Oh, Maleena knew Skuld better than the wiley calico likely knew herself.  Yes, indeed, the top 3 priorities in Skuld’s life were as follows:<br/><br/>Food.<br/>Sleep.<br/>Explore.<br/><br/>The last two vied for second place but neither could outshine Skuld’s numero uno; her greatest motivator; her raison d'être; her infatuation with food.<br/><br/>If Skuld were human she’d be considered a huge foodie and if she didn’t have a lightening quick metabolism she’d likely balloon out to show it, too.  Even by cat people standards Skuld had an unusually fast metabolism, which has given some of her caretakers pause and worries about a medical condition, but all (unwilling) trips to specialists procured nothing but high bills and a grumpy Skuld.   One would suppose that she needed all that extra energy to fuel her times of feline insanity…<br/><br/>At present her ears perked at the exact moment Maleena’s did: at Akira’s mention of sashimi.<em>Tuna</em>and<em>salmon</em>sashimi.  However, her reaction was far less elegant than Maleena’s approving purr and lip licking:<br/><br/>"Sashimi??"<br/>She stared wide-eyed and<em>completely</em>awake right now, sleepy tears utterly forgotten, her entire form buzzed with growing excitement and energy, hands clinging on to the front of Akira's shirt.<br/><br/>"Can we get some now? Please? Please? Pretty please? Oh, Maleena - let's save cuddling for later! Pretty please with sprinkles on top??"<br/>Her voice rumbled with her purring, eyes wide and pleading.  She knew very well that this worked quite well on humans!
