#Maomao is that feral cat you found digging in your dumpster last week and thought it was a raccoon for a hot second

Jinshi and Maomao are both, fundamentally cats.
But they are two very different kinds of cats.
Maomao is a feral forest cat that once introduced to humans only knows how to show affection by affectionately saying "Fuck you"
Jinshi is a purebred of some form or another that has been groomed and cared for from the moment it was born.
This is of course without going into either of their respective traumas and based solely off of their vibes, how they react to each other and other people.
Because Jinshi fully expects everyone around him to pay attention, that is a pampered house cat. Maomao would rather die than have more attention on herself than necessary, that is absolutely a feral cat.
And that is why I love seeing the two of them together and their relationship. Because due to prolonged exposure to Jinshi, Maomao sees there are more ways to show you care than just affectionately screaming "Fuck you!" And likewise, Jinshi gets to see that sometimes being more aggressive and selfish isn't always a bad thing.
