I'd love Zhu Hong to take her under her wing scales, actually. And maybe Changcheng, once Da Ji has got over her anti-human prejudice.

Zhu Hong big-sistering her could definitely be fun! And give her an opportunity to show (or develop) a more rounded personality. Changcheng's unrelenting niceness would probably baffle her haha

(I was actually thinking of the third cat for Da Qing, though. It would be interesting to see how he reacted -- whether he really wants another cat friend just because they're a cat, or whether he'd find he preferred the SID team anyway.

Ah yeah I was just thinking that even if Da Qing wouldn't prefer a new cat to, say, Zhao Yunlan, it wouldn't be hard for him to prefer them to Da Ji. Which she'd presumably find upsetting, in the way that she finds all of his relationships upsetting. But no "you can't trust humans" rejection of reality there!

Cats aren't famous for their intra-cat sociability, after all. *g*)

Hee true! And maybe why we see so much fewer of them in canon (besides their supposed rareness) if they're all spread out in their own territories. Though housecats are actually at the high-end of the cat sociability scale (sisters often coparent! and some form clowders!) so it doesn't feel like friends at least is too much of a reach? And Da Qing does seem to be pretty good at making friends
