#you’ve combined my love of cats and domestic steddie and hoh!steve here kat

I got to see my niece again today! She’s like an hour and a half away so I don’t get to make the trip much, but lookit her face!

But she’s very different from my parents cat, who is very large and does not stop talking and loves belly rubs more than anything

(This is him before his winter weight, he does tricks for food because my dad trained him. This particular picture was taken as he was being cute in order to get a third breakfast)

Now, I imagine Eddie and Steve’s second cat to be orange. My three big reasons are 1.) Halloween colors, 2.) dark and bright fit their different aesthetics, and 3.) love me an adorable idiot and boy orange cats are all wonderful idiots. Of all the cats I had, the orange ones were the dumbest and I loved them all for it.

Steve acts like the cats are all Eddie’s, he didn’t even want them, not his job to take care of them, but he also went through all their houseplants to make sure all of them were cat safe, he gets a special locking trash can, feeds them cat safe people food when he’s cooking, and talks to them in the softest voice ever. Eddie snuck down one morning and found him making extra tiny mini pancakes as he’s making regular ones for him and Eddie, even letting their little walking shadow perch on his shoulder as he cooks because that one likes to be tall.

(Eddie has one of those pouch hoodies for the orange cat who likes to be carried like a baby all the time. It surprisingly doesn’t care about the noise when Eddie practices his music and they later find out it’s deaf. I like to think of Steve having some hearing damage - either a little or a lot - from his concussions so having a deaf cat just hits home a little more for them)

I’m making feral noises rn because a) your cats are so cute and I love them!!

and b) YOU ARE SO RIGHT. oh my God, this image of Steve making mini-pancakes for them made my heart grow three sizes, and HOH!Steve is truly my beloved. Steve tries not to have favorites (“they’re like our kids, I can’t pick a favorite!” whenever anyone asks) but he knows deep down the little orange kiddo has him wrapped around his paw!
