I had a mental silly last night, brushed my teeth cut my hair and spent an hour making a resume and looking for a job, did my makeup and ultimately got tired and went to bed

today I got my first concussion (by fainting in a chair at work while giving a 4 hour presentation 💀) and at some point amongst other post-injury symptoms had my first shart- hopefully not while I was unconscious for 10 seconds, but who knows

random OC ask: say your OC is a love interest (in BG3 or a relationship-heavy game format of your choosing) — what does their first romance or "deepening the relationship" cutscene look like?

Ooohohooho this is a fun one, why not both?

I think Siobhan’s act one story would be her overcoming her fiercely independent streak. Think a “you don’t have to shoulder your burdens alone” type thing. So her romance or relationship scene would reflect this.

I really like the idea of playing with wild shape for character development so the first relationship cutscene would be the player finding an unfamiliar cat (you can recognize her with an insight check) and approaching it. You get these options:

1. Shoo it away (-3)

2. Hold out your hand and beckon it closer (+3)

3. (Passed insight) “Hello Siobhan, having a nice stroll? (+5)

4. Attack (she leaves the party)

5. Leave (-1)

All of these options lead to her dismissing her wildshape and answering you, the scene ends with her either surprised you recognized her and were kind to her or grumpy at being dismissed (she’s crying out for attention by turning into a very cute cat and being passive aggressive about it). After this one of her camp idle animations can be her preening as a cat at her tent.

Her first romance specific scene would be after the tiefling party like the others (with the potential to be triggered early with high approval) Your dialogue would be pretty standard hero fare like

“I’m glad we were able to balance the grove, silvanus must be pleased”

or

“It is shameful kagha turned to the shadows but we did what must be done to restore the grove”

The romantic lines you would get would be something like

“without you by my side it wouldn’t have been quite so easy”

and

“perhaps I could keep you by my side a little longer tonight?”

She would answer “perhaps you can, if you can find me later” (still dodgy and passive aggressive) or if not interested “being by your side during the day is quite enough for me thank you” (dodgy and aggressive aggressive)

The scene itself would be finding her on a secluded spot of beach and going skinny dipping in the moonlight, very cinematic and all. Her ending dialogue would be something like “had I known you were a man/woman/hero of these talents I would have let you stick you nose into my business sooner. Now let’s get some rest.” (entendre intended, she really is grateful to have found a friend in you but she doesn’t know how to tell you).

I'm trying to write a post about tick safety and avoiding tick bites, but a lot of the info on websites is like "Avoid going in the woods, in plants, and where there are wild animals" and "Activities like hiking and gardening can put you at risk" and I'm like thanks! This is worthless!

As ticks and tick borne illnesses are expanding their range, I think it's important for people to be educated about these things, and I think it's especially important to give people actual advice on how to protect themselves instead of telling them to just...avoid the natural world

Rough draft version of Tick Advice:

Ticks don't jump down on you from trees, they get on you when you brush against grass, brush, bushes etc.

Ticks get brought to an area when they get done feeding from an animal and fall off them. In the USA, the main tick-bringing animal is deer, but I've seen plenty ticks on feral cats and songbirds.

Ticks get killed when they dry out so drier areas with more sunlight are less favorable to ticks.

The above is useful for figuring out whether an area is likely to have lots of ticks, and how vigilant you have to be in that area.

Wear light-colored, long pants outside. Tuck your pants into your socks, and tuck your shirt into the waist of your pants. Invest in light, breathable fabrics idc

IMMEDIATELY change out of your outside clothes when you come back from a tick-prone area, wash them, and dry them on high heat to kill any ticks that might be stuck on.

Shower and check yourself for ticks after coming inside. Hair, armpits, and nether regions in particular. You can use a handheld mirror or rely on touch; an attached tick will feel like a bump kinda like a scab

While you're outside, you can just periodically check for ticks by running your hands down your legs and checking visually to see if anything is crawling on your clothes. Light colors make them easy to spot, and they don't move fast.

Combing through each others' hair to check for creepy crawly critters is a time-honored primate ritual and is not weird. When hiking, bring a friend who will have your back when you feel something on your neck and need to know if it's sweat or a tick

If you're careful, you can usually catch ticks before they bite you, but if one does bite you, it's not the end of the world. Since tickborne diseases are different regionally i suspect this advice will differ based on where you are, but the important thing is remove the tick with tweezers (DON'T use butter, a lit match, or anything that kills the tick while it's still attached, please) and contact a doctor to see what to watch for. Most illnesses you can catch from ticks are easily treatable if you recognize them when symptoms first appear

I got bitten by a feral cat at work yesterday, no excuses I was neing stupid and not thinking, went to a clinic and they gave me a medication which has a side effect of making you more sensitive to sun. I am already very white and very sensitive to the sun. This will be great fun just so much fun

Ok we’re doing some Hobie hcs bc we need some good food around here. Tw for past abuse, sexual abuse (not on him), mentioned pet death, foster care, dystopian themes, drug use

Hobie is technically a missing person. He escaped from an abusive foster home when he was 12 and was unhoused for most of his adolescence.

He does actually own the crappy boat he lives in, only because it was given to him by an older unhoused friend who had gotten it on the cheap and had been trying to convert it into a permanent home but sadly died before it was fully finished. Hobie finished the conversion himself and has lived there since, largely undetected except by the select few people he wants to be able to find him.

He loves children and animals and is extremely good with them. He never baby talks to actual babies/little kids but hand him a kitten and he gets all mushy lol

He doesn’t eat meat because despite very much enjoying killing fascists, the PM’s smashed head looked like mince and he thinks about it all the time. He has absolutely no trouble shedding blood and guts but a bloody steak will make him straight up gag. He eats fish tho

His boat has a clan of “feral” cats that wait around on the deck for him to come home bc he feeds them even if he doesn’t have enough for himself. It’s a little bit dangerous to always have a NYAAAAAA alarm any time the cats hear him web sling in but he refuses to shoo them away. They aren’t technically his cats but when one of them dies he has to hide how torn up he is about it (because cats are smaller and more innocent and more trusting and more free than he can ever be)

He struggled with opiate addiction from a severe depression he went through during the period of time when he stopped being Spider-Man. He got clean and has stayed away from pills since (he won’t even take paracetamol) but smokes weed he grows himself in a closet to curb persisting urges. Also cigarettes. He tries not to overdo it with booze either but isn’t always successful. (If you don’t know about him having the Sam Raimi Spider-Man 2 quitting canon event, it’s in the web of life and destiny scene where all of them are looking at their respective canon events)

Hobie is extremely compassionate and it affects the way he does his work as Spider-Man. He allows certain things to happen that other Spideys wouldn’t and he’s vocally in opposition to the other Spideys’ brutalization of people committing crimes of desperation. He believes that crimes like theft are a symptom of a greater societal disease. He’ll interject in instances of violent robbery or mugging and things like that but only to ensure that the victims are safe, then determine the root cause of the attack and try to offer the perpetrator some direction. Sometimes the cause is hunger, addiction, or another unmet need. Hobie is much more willing to help them with that than have them thrown in prison. He doesn’t do that with rapists though, he kills those on sight. 🖤

Hobie has trained himself to look casual even though he’s always struggling with hyper-vigilance. He knows he doesn’t even need to keep that close attention on everything—that’s what spider senses are for—but he still takes note of all exits in a building, takes the seat against the wall, and analyzes the body language of everybody he sees for potential danger.

He’s also very emotionally intelligent. While he doesn’t show strong emotions outside of his Spider-Man persona very often, if ever, he can read everybody else’s without them even knowing and act accordingly. Sometimes he does this to prevent conflict, and other times he does it to cause conflict lol

He hasn’t cried in years but doesn’t consider that to be a “win” because sometimes he needs to cry to vent the extraordinary pressure of his place in the world and just can’t. His music is essential to keep him from completely spiraling since he has no other form of release.

He’s all for sexual liberation and consensual parties doing whatever they want. However, he doesn’t do casual sex himself. He needs to really bond with someone before he even wants to get intimate like that with anyone. This can be a problem because despite having quite a large social circle, he feels emotionally isolated in the same way that Gwen does, scared to bring anyone too close for fear of getting them killed.

His attraction and gender expression are pretty up in the air, though he doesn’t identify as trans and keeps he/him pronouns. His stance is that all that shit about gender norms was made up a long time ago and forced on everybody else and he’ll be damned if he lives out somebody else’s plan for his life.

Hobie is a singer in the same sense that cereal is technically a soup. He’s lucky his guitar skills are crazy bc his vocal range is really limited. Punk music works out for him like that—he doesn’t have to actually sing well for it to sound good. He actually likes all kinds of music but punk is the one he’s most comfortable actually performing.

He takes extremely good care of his hair and makes most of his body care/cosmetics himself because the cosmetics industry is indescribably evil. If he HAS to buy product, he only gets from black owned sources. Otherwise he mostly steals drug store lipstick and nail polish or calls dibs when his friends do their bi yearly dumping of their crusty purses and all the half-crushed expired makeup falls out with the crumbs and loose aspirin tablets lmao

Good morning Amity Park, I'm your ghostly weatherman, Lance Thunder. Today's Friday, December 8, and there’s a 0% chance of rain. Highs are in the high fifties and the lows are in the mid forties.

I apologize for my absence, I was trapped in a Fenton Thermos.

The box ghost caused a road accident yesterday by throwing a box at a car while fighting against Danny Phantom. Luckily, nobody was seriously injured or killed in this accident.

A group of feral cats near McMasters is suspected to be carrying Rabies. Please avoid the area if possible. Once symptoms show, rabies is 100% fatal and can be contracted by humans.

The Fentons will likely not be driving today.

do you know if theres any harmless tailless genes that can be present in american feral cat colonies? theres a big problem with feral cats where i live and recently a kitten (maybe 6-8 months) has appeared near my property but she has no tail at all, not even a little bob. im extremely worried that the manx gene might be present in the feral colony, even though she's the only one ive seen with no tail. she's too young for it to have been an accident or an amputation, i think, and it looks completely natural. she's super skittish so unfortunately i dont have any pictures

To the best of my knowledge there are 2 types of bobtail genes that have been documented.

The “asian bobtail” is caused by a HES7 mutation. This results in a short, kinked but not absent tail and isn’t associated with any health issues. This gene is responsible for Japanese Bobtails and likely the cause for other Eastern bobtail breeds such as the Kurilian and Mekong.

The “natural bobtail” is caused by a T-Box mutation. The expression of this gene is highly variable and not predictable, ranging from a decreased tail length to an entirely absent tail. This gene is responsible for the Manx and has also been documented in other Western bobtail breed such as the American Bobtail and Pixiebob.

The “manx gene” appears to be somewhat present in American feral populations, as evidenced by the presence of “manx syndrome” in affected moggies.

Bunni has a “stumpy” tail and is afflicted with manx syndrome effecting her gait and resulting in urinary incontinence, needing her bladder expressed manually throughout the day.

Cora has a “stumpy” tail and is effected by manx syndrome resulting in a degree of fecal incontinence which is managed reasonably well on a prescription diet.

Will doesn’t have a listed tail-length but is somewhere on the manx spectrum and has both urine and fecal incontinence due to manx syndrome.

Linguine has a “stumpy” or “longy” tail, based on the one image where it’s visible, and due to manx syndrome experiences urinary incontinence when she’s asleep.

Bob had a “rumpy riser” tail and is fully incontinent due to manx syndrome but wears a diaper without a problem.

Rumpie is a “rumpy” with no tail who has a gait effected by manx syndrome and a degree of incontinence.

Cece is a “rumpy” with no tail and has issues with constipation and doesn’t always make it to the litterbox as a result of manx syndrome.

Bunny, Monkey, Billy Cat and Olaf are all tailless “rumpy” cats with degree of incontinence. Bunny is also lame in a hind leg.

Research has indicated that tailless cats experience a significantly increased rate of manx syndrome - although it can effect any tail length where the gene is present, as seen by some of these adoptable cats.

So that does put your feral at a statistical disadvantage but it isn’t a guarantee she’ll have any clinical symptoms of manx syndrome. That’s part of what makes this gene so insidious, we know rumpy cats are most likely to be impacted but beyond that it’s anyones guess which cats will display symptoms and how severe.

I think these random-bred moggies being mislabeled as manx or manx mixes is the one time I’m not bothered by breed misrepresentation, as the issues the experience are the same as the real deal and it raises awareness of manx syndrome.

You know, I rarely come across popsci articles that make me angry enough to do a point by point debunking but here we fucking are.

"Fact" 1: Your cat doesn't love you.

Citations: Two studies. One that was inconclusive on whether cats care if their owners leave and come back, but the author has decided that there is "proof enough" that they don't. Marvelous investigative work. The other is that cats hear their owners but don't come when they call. Strange, because dogs do the exact same thing and have to be specifically trained to be called.

"Fact" 2: Your cat isn't really showing you affection

Citations: 1 study stating that cats rub your legs to spread their scent (we already knew that), one stating that cats who don't like being petted but tolerate it have higher stress levels than cats who just run away (yup. not all dogs like being petted either), and one study that found that cats use different purrs with humans when soliciting food and when not, which the author then flat out lies about by saying that cats only use purrs for humans when they want food. Because fuck reaching, let's just straight up lie and hope no one clicks the link to call bullshit. What the fuck.

"Fact" 3: They're an environmental disaster

This one is just straight up true. Feral cats are the one if not the most dangerous invasive species humans introduce. Stop letting your cats outside and spay and neuter any you find. What I object to is the framing of feral dogs as a "lesser" threat. They're third on the list after cats and rats and pretty much every study on them concludes with "we need a LOT more data, this is a much bigger problem than we thought". You don't become the planet's most common carnivore without squishing a few hundred (or thousand) more species on the way.

"Fact" 4: They're going to make you insane through T. gondii infection.

It's here that we get the usual flurry of studies on how people with T. gondii infections turn schizophrenic or get into more traffic accidents or become business majors (I'm not kidding about this). What it doesn't mention is a) some of those studies need to be redone and b) the biggest risk to getting T. gondii isn't having a litter box, it's eating undercooked meat. Studies have been inconclusive on whether cleaning a cat's litter tray actually increases the chances of T. gondii, and have focused primarily on pregnant European women. I'm not saying that this might not be a threat, I'm saying that hyperfocusing on a maybe infection with unclear symptoms is kind of stupid when we have plenty of well-documented zoonotic diseases from both dogs and cats.

So yeah, click the links on pop sci articles to make sure they aren't lying to you about the results of the study.

[Macaque also develops a weird craving for cheese tea later in pregnancy for some reason.]

Does he develop any other weird cravings? Or SWK?

Macaque as mentioned craves cheese tea. Anything creamy and/or sweet. He also gets odd cravings for charcoal (really common in primates). Tang introduces him to chargrilled paneer and Macaque is just in bliss.

SWK, to his horror, craves spicy/hot foods. He does not like anything with heat to it - this man barely tolerates his food being cooked. He ignores these cravings by nomming on things with lots of ginger and/or cinnamon in them. Ice cubes too, for the cronch.

Another often ignored symptom of pregnancy is "Anti-cravings/Food adversions" aka "If I even think or smell about this food I will cry".

Wukong learns about this the hard way when the texture and taste of a peach nearly makes him throw up. He is not having a fun time.

Macaque on the otherhand gets an aversion to fish + sea smells, which he doesnt really care about. Until he starts hanging out with Sandy on the boat, then it gets really hard to ignore. Sandy is a G at providing ginger tea and aromatheraphy though.

Wukong, after another failed attempt to eat a peach: *whine!* :( Macaque: "Who would've thought the thing that stopped the Great Sage Equal to Heaven from eating peaches was sympathetic pregnancy? If only the Empress knew, she would have encouraged us to procreate sooner." >:) Wukong: "pls do not laugh at my misery. The very thought of peaches is making me sad." Macaque: "Oh please. You're overreacting." Pigsy: "Hey you guys want some fish soup?" Macaque: *loud hissing!* >:O!! Wukong: "Now who's overreacting?" >:D Pigsy, to himself: "I swear its like I took in a pair of feral alley cats."

The second the food adversions go away (for SWK about a month after MK is born, Mac a lot longer), Wukong dives head first into a crate of peaches.

He also gains a... sense of when things are expecting.

Wukong, post-S3: *bites peach. Feels sick* "???" *looks at Mac* Macaque: "..." Wukong: "...we should ask Guanyin about something later." Macaque: "Yeah..."

And thats how they learned Rumble & Savage were coming.

Hello friend, it been an long while sense I sent you an request. Can you do kenshi and Takeda and Cassie with an reader who loves animals and even bring them into base so she can help them if injury

hiya! so glad you're back! hope you enjoy x

MK Peeps Reacting to Reader Who Loves and Rescues Animals

Kenshi

He appreciates that you love animals but thought you had both agreed that you wouldn't bring anything wild back home. How exactly he will explain this to the hawk chilling on your sofa is beyond him as he despondently calls out your name.

"Yeah, honey?" you call back as you walk in, where both the hawk and Kenshi are glaring at each other. "Oh! This is Mr. Eagleton!" you explain, "He won't be here long". Kenshi sighs, that was exactly what you said about the raccoon that now lives in the driveway.

Takeda Takahashi

Is a huge admirer of your work and actively helps look after and rehabilitate the animals you care for. This isn't to say that the animals are always ecstatic about being rescued.

During a misguided attempt to trap a squirrel (that you had already named "Fuzz Aldrin"), you were scratched badly. Ultimately you were fine, but not before Takeda had to take you to the doctors for several weeks while you got your rabies shots. Now both of you focus on rescuing animals that don't have rabies symptoms.

Cassie Cage

Every time you bring another animal home, Cassie always says "Alright, we'll keep it, but this is the last one, okay?". And you always promise until you rescue a new animal that has such a tragic story, like the puppy that lost its leg and was living in a radioactive waste bin. And whenever you explain to Cassie, she's like "Oh my God, that's so sad! Of course, the little guy can stay with us... But no more, right?" and the cycle continues.

The semi-feral cats that hang around the Special Forces base are allowed to stay, they don't cause much trouble.

Summer is here and you are a werecreature with alot of fur. Now what?

The summer seasons can be a fun time for many, no work, no stress, only fun and relaxation under the sun and the moon! But most werecreatures are very furry, and that hot thick fur could really get in the way and cause severe problems. So what should you do? First, know what kind of fur you possess. Every creature has different kinds of furs, Wolves, Dogs, Cats, Hyenas, Coyotes and so on, the lenght, the thickness and how much you have has a major difference on how to properly maintain it and take care of it.

Once you do, ask a local vet or inform yourself with the internet and books about what these creatures would do in the summer heats, what keeps them cool and healthy during the heatwaves.

If by chance at night times, you have a major different appearance from the animal you are [Having more fur then a hyena usually has for exemple] you'll have to take direct action, even if you think you'll be OK, you can never be too careful.

Ask your most trusted friend to give you a trim and cut down that fur for the nights, ask them for company and to do things you're unable to do due to your size and clumsy clawed hands or paws, such as turning on the AC or fan or getting cool drinks in the fridge.

By the chance you arent conscious at night and turn savage/feral, you cant depend on a trim. You'll have to prepare before the night comes. Before you chain or lock yourself, get as many fans as you can and place them in front of where you stay, or turn the AC on in a low but cooling temperature as to not completly freeze the room. Replace your water with iced water and if only absolutely possible, keep the window open just a crack.

For day times, when you are a human, you will feel extra heated due to the werecreature symptoms and the mean sun, be sure to take just as good care as your human self as you would do with your nightly self. Drink plenty of water, eat very clean and fresh foods, eat some nice cool treats, have fun while you can! Enjoy a beach, a pool, out with friends, a picnic, enjoy life!

But what about the Scaley Werecreatures?

Scaley creatures such as lizards, snakes, crocodiles and such arent as much in danger as furry werecreatures, the scales are strong against heat and these creatures actually enjoy the heat. But they are stil not immune to the same cares that the furry werecreatures are reccomended.

Be sure to take plenty of cold showers, while the scales are able to handle the heat, you may not notice you could be overheating, so pay attention and be sure to refresh yourself regularly. Drink plenty of water and eat lots of refreshing fruits to keep you cool.

During the night times, if possible, have a friend over to help cool you down, scales in the summer could compromise movement and you could get a little hard to move, having a friend will help reach those tough spots. Some icepacks on the scales could be refreshing and relaxing at the same time

If you arent conscious at night times and become savage/feral, once again, keep the fans or AC on and have some cool water next to the cages or chains.

With all that said, have fun in the sun fellow werecreatures! be safe and keep howling!

Shola Ajao

@killersweetie @ameleii @maythearo @captain-liminal @seraphni @starplatnium029

Name: Shola Ajao

Race: Manticore Fae/Lion beastman

Age: 19

Gender: Female

Height: 6'3

Weight: 225 lbs

Appearance: Red cat-like eyes, dark skin, plump lips, long kinky black hair, large goat horns, tall stature, large bust and assets, lion tail with scorpion barb at the end, lion ears

Personality: Shola is a competitive woman, as well as goal oriented.

She's willing to do whatever it takes to survive, and is extremely intelligent in her own right. Powerful as well. Power and mind go hand in hand in her eyes.

Shola is short tempered at times, but only after being pushed. Otherwise, she's smug and ready to challenge anyone's dominance. Even housewarden, Leona.

Backstory: Shola was born in Sunrise city, not well off or too bad off. She lived a middle class life, with two... Not so loving parents.

There were fights often, and Shola had to witness them all, only able to shield her little brother from it the best she could.

Often, the abuse was aimed at her as well. Her father, a manticore fae, was really her only source of protection from her feral mother. Her peers weren't much better, often claiming she would eat them or poison them with her tail. She hated them with a passion because of this and grew to be a loner.

It wasn't fair she had to go through this, she knew. Which is why she'd jumped at the opportunity to go to NRC. Leaving her brother, she felt bad about doing, but she promised she'd go back every winter to see him.

Dorm: Savanaclaw

Best class: Animal linguistics

Club: Magical shift

Unique magic: "Wrath of the Manticore" - Allows user to create poisonous red mist. When inhaled, the victim's insides bleed due to the acidity of the poison. Symptoms involve seizures, internal bleeding, and immense pain.

Hey Feral, I'm sorry I haven't sent any asks for the past few monthes, my cat recently got euthanized. It was the on Sunday. I knew that she wasn't doing well..she was about 2 when I was born, making her 17 years old, which roughly translated, is about 78 or 79 human years, which is the average lifespan of an American woman, which she technically was, given that she was a female cat in America. She'd spent a while on this earth, and I think my mom knew that she wouldn't be here for much longer. She had kidney disease, and apparently she was showing symptoms of being in the last stage-she started walking funny, and she barely ate. The day before she died, she didn't eat at all. On Sunday, she stopped drinking. I remember thinking, before, that although she was dying, I'd be ready. That I had prepared myself. I knew this, but done part of me couldn't understand why she had to die. Death is what happens to other people, but I forgot that everyone is "other people", including my cat. But to me, she wasn't "other people", she was my cat. Her name was Ariol, and I've had her for my whole life. I remember when I was younger, she would sit on whatever book I was reading so that if pay attention to her instead. I wish I'd never pushed her off, but sometimes I did. I was too wrapped up in my own problems to realize when she started deteriorating. I pushed her away again and again, and that went on for years. She just wanted me to hold her, and I was too focused on unimportant things to care. I thought, then, that surely she could wait. She was my cat, my friend, and so she would be here forever. And then I realized that wasn't true. I looked over one day, and realized she couldn't see me. She had slowly been going blind, just like my other cat. It was only then that I started paying attention-that I remembered she, too, was mortal. I think it might've been too late. I don't think, near the end, that she even recognized me. I had faded away, and then she faded too. She would lie in bed all day, and cry when I started to leave. I don't know how long she did this before I started to notice. Maybe she spent years wondering why I no longer hugged her, treated her dearly, noticed her. If I could go back, I would not have forgotten her for so long. I would have loved her, known her, as I tried to do at the end. And now that cannot be rectified. Sorry for the emotional rant, I feel like a lot of people don't understand why I'm so upset over this.

Signed, engineer anon.

Sorry about your cat. And yeah, regretting shit like that hurts really bad, when there's nothing you can do about it now, other than knowing not to do that next time. Your cat didn't deserve that, but she taught you to not take any cat after her for granted.

kevin: the last time i went to an urgent care clinic, i checked off 'excessive crying' on the symptom list, and then the nurse got really confused and said that was meant for babies.

aaron: really? they never say anything to me when i check it off

neil: it’s because you have the average height of a 10 year old.

aaron: you can’t say anything. you’re only 2 7/8 inches taller than me, and you act like a feral cat.

kevin, leaving the room: yeah, and i’m depressed

Whump prompt #5

Cat/Neko whumpees

[tw: nsfw(not a lot, anxiety and OCD(kinda), a bit of self harm]

I guess you could try and make some changes for dogs, but this mostly for cats.

Whumpee having very thin teeth and fangs, almost vampire like, so they are often gagged or muzzled. Which messes up their teeth and jaw and now the fangs are hurting the tongue and inner cheeks.

Whumper clipping whumpee's claws and whumpee feeling their toes and the point of their fingers weird and uncomfortable.

For the more feral whumpees, they keep trying to scratch things (or even themselves) and get frustrated and angry at the fact they are physicaly not able to.

Whumpee getting declawed, just straight up surgery to remove claws. It's painful and the feeling after is distracting and it never really stops hurting.

Whumpee cries and screams for days, trying to force them out, touching the tip of the fingers and only feeling the stitches.

Declawed whumpee foucusing on other Neko's fingers and claws... They feel like they forgot what claws really looked like...

They lost their usual balance without the claws, so they feel like they are walking weirdly and trying to adapt to the lack of balance.

Grabbing things suddenly feels icky for no reason.

Whumper making whumpee use the litter box instead of an actual bathroom.

Whumper holding them by their tail or even tying them to places by the tail.

H e a t

Their body is warm and hard to control, the tail is wagging and twisting like crazy. The lower parts are constantly hard to the point that it hurts and they are too "drunk" to do something about it except rub against things.

Caretaker doesn't want to take advantage of the situation and tries to keep a distance, but whumpee seems soo desperate and in pain...

Whumpee gets very feral lol

Oh there is also an important fact:

Cats vomiting hairballs is somewhat normal, when done during the change of seasons or in a gap between about 2-3 months if I'm not mistaken (don't take my word for it exactly, but it's not supposed to be constant).

If a cat does that constantly it might mean the cat is over cleaning itself, which is most likely a symptom of anxiety.

So imagine that:

For a more feral whumpee: their are constantly coughing up hairballs and caretaker doesn't know what to do.

Whimper never cared, for them it is just what cats do, whatever.

Caretaker tries to bathe whumpee more frequently, wondering why do they feel dirty all the time.

And finally, caretaker suddenly noticing whumpee only licks themselves when he isn't around or paying direct attention for a long time.

Caretaker keeping track of when whumpee starts with the licking and telling them "you're doing it again.", "It's ok, I'm here with you", etc...

And if you want to go more for a neko, or generally less feral just have:

whumpee constantly bathing or just washing their hands, or even getting themselves slightly dirty just to entertain themselves cleaning it.

Or for a more direct request for attention, whumpee asking caretaker to clean everything in them constantly.

And that's it :3
