#How do you take care of hairless cats?

[petcatandkitten]

How ought your hairless cat to be groomed?

Hairless cats are among the cutest felines. They can be quite devoted, but they also require a lot of upkeep. Since hairless cats have black fur to shield them from the weather, taking care of them can be somewhat labor-intensive. Here is some hairless cat care advice if you're considering acquiring a sphynx cat, so you're ready to welcome this lovable species into your home. Read Here...

who was gon tell me shionbu was afraid of fluffy animals

# gyomei ! ☆

You start to wonder if your cat may love GYOMEI more than it loves you. Gyomei was simply excited once you told him about your cat, but he wasn’t expecting to get attached to quickly. He’ll always try to make time in his day to take care of your cat, feeding it, bathing it, playing with it. Gyomei always makes the effort to bond with it. It’s not often you come home to see gyomei asleep with your cat lying right beside him.

# sanemi ! ☆

SANEMI trys to pretend that he doesn’t like your dog. When you first tell him about your dog his whole attitude doesn’t change and he really just puts on the persona like he doesn’t care. You know he just putting up a facade though, and he isn’t the best at hiding it. Especially when you found him sitting on the porch while trying to teach it new tricks by bribing it with treats.

# obanai ! ☆

He has kabumaru so OBANAI is prepared to take care of your pet, until he realizes you own a rabbit. It's not like he doesn't like it, in fact he thinks its quite cute if he was being honest. Its just that kabumaru doesn't really get along well with your rabbit, is what he says after kabumaru tried to eat your rabbit. Now you have ban obanai from pet sitting if kabumaru was with him.

# giyu ! ☆

GIYU is oddly similar to your pet cat. It's almost uncanny when you take in their similarities which is why you weren't surprised how much they got along when you introduced him to your cat. Your cat will linger around him when he stops by and will generally just spend all his time lazing about as giyu just accepts it and lets it due as it pleases.

# mitsuri ! ☆

When you tell MITSURI that you own a rabbit, she nearly destroys your eardrums with how loud she squealed. She fawns over it like it's her own child and does absolutely everything possible with it. Cooking? Your rabbit is reading the ingredients. Training? Your rabbit is cheering her on. Reading? your rabbit is in her lap fast asleep.

# muichiro ! ☆

MUICHIRO doesn't seem to question why you own a pet snake. Obanai has kabumaru, why couldn't you have one of your own. He likes to watch it slither around as he lets it hang on around his arm while he hangs out in your estate. Though, he has by accident let your snake out while uzui was visiting leading to it nearly eating his gym rats.

# kyojuro ! ☆

Not surprisingly, KYOJURO absolutely loves your dog. He always active with the dog. Many of the lower ranks have seen him walking your dog around the corps. Though, you do have to tell rengoku that your dog can't eat everything as he prepares to feed it a five star meal, that you happily took and ate ten minutes later.

# shinobu ! ☆

SHINOBU pulls a reverse sanemi as she tries to support your choice of getting a cat, but she refuses to see it. Your not sure why but shinobu absolutely shuts down any idea of seeing your cat in person. You can't grasp onto her fear of flufffy animal but you let it slide for now. The only time she does consider even taking a look is when you told her you got a hairless cat.

# uzui ! ☆

For some reason you let UZUI influence you in getting a pet, leading you to get a "flashy" pet parrot. He takes the parrot everywhere and always talks about how flamboyant it is and how much flashier it is compared to any other pet (he mainly says it just to spite obanai). Though you had to leave the parrot at your estate after you seen him let the parrot. fly around with his gym rats stapped onto its back.

Hello!

I was wondering if you can do a headcanon on any lackadaisy cat and how they would react to a hairless cat reader.

Thank you!

I did a handful of characters (romance, sorry if you wanted platonic) for this, so I suppose a bit more quantity over quality this time. Ideally, it's still relatively ok. If there's one that I miss and people want them, I'd be happy to do a part 2. Hope y'all enjoy!

Various(Lackadaisy) x HairlessCat!Reader

(Note:this has one of my personal headcanons that, similar to Stardew Valley players, Ivy just collects people, learns everything about them and moves on.)

Mordecai Heller

• Mordecai is a very analytical tomcat, and you being without fur is certainly... analyzed.

• You're just a regular at the Marigold who stands out to him for your appearance, and definitely no other reason.

• It's not because of the way the lighting makes your bared skin look heavenly, nor is it because of how easily he can see the way you blush around him.

• Yeah, he's in denial about it, that's for sure, but a gentle nudge in the right way and boom, he melts like butter on a hot pan for you.

• In private, of course. He has a reputation to maintain.

• Though, he definitely doesn't mind silently adoring you from across the Marigold.

• And if anyone so much as maliciously looks at you because you're different, well, Mordecai is very good at hiding both his feelings and the nondescript adult sized bags he "takes care of."

Rocky Rickaby

• Imagine if you will, being a god/goddess. People throw themselves at your feet, and want nothing more than to sing your praises until the end of days.

• That's how Rocky sees you.

• To Rocky, seeing you is like Romeo seeing Juliet. There isn't a better phrase to describe it than utter adoration.

• Unlike Mordecai though, Rocky's love for you is no secret.

• In fact, if you let him, he will go on for hours about how beautiful you are, building shrines to you with rhymes and prose, as well as painting you as heaven-sent bliss with the saccharine notes of his sweet symphonies.

• Yeah, there's no better way to put it, he's smitten.

• He also really likes the way it feels when you hug.

Ivy Pepper

• Ivy has a tendency to "collect" people.

• It's something she isn't super aware of, but it definitely affects your first couple of interactions.

• Ivy is totally entranced by you, and while at the beginning it's mostly just because of your lack of fur, it begins to become more and more about you as a person.

• She gets ahead of herself. A lot. And you definitely need to ground her sometimes.

• Yet despite it all Ivy genuinely adores, in a way that's not her finding interesting people, getting to know them, and then just moving on.

• It's not luck, by the way. Ivy genuinely loves you that much, because you are just that amazing.

Calvin "Freckle" McMurray

• On a more comedic note, Freckle is the one to make sure that all your needs are accounted for, even if it means being a bit overprepared.

• It's not that he's wilfully ignorant or dumb, he just needs a gentle reminder every once in awhile.

• The sunscreen and extra layers when it's cold out is very sweet of him though.

• Freckle's similar to Rocky in that he absolutely adores you, treating you like an angel sent from above, even if that is a bit sacrilegious.

• Unlike Rocky, he's not overtly affectionate, aside from packing things you may need because, well, no fur.

• Instead Freckle hangs off your every word, silently appreciating you. Just being in your company is just... amazing to him.

• Also, since he's usually worried about you being cold, you get the perfect excuse for cuddles too ;3.

Joel Miller/Tommy Miller x Reader where she finds an old Sphynx (hairless ugly thing lol, but so affectionate) cat and carries him in her hoodie to keep him warm. Joel wonders why she's being shifty/what she's hiding. And isn't impressed when she finally shows him.

-

This is super random but I would miss my adopted Sphynx sooo much if I was thrown into the last of us universe 🙈😭 he's too domesticated to live as a stray lol he wears clothes (even legwarmers 🤣) and sleeps in my bed or inside my hoodie all day 🤣

Hope you're well x

Can We Keep Him?

Summary: You find a Sphynx cat while traveling with Joel, who doesn't want it. Warnings: post-outbreak, not proofread bc my own cats kept me up last night and im tired, let me know if i missed anything! Notes: i. love. cats. thats it thats the note

You and Joel stumbled upon an abandoned gas station and strip mall while making your way to your next trading spot. You two decided to split up and raid the abandoned buildings so you wouldn't waste too much time. You went into the gas station while Joel looked through the other buildings. It was already pretty picked over, but every once in a while, you would find something useful or just interesting.

You were walking through the dirty isles when you heard a crunch from the back. You immediately turned around, but saw nothing. You grabbed your flashlight and pistol, readying them as you two slow steps towards the sound. Another crunch and a rustle come from the back. You got closer and closer, pausing for a moment before turning the corner to prepare yourself. You didn't want to deal with infected.

You quickly turned the corner and aimed your flashlight at the noise. Two blue eyes stared back at you as you lowered your gun and flashlight. A Sphynx cat was just munching on some random food that was left, and probably expired.

"Aw, hey little guy," you cooed, putting your pistol in your waistband and crouching down in front of the cat. You carefully stuck your hand out to him, letting him sniff at your hand before rubbing his head against your hand. You gave him some scratches on his wrinkly little head as he walked closer to you.

"Will you let me take you?" You asked him when he put his front paws on his knees. He meowed at you and you picked him up, standing up with him in your arms.

You carefully opened your hoodie up and he instantly hopped in, happy for the warmth. You giggled and he stuck his head out, licking your chin.

"You gotta hide, buddy. I don't know if Joel will like you," you said, gently pushed his head back down. You made sure he was comfortable, then left the gas station to regroup with Joel.

----

Joel knew something was off with you. As you two continued on your way, your arms stayed wrapped around your torso and you didn't take your hoodie off, no matter how hot you were getting. He tried to ignore it, but he couldn't. So, he stopped walking and turned to face you.

"What's going on?" He asked.

Your eyes widened and you quickly looked away from Joel. "Nothing, why?"

"You're acting weird."

"No, I'm not."

"Yes, you are."

"Joel, I'm not, okay?"

He stepped closer, his hands going to his hips. "You really wanna do this?"

You sighed and rolled your eyes. You opened your hoodie up and carefully took the Sphynx cat you found out, cradling him in your arms. Joel was, at first, shocked you were able to hide the little guy so easily, then disappointed. Of course you picked up a stray cat, a hairless, wrinkly one at that.

"Where did you find that?" Joel asked.

"The gas station," you replied. "He was just too cute to leave and he immediately started to love on me, so..."

"Okay, first, he is not that cute. Kinda ugly, to be honest. Second, why on earth did you pick up a stray cat? You don't know what kinda diseases he has."

"I don't care, and he is cute! Can we keep him? Please?"

"No," Joel answered sharply.

"C'mon, Joel. Can you really say no to this face?" You replied, holding the cat out to Joel.

"Yes, I can. He's not a cute cat."

"He is! Plus, where are we gonna leave him that's safe?" You added. "Please, Joel? Just until we find a better place for him?"

Joel took a deep breath and grumbled something as he ran a hand across his face.

"Fine. We can keep him, but when we find a good place to leave him, that's it," he said before turning and continuing on your path.

"Yes!" You cheered quietly as you quickly followed Joel. "Now, what should we call him?"

"Dear lord," Joel grumbled, already regretting letting you keep the cat.

Can you write the DMC men with a zookeeper reader?

It’s a very tiring and ridiculously demanding job but since she loved the animals so much, she’s willing to sleep at the zoo’s office to watch over them when one of the animals need overnight assistance

She tells her multiple experiences working with different animals and the ones that are (surprisingly) the easiest for her to work with are tigers, jaguars, snow leopards, cougars because even though they are predatory animal, they can be very affectionate and will spend time bonding after lots of attempts from her being respectful towards their boundaries, positive reinforcements ( ex: not biting her broom equals free treats ), no direct eye contact, using a soft tone like how a mother would talk to an infant, etc while not anthropomorphizing the relationship

But the animals that she’s very wary to work with, or if given opportunity, she will avoid working with them at all costs are surprisingly mostly the non-meat eaters like zebras, cassowaries (especially in their breeding season) and her biggest fear, chimpanzees…She told them how the zebra gets most zookeepers to be ended up in the ER because of how unpredictable they are, how a cassowary one time kicked at her shin with their jurassic pedicure resulting in her being off duty for nearly half a year before she can somewhat limp to work again. Finally, she tells them to ask all zookeepers “ what are the list of animals they prefer to not work with ?” If a zookeeper do not have chimps amongst their answers, they’re most likely have not worked with one (fortunately)

She tells them the one time she nearly got her arm ripped off because she carelessly decided to put her arm into their feeding space to retrieve their eating bowl, which unbeknownst to her, a chimp is hiding out of her sight, ready to tear her arm off had she put it in. She was scolded by her manager for that one but she’s glad that some senses had been knocked into her

(This is based off of an actual story btw)

At last, of all the animals, the ones she downright hated working with the most are definitely the hairless apes with nothing but an Iphone and a sense of entitlement. One time, at an old zoo she used to work, a mom tried to put her kid over the railing to get him a better sight of ( out of all the animals ) a Polar bear which resulted in the kid falling into the pool, right around its feeding time. All zoo staffs including her had to euthanize the poor bear to save the kid…Till this day, she still mourns over the bear and the amount of anger would surge through her every time someone mentions that woman and she would silently cuss at her because her negligence could’ve killed her kid and the bear as well

Yes, sure!

Sparda boys + V x Zookeeper!Reader headcannons

¤ Dante ¤

-You are a very caring animal lover and Dante thinks that's adorable.

-Your stories about what you do at the zoo are some of the most entertaining he ever heard, and serve to calm him down after a nightmare or too much alcohol.

-Would actually like to meet these animals that you are so fond of taking care of--given that most are felines and Dante is pretty much a fat lazy cat, they'll get along just fine.

-Wants you to be careful when dealing with those nasty chimps with their damn iphones. Hearing you almost lost your arm to one of them doesn't help matters much.

-Will visit you and drop off supplies for you if you decide to spend the night at the zoo office.

-Understands thar you miss that poor euthanized bear, but doesn't share your sentiments. How can he, anyway? He never knew the thing.

■ Vergil ■

-Vergil is not fond of animals, will tolerate them, but would never have the patience to care for them.

-You have earned his respect for being able to do something he never will.

-Will portal into your office whenever you decide to stay the night with all your overnight essentials packed in a rugsack.

-Enjoys heading your stories. As someone with little to no experience in animal care, he appreciates this knowledge.

-Does not want you to continue dealing with those barbaric chimpanzees for fear of further injury, but if you must, then he has no choice but to allow you to.

-Pats you on the shoulder to calm you down when you get upset over the deceased polar bear. While he will never understand why humans are so bothered by these sorts of things, he will do his best to comfort you.

□ Nero □

-Nero loves to watch you take care of the animals. You're so gentle and loving around them, like they're nothing more than household pets.

-He enjoys listening to you yammer on excitedly about all your experiences at the zoo, filling his ears with random factoids he'll never use.

-Hates that you spend nights at the zoo because come on, that can't be comfortable. Wouldn't you rather be cuddling with him in your nice, warm, fluffy bed?

-Then again, you're such a sweet soul who's kind to everything and everyone--you probably wouldn't even notice the discomfort.

-Understands that you're upset about that poor bear and is a little moved by its story, but just a little.

● V ●

-Being an animal lover himself with several familiars, V understands your commitment to the zoo animals.

-Indeed, they are magnificent creatures. If he wasn't afraid of being ripped to shreds, he would have petted some of them.

-Enjoys watching you work, though he can't stay for long because if he does, Shadow will claw at the enclosure walls, trying to get in to play with the other felines.

-Misses you when you have to stay the night at the zoo, but he knows your animals are important to you, so he says goodnight and greets you with a kiss when you come back in the morning.

-Likes listening to your stories, especially the ones about those mischievous chimps.

-Sympathizes with your feelings regarding that polar bear. Had the mother not been so neglectful, it wouldn't have had to die.

Worldbuilding and human kink? Is it my birthday /lh. This has me googling “halfling sex” and being a little surprise someone has thought about it enough to write a generously large paragraph.

Apparently it’s not uncommon for them to have more casual sex with close neighbors and friends indulging in it together. I genuinely think it would be hilarious for a halfling with a human, elf, drow, orc, dwarf, etc (the more uptight races) friend/neighbor to ‘seduce’ and then being very friendly and kind, but not exclusive or even inherently romantic.

Halflings 🤝 Humans

Being horny on main.

Oh my god imagine a poly relationship that's a human who thinks this is a casual friends with benfits deal, a halfing who thinks everyone here is just friends, and one high elf who acts as if they're robbing a bank whenever they watch the human go down on the halfing.

Add a dragonborn who is sweating over which one of those people is gonna end up as their mate for life, who isn't phased by the sex but it's the romance part that's considered a big taboo in their culture to even date someone for love, so imagine seeing more tha one person?

High elves being sex repressed 🤝 Dragonborns being romance repressed

Also I really love world building AAAAA i wanna invent shit and make shit up and shake it around like a snow globe. I believe elves went to the moon much sooner than humans with just magic, dwarves have found fallen space rocks and meteors and used them to forge their weapons, winged elves or any species who can fly already mapped the world and drew all the know maps before humans even learned how to tame horses.

Also the horses is funny, elves has seen them all their lives but never bothered to tame it because it feels weird yk? Why would they ride on an animal, plus their cousin is a centaur so it feels even more weird.

Then they see the humans coaxing the horses with carrots while holding a saddle behind their back, skip a few years and suddenly the horse population skyrockects as humans steal this one animal to their side.

Imagine being a wood elf and in harmony with all of nature, then glancing over at the human city and feeling very confused on what these weird wolves are and why do the humans call them dogs, also why are they obeying the humans and holy shit that one is wearing bowtie.

Occasionally humans just wander into the forest, spot an animal that seems semi useful then kidnap it back to their city, suddenly their population spikes and they're the new best friends of humanity.

It happened the other way with cats tho, the wood elves remember overhearing two cats talking about the hairless apes wandering around and how one was betting the other that they can get them to share their food by just screaming at them.

Humans probably inspired their cuisine based on halflings' recipes since they didn't add soul consuming spices for fun like elves and didn't sprinkle in literal gem and gold dust like dragonborns.

A human with a Halfling neighbour who comes over every other day to share their stew because "they accidentally made too much and can't possibly finish it all themselves so how about you grab a bowl or two, human?"

One day the human makes a joke about how they're a simp or going to horny jail, whatever modern shitposting meme is trending, and the halfling takes it seriously and offers to sleep with them.

I mean, that is basic neighbourly hospitality to them. Of course they will fuck their friend who is in need, you don't even have to ask twice, come here and lay down and they'll take care of you until satisfied.

Now their trips over to your house are twice as frequent, half to feed you their cooking, other half to sate your lust appetite.

RWBY: It's not a Cat

Winter: Is Blake here?

Jaune/Oscar: No.

Winter: All right listen umm, I just bought something I'm not sure she's gonna like it, and it's gonna seem a little crazy, but this is something that I wanted since I was a little girl.

Jaune: You bought Qrow Branwen!

Winter: Noo! I wish! *smiles* Okay, you ready?

Jaune/Oscar: Yeah!

Winter: Okay! *leaves and returns with a hairless cat* Check it out! *gleeful*

Jaune: *eyes wide* What-what is it?!

Oscar: *points* What the hell is that?!

Winter: It's- it's a cat.

Oscar: That is not a cat!

Winter: Yes it is!

Jaune: Why is it inside out?!

Winter: ...excuse me! But this is a purebred, show-quality Sphinx cat!

Jaune: How much did you pay for that?

Winter: Well, it was a little extravagant, but I a pretty good deal.

Jaune: Yeah? How much?

Winter: A thousand lien.

Jaune: *double take* ON A CAT?!

Oscar: It's not a cat!

Winter: All right listen ball boys! My grandfather had one of these when I was a little girl and it was the sweetest thing! I mean it was so cute, it would sit in my lap and purr all day long, and I would drag a shoestring on the ground and he would chase it!

Jaune: Free cats do that too, y'know.

Oscar: It's not a cat!

Winter: Ugh! Look you guys, I'm really excited about this! Okay? I don't care what you think! I'm gonna go set up a little litter box for Mrs. Whiskerson.

Jaune/Oscar: ...

Winter: Well, what am I gonna call her, luffy?!

I am having a terrible day, and you are amazing at Warriors hurt comfort. Do you have any comforty head canons or thoughts about Warriors you could share?

Oh no! I’m so sorry to hear that, I hope your day gets better 🫶🫶🫶 I do have a couple nice headcanons for Wars!!

- Someone else gave me this headcanon, but I firmly believe he knits. It helps him keep his mind busy and it gives him something to do with his hands. He doesn’t like to feel like he’s doing nothing, so he’ll knit things when he has the chance, and has made at least HALF of the group a sweater by now (and he’s working on sweater for the rest of them)

- He has two of those hairless cats and he knits them little sweaters and loves and cares for them so well they might as well be his biological children (he calls them his kids)

- He comes from a small village with a large family and while he hasn’t been able to go back and see them since the war, whenever he misses them he’ll make some of his mom’s old recipes to remind him of home

- You cannot convince me that Warriors doesn’t love the sound and smell of rain. I think whenever it storms he curls up with a nice cup of tea and a good book and takes a little nap (with his cats)

- He does the others haircuts for them, and he helped Wind learn how to manage his curls because Warriors’s hair is also naturally curly (he just straightens it)

- Whenever he’s having a bad day he’ll go sit by Twilight, because Twilight won’t ask too many questions and will him speak in his own time, and Twilight is just good company. The rancher also turns into Wolfie and lets Wars pet him, it’s soothing for both of them

- Mask drew him a bunch of drawings during the War of Eras, and he kept every single drawing, he keeps them in his journal which is in his bag

- He loves hugs (as long as he’s familiar with the person and they ask first), and Wind is the one who takes advantage of this the most

❥ Living with Zen Headcanons

we know that the fridge would change, and there'd be actual meals but consider also he still has his beers in there but also water and juices

hear me out ik he's extremely allergic but that's with the fur. we can pavlov him into being okay with cats and only respond to the furr.. we can reverse the past party's incident.

so, hairless cat. he might think it's weird at first but grows to like greeting it when he comes home after a long day

cuddles. so many cuddles and constant affection it's crazy

he'd make sure you have a skincare routine, constantly remind you to put on your bonnet, he'd watch videos on how to take care of your hair, and helps you with it

wash day?? he's there for you every step of the way and definitely gives you forehead kisses and comfort after brushing out knots/tangles/kinks.

he loves you, so much but he'll leave you alone if you're too annoyed with it

at some point he hears you singing, or sees you dancing and is entranced more.

would sing you a lullaby to sleep. actually would do anything for you

he probably gets those his and hers things and if you don't like it? it's out of the house. but if you do?? his heart soars every time y'all use those things. (mugs, towels, special wine glasses for date night

You know what, fuck you. *Makes your protagonists cats*

CatLine Rescue Center AU ramblings under the cut.

Taylor and T2 are orange cats since they have that vibe and they won't shut the fuck up. Originally thought about making them the black cats with that dialog from HTI but decided I like them as domestic, utterly unprepared for street life, cats. I have a couple of ideas as to how they ended up in the rescue center:

1. T2 is the original family cat, goes missing and is replaced by Taylor because no one tell the kids the cat got out. Eventually, Taylor also gets out and ends up in the rescue with T2.

2. T2 is from the same litter as Taylor, but they didn't get picked and ended up in the streets while Tay has all the comforts of indoor cats. Eventually someone accidentally lets Taylor outside and they meet T2, who hates their guts and decides to take their place (And ends up in the rescue because the family can Tell its Not Their Cat).

Arika and Rand are black cats. Come on, black cats and magic! teenage witches!!! And the image of a mangy feral Arika is too good to pass on.

For them, I think the siblings are from a literal warrior cats inspired colony of feral cats that lived in the outskirts of the city and was starting to make a heavy impact on the native population so a catch and rehome operation was dispatched. If you want to be cruel we can say Adults got culled and Arika and Rand were young enough to be rehabilitated. The point is that Rand got adopted and Arika didn't. So her whole deal is to find her little brother and go back to the streets (Until the rescue center snatches them again)

Alex is a barn cat or at least an indoor/outdoor cat that's being used to deal with pests. When i think of working cats I think of the Maine coons and that's what I was going for first, but then I thought about it more and decided to make him an american longhair.

He is old and should probably retire, but old habits die hard and its difficult to socialize him with other cats. Maybe his owner couldn't take care of him anymore after they moved to the city. He's was also not neutered in time so he developed the big cheeks male cats get as natural defense against attacks.

Wynn was always pictured in my mind as a person whose hair was shaved for the surgery in Flatline, so the logical option for me was to make her a sphynx cat. At least until I found out about another breed that is also hairless (but keeps the whiskers) called Donskoy. I really like the idea of a weird looking cat for them.

As for their plot, I am once again torn between keeping some aspects of the game, or just go for the slice of Life vibes. I have the idea of Wynn being a cat rescued from an unethical research facility, be it PWG or Pearson Corp that was not always a hairless Donskoy. (Some Donskoy have "babyfur" covering their bodies) but the treatments and whatever they were doing there caused their hair to fall.

V. Adams is not included because he is from Whiteout and Clearly A Dog. Sorry Adams.

how difficult is it taking care of a hairless cat? have you run into any unique challenges? i've never been around one but i've heard they're a bit more time intensive than your average cat, so i'm curious to hear from someone who's had one for a while now!

Not really, aside from the bathing needs. She functions much the same as the other cats and honestly doesn't even seem like she notices cold more than they do (I do keep my house fairly warm because of my exotics tho)

She does need regular bathing, and her bed needs regular washing because their skin secretions can get gross much faster than a furred cat.

But given my cats are indoor only I haven't noticed anything really amiss with her. The most I do different other than bathing is I swaddle her before placing her in a cat carrier and taking her outside so she doesn't get a sudden chill.

no idea if you're still accepting asks for the tmnt iteration ask game, but uh..

🧪 Where does the mutagen come from?

🧫 Were your turtles mutated intentionally or on accident?

😡 What is your villain’s motivation?

🐱 Do any of your characters have pets?

🧑‍🍳 Who is the best cook?

🫵 Who do you project onto the most?

🥊 Does Raph have anger issues? If so, how does Raph deal with his anger?

🧶 Does Raph knit?

🔥 Is Leo accident prone? Especially in the kitchen?

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Is April considered a sibling?

🎨 Is Mikey the artist of the family?

🔬 Is Donnie only interested in Tech?

- @asheronangel (a bit redundant to sign off if im not on anon but ehh)

im absolutely still accepting asks! I'm so glad you asked I love talking about my iteration !!

🧪the mutagen comes from a lab that had some unfortunate changess in management

🧫 they were mutated intentionally to learn more about mutants which already exist in this universe but avoid humans kinds like the Yokaii in rise they have their own separate space to live

😡shredders motivation is actually similar to the turtles, he was a human who worked at the lab same as Splinter who was mutated his daughters were mutated as well but they did not make it. he is not a bad man but he is blinded by anger and starts to go too far to destroy anyone involved including Splinter who was a head scientist at the lab

😺 venus does she has lots of cats that she takes in and cares for klunk being her first. splinter leo raph don and mikey have a family pet whos a 3 headed hairless cat they saved from the lab named muffin

🍳id say Mikey is the best cook along with splinter. Mikey teaches Raph how to cook because he doesn't wake up early enough

🫵 hmm i don't really know probably don and raph the most!

🥊yes she does .he is pretty good at handling it with breathing exercises punching bags meditating and talking it out with his siblings!

🧶raph does indeed knit she often just makes sweaters for herself whenever she has the time

🔥yes most definitely! they are not allowed near anything fragile and is very clumsy he is banned from skateboarding in the lair as well

🧑‍🤝‍🧑yep she is!

🎨mikey is not super great at art neither are his brothers but splinter likes to paint with watercolor from time to time.

🔬donnie is interested in a lot of other things mostly engineering and he loves plants and botany... although he's not great at keeping the plants alive so they usually end up with Mikey

Thanks for all the questions!!

Tragedy (Or how to stop the apocalypse)

Chapter 5/?

Word count: 1,901

Title: A girl and her demi-god

This had to be the craziest thing April has ever done in her life, after getting two more treats and leaving some money at the cash register. April was now leaving a trail, leading Vinz out towards the side of the store no one was at, and onto the streets. "All right, that's it. Just across the street." She murmured, once they reached the alleyway April felt a weight she didn't know was on her shoulders being lifted. "Okay... Oh my God." She leaned back against the brick wall, while Vinz looked back up. Waiting for more of those things she had that were very delicious. "Kay, maybe I should just move to a different country and change my name? But the whole Gozer thing would still be a problem." She complained, slowly sliding down the wall. "I thought if I was ever in a situation like this, it'd be like Sailor Moon. Not- Whatever this fricking is?!"

April noticed the familiar sulfur-like breath near her shoulder, she had almost forgotten about Vinz. At least he 𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘥 a little more friendly than Zuul was. With a sigh, she held the treat bag up. "Here, just finish them." And he did, by taking the entire bag in his mouth. "Hey, no, no! You don't eat the bag! Come on, really?!" April shouted, with a deep breath she braced herself for what came next. "Open your mouth." She uttered, met with little resistance from the beast... What were they exactly? "Ugh, why is it so warm?" April reached around for the item, not trying to think too much about how her arm could easily be swallowed should anything happen to her. Once she grabbed the bag, she pulled back with a shudder with a disgusted expression. "Augh, that was the grossest thing I've ever had to do."

"Alright, looks like at least most of the teachers I know from school are cultists. There's still that creepy room under the library, and whatever you're supposed to be. I've run into your friend twice- You know I really don't care, cause both of you are creepy as hell." April grumbled to herself, even if he seemed friendly those red eyes still made her feel uneasy. Then something crept in her mind, almost as if something was trying to communicate with her. "You're a little lost aren't you?"

"I guess you weren't here for very long last time." April reached her hand out, like one would when showing an animal they mean no harm. To her surprise, April watched as t̶h̶e̶ b̶e̶a̶s̶t̶ - Vinz pressed his head against her palm.

The unexpected happened twice that day for April Morris.

April's breath hitched, almost expecting to feel some type of hair. But it was a little similar to petting a hairless cat, another moment of silence followed before she spoke. "You're wondering where she is, huh?"

"I'll try to help, but we gotta go." April stood up as they began to walk back out of the alley.

...

Egon felt some kind of disturbance run up his spine, was it the universe's way of warning the danger of what's to come? Was there a ghost that somehow escaped the unit? No something much worse... Peck. The bureaucratic man walked in the firehouse, looking less than happy to be there. "Well, well, if it isn't our old friend Wally." Peter's tone dripped with its usual sarcasm, while Janine leads peck over. "You're not gonna believe this, we're under investigation. Go figure."

"That's right, I don't know what you lot are up to now, but just know that you're under the direct watch of the E.P.A."

"Oh yeah, who doesn't love EPA." Peter grinned, enjoying the various ideas he could get under Peck's skin. This was one of them. "This may be all fun and games to you, Dr. Venkman. But just know I haven't forgotten about last time when your so-called unit exploded and could have caused irreparable damage to not only the city but its surrounding environment as well. Peter just simply smirked, amused by the irony that they were still being blamed for the unit being shut down and exploding the roof off while Ray had to keep Egon at bay should the bespectacled man's temper get the better of him. "With all due respect-"

"Which is none." Egon interjected, before Ray smiled nervously and continued. "Heh, I understand your just doing your job. But we have a lot more important things to worry about than being investigated if I'm being honest."

"Like what?" Peck raised an eyebrow, skeptical and not entirely convinced that there even is an actual problem that not only effects the Ghostbusters but every single one of them.

Meanwhile in Brooklyn...

April awkwardly shifted her backpack in her lap, the gentle humming of the buses engine, a welcomed noise during the ride back home... It's a somewhat decent distraction from the fact she had an otherworldly beast or whatever Vinz really was. The size of a lion, but why did she feel compelled to use dog terms? Noticing the puzzled looks she was receiving, she nervously replied. "He's uh, mixed breed."

And to her surprise, no one had any questions or said anything. Then again it was New York, and there were already a lot of interesting people, and things that could happen in the concrete jungle. Once the bus stopped just a block away from her apartment, April's mind raced with what she should do now. She can't just waltz in and not expect her parents to freak out, (Maybe it'd be easier just to refer by name) but she couldn't just let Vinz roam free. Especially after having to stop him twice when he tried wandering into stores or delis, she could always get to the nearest payphone and call the Ghostbusters- and see Egon again. (She thought it not me) But she had the odd feeling that Vinz was searching for something... Or someone. "You're looking for someone, aren't you?" April asked, her tone softer than she intended to be. Vinz grunted in affirmation, he was looking for someone. The gatekeeper.

"Well, I would say that I can help. But don't think I don't know your game, boy. I ain't helping anyone if it involves ending the world, I'm rooting for the opposite."

April adjusted the strap over her shoulder, as they were getting closer to her block. "Besides, I wouldn't even tell you if I knew who you were looking for- Cause I obliviously don't know." That was a lie.

"𝘐'𝘮 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘭𝘺 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘶𝘢𝘥𝘦, 𝘩𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘨𝘪𝘳𝘭." April whipped her head over, stunned by the sudden voice coming from the creature. "What the- since when did you talk?!"

"𝘈𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴."

"... We're- we're gonna come back to that in a later." April stuttered, stepping up to the stoop before turning back to face Vinz. "Kay, you can come inside. But also my parents can't see you. So, you're gonna have to hide in my room or something."

Once inside and the short climb up to the second floor, April unlocks the door, thankful her parents aren't back yet. "Alright, I guess my home is yours for now." She hung her jacket up, so far so good- HISS! GROWL! April snapped her head over, witnessing the sight of her cat in a defensive position while Vinz does the same. "Woah! Okay, okay. Jenkins, it's alright boy." April scooped the calico up, feeling the hairs on his back puff-up as he growled. "It's a long story but, Jenkins, Vinz. Vinz, this is my cat Jenkins." April introduced the two before getting on to the point she wanted to make clear. "This is a pet, not foe or food." She tried setting the feline down, but poor Jenkins sensing the evilness ran off to April's room. "It'll take a bit for him to get used to you, but seriously don't eat him." This was such a fricking weird day, it couldn't get any worse right? She thought to herself. "I guess you've never really been around Brooklyn heights? Well this is an apartment, it's like a house except the neighbors live in the same building." April explained, trying not to panic as she saw a glimpse of Jenkins keeping his defensive pose up. What the hell was going on? She didn't really have anyone else to go to... "Grandma," She whispered, a hopeful glimmer in her eyes lit up before it dimmed. Her grandma had been dead for two years, but April recalls how her grandmother or Mee-maw as she used to call her was an avid believer in their being an afterlife of sorts, and even believed in the urban legends you'd hear around Louisiana. She had that box Mee-maw left her, she had always been her grandmother's favorite. Maybe it was time to actually see what was in it.

The door slid open, as April reached up to the top shelf in her closet. "You can come in if you want?" April announced, but for some odd reason it was almost as if an unseen presence was keeping Vinz at bay. April's curiosity increased upon opening the box. "What the..." She expected to find some old jewelry or anything that was for sentimental value. Which it was, but she also found small vials of different types of herbs and spices, sage, dried up flowers and a folded letter with the inscription, "𝘛𝘰 𝘮𝘺 𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘣𝘢𝘣𝘺, 𝘪'𝘷𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦'𝘴 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬. 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘱 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘵, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘢𝘭𝘴𝘰 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶. 𝘊𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘢𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘣𝘦 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘸𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘰'𝘭𝘭 𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘭𝘦𝘥𝘨𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮. 𝘚𝘰, 𝘣𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘣𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺 𝘶𝘯𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘢 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘳 𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘥."

"𝘓𝘰𝘷𝘦, 𝘔𝘦𝘦-𝘮𝘢𝘸."

April could practically hear her grandmother's voice speaking to her, she looked down at the box before looking at Vinz. "Was she a witch?" All of what her grandmother wrote made some sense, as her mind replayed the events from the week. And the vision she had. "Oh my God... I feel like my head is gonna explode." April covered her eyes with the crook of her arm, falling back in the mattress. She then heard a rumble sound coming from Vinz. "Oh my- Okay, uhhh. I allow you to enter, but you are to refrain from doing harm or something." April begrudgingly recited, not thinking that some random words won't do anything... They did. April shot up, noticing the large beast coming in. "Holy, frickin hell." Then she noticed the front door opening. "Oh! Kay, just stay here I'll be back okay bye." She went to go greet her mother, thankful for the close call.

Back at the store, the two clerks were trying to explain what they saw to the police and animal control. "This thing was a big as a fucking lion." Kylie explained, as the taller man, Josh nodded vigorously. "Y-yeah! And it had horns and these eyes that stared into your soul!"

Their encounter ended up being on the 8 o'clock news, catching Peter's attention. "Heya, does that dog their yapping about sound familiar?" The possibility dawned on the three Ghostbusters, and the worry grew more when the witnesses who were being questioned described a teenage girl being chased by the "rabid dog" Egon adjusted his glasses, before speaking in a serious tone.

"We need to find it, before things get out of hand."

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.

tell us more about valentine...... i love a sidestep

🫡🫡 can do ! ! ! so to get the basics out of the way - he's my fucked up little sidestep who is 30 years old and has never had his shit together . he leans more towards being stealthy , and tries to keep civilians safe . his kill count is Zero , but give him a gun and a person from the farm in front of him , and it will go up to One . if one does give him a gun , be warned he has horrible aim .

he is romancing ricardo ortega ! ! [feels weird writing ortega's first name im not on first name basis like how val is] , and his puppet is a woman named 'jane doe' [who im planning her own playthru ! where val is instead the puppet] . his villain name is puppetmaster and it makes me think that he's kinda like a theater kid . Sometimes .

he's like a whole contradiction in himself ; doesn't want to be a villain , is a villain , will be a villain , because he doesnt want to Stop being a villain . doesnt want friendships because he doesnt want to lose them again , yet does nothing to stop them from happening . he's atrocious at taking care of himself and can be very reckless , which is a bit of a mess for him to deal with as he's also just very anxious all the time . if you put him in the club he will have a panic attack . put him in bingo night instead . he is so very , truly , utterly tired all the time , and he is probably now very afraid of driving .

he's not one for labels on his sexuality [he himself still doesnt know . he just knows he likes loves ortega] , he's a trans man , he cuts his hair himself , and he really Really likes dinosaurs . he loves the museums , he really wants a hairless cat because he's allergic to fur , he's managed to kill a succulent before so he's banned himself from plants , and he is still so very haunted by the death of anathema . truthfully , he is just haunted in general / he's a scared cornered animal sometimes , at least that's what he feels like he is . he's very reactive , he tries not to be but it happens . he tries not to be angry he truly does . does trying work ? not all the time . it's getting worse to deal with but he swears he's managing . sometimes he feels like a walking corpse , or a sick rabbit .

he is currently my favorite oc , same with fallen hero being my favorite interest right now . more of him will probably come when im trying to sleep and he's rattling around in my brain , but thats him in a nutshell ! ! :D
