Janus stumbles upon a tiny black kitten.
It's just sitting there, a tiny ball of adorable floof on the sidewalk edge. Janus glances around, as if someone will miraculously appear on the abandoned street to claim ownership. But he's in the mindscape, and honestly the street only goes in a square around Thomas's apartment building. There's only so much real estate you can fit into one man's head. At any rate, the other sides hardly venture out here. This kitten is totes fucked unless Janus does something.
"Oh I couldn't possibly," Janus demures at the narrator. "Besides, it's imaginary. I'm sure it'll be fine on its own."
"Mew," chirps the ball of floof and emerges out of its loafing position to waddle in Janus's direction.
Janus, lord of the lies and all things deception, evil mastermind extradonaire, feels his breath hitch.
Just look at the little paws.
"No!" Janus exclaims, shaking out of his cute-induced stupor. "The last pet I had was Sacagawea the hamster, and we all know what happened to her! Not that I care about teacup sized critters. Begone, little beast."
"Mew," another plaintive meow comes as the kitten reaches his ankles. It swats at him with its stubby claws, trying and failing to climb his pants leg.
"I am a gentleman of standards," Janus tells the cat seriously.
The puny kitten looks up at him imploringly with round-saucer like eyes.
Janus drops to the ground and coos, "Oh no, you're meeting all of my standards!"
The kitten starts up a punitive-engine of a purr as Janus scoops it up in his gloved hands. It chirps intermittently and Janus's ice-cold snake heart melts.
"I'm not keeping you," Janus promises fondly. "This doesn't go beyond a simple scratching. Do I make myself clear?"
"Meeew," the kitten squeaks and Janus nearly falls over himself to bring the kitten's face to his so he can rub their noses together.
The next day the sides are in the midst of filming a video with Thomas in his living room when Logan cuts himself off in the middle of citing his sources to say, "What was that noise?"
"Sorry, I ate burritos earlier," Remus apologizes, not appearing very apologetic.
"No, it sounded like–" Logan cuts himself off again as everyone hears the sound this time.
A muffled mewing.
All eyes fall on Janus in his corner. He stands there, seemingly unaffected, but upon closer inspection with eyeballs, one can see how stiff his posture is.
Patton peers closer with his balls of eyes. "Jan...is this that mewing trend all the kids are doing nowadays?"
"That is not what that means," Roman says, but he's mostly distracted with staring at Janus. "Wanna tell us something, Cat in the Hat?"
The deceitful side bristles. "I haven't the foggiest what you mean."
Janus's hat meows. More than that, there's something shuffling underneath.
Thomas's mouth is slightly agape as he asks, "Janus, did your hat just meow?"
"It did nothing of the sort."
"Kiddo, do you have a kitty cat under there or are you just happy to see us?"
"I– since when do you make jokes like that?"
"Jokes like what?" Patton blinks back.
Janus rolls his eyes and brushes imaginary lint off his imaginary shoulder. "Nevermind. Weren't we discussing Thomas's never-ending cycle of conundrums?"
"Yeeeah," Virgil drags the word out. "You can't just act like we all can't see your hat moving."
"Yes, and we all heard it meowing," Logan muses, ignoring Janus's automatic hissing of, "You heard nothing!"
"But why the hat?" Thomas ponders.
Logan nods, also curious, "Is this a coping mechanism after the loss of Sacagawea the hamster?"
"May she rest in peace, amen," Patton prays while Roman performs a Catholic cross over himself.
Thomas glances at all of them, "You guys know that I never actually owned a pet hamster, right?"
"Dude, too soon," Virgil chides him, and Thomas has the consideration to look abashed.
Janus crosses his arms to look cool. He doesn't. He keeps tipping his head this way and that to keep his hat from toppling over.
"This is a perfectly normal way for me to stand," Janus says.
Roman secretly slides Remus five bucks. Remus dives onto the floor and army crawls behind Janus. Somehow everyone but Janus sees it.
"By all means, do keep staring," Janus says, guarded and on edge and his rolls definitely tootsied. What.
Remus rises up behind him. Off comes the hat.
"Mew!"
"Oh my goodness, that's so precious!!" Patton squeals.
The kitten is belly flopped on top of Janus's head. It's so small that it almost gets lost in the hair, if not for the stark contrast against Janus's lighter color.
"Hey Virgil, it looks just like you!" Roman crows, earning himself a well deserved middle finger.
"Drat, you've uncovered my secret," Janus drones and gives Remus a withering look that promises they will exchange words later. Remus is too wrapped up in giving little chin scritches to the kitty to be bothered.
Thomas also inevitably succumbs to cuteness overload, but he does manage to ask why the heck Janus felt like he needed to keep the cat a secret.
"Because Thomas," Janus throws his arm out to make his cloak flare out. For the drama. Then he flourishes his hand towards the cat on his head. "You weren't ready to meet this new side of yourself, but I guess the cat is out of the bag."
"The cat was under a hat, to clarify."
"LITERALLY NO ONE ASKED YOU, LOGAN!"
"No one ever does, and yet that would solve over half of Thomas's problems."
"When you mean new side, does that mean...?" Thomas asks Janus, his voice filling with wonder. His eyes are getting that crazed glint in his eyes, like he's five seconds away from becoming a Florida Man meme. The background music ramps up into a crescendo at this new epiphany. Thomas knew there were more sides he hadn't met, but to think–!
"No, no, no," Logan says, waving his hands in an X motion. "This is a misunderstanding created from Janus's misleading statement. Don't do this–whatever it is you're doing. Stop it."
Virgil weighs in as well, "Hate to break it to you, but your most animal side is Janus."
"Does this mean Thomas is a furry?" Remus gasps.
"Yesss," Janus hisses out. Then he thinks about it. "I mean no. I mean– what?"
"So what's the baby's name?" Patton asks. He has come close too to join Remus in the giving of scratchies. A noble cause!
"It's a black cat, so why not Catman?" Roman offers. "I am the darkness. I am the night. I am...Catman!"
"Very original," Virgil praises, but it's just subtly sarcastic enough that Roman gives an heartfelt, "Thank you!"
"Can I pet?" Thomas asks, hand reaching out hopefully.
The sides grimace and wince.
"Oooh, yeah, about that..."
"Sorry, man."
"You can't actually..."
"Imaginary, remember?"
"Maybe if you think really hard and imagine touching fur..."
"Don't patronize him. Not with this."
"Yeah, kitty buisness is serious buisness."
"Are we ever going to return to the original topic?"
"Cats take priority. Don't you know that?"
"By what parameters? And by whom?"
"It's like when a cat falls asleep in your lap. By law, you cannot disturb it. On pain of death."
"A bit overdramatic, but not wrong. It's an actual thing."
"Achoo!"
"Bless you."
"Thank you!"
"Patton, why are you petting a cat when you know you're allergic?"
"You would think that imaginary cats wouldn't agitate allergies."
"Thomas has a really vivid imagination."
"Why does everything innocent sound dirty coming out of your mouth?"
"Speaking of mouths and coming–"
Thomas, Patton, and Roman all shove their hands over their ears and scream, "LA LA LA!"
With everyone distracted (as part of Janus's master plan), Janus uses the moment of ensuing chaos to skeddadle away.
They never do learn the kitty's name, but they do eventually discover a horde of cats in Janus's room at some point, but that's another story.

and the fuckery continues - everywhere all at once but in local news our building may be considered unsafe and a nuisance cuz of construction and possible collusion or obfuscation anyway or maybe plain willful stupidity mixed w greed - its ongoing for years but maybe near end game and need to move if only for our sanity but this city is so fukken expensive and cant even imagine anywhere else
this seems as good a time as any - to finis for today

May 27: Are you a cat-owner? Do you have pictures of cats to share? Participate in our Caturday! It’s fun for the whole fan community. After all. every cat is the Curator’s cat.
Get Silly! The final 4 days of May are dedicated to three specific fan-favorite categories, much looser in structure:
May 28: Stables Sunday is a great day to share more work featuring canonical stables residents such as Bull or the Wil-o-Wisps, headcanon creatures that might additionally be housed by the Museum, or even continue ‘Curator’s Caturday’ by sharing some non-feline creatures from your personal camera roll.
May 29: Man with a Voice Monday is all about The Man with a Voice like Honey and Chocolate and Coffee all at once. Anything additional that happens to be Man with a Voice-related? Share it, post about it, talk about it on this day!
May 30: Audio Tour Guide Tuesday is Guide’s special day. All about the Guide. Much like Man with a Voice Monday, Tour Guide Tuesday is an extra day dedicated to the Audio Tour Guide.
May 31: Wrap-Up Wednesday is a leftover free-space day! Did you happen to miss a day during this month long celebration and you want a chance to post, share, or talk about something from earlier in May? Do it on May 31st! This blog, @audiotourguide will continue sharing anything in the #mistholme month tag up to 2 weeks after the 31st as well, just to keep our celebration and appreciation alive!

an extremely good Nefret Cat Thing is the process of her disappearances under the armchair, where her cat bed lives
there's a long stretch of highly suspicious inspection, as if one of Baby Sister's Hated Cats might somehow be lurking there despite not currently being part of the household, and then finally a lowering of the body and a slow fat wriggle into darkness
like a soldier edging forward on their belly thru enemy territory except the soldier is a fat white cat and the enemy is wholly imaginary
#one of these days i will think of it in time to take a video#it never occurs to me until she's far enough thru the wriggling stage that it would be over by the time i got set up#nefret cat#catblogging#domesticities#she is not in fact Nefret Cat at all times#originally it was just nefret and often in casual use it is nef and then when i'm feeling very babying it is nifflet or even niffle-iffle#said in a very 'what a delightful surprise it is to see & squish you!' sort of voice#but somehow on here it became nefret cat and i love that for her#a milnean level of archly absurd formality#or possibly something out of the just so stories‚ idk#there probably *is* a specific stylistic reference i'm just not quite identifying right now#but it's something in that register i think#anyway.#some Good Cat Nonsense for yr caturdays.

“Cats are connoisseurs of comfort.” - James Herriot
#caturday#catblr#petblr#cats of tumblr#Captain Sassyfrass#I bought her that bed specifically because it's colors are similar to hers!#protip: if your cat ignores a new bed try putting a t shirt you wear often in it for a few days#Or let it get rolled up in your bedding for a while#this is of course dependant on if the cat already finds your scent comforting and inviting

Cat owner voice: wow I can't imagine having a dog, they're so high maintenance. You have to let them out every now and again. Anyway, I have to drive across state lines to get the only kind food my cat is willing to eat.

can we have more cat content? They're super cute. Do they have a twitter or instagram or anything?
Hahaha! This blog is bit of a hot mess of mixed interests. However, I try to post pictures of my cat and/or cat themed drawings every Saturday. So if you Search this page for #caturday or #cats quite a few things will come up.
I have an Instagram @happyaspie123 that has some of my art and a few cat pics too. I really need to get better about posting there!
If you interested in something a bit more specific, cat content wise, let me know! I'll a what I can do.

Mecation: Day 3
Caturday
Monroe (left) and Wilson (right)
I keep dreaming about cats. My next long-term goal is to travel the US in a tiny house, so I’ve been road-tripping with my cats for two or three years now to help them adapt. It’s been more than a year since I stayed in a hotel without them, and I miss them.
The first night I dreamed the housekeeping staff brought me kittens to take care of. Last night I dreamed we were home, at the house I grew up in, and I was searching through my mother’s kitchen cabinets (because of course nothing was stored the way it actually was in real life--#dreamworld) for bowls to put their food in; specifically wide, shallow bowls that wouldn’t give them whisker fatigue.
I get up in the middle of the night and think, “Careful, don’t step on the cat” because Monroe likes to sleep on the bathroom mat right in front of the door, and I have stepped on or kicked him more than once (bless his heart). I left a skirt lying on the bed, then thought “no, they’ll get cat hair all over it” and turned around to hang it up before remembering there weren’t any cats here to shed on it. I can actually stretch my legs out in any direction in bed without the restriction of an 11-pound lump.
Gah, I’m making myself homesick. Anyway, enjoy the pics of my furballs, which were taken by the petsitter yesterday.
Today’s plan: I realized yesterday I was planning to eat dinner in the fancy hotel restaurant as a special treat without considering if I actually wanted to eat there. I looked at the menu again, decided I didn’t (truffles *shudder*), and switched that to brunch, so now I have to decide between french toast, pancakes, and an omelet. And of course Bacon! Some writing/chill time, then shower, get dressed, and makeup ‘cause I want to be ready to go out when I go downstairs for my spa appointments. I’ve decided to have dinner at The Cheesecake Factory (cheesecake is probably my very favorite dessert), and it turns out it’s at the nicest mall in town. I’ve been to this one before and wasn’t going to go this trip (it’s so fancy it would be just window-shopping for me--not a fan), but since I was going to be there anyway, I skimmed the directory and was like, “ohhh” “oooo” “ahhh” so an evening of shopping is in my future. But I need to pack and don’t want to be up too late, so an early dinner right after my appointments it is.
I’m kind of sad to go home tomorrow but am not gonna let that overshadow my last full day. I’ve written a lot and will probably put together some snippets to share with y’all :D

You know, I've read a lot of fics in which Cas is a cat person. But between "I'll interogate the cat" and "there's too many cats on the internet," I wonder if we've got it all wrong and Cas is actually the opposite of a cat person lol
I’m honestly glad you asked this, because it’s something I’ve been thinking about, but didn’t really have an angle of attack for discussing it, and you’ve provided one for me so I’m gonna sink my teeth into this one...
as I sit here looking at the cat fang scar on my arm from the time my brother in law’s giant of a cat named Orson really didn’t want to go to the vet and all 18 pounds of him ended up somehow dangling from my arm by his teeth... but that’s a story for another time... Back to Cas vs cats.
I do think that Cas would like *actual cats.* I have never really thought of him as a passionate lover of cats as some fics portray him, but I do enjoy reading that in fic for other reasons. It’s often treated humorously, because of Dean’s specified canon allergy to cats, to give Cas a pet cat that he loves dearly to Dean’s eternal suffering in the name of love... well that’s cute, right? Right! But in no way do I think Cas *hates* cats, either.
Since s11, we’ve seen both Chuck and Amara engage with cat blogs-- Amara is seen enjoying one for fun, and we later learn that one of Chuck’s pet projects has been running a cat blog on the internet. So, it shows both how Amara and Chuck are similar, but also how they are different. Two sides of the coin-- cat blog creator and curator, and cat blog enthusiast.
But Cas wasn’t talking about the entire internet in 15.15, he was specifically talking about social media sites:
JACK: I’m looking up Connor online. Like Sam always says, when in doubt, try social media. (the site he is on is called “Palz”)
CAS: Oh yeah, I did. Once. There were so many cat photos. It was just... there were too many cats.
So he was specifically referring to Social Media, and not the internet as a whole. Makes me wonder what social media site he was on, and if it was the same one where Chuck kept his cat blog... or maybe he just made his account on Caturday and assumed it was like that every day? We just don’t know.
But in the context of what we know about Chuck, his meddling in their lives, etc., I think it’s a fair meta point that Cas was dissatisfied with his social media experience for lack of social contact and the heavy media focus on cats... kinda like how on 2012 tumblr it was hard to find a post that didn’t get overrun with supernatural gifs...
So that’s mostly how I’m choosing to read it, at least without further clarification in canon. He’s just not on the same page with Chuck, social media wise or otherwise.
tl;dr: Cas is fine with cats. It’s overly enthusiastic cat bloggers (and specifically Chuck) he doesn’t care for.
