while yes all pigeons in the us are domesticated and there is nothing legally wrong with taking a pigeon off the street to keep as a pet, please keep in mind that you could be taking it away from it’s partner or babies :(

if you are serious about keeping a pigeon, i strongly suggest looking into rescues because there are always always pigeons in need of homes!

Hello! I absolutely adore Better Bones despite never reading beyond the first series of Warrior Cats. Last time I checked canon, Bramblestar was a kit that nearly died in a fire. So your canon is canon to me and it’s probably better that way.

I do have a question though. How big do your cats think the world is? The meaningful size of their world is from the Lake to the Forest to the Ocean, but I keep thinking of how medieval peasants sometimes had their whole lives uprooted for a crusade thousands of miles away, and wondering what Clan Cats think the real edges are. Do they see Ireland and France as mythical, far off lands filled with fairytale creatures? Do they know that anything exists beyond the oceans at all? The other side of possibility is that kittypets have given them some concept of human geography, and the cats can tell stories about a land further south than a cat could walk in a lifetime, where the stars are unrecognizable and the very moon is upside down.

Have fun with your worldbuilding!

Clan cats believe that the sky, earth, ground, and aquifers below are actually one big mobius strip, and that existence repeats from top-to-bottom. Water that soaks to the bottom ends up in the sky just as steam rises up to it.

Moles dig down so far that their pelts become gently touched by StarClan, and that's why they're so soft without shine.

The world in a horizontal sense is less important, they don't talk to kittypets very much, not enough for cultural diffusion to take place in regards to human geography. They are blissfully unaware of London, let alone anything beyond the coast of Albion.

The closest anyone's really come to learning more was Heartstar, when she was on her Dovewing Quest, seeing trains and a singing cat. She decided that this was not anything she needed to know about.

SO when they see something like the sea, they believe it's a really big lake. Airplanes are probably birds flying far away. Clan cats believe that StarClan is the greatest force in the world, so surely, wherever they choose for the cats to live must be the most beautiful of all. They're a pretty self-absorbed bunch, but more than that, culturally discourage "wandering" cats!

Depending on where they are exactly (this is why Albion isn't exactly the isle of Great Britain and it's been renamed, I'm shuffling some geography) they may also be able to see part of Wales, Ireland, or the Isle of Man from where they usually collect salt. Which just leads to them believing the ocean is just a big, salty lake, given time.

I love how much More daniel is when it comes to courting sean. cassidy shows off with music and finn shows off with knives and daniel shows off with godlike displays of telekinesis. cassidy and finn are trying to mark sean with haircuts and tattoos and daniel tears a whole fucking eye out. clearly the mvp of Passionate Extremes at camp weed.

The ask box will be open from 9 am EST to 10 pm EST; I don't want it flooding when I'm asleep. Once all the slots are filled, I will be closing the ask box until I'm done all of the requests; I will also be editing this post with [Closed] in the title.

Please include if you would like it to be platonic or romantic. Also, include if you want fluff or not; they should be fluffy but I can't guarantee it.

The Cottage by the Sea

A flower garden in the front. The shudders weathered by the salty air. A shed in the backyard contains some paddles and a tandem bicycle with a wicker basket. An idyllic scene, for a relaxing getaway. Your very own cottage by the sea.

16/11/2024-Roe Deer, Great White Egret which I got amazing views of including seeing it defecate and a Grey Heron chase it off, trees and view with nice autumnal colour on some great time at Testwood Lakes this afternoon.

Other bird highlights were Teal, Wigeon, Shoveler, Tufted Duck, Egyptian and lots of Greylag and Canada Geese, mesmerising scenes of Lapwings filling the air, Little Egret, Raven, cheery Stonechats, Stock Dove, Ring-necked Parakeets seen and heard so well, Robin, Goldfinch and Wren with Cetti's Warbler heard. Marsh thistle and red campion in flower made nice floral surprises with oxtongue, bramble flower, dock and hazel catkins enjoyed too. Primrose leaves, cleavers and ferns were also nice to see. I also enjoyed seeing a snail and it was good to see Redshank, Cormorant, Little Egret, Little Grebe and mustard on a quick look on the bridge at Redbridge Flyover over into Lower Test on the way back and Goldfinch, petunia, fuchsia and groundsel good to see at home today.
