Two cats, and
their very firm opinions.
The studio shares its workspace with two senior partners. They review every model before it leaves the office. Approval is conditional, and usually requires food.
Shiitake 香菇
Tiny, devoted, and absolutely never done talking. Shiitake has something to say about breakfast, about your meeting, about that sound from three rooms away. She will follow you everywhere, love you fiercely, and then make a unilateral decision you didn't see coming. Deeply smart. Deeply opinionated. Deeply yours.
“She has the floor. She has always had the floor.”
Mantou 馒头
Impeccably composed on the outside. A five-act tragedy on the inside. Mantou conducts himself with the quiet dignity of someone who has never once raised his voice — and doesn't need to, because his tail does it for him. Kinked since rescue, it curls and twitches with a candor the rest of him refuses to show.
“A prince. With a very honest tail.”
Every plan needs a sun spot.
Built-ins must accommodate napping.
Hallways should always lead somewhere good.
Linen, wool, and oak are scratchable.
