it's shedding season
#and narinder is full of fleas#earlier this morning i discovered a clump of cat hair in my food#not just a single strand. an entire damn clump#i tolerate hair garnish but i had to throw that entire bite away#btw narinder only passed the food. he can't cook for shit#drawing narinder like the scraggly street dog he is#cult of the lamb#cult of the lamb fanart#cotl lamb#narinder#my shit#and yes the bone tail is intentional. i think it's funny.

Fun times from the Fifth Blight!
#the second pic especially is a compilation of a rough comic outline I made#in which the party has a discussion on the semantics of 'tits' and whether men have them#maybe someday if the dragon age flea bites me again. it will be finished#nothing gives me greater joy than these stens#dragon age#fanart#dragon age origins#da:o#sten#alistair theirin#zevran arainai#and assorted other members of the party#mostly sten.#(and my older warden cursed to chaperone four college students)#mat seeing sten in the cage after weeks of wandering through the wilderness with Morrigan and Ali bickering the whole way: oh thank Andrast#spiral sketches

Nanaki, snuggling up next to another party member on a bed at an inn: Night night, sleep tight, don't let the fleas bite. Nanaki: Because I do have them.
Nanaki: And they do bite.
#and then whoever was in the bed with him leaves#and Nanaki goes “heh nice” while the fleas bite him#ffvii#ffvii rebirth#ff7#ff7 nanaki#red xiii

genuine question for fellow cat owners, what's your guaranteed method of getting rid of fleas. all of my three cats are literally scratching off skin at this point
#im allergic to flea bites as well#anything helps#ive bathed them in dawn#ive sprayed dawn#and ive sprayed all non toxic flea killers i could find#this happens at least once a year and its driving me fucking insane#i didn't even know fleas could bite humans but here tf we are#i didn't even know you could be allergic to flea bites#like wtf#this is like the 5th fucking year

beach experience summer 2023
#soap tries art#animals#ocean#beach#showcasing the friends i found on the beach a few days ago :)#top ten places that cure every mental issue i have 😁#a friend showed me the coquina clams and sand fleas (aka mole crabs not the ones that bite) and we had some good fun watching them burrow#in mini tidal pools we made#water was unfortunately warm. which makes me worried for the corals since hearing about the current coral bleaching. man

i was right :((
#this sucks actually#basically ive been getting bug bites#from some mystery bug im allergic to#and based on a few things i assumed it was fleas#why else did it keep biting me? it had to have some benefit & i know im not allergic to mosquitoes#+ i knew it couldnt really get to me under my covers#i knew it was small bc the amount of bites increased but i never spotten anything#so fleas#BUT my parent apparently checked my cat for fleas whilst i was at school and found nothing#shes not very likely to get fleas bc she doesnt really get a chance to#she barely interacts with the others bc we have to keep her separate#if we dont one of our cats keeps fighting her#and she hasnt gone into the garden once#i change clothes after getting home usually so its not very likely she got them from those#anyway all this means shes been suffering for a good bit and i didnt figure it out#i did notice something was off#she kept trying to eat a poisonous plant and got really bothersome with it#but i also got that one really recently so i thought it might just be the plant#mine#cats <3#it has to be fleas or some type of mite on my cat

How would a thunderclan cat go about caring for leeches? I imagine it would be harder for them than Shadowclan cats since I imagine things aren’t quite as like.. damp in thunderclan. I love leeches pls give me the husbandry lore 🥺
I'm taken aback at how many people want the leech lore, I did not expect this much love for Spotty's girls. But, ok!
For one, they are medicinal leeches. Hirudo medicinalis. This species is actually threatened in England, specifically because it's so rare for livestock to drink from lakes these days. So these wild leech specimens are actually found in ShadowClan territory, and they heavily rely on Clan cats!
They also do prey on the occasional boar, fox, or badger that wades through the mud. ShadowClan loves leeches, they think they are useful as medicine AND as snacks, leading to a symbiotic relationship.
(sadly this means that the expansion of the highway and the loss of the Clan cats massively disrupted the leech population. There are probably conservationists who discover too late that there were medical leeches surviving in this area and despair over how they could have saved the White Hart woods.)
Anyway, keeping leeches is easiest for ShadowClan of course, but ThunderClan can do it with some effort. Spotty has a two-part terracotta bowl (a dish and a lid) which helps keep them cool, even in summer, and she stores them in the darkest part of her den. At the bottom of this bowl is mud, wet leaves, swampy substrate.
It's not hard to feed them with worms or insects, but they have so many elders with joint pain that there's enough food to go around. Spotty also really doesn't mind just letting them nibble her arm; leech bites aren't painful or anything.
The hardest part is getting pond water when she needs to clean the bowl. You want water that's full of good bacteria that can support fish, not just any old ditchwater.
Before Yellowfang's exile, she would ask for ShadowClan pond water and usually be granted permission with an escort. Brokenstar didn't see a need to make a hard embargo with ThunderClan when he was so focused on eradicating WindClan first.
Yellowfang has a lot more knowledge about caring for leeches though. Because she can't access pondwater, she ran some experiments with the lesser-leeches (the ones that weren't Spotty's beloved 3), and found she can clean the bowl slowly using river water, but doing it all at once could shock the leeches.
But, it's not very hard. Harder than keeping mealworms, but leeches are an easy animal to keep. They're also really cute, like fat worms, with nice patterns.
#Most people think leeches are MURDER WORMS but they're actually more like#Kissy grubs#Also apparently when you grill them they crunch#I saw a video of someone eating them once and they just crunched through like a nugget after they'd been cooked#The most alarming thing about them is that they have an anticoagulant in their bite#So their bites bleed a lot#But they were used in medicine for a reason#That anticoagulant and anesthetic is super super helpful for joint pain and inflammation#such as arthritis#leeches#tw leeches#parasites#tw parasites#Bonefall Spottedleaf#They also just drop off on their own when they're full#Once you get over the shock of 'I am literally being eaten by a slug' it's not a huge deal#They aren't like ticks or fleas that bite. Itch. Multiply. And spread disease and sickness#They're just funky little fat dudes#Another misconception is that they have a big row of circle teeth like a saw. No lol that's a lamprey#You are being shown a lamprey because someone wants to scare you#You can't even SEE leech teeth they're so fine#They make a perfect little triangle cut and that's it. Like the mercedes car symbol
