profile] x-copycat.livejournal.com 2008-09-09 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, and lavender is a lovely shade of purple.

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

[identity profile] x-copycat.livejournal.com 2008-09-09 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
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.

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.

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

[identity profile] x-copycat.livejournal.com 2008-09-09 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
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.

[identity profile] x-copycat.livejournal.com 2008-09-09 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
She's a student who crawled into my bed, sweet cheeks. It was a warning, not a pick up line. I do have at least more decorum than that (shocking, I know).

[identity profile] x-adrienne.livejournal.com 2008-09-09 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
Don't call me sweet cheeks. We've talked about this!
Yes you do have more decorum than that. I didn't know she'd crawled into your bed. That's kind of... wow. Did she... is she... I mean, should you tell the Xavier or something? Students hitting on teachers... we shouldn't be letting that happen, right?

[identity profile] x-dryad.livejournal.com 2008-09-09 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
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.

[identity profile] x-copycat.livejournal.com 2008-09-09 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
You were being very sweet cheecks-esque, though.

It wasn't that kind of crawling into bed with me. She was a cat, literally. She just wanted petting and some bedspace and apparently her own personal Morgan heater. Wow, that sounds a lot more inappropriate when I put it like that, doesn't it?

[identity profile] x-copycat.livejournal.com 2008-09-09 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
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.

[identity profile] x-adrienne.livejournal.com 2008-09-09 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
Pretty inappropriate, yeah, but sadly enough I know you meant well. And I'm glad she likes you because if a cat showed up in my bed to shed fur all over me in the middle of the night, dropping it on my roommate would be the least painful thing I did to it.

[identity profile] x-copycat.livejournal.com 2008-09-09 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
She bit me and I was going to go drop her on Laurie 'cause I assumed it was her cat and then POOF, the cat was a girl. That was odd. I'm glad I wasn't that awake at the time now that I think about it.

It's less creepy when you think about her as a cat and not a girl who turns into a cat. I like the cat version better anyway.

Wait... purple hair? Girl and cat? It's beginning to make sense.
That girl's in my math class. Odd speech patterns.
