we love cats.
this has been a near constant of our lives. we have always loved cats, for almost as far back as we can remember (or as i like to say, the beginning of the time and the universe).
we wanted to be a cat, as well. we can't remember what we thought about being a cat, just that we wanted to be a cat.
today, being a cat is something some system members have incorporated
into their gender, and is really important to them ❤️

we have a cat allergy
we are allergic to the fur haired cats carry on their body. this means that a well intentioned kitty coming to rub against us will cause our body a little bit of distress! it makes our eyes feel itchy and water, and sneeze a lot.
we realised this when we were concerned that we were ill when staying with a friend. We didn't want to make them or them family sick! after some thought, we realised that, we don't feel sick, and we don't always have sneezing or itchy eyes. we considered what may be causing this, and realised it had to be the cats! it always happened around cats historically, and, only when we were inside the apartment, where our friend's cats lived.
We wish someone told us what a cat allergy was, we didn't know the fur was what caused them, just assumed they didn't apply to us.
our friends
the rest of this page is dedicated to sharing pictures of some of the cat friends we've made, including some images, and descriptions!
Panko
This is panko, a happy orange cat that eats a lot.
Panko loves us! they regularly sleep with us and walk on us and come to cuddle with us. When we're moving around, they come to see us less, and sometimes try to stay away. We think our sounds and movements may be triggering for them, so we try to be calm and predictable for them :)

Pi
Pi is a friend of panko. Pi likes to play and is a lot more energetic than panko! We don't play much, so we spend less time pi.

Molly
We met molly outside on a walk one day, and ever since, we see them regularly.
Molly likes going on adventures near their home, especially if they get to go with us! One time, they climbed out of a steep escarpment for a frozen river, just because they noticed we were walking by! We want to meet the people who house molly, and see if we could spend time to play
with them sometime.
Anecdotally, molly hates capitalism.

Creeper
this is creeper! the are very friendly gatekeeper (fire emblem) to a cosy neighbourhood. they guard their house's front vigilantly, waitiing patiently for a friend to come by so they can say hi! creeper loves you.

rivers
rivers is a black cat that moves its body in really awesome cat ways. they're very timid and are always hiding behind molly or in a pot or flowers. they wiggle around a lot when moving

zoomy
fast orange stripe cat! zoomy is magnetised to elysia and gets up to mischief. sometimes they climb on rooves and terrorise gardens or wrestle with marty. theyre sweet !
zoomy also loves exploring. we've found them in a bunch of different trees and bushes and houses before.
theyre also really pretty

marty
marty hangs out with zoomy but also is more timid and less friendly and forwards. kinda skittish but also likes hanging out as well.

paws
paws is a new friend we dont see very often
when he sees us he runs up to see us, and cuddles and plays for a bit, before heading out and doing his own thing. or when she's walking past the area she'll come in uninvited to check on us.
we really like paws and theyre super affectionate and gentle

indy
indy's kinda slutty and enjoys hiding in her good cage an rubbing against everything. she's not timid or traumatised but does seem fragile and inoccent and also enjoys affection. her play area has bright colours everywhere and she goes in it when shes scared and comes out when she wants to hang out for a bit
hawke
hawke wishes he was a happy cat that ate a lot. he cant eat a lot for health!
sometimes he goes hunting for his favourite prey: bread! and occasionally comes up succesful.
he's very needy and attention seeking and is extremely long. he is quite sharp and i dont think he knows it. he might have bpd but has lovers that keep him safe
