okay but lots of people talk about how vulcans could be sort of feline right? well what if at some time (let's say just before pon farr bc that is the catch all convenient reason for vulcan biology going crazy) they have to mark their ownership on everything. so like a cat, scrubbing their cheeks up against stuff, their possessions, their home, their people!
The fact that cats have lil pheromone cheek pouches is the cutest thing~
It would be such an absent-minded thing like
“Sarek, you’re rubbing that PADD on your face again.”“I am thinking.”“You’re MARKING, dear. Don’t think I didn’t see you sidling up against the wardrobe door earlier.”
Imagine Old Married Spirk or Old Married Spones though
Spock going in for a welcome-home finger kiss and his partner catching his lips sweetly, but the next thing Spock knows he’s gently cradling his husband’s face there in his long fingers and lightly nuzzling his face.
And they’re just thinking ‘oh jeez, has it been 7 years already? Or does he just like to smell me…’
(Once of my favourite cat features to translate over to Vulcans though definitely has to be the ridged tongue, heheheheh…
