I was protected by my cats today.

Earlier my sister and her family moved in with us temporarily until their house is done with refurbishing. They brought their cat Fufu with them. I’m familiar with Fufu and knew he’s not a good tempered cat. For the last few days he was ok and didn’t attacked me, so I went to say hi to him. He was offended. Once I turned my back to him he attacked my leg. I screamed. Cell and Cici appeared, side by side. Cell approached Fufu first, she wasn’t too familiar with the whole fighting scene, so her appearance didn’t made much impact. Then Cici walked forward, she lowered her neck and head (I guess that’s a threatening pose in cat world), hissed him. Fufu, being x2 size of her was scared and ran away. This clearly isn’t some cat issue anymore. They are protecting me. I was moved. They probably recognise me as family. After Fufu left, Cici put her head around my wounded leg, I wasn’t sure if she’s marking it or trying to make me feel better or both. Normally Cici acts insecure around the house (it’s getting better), like not sure if she should sleep on the sofa or should hide somewhere dark, or look at my face for a clue before playing with toys. She’s a fighter. This is the first time I see this side of her.
