@wizard0 the one on the left is super passive (but also hissy) because she was an only pet for most of her life.  I mean, when she was really little, she def thought she was a dog because my two childhood dogs were around her a lot (I got her for my 20th birthday, the year after my father died, and the year I moved off-"campus" (quotations because Berklee College of Music has no campus at all, really) and got an apartment with some people I met on SG.  She used to be the center of all attention and whenever people came over, she'd play fetch with a toy mouse like a dog, except she'd bring the mouse back to the next person over so everyone got a fair turn to play with her.  But she's older now (12), so she's calmed down and became a cat that is still pretty spry, and will still play, but a majority of the time, if she's just minding her own business either the dog or the other cat will bother her, so she just kind of tries to stay off the other pets' radar (well, she'll sit in a chair near the turtle tank and watch them because she's strange).  This just happened to be one of those rare times where Nyx was already in our bed (sometimes she'll sneak up here and take up the entire bed, sprawled directly in the middle and sleep here for most of the day) or she'll sleep on the futon in the spare room, but she was in the bed when I got up here, and she sat on my stomach with her paws draped over me, then Phoebe, the derp kitten, came and sat behind my shoulders the way she does every night, and this was the result.  Both kitties disbanded upon the dog, Penny, who we've nicknamed "the ruiner" because she doesn't want the cats to do anything without her of us to do anything without her either. The pet situation is a very weird dynamic.  Nyx tries to show she's boss and doesn't bother to cover her poo in the litter box anymore (which are fighting words to cats), Phoebe will sneak up behind Nyx and give her a good thwap, and the dog will chase both of them or bark at them if she sees any "tension" going on between the cats.  It's so strange how they each have their own predictable behaviors.

@irabrai She's never done that before, plus she was drooling all over my left shoulder!  It was gross!

@floydian Yeah, I'm pretty sure I remember talking about it being a show because he's finally released from his Universal contract, so he can do what he wants with it.

You are so cute omg
