#cat simon

So like I get Cat vibes from Simon so far. Like a stray tom who keeps taking shit from others and fights your pets if they get too close.

He's covered in scratches and his fur is all rough looking. He growls and hisses and postures.

And then they catch him. Put him in a sac and tie it off before dropping him in the water. Or blood.

When he gets pulled out his fur is soaked with blood, he's scared and mistrustful. He won't let anyone close enough to help clean the blood off.

But then the fox that's also a little scared, but mostly happy, yip and jump around him.

I think Simon would hiss and try to claw at him with an arm that isn't there anymore. So he tries to compensate by biting.

I think maybe the fox accidentally scares the cat and he ends up hurting the fox. It makes him feel horrible, because the fox has been kind so far.

I can imagine how observant the cat is, still and slow moving, waits until it's dark to move around.

Like him finally slow blinking at the fox, or curling up next to him. Him purring! It's a quiet purr, low and rumbling. Him grooming the fur of the fox!

Idk.

I guess it's an angora breed. I just really like the long fur on the tail. But his fur is all messy and it takes a while until Fox Grace sees his fur all groomed and shiny and beautiful.
