one thing visitors comment on is how much Belphie groans in his sleep. like we’ll all be sitting in the living room, and they’ll say “what in the world is that loud ominous groaning,” and then they’ll follow the noise to a heating vent where Belphie is upside down on a sheepskin rug, groaning like a christmas ghoul
dogs might look like their owners but cat people always have a cat with the same mental illness as them
My last cat was owned by my friend’s Trekkie uncle who passed very suddenly in a car crash. The family just couldn’t take him and asked me to possibly foster him until they could. I almost immediately adopted him.
I would set my computer to play a video for him when I left for work. He got mad if it wasn’t star trek. He learned to hit the spacebar to pause and start it.
I am and have always been a Trekkie. One time I was having a shit day bc I was in the middle of MCAS starting to kick my butt and I was just crying on my couch. He hopped onto the table and started star trek for me
Then he just stared at me like “did that work?”
And this was his staring face so yes of course it did
But I’m forever amused that I shared needing the same comfort show, with a cat
Omg this is amazing
Like learning to pause???
And knowing it comforted you as well???
It took him some trial and error, but he figured out pawing the keyboard in the area of the spacebar made it stop and start. And also at my mouse, which he had stolen bc I was paying too much attention to the video, in that picture
