Natsume Is a Cat (pt. 3)
If anyone is looking at this nonsense... thanks. Isn't the world golden on our side of things? Let's get back to it, to our academic and scholarly research!
Tumblr media
Where were we? Onto cats likes and dislikes?
Cats don't much like water. They don't care for swimming and avoid it when possible (that doesn't mean they're dirty though; cats are very good at self-grooming).
Tumblr media
Water bugs them, after all.
But the dark doesn't! Cats have a tapetum lucidum in their eyes which lets them see in the dark, so there's nothing to fear even in total darkness.
Tumblr media
They tend to underestimate their weight and enjoy sitting on chests if they so choose, even if the person they're sitting on doesn't like it as much.
Tumblr media
I had to include this because my cat Phoebe does this to me every night.
But they don't really like going places. They would prefer to do nothing.
Tumblr media
You can try to make them, but they revert back to inaction. Always.
Tumblr media
Natsume does nothing all the time. It's his favorite thing to do.
Tumblr media
Cats also typically dislike when they're introduced to a new cat in their home. Especially at first, they might be cruel to the new cat, but in time, they might get attached.
Tumblr media
Cats do this often. They look at you, spot your interest, and then run, for the sole purpose of making you chase them. They do this on purpose. They like the chase. They will stop and let you pet them eventually but they need to play the game first. I'm not making this up. This is true.
And to wrap things up, I will conclude with pages I had in my folder with unclear captions that I saved too long ago and now no longer remember where I was going with them.
Tumblr media
Titled, "catlike". I agree, but I can't explain it.
Tumblr media
Titled, "gives cat vibes." Don't know what that's supposed to mean. He does look like a black cat here though.
Tumblr media
Titled, "hes a cat i can tell". Very unhelpful to me. I guess it's just a vibe?
Tumblr media
"hes a cat what do u want me to say" Well, past!Anya, I want you to say specifically where you were going with this. But I'll bite. He does seem like a cat here.
Tumblr media
"omg just like a cat". Have no idea if this is about what Aoi is saying (misunderstood and thought of as scary, like a cat) or Natsume in the background doing fuck all. Maybe both. Either way, I agree.
And to finally finish off, let's discuss the fact that the person he gets along best with is Ruka, who has the animal pheromone alice. Unlike literally every other person on the planet, Natsume has never been angry at Ruka. He loves Ruka. He always loved Ruka. Natsume is a cat.
Tumblr media
(This is clearly a joke. Natsume is not nice to Ruka because he's under the affect of animal pheromones. Because Natsume is a human being. But it's a funny joke. Their friendship is very clearly authentic and beautiful. Natsume is kind to Ruka because Ruka is perfect and has never done anything wrong ever, in his life.)
BONUS
Not related to cat stuff, but this one was funny:
Tumblr media
"AND HERE COMES NATSUME WITH THE STEEL CHAIR!"
Okay I'm done now! Thanks so much for reading this silly nonsense rambling. It was fun to put together and I hope it was a fun read too! Have a great day/night. I'm very tired and this took longer than I thought it would, so I'm going to sleep. Love y'all <3
Also, in case y'all missed the first two parts, they are as follows:
Part 1. or Part 2.
