The Opposite of Magellan

[digitaldiscipline]

"From hell's heart, I stab at thee."

While it's entirely possible that Kirk is Magellan's daughter (because, frankly, look at her)... she's not nearly so keen to be a guest at GMBAN right now, though I caught her up without too much hassle or snarling and brought her in, the intention being to keep her through Thursday morning in an effort to get some Lyseine into her to help knock out a sinus infection she's been snuffling with for a week or so.

Magellan, on the other hand, is taking to domestic life like a champ, and, my first night sleeping on the full-size mattress I moved into the back room for more comfortable sleeping during my convalescence... the furry little bastard curled up right in the middle of it, next to the small of my back, so I woke up having rotated about 45 degrees to the axis of the mattress so as not to roll over on him in my sleep.

Magellan is like "outside life? Fuck that. Inside, with hooman pettings and treats? THIS IS THE LIFE. WE'RE MOVIN' ON UP TO THE EAST SIDE, WEEZIE!"

He did give me some side-eye over the "what the fuck, your hands smell like another cat" after some Kirk-socializing was done.

She's warmed up to me - two hours and some wet food and she is tail-up, willing to flop for scritches, and touching her nose to mine (which, admittedly, is better for her than me - she's got a bit of snotgoblin action happening, and smells like cat food, heh)

Next thing you know, you'll be like james_nicoll and have a whole herd of semi-feral cats in your house!

The plan to potentially catch up the newly-discovered youngest litter (tentatively dubbed "Mote" and "Speck" (if there are more than these two, I haven't seen them; these were just spotted the first time over the weekend, aged approximately 6-7 weeks) - they are both black, and the offspring of Tiny) for domestication remains afoot, since I figure kitten therapy will be good during my convalescence, and introducing all cats to domesticity more or less at the same time will ease socialization.

Wait. It's NOT normal to rotate 45' on your bed??

Awwwww bitchy kitty. They are the cutest.

I don't think she understands "resting bitch face" when I say it to her, but she does recognize her name.

(Magellan is being trained to come when I use the Master's tap-tap-tap-TAP from Dr. Who, because.)

Awwww, Megellan.

He's attempting to earn his board; he killed a fairly large huntsman spider (2/3" body, 2.5" leg span) last night. Am going to try and introduce him to Kirk while she's boarding with us (through Thursday morning, anyway) and see about bringing her in permanently after D*C.

Also, attempting to grab Mote and Speck if they ever, literally, come down off the fence (there's a 6' wood fence they hang out on the top railing of and then dive underneath the neighbor's house).
