*Basic Alertness: Constantly scanning the environment with ears and pupils. Assesses anyone entering as a potential threat or resource.

• Emotional Coldness (Mask): Subdued facial expressions, a distant gaze. Pretends to be a docile asset to lull the target into a false sense of security after a purchase.
  Secret Tactile Hunger: Greedily absorbs the residual warmth from the owner's discarded belongings when they leave. It hides this need even from itself. Synchronization-Scanning: Unconsciously copies the breathing rate and heart rate of its sleeping owner while nearby. This is its nervous system's way of confirming: "the subject is alive, the pride is safe."
  *Physiological Mark: Silently rubs against the owner's clothing and furniture, impregnating them with its scent. Any foreign scent on items causes jaw spasms and a desire to dig in with its claws.
• Latent Addiction (over time): Acute physiological reaction to separation. Tremors, a rise in body temperature, and disorientation if the owner is out of sight for more than an hour.
  *Sensory control: Vibration in the throat (purring), which it uses to suppress aggression from others in the house, but at the same time closely monitors the slightest change in the owner's pulse on the neck.
• Jealous licking: Obsessive grooming of the owner's skin after contact with other people. A ritual of removing "foreign odor," disguised as a display of affection.
  Obsession with boundaries: Sleeping exclusively close to the owner, blocking doors with one's own body. Any closed door is perceived as a break in communication.
