“Okay but an award-winning idea.. We all team up and get her a kitten for Christmas. Then she can’t keep stealing yours!”

“um - yes. that sounds like the most perfect plan - like ever. that needs to happen. i think my dad may scream, but it’s fine. he’ll get over it.”

“well she loves them now, that’s all that matters right? they wormed their way right into her heart just like they did to me and you.”

“exactly. those little babies have had my heart since the moment i saw them, let’s be real.”

“you can’t even pretend to not love those cats though, i’m surprised she didn’t break earlier. the second i got nala my dad about lost his mind.”

“she’s just - particular, is all. once she got used to them, she was alright.”

“That’s how my Mami is with our cats! She said when they were in high school she hated Lord Tubbington but now, she always makes sure he’s in bed and has his food bowl full before she goes to bed and then makes sure he gets chin scritches every morning before work! His work- not hers. He needs chin scritches before a long day of running corporate America via zoom.”

“is it like that with all parents then? hating pets before they realize they’re actually tiny angels? - he sounds like he’s a pretty busy business man, we love to see it.”

“Your Mom is one of the most precious humans I’ve ever met in my entire life, and that just makes her even more adorable. How did she act when you first got them?”

“she is pretty adorable, i can’t lie. - i just got one first, and she honest to god didn’t talk to me for a whole week! but now look at her. the audacity this woman has.”

“Well… yeah. Hated it, wanted to leave. But you know, didn’t think I’d do it that way.”

“so then why’d ya do it like you did?”

“Am I? Because I think I might puke.”

“why would you puke? i thought you didn’t like it there?”

“I could watch them for hours on end, it’s the greatest thing in the world.”

“right! they really are. they never get boring either!”

I may or may not have just walked out and quit my job. 

“you, my good sir, are an icon.” 

“Yeah pretty sure my dads like their pets more than their kids too, but in my dads’ defense, they have pretty shit kids so.”

“oh my gosh! i bet you guys aren’t shit kids!”

“They’re the best things to watch when you’re in a mood and need a pick me up. It’s like the more against it they are, the more interesting the video is.”

“yes! they really are. it’s the best too when they show like - the progression of it. when they first get the animal to like - now, or whatever they do. it’s so funny to watch.”

“I love those videos! I’m sure I have over a dozen saved on youtube. It’s so cute seeing grown men give in to tiny creatures. Aw, that’s so sweet! No one can resist something so cuddly.”

“aren’t they the cutest? i’m so obsessed. - she hated them at first, but now they’re all just the best of buds and i love it. the most cuddly ever, yes.”

“I get it. My dad would have like freaked if I asked for an animal. I’m genuinely surprised he was like able to keep my siblings and I like barely alive,” Margot pointed out with a self-sufficient nod. “Potentially. Awe! Now I really wanna get a pet. I mean, I like totally should, right? It’s gonna like get so lonely in my apartment.”

“oh my gosh - that sounds eventful,” briar giggled softly, pushing her hair out of her face, “you should! they’re so much fun, and they totally make things a little less lonely.”

@puckinglandon: BUT I LOVE YOU MORE.

@briarschue: okay true. no tea spilling.

“A week? And you like didn’t commit matricide?” Margot asked, clearly joking as she let out a laugh. “Kidding, but cats are like the non-messiest animals ever, I swear. They just vibe and like do their own cute little thing and if you get a self-cleaning litter box? You’re like set for life,” she said, waving her hands around. “I mean, like don’t get me wrong they are still little shits but still like supes manageable.”

“oh, no. that’s just - my mom. nothing new.” briar shrugged with a soft giggle, “they are pretty easy, i can’t lie. both of mine are angels too, so maybe that’s what’s making it easier for her.”

Margot nodded excitedly with a bright smile on her face. “Oh my gosh, yes! Those are like, the cutest vids ever!” She gushed. “I mean, I just like love a cute family moment, but it’s super cute your mom is like so into your cats. It’s like such a tender moment. Baffles me that she wouldn’t like cats though. One time I had a Persian cat that was just to die for and I just could not imagine not loving cats. They’re just the precious-est!”

“right! i love them so much! - it’s cute, but it’s also so weird. she wouldn’t talk to me for a week when i got my first one, and now she just - adores them. she’s just a very particular person, never really liked animals, always thought they were too messy n’ stuff. they really are so adorable! i’m obsessed with them.”
