Why do cats dislike Tyson?

Tyson is, almost, always around his dogs which means that any cat he interacts with smell dog on him. This makes a lot of cats weary of him.

However, Tyson adores cats (almost) as much as dogs and he's good at reading their body language. He can usually win them over if he's given enough time.

The age difference between Tyson and his face claim Damien Molony.

Tyson is, at the point in time this was written, thirty one. Damien Molony is only twenty eight.

This, admittedly slight, age gap is to make Tyson seem younger. To show how he has suppressed information. His brain has created a state of denial to protect him from the trauma he has endured which makes him seem younger, more innocent and naïve.

The age gap is three years, for a good reason: Tyson was with Sebastian for three years which means he had suppressed, almost, all of those three years making him seem three years younger than he actually is. 

Tyson's apartment incredibly difficult to navigate - an explanation of why.

Here is a picture of Tyson's apartment:



The living room especially is cramped with lots of potential to trip over, even though Tyson keeps the rooms tidy and floor as clear as possible, part of his low level OCD. The small corridor that leads from the front door into the living room is made more difficult to move through because that is where Tyson stores his bike, meaning that should one wish to enter the living room they'd have to sidestep a mountain bike. This isn't just because I failed to scale my sketch correctly. It is done because of how Tyson moves.

Tyson, when at home, moves around on his tiptoes. In the words of Sebastian Moran (or Jethro, depending on the verse / if he's interacting with a different Sebastian), "the kid prances around like a pixie." He is trained in classical dance and ballroom dancing. When he moves around the room he really does move like a pixie. It's as though his feet never touch the floor. He goes up on the pads of his feet and, essentially dances around the room, through a series of pivots, though always accommodating for where his dogs are in the room. He only ever does this in company if he is comfortable with the other person, otherwise he'll walk with his feet flat - as he does when in public. It is one of the many ways Tyson tried to control his life, to make it more organised. When his is comfortable he is up which means he has to concentrate to walk as most people would, it helps him stay focused and give him a sense of control in the scenerio.

He knows the layout of his apartment like the back of his hand so can navigate it easily despite having to side step around most of the apartment; and normally having awful balance. For anyone else though it is a death trap made four times as hard by having two Dalmatians wondering around it. Lily and Bobby also find getting relatively easy, because they are dogs.
