Alexandre and Ming Ming

Ming Ming wants the same treatment as Alexandre: when Mamiecath has Alexandre on her laps, she wants to sit there too; she wants me to hold her the exact same way I hold Alexandre; and here, you see what she takes from him!
But according to mamiecath, she is becoming gentler to him, and the teacher is Virus the cat. She learnt from the cat that if she approached it too heavy-handedly, the cat would run away, and she got to be as gentle to Alexandre as to the cat.
