Cats = more like siblings than kids

feliscorvus:

Well, in Nikki’s case she feels more like a somewhat curmudgeonly great-aunt, but the younger three feel much more like siblings (or cousins, perhaps) than children to me. Just in terms of the way they negotiate space with each other and with me, and also how they smell, if that makes any sense.

I don’t mean gross bathroom smells, I mean that subtle smell their fur has when you bury your face in it as they’re trying to shove their head under your chin. They smell exactly like family, somehow.

Fey feels like a roommate.  Down to the intense sometimes physical squabbles over random shit.  I think she also thinks she’s my mother and I’m her big dumb kitten, but aside from that, it’s like having a grumpy old lady living with me, who continually tries to pull rank based on age mind you.
