You seem quite stressed. Perhaps sitting down with your cat by your side and snuggling with them will help alleviate some of that stress. But didn't notice that a stack of papers had fallen off the couch and your cat jumped off as well

You suddenly realized that you needed something to squish to help you alleviate stress and began to search for your cat while reading the papers. You found them and put them on her lap.

You softly stroked the ears, feeling something that felt like antlers. You were surprised by the sound of whimper..? and looked up to see Alastor with a frustrated look on his face, his ears drooping. You realized that you had accidentally have him laying on your lap

his ears were much more sensitive
