Saja thought he would surprise a snoozing Spice with a friendly pounce. It did not go as he expected.

(PS: They are both fine now)

Is Spice judging you? Yes.

Did you do something for which you deserve to be judged? Oh, probably.
Spice is being very very patient with you right now. You know that, yes?
