[Neil is locked in a sort of stand-off with Little Neil, resident cat and his namesake. Not that they are standing-- both are crouched on their stomachs on the ground with matching vacant expressions. This goes on for some time. Those who continue watching the feed, however, will eventually see Neil rise to his arms and knees and look pointedly at the screen, and then back at Little Neil, as though imploring those watching to do something about the situation at hand.

Finally, Little Neil raises a paw and swipes at Neil's face. Neil recoils for a split second, and then the two chase each other off screen.]

You're having a stare down with your cat. Clearly it's not good for you.

[Neil considers this for a moment. He goes and grabs a cat toy and paces over to where Little Neil is hiding under the couch, and nudges the toy forward as a means of peace offering.

And then he looks back at the screen for praise.]

[Well at least that clears one thing up. Totally cursed. The correct response to Neil's behavior in this instance is clearly to laugh.]

Okay. Just for that. You've earned more Left 4 Dead time.

[Neil lifts his head proudly, then leaps forward and nuzzles against the device, obviously pleased with this turn of events.]

I swear if this is a ploy to get me to come over there and scratch your belly...I might beat you but you are entirely too cute today.

[He tilts his head to the side and flashes the most innocent expression he can manage. C'mon, no one can doubt that face, right?]

[It makes Lucy giggle] Do you have someone to give you milk and rub your ears for you?

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

[Neil isn't sure how to answer this. Instead, he licks the screen.]

[Which makes her laugh again.] I'm going to take that as a yes. Stay inside. I know it looks like outside cats have the life but they are at a lot higher risk of getting hurt.

[He takes this opportunity to chase an an imaginary bug around the room, swatting at the air and finally imaginarily pinning it against the wall and pretending to brutally murder it. Surely this is a sufficient demonstration of how tough and capable he is?]

I could bring Masha over for you to play with. [It's adorable. Really. Lucy wants to hug him.]

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

[Neil runs around in a quick, enthusiastic circle and grins encouragingly. Friends? Playing? Sounds fun!]

I'll be over with her in a few minutes.
