[gourdlycatgen]

The outcasted traveling loner named Elder is a grey afab cis cat with a sokoke tabby coat and high white spotting. The pronouns this cat uses are none. This cat has long, scraggly fur and pale green eyes. This cat loves tracking, and loves talking. The cat is open-minded and egotistic. The cat twists your words. This cat has moderate scarring and a cobby body. This cat will die young.

my dad keeps being like vincent is getting fat you need to put him on a diet. like no he is literally just incredibly ripped and covered in beautiful lush fur 😭

Looking at everyone's coat colors, do you use the full genetics mod? If so that's so cool!! I haven't seen anyone make a clangen blog with one yet that I know of..

i do use the full genetics mod! it's my favorite mod as a cat genetics nerd. i love this mod because it also gives cat heights and body types. for example, cats like heatherstar and falconshine are "intermediate" body type, which is like a normal cat. sootface, cinderbone, and flametail are oriental cats, and briarfeather and eggdust are cobby cats! though you can't really tell by looking at their sprites. i think it's a fun way to make them all super unique when drawing them!

EDIT: oops, spoiler for hopepaw's warrior name. i'm working on the update right now LOL

[beaudesoleil]

Hello! Ur art is ABSOLUTELY awesome! (Tastes like slurpee) Any tips on drawing cats? Like anatomy and style and stuff?? TYSM

thank you, i feel very honored! as far as tips go.....i'm not too good on sharing tips BUT i'll try ^^ idk how much they will help but i'm pretty sure they will give you a good understanding! (APOLOGIES IF I MADE ANY MISTAKES I WROTE THIS AT LIKE 5 IN THE MORNING sob)

starting on the face/head here. the head of a cat is relatively small compared to its body. it's mainly angled and dome-shaped (that depends on breed). the length also varies. for now i'll be sticking with the three generic head shapes for times' sake

if it's a foreign or oriental-type cat (eg; crowfeather), the head is longer and wedge-shaped, slopes downwards and has less pronounced cheeks. the ears are larger and pointier as well

if it's a standard-type cat (eg; bluestar), then the head is broad and medium-sized with well-developed cheeks, and the ears are average-sized and more curved

if it's a cobby-type cat (eg; yellowfang), then the head is wider and significantly shorter with protruding cheeks, and the ears are smaller and more like little nubs

now onto the body, limbs and tail...most cats share the same body shape, that being a lean, powerful body with a long tail and well-built semi-muscular limbs. some cats do stray from this stereostypical shape and either have slimmer bodies, shorter tails and shorter legs but those will be shared for another time

the torso of the body is long and well-set, not extremely thin and vasiform. the boning of the torso (and the body in general) is dense and able to support the cat's weight. it can either be wiry, average or stocky. the coat/pelt of the body can vary, ranging from short to long, and so does the patterns, ranging from striped, spotted, tortoiseshell/calico, rosettes and sometimes even with none at all.

the limbs are sturdy and muscular (which is seen more prominently in male cats) and usually sport medium to large paws with (obviously) retractable claws and prominent knuckles. the hind legs are naturally way longer than the front, so most cats mainly walk with their rear raised and their tail drooping and hanging there

the tail is thick and long, ending in a rounded tip. some cats have longer, winding tails (eg; tallstar) or short, stubby tails (eg; stumpytail) but again this is solely depending on breed. not much to say on tails tbh it's fairly easy

lots of people struggle on accurately capturing the looks and appearance of a cat, so if you still are even after the guide i suggest you look at references on google, visit the MESSYBEAST website (thats where i get most of my cat anatomy slop from) or take inspiration from wayne mcloughlin and owen richardson, two artists (one former, since wayne passed in 2015) that work on the warriors covers.

i hope this little guide helps with generic cat anatomy and how their bodies function externally! maybe i will make a part 2 on styles but who knows....maybe? maybe not? depends on my mood tbh ^^

Is it me, or do domestic shorthair have a more defined "type" to them.

Technically, I know they are not a breed or even a mix and actually "randombred" is a better term. Also they can have unpredictable genetics due to unknown family history.

But, I seem to see they look very similar. Never really gaining a weird mutation very often to make them distinct, like fold ears or brachycephaly. With the exception of some land race breeds of course like Manx. Almost everyone I see looks the same, with only tiny variation. Unlike say, randonbred rabbits.

Wasn't the British shorthair more like domestics back in the day? Before persian genes made them more cobby and mildly brachycephalic. Also the American shorthair used to be too (but not persian influenced).

I know European shorthairs and Arabian maus were domestics before following a fixed trait breeding program and becoming breeds.

So yeah, I don't really know how random the traits are in specific areas. Colours yes, coats length too. But certainly not head or body type. I would expect a lot more. Unless those traits are rare outside breeds???

It's not just me that's noticed this, is it?

Honestly i think my cat genetics knowledge becomes regrettably lacking after colors and patterns.

But what i think is going on is that randombred cats are on fully continous scale, so the differences pale out. It's not like there's only a type A and a type B - every possible variation between them exists too.

For example i'd say our previous and our current cats got rather different profiles, look:

Neither is an extreme type, but Trapiti had a noticably longer muzzle and less concave profile. But also yeah, i could see this called 'pretty uniform', i'm probably just used to cats and their more subtle differences in built lol.

my cat cinder has a short very blocky torso (my mom falls it a ‘cobby’ body????) and a crooked tail and a little head with little eyes…… she’s so silly-looking and i love her😭😭😭

The Cordillera

Mountain Goat and Snow Leopard hybrid.

Small and stocky in stature, by no means large kattii.

Very stocky, very cobby bodies. Fur is very dense and long, particularly around vital organs and on the tail,

They reside over the mountains, in an area none can find.

Long tails provide balance when jumping, and warmth when sleeping or wrapped around paws.

Extremely streamlined face, with fur tufts to guide water flow.

Fur between toes and on paw pads. Hind hooves are similar to Mountain Goat hooves, wherein they are very flexible and can spread to gain a better grip on rocky slopes.

Stubby horns protect them in fights, though they have become largely vestigial recently.

Small ears and small frames condense heat and provide fewer opportunities for heat loss.

Desirable traits:

Speed and agility. Being fast and able to maintain agility and strength high up on the peaks is both important and incredibly attractive to the Cordillera

Mottled and blotched grey cats, but particularly classic tabbies, are considered very beautiful because of the intricacies of their pelts and how they match the intricate landscape. A very attractive Cordillera could lie very still on a slope and not be noticed.

Warm undertones and sides are very pretty, as they add depth to a pelt.

[roseate-felidae]

@amber-tortoiseshell I was thinking that myself. It's most likely a domestic shorthair.

The head needs to very rounded, a short (mild brachycephalic) muzzle, and cobby body are just some of the trademarks of the British shorthair.

The colour self blue is not that uncommon in domestic shorthairs, and with only 1-3% of all cats being pedigree (true mixbreeds rarer than that), she's likely to not have any in her ancestry either (instead being randombred).

This is a good example of a British shorthair. Note their wide rounded head, mild brachycephally, cobby body and short thick legs. Even its dense plush fur.

This cat and photo belongs to L. Remizova [Jetstone cattery]

But she's a cat, so she would most likely run the British museum artefact thievery anyway XD

Exotic Shorthair

(エキゾチックショートヘア)

A flat nose and a frown. The Exotic Shorthair, with its irresistibly cute but ugly face, has become increasingly popular in recent years. It was born from a desire for a low-maintenance Persian cat, and is a sort of short-haired version of the Persian, but in 1966 it was officially recognized as a cat breed in its own right. Let's find out the secret behind the popularity of the Exotic Shorthair, with its charmingly cute but ugly face that you can look at for hours.

Size: Exotic Shorthairs are 60-75cm long, weigh 3-6kg, and have short legs and a stocky build. They are classified as a large cobby type. Another characteristic is their thick, short tail.

Although their round head and thick, short legs give the impression that they are round, they actually have a muscular, sturdy body.

Personality: Exotic Shorthairs are known for being calm, loving companions that enjoy lounging around the house and spending time with their human family members.

since this got reblogged a few times i realized i forgot to introduce you!

his name is napoleon sweet william solo. napoleon solo for the man from uncle character (we also have illya purryakin) and sweet william was the name the rescue gave him. he is the literal definition of “not fat just big boned” as he has a stout cobby body with short yet horrifyingly powerful limbs and a little tiny round head and huge gormless blue eyes and the shortest thickest tail in the world. he is SO STRONG he once, using the vet’s word here, “suplexed” out of a veterinary cone while still very groggy sfter after an abscess surgery. he does not meow at all, save for totally unpredictable occasions, most of which happen when he’s in a different room for us. he does, however, have a huge and expressive collection of grunts, heavy sighs, and tiny “pblll” sounds that he uses constantly.

he had a polyp in his nose as a kitten which has led to him having lifelong sniffles and the occasional runny nose, which means if he’s sniffing you it sounds like a perverted old man trying to creep on you. he also sneezes penny sized solid boogers all over the place. he is one of those boy cats who still humps despite being neutered, and he is VERY insistent about it with his freakish strong little arms and he will grab your arm and hold on and then totally fail to do anything resembling the, uh, correct procedure until he’s done and then he’ll just lie on you until he’s sick of you (typical man am i right.)

he is also so incredibly loving, and sweet, and all he wants is to be brushed (he would let you brush him until he went bald) and petted and cuddled and when you’re holding him he insists that you cradle him infant style by bodily turning himself around and flinging himself backwards into your elbow trust-fall style. he adores other cats and never starts fights and is the most go along get along cat i’ve ever met. if @snowlikeash does not correctly greet him when she gets home by lying flat on the bed so he can clamber up to her face to bunt her forehead he will sulk and attack her hands. he loves to wrestle with a forearm and god it hurts but he just wants to play wrestle SO BAD. he’s incredibly friendly and curious with strangers and will walk right up to you very importantly to insist you also pet him. he is so, so, so dumb. cannot emphasize enough how little there is in his tiny brain.

his nicknames are napo, 나바보 (“nababo” where babo is the korean word for stupid), nibble, nab, napololo sololo, “The Man,” nibnab, nipple, HUGE MAN!!!, and various permutations. here are more pictures including the incredible ones the rescue took:

he is everything to me

unrelated to anything but my immediate experience:

that feeling when you have a close and trusting bond with a cat, and you lay your hand on them, and you see that little body’s first natural reaction (alarm, in case of danger) disappear in the half heartbeat it takes for them to recognize your touch and smell, and then the ears shift and relax and sometimes the tail comes up a bit and the startle-tension in them is completely gone, and they turn and look at you with eyes half lidded and whiskers pointing out, and then you keep petting them, and their eyes close as they give up every single instinct and tool nature gave them to stay safe as a small thing in a large world, because it’s YOUR hand, and the two of you are safe together.

he gives me that gift every damn time and sometimes i’m just a little overwhelmed by everything that’s had to happen to bring us together in this moment, both on personal and evolutionary levels. how incredible that we’ve met each other, and told each other, without any shared language other than a lack of active harm, that we’re safe together.

If you could design your own dog breed, what qualities would you want it to have? Temperament, what job it's designed for, looks, etc

I'm pretty sure I'm just going to describe a JRT But Slightly Different lmao maybe a jack/dobe.

It also really depends on the usage. I got my dogs for very different reasons, and they all fit those reasons very well. But I'll try to describe the best all-rounder I guess.

Heavy heavy heavy terrier influence. The more terrier-y the better when it comes to aesthetic. I'm talking short (but hard), broken (probably the ideal tbh), or wire coat, blunt wedge head, perk or button ears, stiff upright tail that can be long or short, compact but not cat feet and tight dewclaws, single-coated, it's okay if the tail curls over the back a bit but it should be upright, not snapped to the spine like a pug or a chow. Square or slightly longer than tall. Moderate angles front and back. Thinking more of the cobby, barrel-shaped body than the sighthound-esque of the doberman, since speed is less a factor and it's more endurance.

3 sizes- small/medium/large. Because sometimes I want a big dog and sometimes I want a little dog. Large is not excessively so- maybe about 60lbs or so. Like, bull terrier for the large size. Smalls can be 10-15lbs, wouldn't personally go lower than that.

100% terrier attitude and gameness. Ready to take on the world and leave no prisoners. Fae once tried to chase a coyote off my property, my grandfathers' JRTs often successfully treed bears- that's the type of courage and attitude I'd prize heavily. Controllable around other dogs but we don't have to be friends, aloof and discerning with humans. Moderate suspicion, you must earn their friendship. Willing to work with a human on things like obedience but you must earn that too. I don't know that I'd want them to be quite a personal protection dog or even up to the level of military/police, but for sure a dog that would bark at an intruder and has enough forward aggression to make someone think twice about trying their luck. I really liked the quiet confidence of Creed and many other dobermans I know, that silently wait at the door to see who it is before choosing to let them in or not. But also not an uncontrollable monster it's a pain to take anywhere- I go everywhere with my dogs, so my dogs must be trustworthy everywhere too. Prey drive is totally fine but capable of living with cats and small dogs if training is put into them. Small prey species? Well... good luck.

The littles would likely be ratters and small game hunters as well as active pets for those who want a small dog. The mediums and larges fine as big game hunters and active pets for those who want a bigger dog. Should be fun sport dogs but maybe not podium dogs, I've never cared about podiums. Definitely a "needs a job" dog but not excessively- the more I learn about dogs the more I consider certain problematic behaviors we excuse as "drive" and "energy" as just expressions of nerves and anxiety. A stable dog above all else should be adaptable to its environment, provided it has the tools and training it needs to do so.
