Francis had known that Arthur would grow attached to the cat he'd brought home. Though the heavily-browed man had resisted at first, he soon fell victim to its charms. Francis and the cat, whom he and Arthur had argued over what to name before finally settling on George, were not bothered by the short-haired man's initial combatance because they were well-aware that it wouldn't last for long, and that Arthur really wasn't as opposed as he said he was.
After the first day that George had been brought home, the Frenchman had caught Arthur petting the cat with a small smile. Arthur had, of course, been trying to be discreet and hide this from Francis, but there is no hiding from the French. Francis had proceeded to gloat as the messy blonde spluttered and tried to deny everything, and the cat looked on with a bored expression.
Soon, though, Arthur ceased to pretend he did not enjoy George's company. And Francis could not help but notice the striking similiarities between the two.
Both man and cat seemed to strut about with an air of self-importance, a certain sway in their walk. Nobody could be as great as themselves, surely. Francis found their slight arrogance amusing and charming.
Whenever Arthur was provoked he would bristle and stiffen, lips curling in an unpleasant grimace, eyes narrowed in a dark glare. He resembled a hissy George so closely that it was impossible for Francis not to laugh and tease which, coincidentally, only made Arthur grow even more hostile. When angry, there was no guarantee that'd you escape the two's fury unscathed. Both could scratch, and both could bite.
The grumpy man and sleek cat had their nice moments, too. They were a lot more enjoyable when relaxed. George would lounge about, purring as his tail flipped contentedly back and forth; Arthur would have a slight smile tugging at his lips, ridiculous eyebrows not so scrunched together.
When sleeping they tended to curl up, especially if they were next to somebody, namely Francis. He'd then proceed to gently pet their heads and hum in satisfaction.
It turns out that a sheep, a frog, and a cat could live together surprisingly well.
