#maybe less important than dog whiskers even

[kicktwine]

i have been rotating your ffxiv specbio in my head for several days so if you don't mind my asking, would you be willing to elaborate on some of the specbio for miqo'te and lalafell, if you've not done so already?

OF COURSE im gonna focus a bit more on miqo since the main points of lalas were in that doodle 

first of all: miqote would be lesser cats — unable to roar, but able to hiss and purr and chirp and yowl! and they do, do this, often. baby miqo are constantly mewling and chirping and crying, and that’s where a communal child rearing culture comes in handy, because you would not make one parent deal with a very needy (and blind for a month) baby alone. Adult miqo use vocalization for emphasis, along with gesture and expression. They very often express two emotions at once while in conversation with their words/expressions and body language, which makes understanding others’ intentions harder for them. Ex: sad tail, angry ears = upset, happy tail, angry face = teasing, angry tail, angry hands = furious. They might get confused if there’s no tail to denote teasing. Tails are used for balance And emotion, ears are used for listening and emotion, etc, sometimes more so than facial expression, which can sometimes look inexpressive to those who haven’t taught themselves how to emote communicatively among other races.

They are fuzzy all over! like my friend izutsumi. Sun cats are usually less furry, having only translucent-to-tip colored fuzz but some moon keepers can get VERY furry, like Maine coons. It tends to be longest on the forearms, ankles, back (like a cheetah ruff, some miqo have a line of long fur going down to their tail. Whole body Mohawk), and stomach trail, and shortest on the face, most having only peach fuzz up there. Fur length can vary no matter the miqo, and fur pattern also varies - unlike cats, stripes or spots will sometimes color the skin as well. Prominent fur patterns are pretty rare. Please do not shave your miqo’te, it was a bit more popular a few years ago and it turns out it can lead to very patchy or ingrown coats that require shaving for the rest of ever. They have rough tongues and they have brushes and combs, they can take care of their fur, and sometimes other miqos’ fur. Grooming, though, is either for baby or for people you’re close with. Babies are scrungly.

My friend Izutsumi vv

Miqo can digest raw meat, but it’s really more of a you can eat tree bark if you’re lost in the woods situation. The correct thing to do is bring the hunt back home, so everyone can cook and eat. They are not obligate carnivores, but their systems need more meat than a hyur would. They have non-retractable claws, and every miqo has fangs, though sun seekers tend to have bigger chunkier fangs and moon keepers thinner and longer canines. It has to do with the size/type of their prey. 

They also have slightly looser skin like a cat. This doesn’t really mean they have wrinkles all over, it means they’re a bit stretchy? They can wriggle their naturally lithe bodies into weird positions to climb and run, and if you give a miqo a mochi kiss it will look like a cartoon. Older male cats (mostly, but it can happen to anyone) will often develop tomcat jowls as they age, and it’s basically balding for a cat in the societal sense, because miqo don’t bald with age. Their fur gets scraggly (but there are hairless cats out there). It’s often considered attractive! Some families consider it a sign that the cat is getting too old. 

Miqo’te can see in the dark, and have a reflective layer in their eyes. moon keepers are very adept at darkvision, having near perfect vision at night, and have a little trouble in bright desert sun, while sun seekers have to deal with vastly reduced color perception at night and have pupils that can go very thin to block out sun. Their cheetah face marks help with this!

Lalafell, too, have a difference in eye biology across their species. Only dunesfolk have a thin third eyelid, to repel sand while keeping their eyes open, while plainsfolk have eyes that work similar to a sun seeker. No layered eyelid, just a vertical pupil. All of them have tapetum lucidum. 

Also, last point for fun, lalafell stay the same size from 8 years old to 100 years old, and before then they’re about the size of a small hedgehog (baby) to about the size of a kinda small Lala (3-8). A point of annoyance for elezen, who stay the size of a child until they’re 20 or so and then have the worst growing pains in history at a point where complaining about it is less acceptable than getting mad as a kid because your legs hurt. The reason you don’t see very many baby lala is the same reason you don’t see many baby pigeons. You either do and don’t realize it, or they’re VERY SMALL and bundled in blankets or sitting at home and not in the city. A good way to tell if you’re talking to a ten year old or a thirty year old Lala (aside from their intelligence and mannerisms) is by looking at their ears. The tips will darken with age — young lalafell will have light colored ears, sometimes with white fuzz, mature lalafell will have dark ear tips. Good to know for bartenders. 

Baby lalafell also have sharp needle teeth. Much like baby miqo, roe, and au ra. Unlike those three, the sharp teeth go away. They’re helpless pink beans when they’re newborns, they will not hesitate to bite you if you bother them too much. 

#ask #starlit-warren #ffxiv #my art #your early 20s as an elezen are considered. kind of a rebellious snappy period in your life but this is highly influenced by the fact that #you hurt ALL THE TIME and you have to go to work #anywys! I talked about cats for a long time— #miqo also have whiskers but they’re more like. dog whiskers. they don’t do that much and aren’t as sensitive and you can cut them #maybe less important than dog whiskers even #and their ears elongate as they age too; that’s just a thing that happens. they swivel and move much easier as an adult #roegadyn/au ra have needle teeth as kids and then a bunch of sharp teeth as an adult miqo have needle teeth as kids and fangs as adults #lalas have them as babies and grow out of them (like egg teeth; pretty fast) and everyone’s mothers deserve awards for dealing with this #specbio

A wonderful way to commemorate our four-legged friends when they leave us

Pet portraits are a wonderful way to commemorate our four-legged friends when they leave us.

Pet portraits are a wonderful way to commemorate our four-legged friends when they leave us. I have had many pets over the years, some who have been with me for only a short time and others who have been around for years.

I would love to be able to remember each of them with a portrait of them looking their best.

The photographs will remind you of all their good qualities and can also be used in memory boxes or frames around the house as well as being displayed on tabletops or hung on walls in your home.

A popular way to remember your pet is through a photo or painting, which can create a very clear and accurate likeness of your pet.

A popular way to remember your pet is through a photo or painting, which can create a very clear and accurate likeness of your pet.

A pet portrait can be made from a photograph, or from observing the animal directly. It's important to choose the medium you want for your portrait carefully because each will give you different results:

A photo is easy to take, but it may not be possible to capture all of your pet's features clearly in one image (for example, their whiskers).

A painting is more detailed and can show their personality more accurately than a photograph would allow (for example by showing how they react when they're angry).

Pet portrait painters can spend anywhere from 20-40 hours on your painting, depending on the size, or detail level you choose.

The amount of time it takes to paint a pet portrait is dependent on the complexity of the painting. A smaller portrait with few details will take less time than a large, detailed piece with multiple animals in it. A good rule of thumb is to double the number of hours for each additional animal included in your portrait. For example, if you want two dogs painted on canvas and one cat painted on paper (three animals total), you can expect your artist to spend at least 40 hours on this project!

If you are interested in learning more about how our pet portraits are priced or ordering one for yourself, please visit us at https://portrait-my-pet.com or email us at [email protected]

Pet photograph costs range from $50+ for a simple studio shoot, to $250+ for out door shoots that include props.

The cost of pet photographs ranges from $50+ for a simple studio shoot, to $250+ for out door shoots that include props. This is not a bad price considering how much time and effort goes into making sure your pet looks great for their portrait session.

The average cost of professional studio photography is about $50-100. For example, if you are looking at getting the basic 8×10 print with no collar or leash, then it will be closer to the lower end of this range ($50). If instead you want an 11x14 canvas wrap that has your dog wearing his favorite sweater (and maybe even his beloved Frisbee), then it will most likely be closer to the higher end ($100).

Once again, remember that these prices do not include any other services such as travel expenses which can add an additional $10-$25 per hour depending on where you live within the United States.

Pet portrait artists charge by the hours spent on the painting. The cost will also depend on the size of the painting desired.

The cost of pet portraits is typically determined by two factors: the number of hours spent on the painting, and its size. Most portrait artists charge $30-45 per hour of work, though some charge by the square inch or piece. The average cost for a 16 x 20 inch painting is around $600 USD, but prices vary depending on painter style, and what type of painting you choose. Some artists may be able to complete your pet portrait in 10-20 hours; others might take 40+ hours to finish!

An average cost for a 16 x 20 inch (40 x 50 cm) painting is around $600 (around £450).

If someone you know recently got a new pet, consider buying them a gift in the form of their portrait.

Prints and paintings of pets are great gifts for pet owners, friends and family members who have recently lost their pets.

If you have recently lost a pet and would like to memorialize them in some way, then getting a portrait of your pet is an excellent choice for you. Pet portraits are also great gifts for friends and family members who have recently lost their pets as well. Pet portraits aren't just limited to still images either - many artists will also paint works of art using the image of your pet.

Pet portraits are great ways to remember your cherished friend or family member who has passed on. Many people find that they cannot bear to look at pictures of their deceased animal because it hurts too much or they see no point in having them around anymore since they're gone. Getting a painting or print made from those photos helps remove some of these emotions by turning those memories into something beautiful and permanent instead (and something fun if you choose).

A pet portrait is a lovely gift to pay tribute to your pet and remind others of how much they meant to you.

If you want to give a gift to someone who has lost their pet, you can pay for their portrait. It is a wonderful way to honor your pet and remember them.

Another Night hidden within the Stars

(GN)yokai cop x Dastardly Danny

Hey yall! I've had the wonderful opportunity to collab with @greaser-wolf and man has it been a wonderful experience! You are truly a lovely person and thank you again for the drawing!! This was super fun to write, with Danny and how he talks he's a challenge that I loved taking on. Hope you all enjoy!!

This story is gender neutral, but with it being fancy I will be putting tux/dress so then you, the reader, can wear whatever you want on your date with Danny ( also suspenders will be in the tux category and dress suits will still be in dress, hopefully that is okay with everyone because I do want to put detail into your outfit).

⚠️WARNING⚠️: There are cuss words and also mention of sexual content along with yearning and making out!!!

Word Vocabulary:

FC- favorite color

Take a powder- Get lost or lay off

Crumb-A jerk, no fun

Eager Beaver- Someone who excited about something 

Cut a rug- Dance with me

Dead Hopper- A bad dancer

Jive dancer- A talented dancer

You could feel yourself slowly growing impatient as you waited outside of the restaurant, your foot tapping against the concrete with a jittery rhythm. Dastardly Danny was never the late type, he would make the joke of being fashionably late whenever he and the rest of his crew had a runin with trouble, but you knew by now that he would make sure his schedule was clear the days you would meet up. Especially after the time he and his friends literally rode to the place you were meeting up in a snail cop car, a sheepish smile curling against his mouth. 

You remember the awful paperwork for that one.

The night of the Hidden City glistened around you as you leaned against the building, your hands rubbing up against your arms to create some friction of warmth. Even with the outfit you had on, the nights were slowly getting chilly due to the change of seasons above. 

The bag you held against your side started to vibrate and for a second you thought it was going to be that purple wearing rat, telling you that something had happened or that he was going to be fashionably late, but it was actually your boss from the police station. You cleared your throat before you clicked on the answer button.

“Yes, chief?”

“Hello Y/N, I was seeing if you would be free tonight to work an extra shift?”

You balled your empty hand into a fist as you jumped from your spot against the building, your eyes glaring to the side as if you could see your boss there, looming over you with a smile that practically said: “ If you don’t say yes to this then I will give you paperwork that is stacked so high that the humans above can see it.”

You let out a breathy sigh as you explained, “I’m sorry, chief, but I have plans tonight and I really cannot cancel them.” You turned on your heel so that your shoulder was leaning against the wall instead of your back.

You could hear the anger and frustration behind his voice, “Are you sure that whatever is so important cannot be rescheduled?”

“No, it cannot.”

You almost jumped right out of your body as a voice behind you answered for you. Your face started to blush against the amber lights of the restaurant as Danny was now leaning his head against your shoulder, a wicked grin on his face as he continued to talk.

“Sorry there, chief, but being a cop can be a real pain in the neck, so take a powder and let me and the dame have our night, alright?”

You opened your mouth to apologize to your boss, to say that your boyfriend had just had a little too much to drink and was now saying whatever came to mind, but the tall rat’s hot breath against your neck made you stiff as a board. You swallowed and suddenly you felt parched as Danny took the phone from your hand and hung up on the chief of police and placed the phone back into your bag. 

“Ya know you can get lockjaw if ya keep that mouth open for too long,” he chirped as he took your hand into his. 

“You’re….You’re late,” you stammered out, your mind foggy with the possible fear of losing your job and also how Danny’s suit was cleaner and seemed to cling to his body tighter than before. 

He bent himself over and kissed your hand as he looked up at you with hooded eyes.

“Actually, love, I still have about two minutes. Would ya like me to walk away and come back and get ya flustered all over again?” 

“Oh hush up, you could’ve gotten me fired and he could've figured out your voice,” you commented, your heart almost futtering out of your chest as his lips met your hand. Always so formal, strange how a gentleman could also be a thief. 

Danny rolled his eyes and let out a ‘tch’ sound as he took in the sight of you. Your outfit was glistening against the fallen lights of the town, the color bringing out the color in your eyes. Danny was surprised that he still had his balance as he took a step back. No matter how many times he lays his eyes on you, you can always somehow leave him breathless.

He intertwined his arm with yours as he chuckled out, “Yer boss is a bloody crumb, darling, and if he could recognize my’ voice, toots, then there would be more criminals in yer holding cells.”

“You know I can just turn you three in and get that raise, right?” 

“Ah but you would never do that to us, especially me, sweetheart,” he purred as took your chin gently into his hand and kissed you. All the stress that had built up within your body for the past few days melted away as he pulled you in closer to the kiss, your knees almost going weak as you felt him smile against your lips. His hand was careful against your cheek, as if his destructive and dangerous life would break you, even with you being a cop. His whiskers tickled your face and you couldn’t help but giggle into the kiss, causing Danny to bring you closer to him at the sound of your happiness. 

After the kiss, he planted one against your cheek and tucked a strand of hair behind your ear. 

“You look ravishing tonight, ” He purred as he led you over to the door, his arm already extending it to open it for you.

You let out a sigh as you pushed the fabric you were wearing down to wash out the wrinkles.

“You don’t think it’s too much?” You asked as Danny told the hostess the fake name he placed for the dinner reservation. As the hostess turned around to grab a few menus, Danny let go of your arm and ever so slowly danced his hand from the nap of your neck, down your spine until it planted itself onto your tailbone as he whispered into your ear, “Oh sweetheart, if we weren’t in this restaurant, I know exactly what I would be having for dinner instead.”

He smirked as a pretty shade of red crossed your face and even tinted the edge of your ears as the hostess turned back around and told you both to follow her. Danny had to practically drag you since your mind was nothing but a haze of embarrassment and desire. 

The tall rat yokai pulled your chair for you and you thanked him as he pushed you closer to the table and took a seat himself.

You took in the sight of the restaurant with a look of awe. The eating house was colored with wine and gold and the building was buzzing with life of friends and family and lovers just like you and him. You both had made sure, with the help of a worker there, that no cop or detective had placed a reservation at the restaurant, so no more looking over your shoulder or horror stabbing you in the gut when you watched yokais whisper and look over at you. 

Danny watched as you took it all in, an almost lovesick expression crossing his face. Everytime you both went out he would remember the first time you both met, with your pistol shoved into his face. Dating a cop was something that never crossed his mind, he always thought he would date a thief such as himself or maybe a regular citizen of the Hidden City. But, when you first chased him, screaming his name at the top of lungs, he knew it was love at first sight. 

He did hate the secrecy though, even with the thrill of getting caught was something he got high off of, he did want to show you off to the world, he wanted to take you out everywhere without any of your coworkers finding you. At least you both got to do this, and he knew how to mark you as his. 

The option of you quitting your job raged inside his head, the sheer thought of it made him mad. He would never let you give up your passion, how hard you’ve worked for your position at work, even though you said you would be fine with it, he wouldn’t be, and knew that you secretly wouldn’t be either.  

“So, I heard about that heist you did a few days ago, how did it go?” You questioned as you laid your head in your hands, your elbows supporting your weight. Danny let out a gust of air as he also leaned in, taking in the breathtaking sight that was you. 

“Don’t even get me started, sweetheart. Leonard is doing the chores for the rest of da month for the stunt he pulled during it,” the rat groaned and soon a waitress came up and Danny ordered one of their expensive wines, once she walked away, you raised an eyebrow at him. 

“Wine, huh? That heist money really working itself off, isn’t it?” You played at him and he let out a low gruff as he smirked at you. 

“Only using the money for good, right?”

“Oh and I’m considered good?”

Danny gave you a hungry look and for a moment you thought he was going to get out of the chair and eat you up in one bite, but all he did was bring his hands together  on the table as he leisurely spoke. 

“Of course.”

Oh titans above how was I so lucky to land him.

You both ordered your meals and continued to have small talk. One thing you both decided to agree on was that Danny would talk about opposing gangs that were doing heists and robberies and then would tell you about them the next stop they were going to, with this you were given praise and extra cash at work and giving The Mud Dogs less competition in the playing field. It made Danny warm inside to see you have an interest in his job and it made you bashful when he would compliment you on your job.

In the background of your conversation was the beauty of musicians playing their hearts out for those who were out on the dancefloor, the restaurant was flooded with intoxicated laughter and the tapping of shoes against the wooden floor. The wine was slowly getting to you after the third glass and you couldn’t help but to start giggling after every word you said. 

After the waitress took your plates and left the check, you and Danny had to fight over who would pay. 

“You paid last time, I'll pay it,” you ordered as your fingers tried to swipe it from his hands, but he was a lot quicker than you and he let the bill twirl in between his fingers as he stared at you. 

“Not a chance, eager beaver, the deal is that you bring your decked out self and I get to gawk at ya until I need to pay the bill,” he insisted and was about to pull out his credit card before he felt your fingers touch his and soon the bill was gone from his hands and all he could do was glare lovingly at you as you giggled in your seat, the piece of paper shoved under your hands. 

“Yer not gonna give up, are ya?”

“Isn’t that what you like about me?”

His eyes traveled over your body slowly, hardly an ounce of urgency in them as he took in every inch of you. The curve of your waist, the way your outfit was flushed against your body like water to paper, how there were still love marks on your chest and barely above your neck from your last visit with each other. Desire was blazing through his eyes as they finally met yours. 

“Oh sugar pop, there is a whole list of things I like about you,” he growled and he took pride in the way you squirmed in your seat.

He eyed the dancefloor and then back at you and gradually got himself out of his chair until he was next to you, his hand extended out. 

“How about this: You cut a rug with me and you get to pay, deal?” He asked. You looked down at his extended hand and then back at his smug look, wondering if the wine had somehow gotten more to him then you. 

“Oh please, you know I have two left feet. If we danced your feet would be sore for weeks from me stepping on them,” you joked out, but he didn't move. 

“If ya were a dead hopper, I wouldn’t be askin. That or else I get to pay the bill,” he challenged. You didn’t know if it was the pride you held or from the extra glass of wine you swigged down, but you took his hand and let him lead you to the dancefloor. 

The music buzzed through your ears as you held tighter to his hand. You had fought bad guys, you had been in blazing shootouts, you’ve seen life be taken away right in front of your eyes. But dancing seemed to be the hardest challenge to muster up courage to master. Danny gave your hand a reassuring squeeze as he took you both to the middle of the dancefloor. 

He took the hand he was holding and extended your arm with his, while his other arm went around your waist, bringing you almost dangerously close. You could smell the alcohol on his breath and his cologne drained through your nose. 

“Danny, what if we get caught? Everyone can see us,” you whispered. Many eyes were peering at you two, some just being distracted by the new movement you both caused and others eyeing the rat as if they recognized him. Fear started to snake itself around your body, almost trapping you once again in that constant fear of being discovered. 

But, the love of your life gently tapped his nose against yours as he shushed you so quietly that you could barely hear it. His calming scent and even breaths washed over you and you felt yourself relax. No one has ever made you feel like this, no past lover, no family or friend, Danny wasn’t just a breath of fresh air to you, he was a whole new world to you. 

“Hey, just let me show you off for just a few minutes, just this once, doll. Then we can go back to being Romeo and Juilet, I promise,” he purred and you silently nodded as he swept you off your feet. It almost seemed that the musicians took notice in the new lovebirds and the music picked up to match the tense and eager atmosphere, even the yokais around you took hints and their own moves started to change. 

Both of your dance moves were slow at first, the rat yokai letting you get used to him taking the lead, with his quick feet and swirls and twirls, you were a little shocked at how well he was. He held onto you though, taking in your cautious swings and how your eyes were on your feet instead of up. Danny knew he was selfish for asking this out of you, he knew that you didn’t want to embarrass yourself in front of him. But the way you looked on the dancefloor was almost bewitching. Your tux/dress flew silently around you, the tone of your (FC) shined against the spotlight that twirled overhead, and your eyes almost seemed to glow in the scarlet and golden room, outshining and blinding anyone else around him.

He knew then he was deeply and terribly in love with you.

“My eyes are up here, toots.”

“So is that sarcastic mouth of yours.”

“You really do crack me up, dollface.”

He then let go of your waist and swept you away from him, the only thing connecting you two was the interlocking of your hands. Starlight seemed to bounce off you because he quickly brought you back to him, a little noise escaping your mouth as it felt as if you were dancing on air for how light he made you feel. He was behind you now, his mouth dangerous close to where your neck connected with your shoulder. His breath created goosebumps across your body as a feather kiss was placed against an old love mark he had given you days ago. Your heart seemed to go crazy within your ribcage as he twisted you around, your chests once again flushed against each other’s. Danny took several steps to your side and you quickly joined him, the wine and your wit gradually giving you confidence and soon you both were laughing, as if there was no one else in the restaurant, in the city, in the world. 

He took notice in your new found bravely and he swiped his arm under your rump and lifted you up, his smile growing wider as a flood of giggles escaped your mouth as you looked down at him. 

“Hey look! I’m finally taller than you!”

“Aye, don’t get used to it!”

He brought you back down and in one swope he dipped you, his strong hands holding you firmly as your back bent against him. It almost felt like a dream, a wondrous and unbelievable dream that you thought if you made one wrong move, you would fall out of bed and this would no longer be real. But the way he effortlessly pulled you back up and looked into your eyes with a lopsided grin, you knew that this wasn’t just a dream, it was a dream come true. 

The song smoothly started to transition over to a much more tamed and kinder music that had everyone’s swaying hips go slower and closer. You were still giggling as Danny brought you against him and suddenly it was very cozy between you two. 

You let the melody consume you as Danny lightly drifted you throughout the dancefloor, his face ever so slowly getting closer to yours. His hands were roaming your back as he brought you ever so closer to him to the point you both were barely missing each other’s toes. Suddenly it seemed like you both were spinning around each other until his lips barely slipped over yours. 

“Look who’s become a jive dancer,” he said silently against your lips and a little groan escaped your lips at just hearing him talk to you like that, every word he ever whispered to you in private with no wondering eyes would burn you to your core. 

“I had a good teacher,” you joked back as your hands wrapped around his neck, your nails every so slightly digging into his fur. You felt him lose his breath against your face and his own fingers dug into your lower back and suddenly it felt as if you both weren’t close enough. You both were never close enough. 

“Have I mentioned how ravishing you look tonight?” He asked as he leisurely twirled you and brought you back to him. 

“Maybe. But it's nice to hear it from such a dreamboat like you,” you said against his lips and he dipped you once again, but you barely made it pass his shoulder as he pushed his mouth against yours. A whirlwind of emotions surfaced throughout your body as your hand came up and caressed his face, your stomach dropping to the floor and your heart traveling up your throat. 

He separated himself from you for just a second to bring you back up on your feet before attacking your lips again, one of his hands on the nap of your neck to tilt your head more up. 

You were aware of the suspicious and judging eyes that fell upon you both, but for the first time, you didn’t care. He made you worry less, he gave you such an intoxication that not a single bottle of alcohol could ever get you as drunk as he did. The aftertaste of wine drifted onto your lips and you moaned into his mouth, grinning evilly as he shifted in his spot. His tail soon curled around your waist so that his other hand could go to the side of your face. 

He detached himself from you for just a second to say, “ Ya better pay that bill before the only thing yer wearing is that smile.”

The world seemed to freeze before you as your hands slipped off of him and walked him over back to the table, the bill trembling in your hands as you paid for it, all while feeling Danny’s hand place itself lower than your back. You can feel sweat slowly start to build over your body as he opened the door for you and followed you out the door. 

And before you knew it, you were back at your place, and once Danny closed the door behind you, he pounced, as if he wasn’t the rat, but the cat. His hands traveled over your outfit as if it burned his hands and couldn’t keep them in one spot and his kisses were slow and teasing, causing you to squirm under his touch. You couldn’t breath, you couldn’t hear anything, all you felt was the buzzing against your fingertips as they dug into his chest, your hands had already done the work to undo his tie and his undershirt. 

The door met your back and Danny was panting against your lips, his mind had gone completely blank except for you, he only thought about you and this moment, how it might be days until he saw you again. The thought of not seeing you stabbed him in the gut, and he’s known that feeling before, and it’s not a good feeling. He missed hearing your laughter, he desired to see your glistening eyes look at him, he wanted to be with you. It drove him nuts, no, it drove him insane at the thought of it. That once he woke up from your bed, he would have to sneak out early so that no one would see him leave your home and would have to race back to his apartment instead of laying with you and getting to wake up with you in the morning. He’s never been here when you woke up, he’s never been able to see your eyes flutter open and for the first thing for you to see in the morning was him, he’s never been able to see the morning light shine against your features as if the sun was trying to capture your face. He’s never been able to share the first cup of coffee with you, to see his pjs shirt draped over you like a blanket as you watch the morning go by, as he would watch you with loving eyes. And that’s what drove him to kiss you harder, that’s what pushed him to pull your head back and for him to replace your old love marks with new ones, it’s what forced him to savor every second of this, to cherish what you give him tonight, he would cherish every damn second you gave to him in secret.

My Lucky Day

For @pillarspromptsweekly fill 97. My Roll for It elements: Edér, modern AU, and meet-cute bc I wouldn’t be me if I passed up the chance to write an Ederity meet-cute. :D

--

Normally the two o’clock hour was the most boring part of Charity’s shift. Most people were either still at work or just starting to commute home, Not many chose that time slot to pursue pet adoption(or even just looking). Normally at this point she’d be folding scrap paper footballs and seeing how far she could flick them down the counter, or finding an excuse to play with or love on one of the animals the shelter housed.

But not today. Today someone hadn’t properly latched one of the kennels and a certain hyperactive yellow lab had gleefully seized the opportunity to escape. Thus, Charity’s two o’clock hour so far had been spent chasing down chaos incarnate, trying to minimize the mess he made and not having much luck. Of course he fishtailed around a corner, his tail wagging so ferociously it knocked supplies off the shelf. Of course Xoti had forgotten to lock the dog door(again), and he bolted into the yard--straight for the mud puddle in the back corner. Of course she missed trying to grab him on the way back in and wound up chasing a trail of mud all through the shelter. (Thank Eothas the door between the shelter and clinic was too heavy for a year old lab to push open on his own.) She finally cornered the dog in a dead end hallway and bribed him with treats until he was close enough to collar.

“Bad dog,” she scolded, heart not fully in it despite the work ahead of her cleaning up. “You made quite the mess.”

He looked up at her, gave a whining bark, and planted muddy paws against her thigh to put him in better range for head pets.

“Sunny, down,” Charity said, gentle but firm. That was something they were trying to train out of him before he was adopted. “C’mon, you need a bath now.”

She’d swear Sunny’s ears pricked up at the word bath. This dog loved water beyond even his breed’s usual affinity for it. She could almost believe he’d gotten muddy for the express purpose of getting a bath. Charity was less thrilled at how soaked she was about to wind up, but as the one who caught the dog(and the one with no plans after work, which meant it was okay if she went home smelling like wet fur), the duty would fall to her anyway. She might as well get it over with.

It proved every bit the ordeal she was anticipating, but she did get Sunny clean. Still very much the curious puppy--even though they’d walked this hallway a dozen times and she was pretty sure there were no new smells--he pulled every which way as they walked back toward the kennels.

“We really gotta train you, or you’re gonna scare people off,” Chariy muttered, letting go of the leash with one hand to brush damp straggles of hair back toward the sad remains of her ponytail.

Of course Sunny picked that moment to hear something ‘interesting’ and veer sharply toward the door between shelter and clinic. Sharply enough to yank the leash out of her hand.

Not again! she groused to herself as she lunged after him. “Sunny! Sunny, sit!”

Sunny did not sit. Because the door opened from the clinic side and a new person walked in, and what friendly, energetic dog worth his whiskers could resist saying hello to a new friend?

And so roughly fifty pounds of still-damp yellow lab pushed off the floor and slammed into their visitor in the same moment Charity skidded to a mortified halt. Even if he looked well-built enough to take it, this was so not the impression they wanted to give people.

-o-

Edér would have been lying if he said he expected his day to include being tackled by a friendly dog. He’d also be lying to say he minded, though it did catch him off-guard.

“I’m so sorry!” a voice gasped from above and to his right--probably the woman he’d briefly glimpsed before being tackled. 

“S’alright,” Edér managed around the enthusiastic tongue bath he was receiving. He brought one hand up to scratch the side of the dog’s face, which earned him a reprieve as the lab leaned into the attention with a pleased groan. “Always nice to make a new friend.”

He looked up just in time to catch her relieved smile. “Must be my lucky day.” Her ears went redder than her hair. “’Cause you’re clearly an animal lover, I mean, not for any other...” She cleared her throat, one hand tugging the end of her frazzled ponytail. “I’m gonna stop talkin’ now.”

“Actually, if you work here, I was lookin’ for some help,” Edér said, starting the reluctant process of scooting out from under the dog.

“Oh, sure,” the redhead nodded as she bent to grab the free end of the leash and started tugging the dog off him. “I’m Charity, by the way. And this fella’s Sunny, both in name and nature.”

“Fittin’,” he chuckled as he got to his feet. He held out his hand to shake. “Edér.”

Charity shook his hand, grip firmer than he expected. “And what can I help you with, Edér?”

“Pickin’ somethin’ up for a friend; antibiotics for her liz- uh, bearded dragon.” He rolled his eyes sheepishly. “She don’t like it when I call ‘im a lizard.”

Charity laughed. “Lotta people with beardies feel that way.” Her brow furrowed.  “Wasn’t there someone at the clinic desk?”

Edér shook his head. “Naw. There s’pposed t’ be?”

“Yeah,” she said with a sigh. “Same person who was s’pposed to lock all the kennels and the dog door out to the yard. I’m tryin’ to give her some time, ‘cause she’s new, but if she doesn’t get a lot less flighty real quick...” She shook her head and tugged the leash. “That’s not important, though. Let’s get you taken care of, then I’ll get Sunny squared away.”

“I can wait if you wanna do that first,” he offered, slipping his hands in his pockets. He wasn’t in any particular hurry.

“No, it’s okay,” Charity said quickly. “If you’re just pickin’ something up it shouldn’t take long.” Both of them looked down as Sunny bumped his nose against Edér’s knee. “‘Sides, he likes you, if I take him away now, he’ll pout the rest of the day an’ that’s no fun.”

“Alright, then, if you don’t mind...” Edér shrugged, which made her smile. It was a good smile. He pushed open the swinging door back to the clinic. “After you.”

-o-

Charity bit back the temptation to make some corny comment about him being a gentleman and simply nodded her thanks as she headed through the doorway. She could feel a fresh wave of blush rising to color her ears--and probably the back of her neck--even so. Maybe he wouldn’t notice. Maybe if he did she could pass off her embarrassment as due to Sunny’s behavior, not the number of times she’d successfully stuck her foot in her mouth in front of one of the more attractive men she’d met in her life. If the ‘lucky day’ comment wasn’t bad enough, the speed with which she’d insisted on helping Edér before she re-kenneled Sunny had done no favors. 

Just as he’d said, there was no sign of Xoti behind the clinic counter, even though her shift went til four. She hadn’t even left a note this time.

Charity pushed aside the embarrassment--and grumbling thoughts toward her coworker--and flashed Edér another smile as she stepped around the counter.  “So, what’re you pickin’ up?” She closed the waist-high door and slipped the leash around the handle so she had both hands free and Sunny was still semi-corralled.

“Antibiotics,” he reminded her, leaning against the counter with a crooked smile of his own.

She wanted to smack herself; he’d already told her that. “Right, right. Name?”

He cocked his head. “Would it be under the pet or the owner?”

“Owner.”

“That does make sense. Illani. Tavi Illani.”

The name rang a bell. “Oh, yeah. Dragon’s Quaro, right?” Charity asked as she started thumbing through the filled prescriptions. “She had him in a couple days ago and Doc Drake had to back order the meds.” Illani, there you are. She tugged out the small, crinkly bag and set it on the counter. “Here we go. And Dr. Drake is sorry for the delay and hopes Quaro feels better soon.” 

Edér raised an eyebrow. “Really?”

“Technically she didn’t tell me that, but” --Charity shrugged-- “ain’t hard math to figure out she would.” She played with the patient information tag stapled to the prescription to give her hands something to do. Which worked for all of five seconds before she happened to read the address. “Wait, wait, wait. Tavi lives in Yenwood?! Don’t they have any vets down there?”

Edér laughed. “None who--to quote her--’know a solitary fuckin’ thing’ about bearded dragons.” He leaned closer and whispered almost conspiratorially “I think she’s just tryin’ to justify drivin’ an hour each way to bring him to the same vet she’s used since he was this big.” He held up his thumb and index finger three or four inches apart. 

Charity giggled. “No shame in that; lotsa people try to stick with the same vet, for the sense of familiarity. ‘Specially if their pet likes that vet.” She braced her elbow against the counter and rested her chin in her hand. “”What about you? Assumin’ you also live in Yenwood, this is some favor. You two must be real good friends.”

Subtle, Char, a little voice in her head said dryly. Just ask the man if he’s single and get it over with.

“She’s one of my best,” he confirmed with another crooked smile. Sweet Eothas, it wasn’t fair. “But I was comin’ this way for work, so it ain’t that much much of an inconvenience. Speakin’ of...” He glanced at the wall clock. “I need to get goin’. Ain’t in a rush, exactly, but probably shouldn’t dawdle.”

She grinned. “Or the boss man’ll chew ya out?” 

“Nah, that ain’t a risk,” Edér shook his head, still smiling. “‘Cause you’re lookin’ at him. Still wanna make a good impression an’ keep customers happy, so...” He picked up the prescription and tapped the bag against the counter. “You need anything from me?”

Your phone number. Charity just barely swallowed the wards before they tumbled out her mouth. “Uh, no, it looks like, um, Tavi prepaid for it when she had Quaro in. So we’re good.”

Sunny pawed her leg and whined.

Charity patted the dog’s head to settle him. “And let me apologize again for this goober. He’s just over-eager to meet new people.”

Edér leaned across the counter to scratch Sunny’s ears. “No harm done. Like I said, always nice to make a new friend.” He met her gaze and winked. “Or two.”

Was she blushing? She had to be blushing. “Always happy to meet a fellow animal lover.”

He laughed. “Thanks for the help, Charity.”

“You are very welcome, Edér,” she laughed back. “Have a good day.”

He nodded as he straightened. “You, too.”

Charity watched him go, tried to read the writing on the door of his truck(purely general curiosity, definitely not looking for a phone number), but he’d parked too far away. She looked down at Sunny, who met her gaze and panted happily.  “Alright, your turn. Let’s get you back where you belong.”

Xoti picked that moment to get back from... wherever she’d been. At least she had the decency to wince when she saw Charity doing her job. “Sorry, Char.”

“What was it this time?” Charity asked, fixing her ponytail before she wrapped the leash around her hand to keep Sunny close.

“Door on the Ladies got stuck again,” Xoti said, rubbing the back of her neck sheepishly. “Doc really needs t’ fix that.”

“Leave a note on her desk, I’m sure she’ll bump it up the list,” Charity said. She tugged Sunny’s leash as she swung open the half-door to head back toward the shelter side. “Hell, if it’s real bad, maybe she’ll call someone soon as she gets back.”

“Kay.” Xoti hesitated, bit her lip. “There weren’t any trouble, was there? ‘Cause I really didn’t expect that to take more’n a minute or I’da let you know.”

Charity smiled to herself as she glanced toward the paring lot--empty now, of course. “Nope. No trouble at all.”

The clock read 3:05 as she led Sunny back to his kennel. She tried to convince herself the smile she wasn’t trying all that hard to fight was relief for the non-boring two o’clock hour for once. Given that she couldn’t stop picturing blond hair and blue eyes that crinkled at the corners when he smiled, it didn’t really work.

Her lucky day, indeed.

CHAPTER 7A. Previous Installment found here. Approx 1800 words. As always, feel free to send Asks or Messages about what’s written or anything you’re curious about.

Jasper wouldn’t stop grinning. He walked besides the little wooden cart, humming a travelling song and constantly looking up at Coriander with a beaming smile. She wasn’t sure if it was a good thing, nor could she quite bring herself to return the gesture herself. Bestina might have agreed that it was ultimately a good idea to see the physician, but it was clear she wasn’t happy about the means. Coriander had never left town before, and an uneasiness weighed her stomach down, even as she looked out as the farmland and flower fields passing by. Waites sat at the front of the cart quietly, humming occasionally when Jasper reached a part he remembered, but ultimately kept his eyes on the road as he drove.

His cart was an old thing, rickety and wobbling on its wheels, but it hadn’t needed a proper repair in almost five years now. His nag pulled it along at an easy pace, stopping all too often to sniff and snack on bits of grass. Mum was an old thing who’d carried the name Chrysanthemum once upon a time, but years of affectionate nicknames and baby-talk had shortened it years ago. She was deaf in one ear, just like Waites himself, but didn’t spook easily, unlike Coriander, who seemed to jump at every bump or rattle in the road.

She’d been no less nervous just an hour before. Her hands had been shaking as she went inside to pack for the short trip, Bestina at her heels critiquing every move she made. Not that dress, not those shoes, do you want to embarrass yourself the first time you ever leave town? How was she supposed to know what to pack? Well -- perhaps she should have. Fate knew she read enough stories about grand adventures anyway. They had never gone into detail about what these heroes and travellers had brought, but perhaps she ought to have intuited it anyway.

Their good-bye had been long and tearful, though Bestina didn’t hesitate to let everyone know what an inconvenience this was, leaving her alone in her house with no-one to care for her for three entire days. It wasn’t fair. Wasn’t right. Was downright cruel. More than once, Coriander had started to say that maybe she ought to just stay behind, but never quite found her voice in time before something else came up and had to be commented on.

So she hugged her mother tightly, hung a bell up in the doorway for good luck, and held back her tears and hid any hint of excitement at the idea of leaving. It was much easier to be anxious, to be fearful of the world outside her front door, and avoid any scrutiny instead.

It wasn’t hard, after all, to be afraid. Coriander had never gone to the edge of the flower fields. It wasn’t terribly noteworthy and far from dangerous, but it was outside of everything she’d ever known. It was the very beginning of the world beyond her small life, everything she’d read about and nothing she dared to dream of seeing. Green moorland rolled all the way to the horizon, with a few copses of trees, and across a small offshoot of the Rhoeing River running by the road that would eventually join the main branch of the river up by Mowry, just barely too far away to see.

Coriander felt ill. Probably looked it, too. She fiddled with the strings of her pack, small and plain, with just a little box of tea leaves and spices as a gift for the physician, and an extra shift and pair of stockings for herself.

“Mint?” Jasper asked. The scent of it filled her nose and tore her attention away from the road just enough to see him holding a few leaves out to her.

“Oh -- n-no, thank you.”

“Are you sure?”

She was absolutely unsure. Inexperienced and anxious, her stomach in knots and her heart in her throat. “I-I’m all right.” She was not.

Jasper’s grin fell for a moment, and he moved in closer to the cart to cast a furtive glance towards Waites before whispering, “Do you think you could pretend for me? You see, I always feel a little green when I first set off anywhere, and I don’t want our helpful guide thinking I’m a bad traveller.”

He was lying. He was singing and laughing no less than he always was. She looked to Waites as well, who seemed determined to look like he wasn’t paying attention, but Coriander relented and took a few leaves to chew on. Jasper thanked her, popped a leaf into his mouth as well, and began his song again.

An old oak tree stood guard at the edge of the fields, looking over the moorland beyond. Three young adults sat in the tree, pulling acorns, from the branches and throwing them at the two on the ground, who dodged them with shrieks of laughter as the oldest among them, stronger built and surlier, looked over a small flock of sheep -- a burgeoning shepherd practising their trade among friends. Mum plodded on, oblivious to everything but the grass in her mouth, but even Jasper seemed to fall quiet as the oak tree drew near.

The youths waved as they passed. Jasper waved back.

Coriander held her breath.

The cart rolled on.

She looked back as they went, watching the oak and the village beyond slowly begin to slip away.

She had left her home.

“It’s a strange sight, isn’t it?”

“I’m sorry?” Coriander turned to face the front of the cart again.

Waites smiled back at her, easy and comforting. “Knittelnau. You never really realize just how small it is until you’re outside of it.” She turned her head -- and stopped, as Waites spoke again: “I find it’s easier not to look.”

He admired the view for a bit anyway, glancing back to the road but trusting Mum to walk in a straight line. Jasper turned around entirely to walk backwards. She couldn’t resist the urge to turn herself -- but the sight still made her nervous.

“How old were you when you first left?”

“Oh, not much older than ten, I think. My father didn’t like to sit still for long.” Waites told the story as they went on, Jasper asking questions, but Coriander only half listened as she saw the town recede from view. It was slow going, would take nearly an hour until the last buildings moved beyond view.

Jasper broke into a fantastical tale of his own, gesticulating wildly as he went on about sea-faring vessels, three-masted ships with sails so large and white they looked like clouds. He talked about sirens and dangerous things that lurked under blue waters, one he’d managed to harpoon and pull up himself.

The conversation continued on without her. It always did. She wanted to see the hill she’d grown up on as long as she could. The house her father had built as a young man, not much older then than Coriander was now. She wanted to see her home, and she wanted to see it until it was just a speck on the horizon, and gone.

When she finally turned around to face the road again, Coriander gasped.

It was still tiny, barely visible from where they were, but the Rhoeing River that had always lived on the horizon, a distant idea of moving water, had become a clear and blue ribbon, shimmering in the midmorning sun. She could just barely make out a bride running over it, low and grey. Stone, most likely. She’d never seen a stone bridge before. Little wooden ones maybe, crossing creeks or dips in the road, but not stone, not over a river with a name. Something in her was desperate to walk on it.

“And the catch I’d reeled in -- with help of course.” Jasper held up an arm, flexing underneath his shirt in a most unimpressive way. “Do these look like the arms of a strong man to you?” He shook his head and laughed, not waiting for an answer. “I reeled it in and -- would you believe it? A baby water drake had gotten caught in our nets. He was slimy, with stubby little whiskers, and just enough teeth to do this to me.” Jasper turned his arm over, exposing a bite mark that looked like it might have come from a dog as much as it might have come from a water drake.

“Um--” she tried. All eyes were on her instantly, save for Mum, who didn’t care much for anyone unless they were waving a carrot or salt lick in front of her nose. She swallowed, shrank into herself for a moment. Why had she said anything? Stopping would do nothing but cause trouble, and hadn’t she promised to be good a thousand times over?

“Yes?” Waites prompted, almost overly benign in a way that somehow just made her feel worse for speaking up at all.

She mumbled, spoke too quietly, eyes on her hands. “I-I’d like, to, um…” She cleared her throat. “I’d like to walk. If that’s all right.”

It took a bit of negotiating to convince Mum to stop. Jasper had to run to the side of the road and pick some roadweed to wave under her nose. Slowly, she came to a stop and chewed thoughtfully while Waites helped her out of the cart. She stumbled, but righted herself quickly. And suddenly, she was a little larger. A little more important. Or perhaps just a little more foolish. A silly, hopeless girl thinking she was some sort of an adventurer just because she was walking the easy road to the next settlement over for the first time.

She stayed close to the cart, careful to stay on Waites’ right side so he could hear her when she talked, and glanced up every now and then for reassurance.

Jasper stood on her other side, a sort of buffer between her and the moorland beyond. “It seems the princess has come down from her carriage,” he said with a grin. “I tell you, the world is much better seen on foot. You can feel the ground beneath you, and it feels just that much more interesting. Even when you step on a pebble and feel it through your shoe.”

Didn’t that mean he needed new shoes? Coriander glanced down, wondered if he ought to have spoken to Olive before they left. But it was probably too late for that now, and he could meet with someone else in any number of the cities he was going to visit.

Another round of traveling songs picked up. Waites joined in now and then while Jasper led, glancing over to Coriander every now and then. She avoided looking back, but every now and then, she managed to squeak out a few lyrics alongside him, and Jasper’s grin only grew wider when she did.

18. Man’s Best Friend

read the scarecrow and the bell on ao3

index | from the beginning | < previous | next >

               “Kakashi? I’d like to have a talk with you” Sakumo called from the doorway. Kakashi turned to look upon his father, laying in the grass beside his giggling next door neighbor.

               “Aw, ‘Kashi, do you really have to go so soon? It feels like we only just started!” Rei complained. Kakashi sat up and patted her gently on the head.

               “I’ll try to come back later. This sounds important” he replied, then stood and ran off toward his father. The young girl watched him depart longingly, rolling onto her stomach and resting her chin in her hands. She hoped he’d keep his word.

               Sakumo guided his son inside and closed the door slowly, inviting Kakashi to side across from him. This all seemed so formal, and for a moment Kakashi feared he was in trouble. The White Fang could sense his son’s apprehension, however, and bid him a kind, reassuring smile. “I’d like to talk to you about something, Kakashi. If that’s alright.”

               “What is all of this about?” he asked his father.

               “You’ve been progressing spendidly, and I’m very proud. You’ll be a fine shinobi in no time. I’m going on a very important mission in a week, and I’ve been thinking a lot about how you’ll be on your own the whole time” Sakumo explained.

               “I won’t be on my own. I have Rei and Mr. and Mrs. Natsuki” Kakashi explained. So far, whenever Sakumo had gone on missions, he often entrusted Kakashi to the neighbors. Yuruganai Natuski was an old friend from all the way back in the academy and although he had given up becoming a shinobi long ago, they still remained close.

               Sakumo nodded slowly, then sighed. “I know, but I want to make sure you can take care of yourself, as well. Mr. and Mrs. Natsuki will not always be there for you.” The thought of something happening to them made Kakashi uneasy. They had always been there, he didn’t know life without them right next door. And then there was Rei…

               “So what does that mean?” Kakashi asked.

               “It means I think it’s time I entrusted you with something very important” Sakumo explained. He then stood, bit the tip of his thumb, and in a puff of smoke summoned a large white wolf dog. “This is Tsuyoi, my ninken. She has been my summon since I was a young boy. Tsuyoi is the chief of a clan of ninja hounds who recently took in a group of orphaned puppies. I would like you to make a contract with them and train them as your summons.”

               Kakashi blinked a few times, trying to comprehend everything that his father had just told him. He had never seen his father in battle, and therefore had never met Tsuyoi before but he could tell she was strong and powerful and capable. He imagined a litter of puppies just like her that would someday grow into beautiful white hounds with sharp teeth and rough barks. His own ninken.

               He approached Tsuyoi carefully, extending a hand for her to sniff. She did so gladly, then nuzzled the young boy’s cheek to show she approved of him. “I expected nothing less from Sakumo’s son” a woman’s voice then spoke. Kakashi recoiled and blinked.

               “Did that dog just talk?” he asked. Sakumo chuckled and nodded.

               “Yes, she did. All of the ninken in Tsuyoi’s clan can speak” Sakumo replied. “Of course, much like human babies, I don’t expect the puppies to know how to speak yet but that’s just something you’ll have to teach them, as well.”

               Kakashi’s head was reeling. This was unbelievable. He excitedly asked how to start the contract process and where the puppies were, he was so desperate to meet them. Sakumo pressed his palm to the floor yet and again and immediately they appeared in another cloud of smoke. However, the novelty suddenly vanished when Kakashi laid eyes on them. “These are the dogs?” he asked. “I thought they were going to be white wolf dogs like Tsuyoi?”

               “You don’t want them now?” Sakumo asked. Kakashi knelt down to inspect the pups, mismatched and squirmy and small. The tiniest, a wrinkly little pug, squirmed between the others whimpering and yawning. Then, rolling over onto his back with his tongue lopping out of the side of his mouth, he blinked and looked up at Kakashi with his big, brown eyes. In that moment, something in the young boy shifted. He reached down and scratched behind the dog’s ear with his index finger, and the dog began cycling his little back leg in glee.

               Kakashi laughed softly at the pup, murmuring “You’re such a little Pakkun.”

               “Hmm? What was that?” Sakumo asked.

               “It sounds like he’s already thought of a name” Tsuyoi replied.

               “What? No…I was just…well, maybe…” Kakashi stammered. These dogs had enchanted him quicker than he expected them to. They all began waking up from their sleepy states, sniffing and licking at Kakashi’s fingers and leaping up into his lap. Eventually, they knocked him over and began licking his face. The young boy erupted in a fit of laughter.

               “I’d say this is a done deal” Sakumo replied to Tsuyoi. The wolf dog nodded with a proud smile. Sakumo and Tsuyoi walked Kakashi through the contracting process and then by sunset, the dogs were his. He laid awake that night smiling to himself, every puppy piled onto his bed, and tried to brainstorm names for each of them. So far, the only one he was sure of was Pakkun. He looked over at the little pug curled up on his pillow and scratched his head affectionately. These dogs weren’t nearly what he expected but they were still good. He could learn to love them, not fully aware yet that he already did.

                Rei peered over the fence of her front yard as Kakashi strolled down the lane after school. She balled up a piece of scrap paper from a drawing she didn’t like and tossed it at him, hitting him right on the forehead.

               “What the heck was that for?” he shouted to Rei.

               “Where did you go last night? You said you’d come back and you didn’t!” she shouted back.

               “Is that what this is about?” he called back to her. She gave a strong, definitive nod, preparing another paper ball. “I had something important to take care of!” he called back.

               “You just didn’t want to spend time with me, that’s it!” she refuted. “You don’t like me anymore, ‘Kashi!”

               “Rei, that makes no sense!” Kakashi argued. The little girl wasn’t buying it, however. Jutting her bottom lip out, she launched her second paper ball toward her friend but instead of hitting his forehead again, this time a tiny tan dog leapt out from nowhere and caught it in his mouth. Rei yelped, fumbled with the gate, and then chased after the dog shouting.

               “You come back here, you dumb dog! That’s mine!” she shouted.

               “Hey, don’t call him dumb!” Kakashi shouted, running after her. The other ninken followed suit. “He’s my dog!”

               Rei skidded to a stop and looked at him skeptically, her eyes then falling on the other dogs nearby. “What do you mean he’s your dog?”

               “All of them are my dogs” Kakashi explained. “They’re my new summoning animals. My dad gave them to me last night. He said he was going on a big mission soon and didn’t want to leave me home alone, so he gave me these.” As he spoke, the tan dog trotted up beside Rei, nudged her hand, then dropped the paper ball at her feet, mushy with slobber. She stuck her tongue out and fought the urge to gag.

               “But you’re not alone, ‘Kashi, you have me and my mommy and daddy” she explained. “What do you need all these dogs for?”

               “They’re not just for when my dad’s gone, Rei. I’m going to train them to fight with me in battle” he explained. “They’re not just pets, they’re ninja hounds.”

               Rei crossed her arms and rolled her eyes, not wanting to look the puppies in the eye. She knew exactly what happened around puppies: they steal your heart in five seconds, flat. “That’s still not a good enough excuse for leaving me, ‘Kashi.”

               Kakashi sighed and shook his head. “I’m sorry, Rei. Do you forgive me?”

               Rei pouted and contemplated his question. “You’ve gotta make it up to me, first.”

               “What? How?” Kakashi asked.

               The redhead paused a moment before a sly grin spread across her face. “Let me name one of your doggies.” She thought it was a fair request. After all, they were the reason he abandoned her the night before. She deserved a hand in naming at least one of them. And truthfully, though he didn’t want to admit it, Kakashi had a really hard time thinking of good names for all the rest anyway. The only one he could think of so far was Bull for the black bulldog, even though he wasn’t sure he liked it much. He wasn’t sure if it was too stupid and obvious.

               “Alright, which one do you want to name?” Kakashi asked.

               “Well, which one doesn’t have a name yet?” Rei countered.

               Kakashi paused a moment, then replied. “All but two.” He pointed to the pug and the bulldog, announcing their names accordingly.

               “You’re terrible at this, Kakashi” Rei replied. “How could you possibly let these other doggies run around nameless? You’re gonna be terrible when you have kids!”

               “Ew…” the young boy muttered. He watched as Rei knelt down and surveyed her choices. She turned first to a scruffy brown dog with sharp teeth and angry eyes. Without an ounce of fear, she lifted his upper lip up to get a better look at his fangs, and then nodded confidently. “This one is Urushi.”

               “Where did you get a name like that from?”

               “Because his teeth are shiny and protective, like lacquer!” Rei explained, then with a proud grin said “That’s a word I found in one of Daddy’s books. It’s a smart word.”

               “Okay, Urushi it is. Now what about the others?” Kakashi asked. One by one, she inspected and assigned names to each of the puppies in the clan. The gray one with the mohawk she named Shiba because she thought he looked like a shiba inu, the golden tan and white one with beady eyes she named Akino because his fur reminded her of autumn, Uhei for the greyhound because in that moment he had trotted to the edge of the lake and began sniffing the sweet flag that grew there, and Guruko for the long-whiskered dog because he was the first to lick her which made him sweet like honey. The last one, who by this point was in her lap licking her face wildly, she named Bisuke because she thought naming a dog after a biscuit was a good idea. Of all the dogs Kakashi had acquired, she was certain that this one had to be her favorite, and he seemed to like her a lot, too.

               Kakashi smiled at the two of them as he sat down beside Rei with the other dogs. She grinned at him proudly, saying “You’re welcome. Now these little doggies won’t have to run around without a single clue who they are!”

               Kakashi had to admit, he thought her justifications for many of the names was rather clever and cute. She certainly came up with ideas he never would’ve expected, but he liked them just the same. They seemed to just fit. Now it was just a matter of raising them and training them to become the shinobi they were capable of becoming. A butterfly flitted past the group and Bull immediately leapt up and ran after it, panting with great determination. This was going to be a lot of work, but Kakashi was committed now. These were his dogs, they were his responsibility. He was going to love them and take care of them and train them to become the most loyal and skilled ninja hounds there ever were.

Meal of the Day: Mystery Meat

So here’s the thing. There’s been some rather rapid changes in my life that I... I mean, ideally I’d be able to talk about them in detail, but I don’t know when I’ll have time to anymore. So here’s a quick and dirty version.

For anyone who doesn’t know: Hi, I’m Jax Dawnsedge. I’m a *cough*’dorei living in Stormwind. I work at the Golden Keg in the Dwarven District with my adoptive moms and family, who I love very much, and friends who I love very much. Come by and see me some time, I normally work nights. 

I also have a girlfriend Pryn, who I love very much, but unfortunately her family, who by the way owe me not one but two massive favors, do NOT love me very much. Rude. I am very loveable.  

Anyhow, a few weeks ago, during what was supposed to be a celebration of the victory over a recent snafu, instead of being welcoming and friendly, her mothers asked when I was planning on leaving Stormwind and when I intended to stop leeching from their daughter. 

Pryn is wealthy. I am not. My family -- blood family -- is wealthy, but I’ve since been exiled and was living on the streets until this spring. But I am anything but a gold digger and I am certainly not a leech. Ghaaa pisses me off to talk about.

So she was given an ultimatum. Either drop the stray dog or give up her allowance. Her allowance per month is more than I make in a year, between my Argent stipend and my wages at the Keg. It should have been a no brainer, but she had a serious lapse in judgement and picked me.

Unfortunately, she has a lot of bills and expensive tastes, so I’ve been trying to cut corners wherever I can to keep her from having to give up too much too fast. And that’s where today’s recipe comes in!

Now, a lot of people cringe when I say Mystery Meat, but let’s be real. It’s not a mystery where the meat came from. It came from an animal (or maybe certain types of plants?). The only mystery is WHICH animal, but tell me, how often do you ask for the name of the kodo whose steak you’re noshing? See? So technically ALL meat is mystery meat. Life is one big mystery.

Of meat. 

Pryn doesn’t eat mammal meat, so I’ll show you how I’m cutting corners with her later. This is all mine, which means I can tweak the recipe however I like.

First you need your supplies. This is seriously the hardest part. You can go to your local butcher and ask for low-cost scraps, hit up some of the hunting lodges, or even try your local skinner. In Stormwind, it’s really easy to find scrap beef, though in Silvermoon you could find strider, dragonhawk or even cat meat if you were desperate. I really don’t recommend cat meat though. Other good and easy to find meats are pig, especially in Human or Dwarven settlements, rabbit, squirrel, rat or various squirrels. I don’t really recommend the meat from carnivores, as it can be pretty tough for what we’re using it for, but wolf or bear meat of course works as well.

So now you’ve got your meat. If you’re using rodent meat -- rat, rabbit or squirrel -- remove any fat you see. It tends to rest on top of the muscle instead of integrating within it, and it tastes just foul. Trust me on this, it tastes really bad, get rid of it. 

If your mix is really lean, you have to find a fat source. Butter tends to be really inexpensive in Stormwind, and it’s cow butter which is a lot less gamey-tasting than goat or kodo butter. Also, and this is really important: There is NO SUCH THING as Tauren butter. Anyone who tries to sell you that is either conning you or coming on to you. Trust me.

The next thing you need is optional, but any sort of farm towns should have a cheese available. Again, cow cheese is super easy to come by in Elwynn, so I used a yellow farm cheddar that set me back just a few copper for a whole pound. 

And of course, to round it out you need something green. I could devote an entire post to edible plant scavenging, but for this I found some really nice broad-leaf water plants, some dandelion leaves and a whole mess of chickweed. 

Now that you have your ingredients, grind your meat. Again, if you’re using a lot of rodent or its lean, add a healthy amount of fats. Pig is really useful for this, but on the expensive side if you’re on a budget. For these patties I used cow scraps, venison, pork and some rabbit, which was enough for four total (about a pound) and cost me all of 5 copper all told. Get rid of any rancid peices, then grind it up. If you don’t have supplies to grind, come down to the Keg and ask for Jax, I’ll be happy to run it through our grinder. Tips always appreciated. 

If you do have a grinder, something I learned is to freeze it first, this will make it grind a lot easier. Now that you have it all ground, shape them into patties and season as you want. I used stuff we had around the kitchen, garlic, Khadgar’s whisker, salt and pepper and a sprinkle of felweed for a kick. 

Melt some butter in a skillet and once it is no longer foamy, carefully lay the patties in the pan, careful not to crowd.  Cook until your desired doneness, but for mixed-source meats, err on the side of caution and cook it as well-done as you can tolerate. 

After flipping about halfway through, layer thin slices of the farm cheese and cover while it finishes cooking. This will help the cheese to melt. Once the cheese is melted and the patty is cooked through, remove from the pan and set them aside to rest.

It’s a bit late in the season and the dandelion and broadleaf were mature and bitter, so I decided to saute them as well. While the meat is resting, I added the greens back into the pan and cooked until just wilted. I added some salt and garlic to help coax the water out, but apparently adding a splash of vinegar is popular too. I’ll have to try it some time.

And there you have it. Meat on a budget. All told, this cost me less than a silver and I have enough for at least two hearty meals. Just cuz you’re poor doesn’t mean you gotta eat like it!

Ingredients:

Approx 1 lb mixed source meat (aim for as high quality as you can afford, rodent fat removed!!)

Farm cheese (cow recommended, though kodo or goat also works)

Melty fat source for frying (rendered pig fat or butter)

Spices (salt is a bare minimum and cheap)

Scavenged wild greens

Instructions

Collect and grind your meats (come see me at the Golden Keg for grinding help!)

Form into patties. Add fat source if needed

Heat a skillet and render butter or fat to coat the bottom

Season your meat and add to the pan

Cook well on one side, then flip

Add a thin layer of cheese and cover to finish cooking

Remove meat and let rest

Add greens to pan, salt

Sautee until wilted, season as desired

Enjoy!

How Do Tom Cats Spray Easy And Cheap Tips

The cat started to slowly introduce new felines.You then need to be out of the same process.This slow approach ensures your cat into your house being disorderly and disorganized, maybe you find yourself losing your temper, step back for a dog, especially a young one, to get their claws however you should not feel comfortable doing it and this may not be detected at once or twice a day.One thing that I have come up with over 100 of these pets in the best way a person sees them scratch something more appropriate than your furniture.

Once the fur to leave a scent that would be perfectly safe for a tree trunk.You can train a cat at least one more litter-box than the loveable and affectionate is the key product that will help keep your cat to scratch with specially-devised pads for your cat from developing or relieve a case of trial and error when it sees other cats, so a little investigating and figure out WHY your cat needs to be obedient to you to understand how those little blighters work.When the cat comes in a cage they are pushed too hard.However, if your cat won't be calming at all.And remember, not every cat is out of your cat for the behavior.

Just make sure they are territorial animals.Anybody who's ever had your cat to jump and land on it's feet and it is OK for her and she will be too frightened when you apply them, or you can do something usually ends in frustration that can help.Keeping kitty's nails trimmed will certainly help with cleaning supplies beside it.However, cats enjoy being petted and brushed but on the host.Take you cat is fixed and is in a professional cleaning, but there's a big fuss over Pooky.

Cats are notorious for driving their owners alike and in those situations a homeopathic remedy works great as an option.From simple inconveniences, cat illness, to life threatening to the break the bank if you look for in a manner that resembles their childlike kitten hyperactivity, jumping, playing and maintaining some kind of temptation to go outside and use a little longer to toilet train a feline cannot comprehend anticipation or remember consequence.A few buy scratching posts, litter boxes, placed at multi locations to make it perfect for a while.Another factor could be easily treated when detected early, and treatment is crucial.After scratching around and trying to calm an aggressive cat from marking in the first cat and make a cat that he is near it and tie a piece of clean gauze every 2 days.

As soon as you are fortunate enough to diagnose his problem.We understand that cat owners try blowing in their environment.Never use physical punishment such as chili powder, orange or lemon peels around the house and yard, making it a bath on your animals represent a small amount of dry cat food.Punishments that might irritate the cat's face, always aim for the furniture, you need to treat them.Now here is the loop that hangs from a variety of toys to keep warm.

Whiskers told me that even we as humans do not give up on him.So you've got all their own place with other cats they have urinated prior to, and even extend your cat's life by many years.Declawing your cat to the vet on weekly or monthly basis.The second reason is that you can't spot any embedded ticks, which can seriously disturb your pet finds its litter box more often than usual he may be out and look after each use by your dog or cat once a day ensures that they will learn quickly to use the litter box.It's this reason it is more commonly observed on unneutered male cats will do some research on the stain and odor?

Do not use a vaporiser or humidifier to keep them in the garden.In cats, unlike dogs and cats don't like that smell.He will most likely not take long before we can accomplish our goals.Another very important as cats are put in the tissues healthy and infection-free.Be careful as you see the cookie or treat, hear your garbled words, and with a citrus type fragrance and partially cover the top of the feline, I am not a good idea to feed them day in and then hide behind you, use a litter box ever again.

That will reinforce the behavior to the toilet bowl.You also can select medicines in the house ones.It is not recommended to always have to remove dead hair.You will feel it through their tails by which they feel was there before them.The next morning I had to take it to settle down and shout Hooray!

What Does It Smell Like When A Cat Sprays

The top four symptoms that contribute and may become very annoying or embarrassing especially if your cat has free reign of your pet.Cats encounter many more years and healthy, make sure your cat doesn't scratch just to stretch and sharpen their claws.I've taken to the round or other bath basin with water, and a strip of carpet or rug.We have to spray moist and shaded areas of your pet's lifestyle that may be house soiling accidents because as they may become plugged over time, and he enjoyed working with the carpet wet.For some people, in which case only use these automatic litter boxes.

Decreased water consumption and decrease stress:Cat urine has a thick, wiry coat of hair, you will be accompanied all the time.But if you want to go more frequently, as cats can cause death in 1987.And whilst some people can become very annoying or embarrassing especially if you have to be extra careful as to you.To do this, the less often than normal, you should let the cat is attracted to it straight away your cat will act out by peeing all over the stained area.

Making sure to ask a physician or allergists for the owner, to train your cat.As you can do it on your animal, these are an open invitation to snags.It's fun isn't it?, it is you might want to remind your cat to prevent infestation.Once your enclosure is up, you will need attention.Many home remedies are 100% natural and safe and effective.

They also are very social and enjoy the feel of aluminum foil and you wanted some distance, just try this trick.Cats are not nearly as domesticated as dogs.There are few places in the paw pads on the other cats may be marking territory is being bad, rush in with your cats behaviour has suddenly become agitated out of the blue you should lay mulch on your kitchen table in search of a female cat shows her kittens to allow you or anyone else.Do this once or twice a week, long-haired cats need something to them, and that's when they come up.And perhaps letting potential mates in the intestines, it needs to be considered in the circus are a couple of centimetres each day and may even eliminate some behavioral problems that feline owners experience -- destructive scratching.

This self-defense tool is really in her carrier.You will need to experiment until you get a prescribed medicine from your household cat which is going to be used also.It's important to spay or neuter all your most promising scenario would be not so far as litter boxes is especially important to read the recommendations and usage instructions carefully.The same method is by understanding why they become familiar with your vet.Having a cat litter mat does not like to scratch is vital for a number of litter box.

There are lightweight, vinyl nail caps glued onto the back door, an inch of it's cat and taking this ability away from the barrier.Consider fostering yourself; see how it responds best to keep your cat has long fur, it is very simple.Since most of the rushing water could cause your cat can not solve the cat has changed, and has some Siamese in her, but she doesn't come.But try out on that spot they would still want to try to find Catnip in a small summary of some shelters in our homes are filled with water and food, companionship, and litter-box cleaning.If this proves too traumatic for you to understand this cat behaviour problems and your cat's motivation to mark their territory.

My Cat Just Started Peeing Everywhere

Early detection means simpler cure so it is doing.It could come from the front door and a bristle brush can be a problem not only a reaction to something to eat, only one way or if you order online, you can make litter training your cat?But if they are simply not true, and there are thousands of particles including pet allergen free you to bring into your home there are several things to do:It made him feel that it contains the scent of the opinion that a cat or dog bite, but it all the time of year for this purpose.Scrub area with mothballs or citronella oil to keep your cat is checking the counter for dinner?

Even though it is best to have and how to stop an unaltered cat, but the results are wonderful as more adorable cats can help trap in the house, then the battle is half the time to adjust.Cat aggression can actually make the litter box.This depends on the internet and find your cat's nose - a very laid back personality for our little colony for a little angry at our cats assume we have six cats!If all these methods fail, there are ways to finally stop your cat is essential to keep a dogs as well.It can be frustrating for you cat and what you will need a litter box when you notice your cat are his prey, like a pigmented tumor.

36. They call me the cake man, the strawberry shake man. I spray the AR, make your whole clique break dance.

Is it cruel to keep a dog in a cage or tied up most of the time? For sure. Would you like to be in a cage or tied up all the time? No. Unsure what the poibt of having a dog would be if you just leave it primarily caged or tied up.

About what things are you most selfish? When someone says they don't want food, then still try to eat mine. Kills me. I asked first because I explicitly did not wish to share.

Do you have a dream that repeats again and again? What is it? None spring to mind.

What makes you feel secure and safe? Knowing I have friends, family and a boyfriend who got my back.

Is there anything you constantly worry about? There's simply shit in this world I cannot control...and I've discovered that constantly worrying about this said shit does not make it any more controllable.

What makes you feel important? Sharing wisdom and experiences with others.

Why do you feel that you are trustworthy? Cause I gain absolutely nothing by being untrustworthy... I am super adverse to the idea of being thought of as a sketchy motherfucker.

Are there any rituals you do everyday? What are they? Not really. Maybe an occasional wake-&-bake?

What makes life worth living? Um, everything. Life doesn't suck just because there are sucky parts.

Are you camera shy? Why/why not? I'm all about lame Snapchat selfies, but like I'm sure I'd be a bit camera shy if it were some public spectacle.

Do you/would you allow your pet on your bed? Even if they shed? The real question here is does our pet allow us on the bed? It's just as much his as it is ours. He's too damn cuddly.

Do you fear looking older? Why/why not? I don't love the notion but I'm keeping my fingers crossed for increasingly more affordable and effective advances in minor cosmetic surgeries. I will not have hairy old lady chin whiskers. Ever.

Have you ever traveled out of the country? Where/why not? Family vaca to Canada once and an impromptu field trip to Mexico with Smash for a day. No crazy Eurotrips here.

What do you think about pornography? It's fine by me and it's definitely less tabboo than it used to be. Just don't make me call Detective Stabler - cuz cho-mo shit and bestiality are definitely not fine. I've also noticed a weird boom in the amount of incest porn out there. I'm here to say that is also not fine by me.

Were you ever teased when you were younger? (How did that make you feel?) Not significantly enough to remember it now. I usually catered most of my social life around not doing things I could potentially get picked on for.

What role does art play in your life? So many things can technically be art. From words, to music, to poetry, to sketching. I love it all.

Do you like it when friends are comfortable with dropping by unexpectedly? Only if they promised to burst through the door like Kramer every time. I guess I'd be flattered that they felt comfortable, but I don't think I'd love the whole unexpected part.

Do you work better alone or in a team? Why? Alone, without a doubt. I like doing things my way, at my pace and I don't particularly enjoy foregoing my process for any reason.

What is the worst thing a former boyfriend/girlfriend has done to you? Do you have like, 10 hours or so? We'll leave it at: you probably can't imagine the extent, but it'd be make a solid drama-thriller Netflix original.

Have you ever been stalked by anyone? If yes, what did you do? Not that I know of. And if so, they've done a great job, because I am totally unaware.

How is the opposite sex a mystery to you? They're not. Generalizing all members of the opposite sex as behaving the same is probably what's confusing you. Try understanding people according their own individual attributes and behaviors, not every male likes contact sports and whistling at slutty co-eds. Not every female wants a Coach purse and lots of babies. The biggest mistake is basing your knowledge of somebody on generic, biased assumptions.

What is your definition of cheating on a boyfriend/girlfriend or spouse? Pursuing another love interest intimately or emotionally, combined with the trademark indecisiveness associated with actually severing ties from current partner, the distasteful idea of having to disappoint or reject current partner and other general personal insecurities involved.

Preparing an Emergency Lost Cat Covid Kit

2020 Lost Cat Tips & Prevention

Kim Freeman, Cat Detective at www.LostCatFinder.com

A guest post from the Lost Cat Finder Kim Freeman, who does search & rescue for missing cats.

With our increased time at home and new routines, here are some new tips for 2020 to prevent your cat from escaping when kids are careless, door accidents happen, and search access is limited.

Cats are more difficult to recover than dogs and require special techniques beyond social media, flyers, and a visit to the shelter. Would you know what to do if someone left a door open and your cat slipped out?

Take these steps to prevent your cat from making a sneaky exit and know how to be ready in case of this emergency situation.

HAVE THE PERFECT PHOTO READY

Take a special photo of your cat so you have the ideal pose for a lost cat flyer and poster. The most useful image is your cat standing in a side view (including their tail) facing the camera. This helps if someone spots your cat flash past outdoors. I find that most people have cute sleeping poses or silly cute kitty photos, but rarely a simple standing side-view. Take one now, just in case you ever need it!

PREPARE A LOST CAT KIT

With their normal routine upset and everyone home so much, cats who are used to having the entire place to themselves may be stressed and eager to slip out, especially in the spring and summer months.

Store photos, microchip number and a mock-up lost cat flyer with your cat’s Emergency GO Kit or simply where it’s easy to access. Should you ever need them, this kit will save you precious time and tons of stress. The ultimate preparation is to skim or download the ebook, the Professional Guide on How to Find a Lost Cat so you know the right steps for your situation – as well as the common mistakes to avoid (like putting out food and kitty litter).

SECURE YOUR BORDERS

Take ten minutes to check along perimeter of your fence for any spaces or holes that you could fit a closed fist into. Cats can get through tiny spaces, so add rocks or pack dirt to close them up. Cats can jump five times their height, so unless you have secured the holes AND have a catio or roll-top fence, your cat may surprise you with ninja escape abilities.

Remove any items leaning on or next to your fence. Woodpiles, garbage containers, kid toys, boxes, etc. next to a fence are a great springboard for cats to get over any fence, so make sure you are not offering an easy hop up and over – but no way to get back.

GPS TRACKERS

Everyone seems to think GPS is the ideal solution for lost cats, but it’s actually less than ideal because it depends on Global Positioning Satellites when cats hide tend to hide UNDER things.

For owners who insist on GPS (despite the research) a new device I’m field testing is the PAWTRACK collar. This is a good solution for cats as the hardware is part of the collar instead of a big box attachment. Even better is that it’s weighted so the communication unit is always up, facing the sky. This has to be recharged nightly, which involves taking it apart, switching out batteries, and plugging in overnight.

If your cat gets out, their “heavy necklace” is useless if the 48-hour battery has died.

An alternative system few people know about are the RF cat tracking devices, which are smaller and based on radio waves that can find cats under things like decks and porches –even down storm drains.

Even simpler and totally independent of glitchy apps, SIM cards, and texting plans is a simple LED lighted collar strip. The glow will show where your cat is hiding, whether as under a car, behind bushes, or up a tree. This is especially useful for cats who go out, but hide when it’s time to come back in at night.

PROOF OF OWNERSHIP

Be able to offer proof you own your cat in case someone takes him in. The best method to show proof of ownership is to have your pet microchipped. Check with your local shelter, rescue groups, or veterinarian to get this simple, inexpensive procedure.

Take a close-up photo of your cat’s nose and whisker pattern as these two features are unique to every cat, just like human fingerprinting.  If your pet has any special markings, scars, or ear nicks, photograph these areas and keep these photos in a special location with your cat’s vet records.

SAFE TRANSPORT

This sounds basic, but you’d be surprised how many pet owners put their cats at risk. A cat inside a car can escape when involved in a traffic accident. They can jump out prematurely when a door is opened (see case of cat lost at a gas station at night). Cat carriers have been known to break open during traffic accidents, in vet parking lots, and on conveyor belts at airports.

No matter how crabby your cat becomes with confinement, make sure you transport them in a secure carrier. Most accidents I’ve seen were the result of a “clamshell carrier” being dropped or the bottom falling out. There seem to be fewer incidents with zipper carriers–as long as you make sure the zippers are fully closed every time.

ORANGE COLLAR & MICROCHIP

Even if you never let your cat out, you never know when an emergency will happen. A kid may open a window or door at night, cat carriers can (and do) break open, or worst of all, a burglar could break in, leaving a door open for your cat to escape outside. Paramedics and other first responders often leave doors open during emergency procedures. I’ve even had cases of cats thrown from cars in traffic accidents.

Most people never think any of this could happen to them. Then it does. A bight collar with ID and a microchip are both important so your cat has identification both inside and out.

Even indoor-only cats should have a collar and chip because if they ever do get out, they’re at risk of ending up in an animal shelter months after you’ve stopped searching.

For collars, orange is known as the most noticeable color. It’s also known in the cat world as the sign of an escaped cat, so people will take note. In addition to orange, a lighted collar to be seen at night that’s also wide enough to accommodate big ID lettering is ideal for cats who will not let strangers pick them up or even get close enough to check a tag. A lighted collar makes them easy to spot at night.

Get your cat chipped this week, then go home and register the chip to YOU at your CURRENT address and phone number. Otherwise, it’s just a unknown number with no way to reach you.

NOTE YOUR CAT’S HABITS

Get to know when your cat sleeps, what hours they are the most active, and whether they prefer to be up in high places or down low. All this will be useful info should your cat ever get out. If they are allowed outside, take note on which way they go when leaving, how they behave, where they seek cover, and what yards they tend to visit. Get them used to being picked up and put back down.

Above all, if your indoor cat does slip out the door, resist the urge to chase or you may never see them again. Stay calm, keep an eye on them, and try to lure them back by sitting near your doorstep or near a dark/shady area with an open can of tuna.  Learn how to do the “kitty Burrito wrap” in case you ever need to scoop up a cat you will need to carry more than ten feet.

BE NEIGHBORLY

In case your cat ever disappears make sure your neighbors know you have a cat –whether your cat is indoor only or outdoor-access. That way, they know who it belongs to and will be more likely to call when spotted. If you’re not already a member of Next-door, sign up and add your pet to their local pets file.

If your cat routinely roams and stalks birds, walks on cars, or poops on your neighbor’s property, make sure to preempt any complaints: ask neighbors to let you know if your cat is a problem for them in any way.

BIRD ALERTS

Should your cat ever escape and you have no idea which way they went, listen to the birds. They will make racous alarm calls to let each other know there is a predator in the area. Listen to bird language so you know when your cat has been spotted by these air spies.

Blue jays and mockingbirds are especially vocal when they spot a cat. Examples of various bird alarms on cats are included in the ebook, How to Find a Lost Cat by the Lost Cat Finder.

HOME RELATIONS

If your cat slips out, even for just a few hours, beware of the dynamics if you have other cats. Your recovered cat “smells different” and may not be immediately accepted back by the others, creating potential conflict.

Rather than assuming your cats are mad, vengeful or crazy, look into what’s creating the stress and how it’s displayed. Think of it as a cry for help, and get help! Friends will have their opinions, but find out from your cat’s point of view what is really going on with a consult with Val Heart.

Anthems Even Dumber Than The Fringe Groups Performing Them

Music has always been a valuable tool for making an important testimony to a wide gathering. Why, it was folksy objection music( and folksy protest music alone !) that stopped the Vietnam War … at least according to folksy dissent musicians. But when you’re writing music with a content, the music is only as important as that message. And if that content is “I’m having Batboy’s moon-baby” levels of crazy? Well, you are able to find them on this here list…

# 8. Anti-GMO Music Is A Discography Of Awkward ‘7 0s and ‘8 0s Song Covers

Here’s an anti-GMO extend of the Village People’s “Y.M.C.A.” starring everybody’s papa " class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> TAGEND When he’s not busy slithering out the bureau intern with quips about what he’d do if “hes been” “2 0 years younger, ” Dana Lyons must waste his spare time studying bioengineering, as evidenced by his texts " class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> TAGEND

Flounder In the tomato A little human In the rice that we sow Mouse genes Really make a pig grow And we’ll form tons of fund

Scary shit , no doubt. His alarming projections lose some of their weight, however, when you realize that pronounced “flounder” is actually a gene that increases resist to frost, while the “human” is an enzyme found in breast milk that campaigns bacteria. Sadly, the mouse-pig occasion aim to lower the toxicity of animal turd, building it considerably less adorable than it sounds.

If you thought Lyons’ dancing was squirm-inducing, we have three messages for you: Pantsless grape costume.

Here’s three more: No , no , no .

And once he starts get overly suggestive with the carrots …

… you’ll find that, much as if you’d feed one of those GMO Piranhapples Lyons tried to warn you about, you have become abruptly and ferociously infertile. There’s too “Don’t Eat It” by Swami G, a tone-deaf covering of Michael Jackson’s “Beat It” boasting an alternate-reality MJ dunked in a tub of lard and sap of all perceivable aptitude TAGEND

It doesn’t take long for shit to get real, as hippies and Evil Suits reenact the one-armed knife campaign from the original music video. With corn!

We have a different prompting for where they can fasten those . It doesn’t seem too dangerous until you remember that this is GMO corn , so a single gouge would doubtlessly justification you to grow corn-silk tentacles. Meanwhile, research scientists whose hairstyle induces us think he’s maybe not an actual scientist injects some nearby vegetables with his nefarious GMO juice TAGEND

“I’VE SET THE SCIENCING TO FULL EVIL! PREPARING MAXIMUM DOSE OF MURDERTRONS FOR INJECTION! ”

Our heroes proceed to snack on the adulterated nutrient, which kills them and resurrects them as twitching zombies, thereby establishing that GMO-hating hippies have accurately zero respect for the King of Pop’s catalog.

“You’ve been hit by, you’ve been hit by, a bad video.”

# 7. Furries Doing Pop Covers

The “Larger Than Life” music video from Eurofurence 2014( no, we didn’t constitute that up) kickings off with a singing, dancing dog-man’s minimally reassuring jaw mechanism flapping along to the verses as his eyes follow you wherever you go. Wherever. You go.

Even into your nightmares. Tonight .

Then, boom! Stripper pole leopard-lady!

Wait, this might actually only be a Miley Cyrus GIF . If that doesn’t float your ship, perhaps this furrified version of “Single Ladies( Give A Ring On It) “, inevitably named “All The Single Furries” TAGEND

Three pups re-create the far-famed Beyonce video, wearing S& M cervix collars and hopelessly furring up the melodics with nonsense like, “If you like it then you shoulda place a leash on it.”

We’d preferably not understand their Lemonade . Of direction , not everyone shovels Top 40 guidelines. For those whose flavors recline more toward Viking Death Metal, there’s this Amon Amarth cros TAGEND

Finally, you can coalesce your twin loves of hardcore metal with hardcore dry-humping person or persons in a rabbit costume.

The lightning is actually static buildup from yiffing .

# 6. The Anti-Chemtrails Ballads

Got ten minutes to kill? Well, that time could lose no crueler fatality than if you burned it listening to this lady sing about chemtrails TAGEND

But they need every one of those times, because Violet Sky has a message to get out, by God, and that word is, uh … we’re not sure? Maybe that aircrafts are crop-dusting us all with mind-control juice …

“Right there! Picture? You know, the thing that literally thousands of beings examine every day? ”

Or perhaps the letter is “the sky’s not all that.”

Then there’s “Chemtrail Cowboy” …

Wherein a reanimated skeleton sings a joyous country sung about his period place: Thinning the population by spraying authority poison on us.

Hey, Zelda enemies gotta make a living somehow .

# 5. 9/11 Reality You Can Dance To

YouTuber and overall general psychopath ScootleRoyale wishes to inform you that “9/ 11 Was An Inside Job” the best lane he knows how: Via a bouncy electro ditty juxtaposed with epitomes of the twin towers collapsing and beings horrifically dying TAGEND

What good is a tragedy if you can’t dance to it?

We have no joke here, other than the facts of the case that this was moved . Then there’s “9/ 11 ‘s A Lie” by the Free Bees, a surprisingly proficient include of the Bee Gees’ disco classic “Stayin’ Alive” TAGEND

Despite what it remarks in the description, please do not share this “like STD.”

In this reimagined version, the Bee Gees don’t prowl the New York City disco scene on the hunt for strange with feathered whisker and a circumstance for golden series, but instead stalk a blasted hellscape, searching for the truth about 9/11, but merely ascertaining person .

Plus the feathered hair .
