Frenemies...

Frenemies - 

Noun. 

1. An enemy disguised as a friend. 
2. Kyo and Artemis

These two furballs were cuddled up in my lap like this earlier this afternoon. Not for very long, mind you...but it did happen. I have evidence!

I should point out that Artemis was here first. Kyo rarely/never will come sleep on my lap of his own volition. What he is doing in this photograph is a show of dominance. He is merely reminding Artemis that he, Kyocera the Great and Powerful, is the Alpha kitty, and master of this domicile.

Anyway, I thought this would be an excellent opportunity to discuss the relationship between Kyo and Artemis.

From Artemis' point of view, Kyo is a big, scary bully who commandeers the food dish and the large hairless cat at every opportunity.

From Kyo's point of view, Artemis is a mildly irritating obstacle that tends to occupy all the best spots in the house...the back of the sofa, the top pedestal on the cat tree, the kitchen window, and above all else - the lap of the large hairless cat.


I imagine their conversations go something like this:

Kyo: "Dude. You're in my spot."

Artemis: "But..."

Kyo: "Dude. Move. Now."

Artemis: "PLEASE DON'T EAT ME."

Kyo: "Okay, fine. I will totally and utterly ignore your white, fluffy, fraidy-cat butt, if you move it OUT OF MY SPOT."

Artemis: "Okay. We cool, bro?"

Kyo: "We cool."
