[Spam | Deck]

[A massive, nearly 900 pound big cat sidles his way onto the deck (easier to get to than the CES and feels more open somehow. He has a very faint fluff of fur where a mane should be, and spots on his forehead, and the dimmed stripes of a tiger that only came half-way through. Gaheris can talk, to either humans or animals. He's just basically not feeling particularly inclined to.

In fact, he feels more inclined to pace around for a bit, intending to lay down, until he finds a head of lettuce that's been left out near the greenhouse. He goes over to it, sniffs it, flicks the dark tufted tip of his faintly striped tail to and fro.

That's an unusual urge that he's feeling.

A moment later there's that same massive 900 lb cat rolling around on his back, and then hopping back up to pounce at the head of lettuce. Batting it, and then going after it as if it might get away.]



OOC: Rhade is a Liger. He mostly will be friendly- he's a big social kitty. Be warned, he might clean you. And his head is this big.

[After her hunt in the CES Beatrix saunters back onto the deck, ready to investigate the very intriguing supply of catnip Arkady's left there. But she's not alone, and the present company gives her reason to pause.

She thought she was rather superior in terms of size this time but this cat is easily three times bigger than she is. And he's batting around a vegetable as if he were a kitten. For a while she remains still, watching Rhade chase the lettuce and catch it before batting it away again. Then suddenly the urge to get involved is too much and she pounces, bounding for the lettuce and swiping a claw at it to volley it back toward Rhade.

[The catnip is not a thing he's found yet, but people will likely know when he does. In any case, suddenly there's another big cat vying for the lettuce- but there's no competition really. He sees her come in and bat, and instead goes straight to trying to cut off the rolling head of lettuce.

A couple of bats between his paws and he shoves it speeding towards her, but still comes trotting after it so they can close in on it.]

[Woe to any non-feline who stumbles upon the deck after they've broken into the catnip, but for now this other plant is much more fascinating. She leaps back as it skids across the deck towards her, then runs after it and swats with her claws bared, slicing off a few leaf shreds.

It spins off at an angle and she stalks around it, eyes fixed on the lettuce as if it'll dart away at any second.

[It's moving, of course it is. And right now, in his mind it's prey. So as she bats it away and it rolls to a stop, he comes skulking over as low as he can go.

Which is not very low, but he bumps the lettuce with his paw, and it moves a little. Which means obviously that it might move more, so he bats it again, and away it goes rolling.

At some point, he should maybe introduce himself. Maybe. For right now, this is a very occupying task.]

[Introductions are unnecessary; there is a rolling vegetable and that's all that's important. Racing after the lettuce, she snatches it between both paws and mouths against it, trying to get her jaws all the way around it but accidentally pushing it away instead.]

[He growls at it and tries to catch that escaping veggie prey, and ends up squishing it instead.

Which makes him sit unhappily and tail twitch at his no longer rolly quarry. Dammit.

He looks around, half wondering whether he should go find a pumpkin or something. Still not introducing himself, but being what he is? Pretty comfortable with the lioness around.]

[When Rhade crushes the lettuce she lets out an audible sigh, flicks her tail, and wanders over to the bale of catnip to sniff at it. Glancing back at him, she volunteers,] Well, there's always this.

What is that? [He can be understood by anyone. He just has chosen not to talk.

Cats were extinct in his universe, that is until he graduated and he and Braxiatel took two back to their planet. He's never seen catnip, or its affects. So he's not expecting the boneless reaction that happens when he goes over to sniff it.]
