catxian was, is an asset to yunmeng jiang sect.
when he was adopted, he was scrawny and undeveloped, and it took a while for him to look like a healthy child of his age but they got there.
wei wuxian liked to be petted either as cat or human, and can, and will, bite or slap your hand away when after he had enough. he loves his shijie lap the most, her hands are always soft and gentle, making him purr loudly.
madam yu liked to put him as a cat in her lap when dealing with difficult people, or when she just didn't like them (almost everyone), making him be still and staring eerily at them as she caressed his back slowly and menacingly.
(he was a black cat, after all, something passed down from his father)
jiang shushu liked to play with him as a cat a lot, and mostly away from the public eye, tossing a ball or dragging a ribbon with a content smile on his face every time wei wuxian acted like a true cat.
wei wuxian looked extremely small beside his sect mates when they were in their animal forms - all jiangs were tigers nevertheless how far from the main family they were, and most of the disciples were big animals.
and although wei wuxian was a very friendly cat who loves cuddles and scratches and petting, he definitely does not want any stranger touching him, often turning aggressive.
all the jiang disciples present were as shocked as one could be when they saw their da-shixiong headbutting lan wangji's feet on the first day of classes in the cloud recesses, purring loudly and happily when the young master used his finger to scratch between his ears.
who was lan wangji, after all, to say no to such a cute creature? even more when he cuddled and bathed the bunnies him himself gave as gifts to lan wangji.
the only one not amused at all was lan qiren. he was forced to follow the "love all animals" rule but, if he was honest, or not a lan, he would say he hates cats the most.
(especially because cangse sanren was a white cat herself - the reason behind wei wuxian white paws)
