Fic idea I was struck with the other day and keep thinking about: a Vulcan adopts a cat.

azzandra

Still thinking about this, even though I’m not writing the fic!

This Vulcan, I’m calling her T’Pen, goes to a shelter and gets a cat, and the shelter employees are like, a bit weirded out? But obviously they’re going to give her a cat, I mean, she’s a Vulcan, she’s Super Responsible, she takes all the pamphlets and listens attentively to all the advice the shelter employees give her, even though it is obvious she researched a lot on her own.

Then T’Pen asks the shelter folks what she should name the cat and runs into That Thing Humans Do Where They Confound a Vulcan With Their Weird Ways

Shelter Employee 1: oh, you can name a cat anything! That’s what’s great! People names, common nouns, whole phrases.

Shelter Employee 2: yeah, nothing sounds weird on a cat. Everything from Chad to Cupboard is fair game.

SE 1: yeah, I mean, you can’t call a dog Chad, that would be weird

SE 2: I wouldn’t fuckin’ trust anyone who named their dog Chad

SE 1: oh word

T’Pen:….

T’Pen: ….fascinating.

Later, in the interest of furthering her anthropological study of Earth, T’Pen has a houseparty and she invites her coworkers, many of whom are human, but others which are aliens, and are fascinated by T’Pen’s cat

Vulcan Co-worker: T’Pen, what have you named this small Earth feline?

T’Pen: I have named him Marmalade.

Vucan co-worker: Is that not the name of a type of Terran fruit preserve? I do not understand the logic behind this choice.

T’Pen: the logic is self-evident to a human.

Human Co-worker: T’Pen, omg, you have a cat! What’s his name?

T’Pen: thank you for your inquiry. His name is Marmalade

Human Co-worker: oooh! yeah, that makes sense, because he’s orange and sweet! lmao, great name

Vulcan Co-worker: …

Vulcan Co-worker: ….fascinating

Still thinking about this.

T’Pen adopts a second cat a while later, this one a stray gray tabby that she finds and cleans up and decides to keep instead of dropping him off at a shelter.

She goes the other route with the second cat, and gives him a people name, except it’s a Vulcan name so she names him, like, Sivok or something.

Marmalade is a complete goofball, floofy and affectionate and very rotund, and keeps trying to sit on T’Pen’s head when she’s meditating.

Sivok, on the other hand, is Very Dignified, and all sharp angles, and not very playful, but he does enjoy sitting on the window sill watching street traffic. He will only deign to allow certain people to pet him, and be very frosty towards strangers, whereas Marmalade greets everyone by rubbing against their legs.

Sivok, of course, does the cat thing where he shows affection by always being in the same room as T’Pen, but always with his back turned to her so as to not be overly emotional in his displays. He is the most Vulcan of cats. If one were to run a poll among T’Pen’s co-workers regarding which cat was their favorite, you would probably–well, you’d get a lot of write-in ballots saying ‘how dare you, all cats are good cats’, but you’d notice how Marmalade was deffo a favorite with the humans and Sivok a favorite with the Vulcans.

Sivok does have one unnerving habit, however, and that is that he will occasionally leave a dead bird on T’Pen’s pillow– at least until she learns to close the bathroom window so he can’t get at them anymore. She does acknowledge Sivok’s hunting prowess, however, and the fact that in different circumstances that would be a very desirable quality in a cat.

My cats weird obsession with Ringo Starr

So recently my cat has become infatuated with a picture of Ringo Starr I have hanging up in my room

image
image

He only ever does this with ringo, not George, the only other picture he can reach, I thought maybe he actually liked Paul or maybe it was just the frame so I conducted an experiment

image
image

I decided to try out some different pics of the Beatles together and he still seemed to prefer ringo over the other three

image

I then tried out individual photos to see which he preferred and he stuck by ringo every time

image
image

Finally I tested a picture of the band from a different era where they looked different, at least to a cat, and he still preferred Ringo, thus telling me that my cat has a thing for Ringo Starr
