When you do - fam g 'stuff' with a shadowcat, you groom yourself. I would think it should be shortform for get instead of groom, not that it matters, since the fam can't pick anything up anyway. Still, seeing how every other fam that I know of, raven, quasit, dragon and owl have g mean get, it just seems a little bunko that g should be groom.

It's how command parsing works.
