Language classes, 10/20

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

Hello.

Languages of Europe: Continue reviewing the Spanish verb forms from Tuesday.

Cat class: We have a special guest -- Jiji, who lives with kikidelivers. When he gets here, you will all transform, and then he will lead a Q&A session. I hope you find value in this exercise.

"Good to see you, too! I hope everything has been going well with you," he purrs at her.


[ooc: Is Paige still under the effects of the activated Evil!Paige? There is a possibility that Jiji's sense of smell would be able to detect that something was different about Paige, even in cat form, although he would not be able to figure out what.]

Paige nods, "I'm not too bad all things considered thank you."

((this is normal Paige, she's kept control until this afternoon with Sawyer, cos Evil!Paige likes Saywer, god help him!))

Jiji purrs, "Glad to hear it!" He flashes her a bright, white-fanged smile.

He does wonder, however, what "all things considered" means, particularly in the context of things he has heard from Kiki.

"So we're meant to ask questions, erm, do you having any advise for us about being a cat. Other than the not licking thing, obviously," she lets out a laugh like meow

"Advice for being a cat," muses Jiji. "You start me off with a tough one! To you, cathood is something you are learning. To me, cathood is. I have never been anything other, so I have nothing to compare it to. It is my state of being." He pauses, and adds, almost as an afterthought, "It is the ultimate state of being. Achieving cathood is a delicate balance between dignity and playfulness, between familiarity and aloofness, between regalness and the enjoyment of a satisfying roll in the dust. Be nonchalant, but also familiar. Be near people, but not of them."

He thinks for a moment. "Keep your claws sharp. And always, always, always," he adds, a mischievous grin causing his whiskers to bob, "be careful who you lick."

Paige smiles, "Thank you JiJi, I'll be sure to remember that, the bit about the claws I mean" she adds quickly looking at Hank embarressed

"There's good reason for that one," Jiji continues. "What's a cat's first line of defense? Or offense?"

Jiji raises a paw and there's an almost audible *snick* as five sharp claws snap out.

"The trusty claws. When danger threatens, you don't have time to sharpen them then. Keep them sharp; it'll save you when you need them."

Paige nods then quickly pushes over a note to JiJi, "for KiKi" she whispers "it's very important."

Jiji stands up, stretches, arching his back, then sits down again, this time on top of the paper.

Like most cats, he can't resist the lure of sitting on paper.

"Actually, I was also wondering what the proper etiquette was for sharing food. My traveling companion was always very skittish about that and I wasn't quite able to understand why."

"Litter-mates will have no trouble sharing food; kits that have been raised communally generally have no problems, either," Jiji answers. "However, kits that have ben raised alone or who have spent most of their time in competition with others for a limited amount of food will certainly hoarde their food jealously. It's tough to teach," Jiji concludes wryly, "a cat to share."
