Steve is unlike any other creature. He is a lemur cat. But he isn't perfect. He has his flaws and his quirks: just like everyone.
Curiosity
Steve is a curious creature. He loves to go exploring and see new things. His curiosity can lead to cool new discoveries, but it also causes him to be distracted easily which isn't always a good thing.Fooling Around:
Steve is one of a kind, but he still has his moments. Like letting out a few silent but deadly farts. He enjoys the big ones that allow him to be rocketed across the room. Sometimes he likes to pretend that he is a little rocket, shooting across the night sky as he lets some gas out.Lounging Around:
Steve is an energetic little lemur cat, but even he enjoys his little moments to himself. Sometimes he would scavenge the nearby forests searching for the perfect tree to take a nap in. Once his eyes lock onto that perfect tree; it's only a matter of time till his little paws are clawing up the tree to get onto a branch. He would move around till getting into the perfect position. Like his cat counterpart, he likes to be in uncomfortable positions for which he deems are comfortable for him.Fright:
Steve is not unknown to the fear bug. He too gets scared. Once, he walked past a mirror and got scared by his own reflection.Like his feline girlfriend, he likes to crawl into various spaces - even if it is way too small for him. One afternoon while his human was out cleaning the flower vases, Steve had decided that he would plop himself into one of them. Walking up to the clear cylinder object, he sniffed the top of it before leaping head first into it. As he was gracefully falling into the vase, a thought came to him that he might not fit in the strange object. Landing on his front paws, he had just barely managed to squeeze his flexible body into the tall clear cup. The only thing that stuck out was his tail which he had draped over the outside of the glass surface. It was comfortable-ish. He would then try to get out before realizing that he was stuck. He would then have to wait for his human to return and pull him out. How embarrassing.
The Dryer
Steve loved to leap into the dryer once it had finished a load and his human left the door open. The lemur cat loved the warmth and squishy feeling that the freshly clean and dry clothes gave him as he would hop into the dryer and curl up. He didn't have a care about how his human would feel about their clean clothes attracting his loose hairs.
So beware, if you leave the door to your dryer open with your clean and dry clothes in it. You may end up attracting a visitor to it.
A sign to tell if your dryer has been invaded by a lemur cat is: its long grey with red stripped tail sticking out and swaying about.If you see a grey with red stripped furry tail sticking out of your dryer after you have left the door open, chances are Steve has paid you a visit.
