Prompt: Six's view on cats, and the story behind her name, are the same story.
When Six was a puppy, the breeder thought it wise to introduce a litter of kittens to the puppies to socialize both with the opposite species. Of course, this was closely monitored for their safety. Six had been asleep and was awoken by a sibling poking her. She poked it back with her eyes still closed, going back to sleep. This same thing proceeded to happen three more times, the pokings getting progressively harder between her and her sibling. Finally, after the fifth poke, she opened her eyes to snarl... only to see the biggest blue eyes she'd ever seen right at her nose! For six long seconds, she and the black kitten stared at each other, the kitten with curiosity, Six with fear. Then Six took off, and tried to get as far from the kitten as she could. It kept chasing her! Six was terrified.
For weeks afterwards, she jumped at the sight of her own shadow, expecting it to open bright blue eyes and extend a sharp-clawed paw to poke her. Her siblings, naturally, found the whole thing hilarious. But Six knew. She knew. That kitten would be back. And while she knows that by this point she would be many times the size of the cat, she continues to live in fear of those blue eyes reaching out from the shadows.
