Sometimes, Pearl really didn't understand cats. Cat Steven could be almost as annoying as Lion.
One day, Pearl happened to be alone in the beach house with Cat Steven, when she heard the cat meowing. Garnet had just refilled Cat Steven's bowl of water that morning, but Cat Steven's food dish was almost empty.
Pearl opened a can of salmon-flavoured cat food and delicately spooned the food into the proper dish, placing it in front of the cat.
"There you are."
Cat Steven just looked down at the plate of food and didn't even nibble or lick at it.
"Well, what are you waiting for?" Pearl asked.
Cat Steven turned around and started to walk away.
"Oh, really!" Pearl exclaimed in pure exasperation. "You keep crying for food, but you refuse to eat it! You're doing this just to annoy me, aren't you?"
Cat Steven stopped and simply stared at Pearl without blinking.
The sound of the can being opened had attracted Lion. He entered the kitchen, hoping it might be tuna, but when he saw that it was salmon-flavoured cat food, he walked off in disgust, with Cat Steven following him.
Pearl groaned and smacked her forehead.
"Lion, please don't encourage her!"
