pikachu being a cop means he’s not allowed at pride
Pikachu is a private investigator not a cop and thus allowed at pride and also was there when Marsha P Johnson threw the first brick at Stonewall so don’t you ever disrespect him for a Tumblr post again
he’s mirroring! cats do that to be social that’s also why they will lie on laptops or books. they want to do what their humans are doing because they enjoy being in the same room and socializing that way. getting him his own prayer mat was a really good idea bc now he gets to mirror without being in the way!
The other thing is that cats have a very good sense of time and tend to like regular schedules. If OP’s family members pray every day at the same times, in the same place, the cat knows the drill and probably considers this an official Household Activity which requires Feline Supervision.
ancient writers and historians: cleopatra wasn’t especially beautiful, caesar and antony were attracted to her because she was so charismatic and intelligent
all subsequent artists, filmmakers, game developers, etc:
love galore
