Chapter Text
Cat knew that he was gaining more cat tendencies the longer he held his miraculous. He could already purr, though it was only when he was content right now. After Malediktator, he found that lasers would steal his focus from anything else he was doing. Don’t even get him started on the number of times he had been caught swatting at dangling yarn or ribbon by Marinette, or the fact it was getting harder and harder to ignore that urge while he was around Ladybug. Why did she have to have ribbons around her twin tails anyway?!
However, today was, by far, the most embarrassing event to date. He had come to Marinette’s after a bad day of photoshoots with ‘the harpy’, knowing she would let him relax and vent, cautiously of course, about his day while she worked on a new design. Maybe they would watch a movie or play video games, anything to get the feel of Lila pawing all over him to go away.
When he arrived, Marinette let him in with a smile and disappeared to get some snacks from downstairs, leaving Cat to get comfortable. He had turned toward the chaise when something caught his eye. At the time, his fur-brain thought it was the purrfect spot to curl up. Now, however, it was probably the worst decision he has made to date.
Because there was Marinette laying on the floor laughing hissterically at his expense, the tray forgotten on the desk above her.
Chat glared before pulling the flaps of the cardboard box closed, determined to ignore the laughing and the stuttered ‘if I fits, I sits’ comments coming from his supposed friend.
