When we first got Kershach, he used to be more of a cuddler. He was always too fussy to be much of a lap cat if you picked him up, but when it was clear you'd planted yourself in one spot for awhile, he'd often show up.

This was often the case when ratzeo sat down in front of a video game, even when it was one as loud and violent as Dead Space. The evidence, from 3 years ago:









He's gotten pretty skittish over the past couple of years (ever since we got Drannor and he realized his grand self-image as an unstoppable badass was incorrect ... but he seems to really love Drannor so I don't feel too bad). Most of the time he'll leap off our laps in terror if we try to put him there. Only once in a blue moon is ratzeo or I graced with the presence of a lap!Kershach.

Just now, though, Kershach sauntered up to ratzeo and settled himself in his lap. Incidentally, ratzeo had just sat down to start up Dead Space 2. Because space horror with screaming alien monsters is ... comforting?

I don't understand my cat.
