If he REALLY likes you, he likes belly rubs too.Marble; Giving you an ounce of attention that isn’t him trying to hiss, swat and bite you, and kneading your tender human flesh with his razor claws. Lots of slow blinks.

20. How do you express love for them?

All of the regular human-on-cat smothering, plus too many toys for them to ever use, no less than half a dozen empty cardboard boxes set up randomly throughout the apartment at any given time, access to every surface other than the kitchen counters, and cuddles/pets/playtime whenever they want. 

21. Any theories on what breed?

Sinn; Could get away with saying bombay mix probably?Vertigo; Probably a Norwegian forest mix, he hits all the breed standards but he’s not as pretty and regal looking as registered ones.Marble; LKSJDflkjsdf vague shrugging he’s really long and lean and has a mildly oddly shaped head, so maybe some oriental in there????

22. Do they ever wake you up?

Sinn does constantly, Vertigo will on occasion, and Marble is a Good Boy who never does.

23. How much do they meow?

Sinn; When he wants attention, which is pretty much always.Vertigo; Will literally hold a whole conversation with you, he’s very vocal.Marble; Rarely. And he doesn’t really meow, he kind of. Gargles and gives tiny, high pitched ‘Hhheeeee’s (we call them song mows)

5:30 sharp, or Vertigo throws a goddamn fit about being late

36. Do you cut their nails?

Yep. Sinn sits patiently and probably just thinks it’s weird cuddling. Vertigo is mostly declawed. He has his back claws and one front claw. I cut the front claw whenever I see that it’s getting too long AND MARBLE tries to kill me, but yes. It takes me three days because we can only get a few toes in at a time, and lots of courage.

Yeah, at least to some extent. They definitely know certain words, including their names, and they’re good at cluing into moods and body language.

Constantly.

Fairly regularly.

46. Ever got lost?

Sinn; Nope. He got out once. We didn’t even know, and he got scared and cried at us from under the porch as we were about to leave the apartment. We heard him were just “??? Is THAT SINN?? WHERE?????” and he came running out to us like it was the most terrifying ten minutes of his life.Vertigo; No, he only goes outside if I go outside, and he wont leave a five foot radius of me.Marble; Once. Friends of ours didn’t shut the door all the way and he was missing for several ours. Turns out he made it thirty feet down the parking lot and into a dumpster and was too scared to come out until he heard us calling for him. It was a terrifying experience for all involved.

47. Do you buy them presents?

For every Christmas! And occasionally randomly throughout the year

48. Do they respond when you call?

Yep, they all know their names :)

49. Do they ever see other cats?

Very rarely. Vertigo and Marble hate other cats. Sinn wants to be friends with everything.

50. Declawed?

Vertigo is half declawed. As mentioned above, most of his front claws were removed for medical reasons. He’s a big, male cat with polydactyly, meaning he has extra digits. A lot of polydactyl cats end up with extremely thick, ingrown claws. Vertigo is no exception. His back claws are ungodly thick and grow really long, but luckily don’t curve much. His front claws, however, constantly curved until the points were embedding into his paw pads and would get infected and be painful. After struggling with it for years, we decided it would be less stressful on him to get them removed and we could deal with pain management for arthritis he’ll likely have as a result when he’s older. So far so good, though, and he has no problems with his feets.

51. Funniest expression?

Sinn; full, open mouthed squealing. He’s so dark, but his teeth are so white that it looks ridiculousVertigo; sometimes gets his cheek fluff or chest fluff stuck in his mouth after grooming and it’s so goofyMarble; goes cross-eyed when he yawns

52. Favorite place to be pet?

Sinn; e v e r y w h e r e   everywhereVertigo; his head, or if he’s into it that day, his bellyMarble; under his chin

53. Worst thing they’ve destroyed?

They don’t destroy things, they’re very good boys

54. Give them a head kiss.

Gladly, but I already do more often then they probably want... Except Sinn. He wants all the kisses.

55. What time of the year is most exciting for them?

Sinn; Summer, he loves the sun!Vertigo; Winter, he loves the snow!Marble; I’m not sure he has a preference 

56. Are they good at hunting real prey?

No..... Sinn makes friends with everything. The other two suck. We had a mouse in our apartment once, and had to buy a mouse trap. Three cats, and we had to buy a mouse trap slksjdf They would die if they ever got lose and couldn’t be found

57. Do they ever attack nothing?

Yes! They’ll randomly pounce on nothing, and it usually turns into playing amongst themselves or with a nearby toy.

58. What are they doing right now?

Sinn; snuggling meVertigo; somewhere in a different room, probably sitting in a boxMarble; laying at the foot of the bed, squinting at me

61. Ever baby-talk to them?

I mean. You read their nicknames, right...? (yes)

62. Favorite napping position?

Sinn; curled up in the crook of my armVertigo; on his back in the middle of the floor where he can easily be stepped on and yell at you for itMarble; classic cat side saddle lay at the foot of the bed, head either up or on crossed paws

63. Have you ever stepped on their paw?

They all like the patio door and the humming bird feeder out there, and the front window, where the watch people walk around like it’s a sport

67. Describe why they are precious.

Sinn; perfect, sweet, adorable little angle Vertigo; so grumpy, but when he’s happy, he’s so deeply happy and purrs so loudly and freely and he’s probably the most loyal cat I’ve ever seenMarble; winning his affection is so rewarding and he’s such a sweet boy when it finally happens. He’s also derpy as hell when he’s comfortable around you and will let you lion king him and throw him over your shoulder

68. Fit the cat stereotype?

Sinn; lol noVertigo; yesMarble; Yes, but fierce 

69. Chaotic neutral?

I would say for all three?

70. Do they enjoy following/ keeping you company?
