Sdv characters as cat breeds

Sebastian: long hair black cat (not a persian cat, his snout would stick out like the average cat) ( no breed in specific, but it's obvious hes a black cat)

Sam: a orange Maine coon, id say for long luxurious mane on the cat that could represent his mullet, and you know how orange cats be, they a little goofy. Maine coons are big cats but gentle giants, they look a little intimidating but they're so sweet and loving cats.

Shane: russian blue x British shorthair, they usually have an independent streak but are loyal to the people they care about for the British shorthair side but for the Russian blue side they're sensitive but intelligent and devoted. But like all cats, he can be feisty ( the Russian blue for the blue tent, you can never forget the blue color)

Harvey: a sphinx, the most hypoallergenic cat, highly intelligent and affectionate, just imagine a cat Harvey wearing a cat sweater in cold weather. Some will say they're ugly, but some think they're cute and goofy looking.

Elliott: a ragamuffin, for the long thick fur, they're friendly, affectionate, people oriented, and docile, orange fur of course for his hair color. Very gorgeous cats, and Elliott does seem like the type to care about his looks.

Alex: a Bengal cat, they're sweet and loving but are very active cats, they like to move a lot. High energy cats, with a constant need for activity.

Have fun with this one guys

I'll make a version of the bachelorettes later.

I love cats and sdv, i know both of these topics quite well

WHY IS THIS SWEETIE STILL HERE?!!!

This handsome man is Ross. He’s 5 years 8 months-old and sponsored by Amber Wells. SNAP Cats rescued Ross from Fresno, CA. Ross is the sweetest cat ever! He's SO friendly with people, and most other cats. Only exception are cats who get in his face. Then he’s not so nice. Just defending himself. No stalking or aggressive behavior. Ross will fit in beautifully with a family who either has other cats or not.

Please don't be afraid of FIV. It's nothing. Really. Slightly compromised immune system. That's it. Just like a FIV- cat, Ross will live a long, healthy life if you take good care of him.

BTW: Ross is a Cherubim. It’s a breed of Ragamuffin. Look it up.

If you’re interested in Ross please fill out an adoption application at https://www.snapcats.org/category/adoption/catsforadoption/. Thanks.

Hi! I got a question when it comes to getting a marine, which types work best around cats, and which ones should stay away at all costs

If it helps, I can describe my cat so you know what she’s like and what marines might get along with her! (Ooc: yes this is an excuse to talk about my cat)

Spayed female, a couple years old. Medium fur, fluffy, calico tabby with these pretty hazel eyes. Foster failure, no distinct breed but I can see traits from ragdoll/ragamuffin cats with the going limp thing, fur texture, and personality, and her mother had a lot of Abyssinian traits with the triangle face, rusty coloring, and ticked fur. Very sweet and snuggly, will occasionally bite.

Figured I’d check and see from the experts!

(Lol fair I get it)

Prey driven legions/chapters are out so no Night Lords or Space Wolves... depends on how much interaction you want your marine to have with your cat?

A lot then get a thousand son and watch as your cat becomes a temporary familiar also by the way the thousand son flesh crafted a familiar (not out of your cat mind you). You could go the Dark Angel route and have another cat in the house of avoiding you unless necessary.

Death Guard and World Eaters might not be good, for cat getting sick and there might be a hissing contest.

I think it all depends on the marine in question just like any cat depends on its own unique personality.

[mamadarama]

Kuro and Madara both seem like maine coons but Madara(and also Leo ) also give me calico vibes. Kuro also fits the norwegian forest cat.

Himeru is one of those freaky ass lanky oriental cats or a russian blue

Adonis is an egyptian mau or a siamese, Kaoru is an orange, Rei is a regular black cat but with weirdly shiny fur and Kouga is a cat who was raised by pitbulls and will not accept the reality that he’s not a pitbull

Keito is a regular european/domestic shorthair but with a weirdly green tint to it

I would say Mika is a khao manee due to the eyes but he is big eyed dark brown colored LaPerm( the specific image I have in mind is one of the pictures in The Cat Encyclopedia and I’m not even sure if it’s for that breed)

Tori is a munchkin

OK OKOK SO i actually already have breed hcs for everyone bc im so autistic abt cats i was gonna wait to talk abt them as i made the cat designs but progress is going really slow on those and now that someone is talking to me about it i cant make myself shut up . i agree with a lot of these !!! im just gonna go ahead and list all of my hcs though bc im insane (these are my somewhat realistic color hcs for what they would be if i didnt choose to make them all candy colored when i draw them lol)

(disclaimer: this is on appearance alone, not all these breeds and mutations are ethical, not all these colors actually appear in the breed stated or are combinations that dont exist, and some of these colors/breeds are extinct)

gonna put this under a readmore cuz its ...... a lot (i woulda added pics too but theres definitely way more than 10 cats here)

kaoru - turkish van, medium longhair, red chinchilla tabby/white

adonis - arabian mau, but with toyger coloration

koga - lykoi, dark gray/black roan, thinks hes a wolf due to being raised with dogs and the lykoi being known as the "werewolf cat"

Any ideas for oumota hero names? Even stupid ones?

im so bad at naming things u have no idea,,,,,

but ive been brain storming !! Kaito will probably end up with something like "Red Beetle" bc im uncreative but i also feel like it's something he would come up with on the spot ( haha . spot )

he probably wouldn't name himself anything like ladybug/ladybeetle/ladybird just bc hed think its too girly to suit him . ( though i think Kokichi nicknames him things like ladybug , ma'am , ect , just to get under his skin )

Ouma i have to try to be more creative with bc hes just more likely to be more creative with his hero name. of course he has to be difficult . ( i say this with love ) . right now im kicking around the idea of naming him after black/gray and white cat breeds !!

Some of the ones ive thought about are Devon Rex ( just kinda sounds cool ) and Ragamuffin ( cant really take it seriously but its silly and kinda fits ) but im really not sold on either .

( theres a breed called munchkins . he would not name himself that but if Kaito was aware of this fact it would become a nickname )

so PLEASE if anyone has any suggestions or anything , im so open to those !!

teehee thanks for the ask :D

[juniestar]

Leon is such a beautiful boy we did a DNA test and found out that he’s a super mega cat mutt which makes sense but also that only 18% of his DNA is american housecat and the rest is mixed between like egyptian mau and maine coon and himalayan and all those types of breeds and it’s funny because if you look at him closely he really does look like a little baby panther. He has a straight nose and little black lips and his facial structure is more like big cat but he is a little boy

See this is him sniffing Ziggy, who’s a ragamuffin persian mix, and they just have such different facial structures. Anyways I say this because I was trimming Leon’s nails and between his cries I’d lay him out on my lap and on his back and I’d massage his neck while he really considered grabbing my face to stop me and he just looked so big cat like. My crazy ass baby boy

[segamastergirl]

Hey I am a big fan of you mha cat designs, and was curious about what breeds they were inspired by. I know some of them because of you mentioned them in your twitter or in deviant art comments but a lot of them I'm in the dark about. So I was wondering if you had a master list of what breeds each of them are. I also have some guesses on some. Like I think Present Mic is an Oriental shorthair because of his build and ears, Uraraka is a Scottish Fold, and All Might's a mainecoon.

Yes! I don't have a master list unfortunately but I think I can list the ones I do have here.

Deku-Cymric, Uraraka-Scottish Fold, Iida-Egyptian Mau, Bakugou-LaPerm, Todoroki- Turkish Van x Norwegian Forest Cat, Kirishima-Burmese, Denki-Abyssinian, Mina-Ragamuffin, Sero-Cornish Rex, Tsuyu-Japanese Bobtail, Jiro- Snowshoe, Tokoyami- Oriental Shorthair, Momo- Persian, Toru-???, Shoji- Savannah, Sato- American Bobtail, Koda- Spynx?, Ojiro- Balinese, Aoyama- Domestic Semi Longhair, Mineta- Bambino

All Might-Maine Coon, Aizawa- Chantilly-Tiffany, Present Mic- Siamese, Midnight- Nebelung, Mirio- Maine Coon, Nejire- American Curl, Tamaki- Javanese, Shinsou- Selkirk Rex, Shigaraki- Lykoi, Toga- Munchkin, Dabi- Turkish Van x Norwegian Forest Cat, Hawks- American Shorthair, Mirko- Highlander, Jeanist- Oriental Longhair, etc

Rn, that's all I could think of. If you guys want to know who else lemme know and I'll see if I have a design for them.

Okay, definitely important and not at all random question: What cats would the Stars be? On the one hand, Ink’s got long furred LaPerm vibes, but I could also see him as a Cashmere Bengal… Long fur either way, though, he’d just got the energy to me? Dream is a black golden chinchilla British shorthair, no questions asked, the cat has Dream Vibes to me. Blue could be a Russian Blue or Nebelung, if we’re being boring, but I also like the thought of him being a Tonkinese… Hm.

Ohhh, this is a hard one to answer. I've made a few ideas about Ccino's cats that are based on the Sanses, but I rarely ever considered what actual breeds they are. I'm doing minimal research for these answers, so take everything I say with a grain of salt. I have like, 5 tabs open to look at different cat breeds, I'm taking this more seriously than I should lmao.

Ink is a small cat breed, befitting of his signature and iconic shortness. The smallest cat breed (according to my 5 seconds of research) is the Singapura, so that's going to be my first choice. I can see LaPerm vibes working, but honestly? Ink has the vibes of an orange cat. I know that doesn't correlate to any breed or anything, but he gives me orange cat vibes. Even though I imagine his fur being largely brown. One of the smaller breeds is the Munchkin breed, but... I'm not going with that one because of the health problems they face from their selective breeding. I know you said he has the energy of a long fur cat, but can you imagine Ink as a Siamese cat?

Dream and Nightmare have to be the same breed because they're twins, and I have too many ideas for these two. I picture them as very fluffy cats, like ragdoll cats or Birmans. The Chinchilla British Shorthair is adorable! The face looks like a Dream face, if that makes sense? Have you ever heard of RagaMuffins? I think that breed could work for the twins, too, if we take Passive into consideration.

In my opinion, there are no boring animal breeds. All of them deserve love! So far, both Ink and Dream are following a relatively long fur pattern, so let's break that up by having Blue be strictly short fur. But for the record, I do like the image of him as a Nebelung. Floofy. Anyway, how about an American Shorthair? British Shorthair? What about a Charteux, California Spangled, or Pixie-bob? He's a very energetic and active cat with some dog-like behaviors, like playing fetch.

i love my cat so much. he is a big sweet baby. i found out his breed is ragamuffin. he was a stray/barn cat before our friends found him. i cant believe he had to live outside, when i was looking up his breed it specifically said INDOOR ONLY!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭 i could literally cry thinking about his life before daniel got him. he wakes me up in the middle of the night a lot to turn on the tub water for him and i do it every time because i need him to be as happy as possible.

[shyghost22]

my long Kiwi talking tangent info dump thing that im gonna use later

kiwi is probably like 12 years old or something or maybe 10 or something?? hes young basically, and when im talking about him i mean in human years idk how old he is in cat years like 2 or something??? idk hes more human than cat because hes anthropramporphiszhedbnkjavskdj however you spell it and hes not super smart but hes a well meaning little guy who only has one thing he wants more than anything: MONEY TREASURE, not because hes greedy but just cuz he wasnt to buy things he wasnts like snacks and games and other things that he likes of course. as for his actual character hes a Munchkin cat, i had to look up cat breeds to figure out which one hes like most and maybe that one isnt the most accurate for him but i didnt know munchkin was an actual word for anything i just thought it was a silly cute word like ragamuffin or something i didnt know it was a cat breed but hes one of them. also he is a boy i think, idk i kinda keep going back and fourth about his gender even though it really doesnt matter cuz hes a fake cat character but i love him so i need to put thought into it, i just call him a boy for simplicitys sake but maybe hes more of a gender fluid character? or something?? i feel stupid talking about a CAT like this but its really not a big deal call him whatever you want dude who cares. he almost always tries to bring his silly bag with him wherever he can if he thinks hes gonna need it to carry stuff, mostly for valuables but yeah, but he almost ALWAYS wears the hat, because... well tbh idk if it was or wasnt obvious but he is (at least partially) based off of me and i always wear a jacket so to him its kinda the same, he always tries to wear it if he can. im running out of things to say but basically YEAH kiwi is an AWESOME character and hopefully you love him like i do because hes the best or she or it IDK DUDE just love him ok thanks bye

[tensecondstomidnight]

on to Show and Tell! back to an OG 4-pager with this one!

i bet this is the chapter that originally introduced lucy’s deaf ear! i mean, they haven’t really brought it up since the prologue chapter, i think.

CHILL MAN

we’ve got some great faces in this one. the eyes in the early pages are so appealing to me, we’ve got the dot eyes and the ��kirby eyes” (pictured above) and then we get that sorta fusion of them that kinda looks like the eyes i draw!

see, like that. also what’s this about girly romance movies? BRING THAT BACK!!! that would be such a cute reference omgggg

anyways yeah, the bit of this chapter is genetics and the different species of the cats! lucy’s deaf ear is attributed to her being a blue-eyed white khao manee, which reflects real life! lucky that she didn’t lose it in both of them. they do a cute bit where yashy thinks her own blue eyes will turn her deaf. i really miss jokes like that, the pets are so cute...

RELAX

anyways mike’s a korat (makes a point of being like “surprised im not a russian blue?” which after looking at them im kinda surprised too!) and daisy comments that she thought mike was a british blue shorthair because he’s “so intellectual.” first of all, he’s totally not a british shorthair and daisy is stupid, but more importantly, what an interesting lore bit this is! everybody is so knowledgeable about cat breeds (makes sense! they’re cats!) but they also have preconceived biases about people of those breeds, likely based on common traits those breeds share in the real world. if you wanna overthink it a bit, daisy just racially profiled mike! looks like yashy is taking the second-place for racism this time around.

daisy is half selkirk rex and half ragamuffin. looking at pictures of those cats, it seems like she represents her breed best when she’s been out in the rain for a bit! she must put a lot of work into those curls.

check out this sequence at the end of page 3. this is soooo cute! lucy getting so visibly envious of someone else getting attention from mike feels like a rarity...

paulo shows up to boast about his breed too! the more they compare their genetics, the weirder it feels. but in a goofy way, because it’s all obviously so lighthearted! paulo is a somali, and the way his breed looks in real life reminds me of a warrior cats character. he mentions his dad is “kinda lion-ish,” can’t wait to see that guy. i headcanon him as sounding like bob from bob’s burgers.

this is another really cute sequence. i like seeing mike and lucy just be friends. sooo cute... and LOOK AT DAISY!! THE SPELL CANNOT BE BROKEN!! PAULO IS TOO COOL!! i’m huge on paulo x daisy so i’m probably gonna gush like that whenever i see them together, haha

the following panels are also such a fun microcosm of what paulo and lucy are. it’s like, the easiest way to explain their dynamic to someone. so perfect!

anyways, yashy claims to be a golden retriever (obviously unintentional but it reminds me of all those “attack helicopter” jokes from like 2016) and david shows up asking to hook up with the supposed golden retriever, only to see yashy and blanch, somehow avoiding getting called the p-word. i wonder why mike gets singled out so much? poor guy.

in the final panel, we get a really funny david drawing and they toss in sue and amaya’s breeds for us to gobble up like the LEECHES we are. obviously, sue is a european burmese, but she’s missing some of the markings you might expect from a cat like her. amaya is a super obvious tabby though, she’s right.

i figured i wouldn’t have much to say about this chapter, since it’s pretty one-note. i’m fine with putting it all in one big post! NEXT TIME: Gone Fishing!

[boozy-dwarf]

I don't understand why fandom thinks Mordor is a place of anarchy and constant danger to life. Orcs and Uruks are a military society, and an army is primarily about discipline. It's understandable to assume a society of maniacs for fairy tale creatures that represent evil, but if you look at it from a logical standpoint this house of cards starts to collapse. I'm not trying to criticize this opinion, just trying to speculate.

The fact is that Tolkien described orcs as creatures that multiply rapidly and can gather in huge armies. If their society was so inadequately bloodthirsty, they would have trouble surviving and breeding.

How would a family live if one of the parents could constantly be aggressive, steal from someone? Such a relative jeopardizes the whole family. And how will the children survive if both mother and father are bloodthirsty ghouls?

If an Orc kills his wife, she has relatives and they will definitely avenge their daughter/sister.

If a female orc is aggressive? Wouldn't she kill her screaming infant who is disturbing her sleep?

Speaking of the military, how can you steal from your fellow soldiers? You'd be quickly punished for such an act. It's the same with murder.

It takes tight control, clear rules, and proper punishment for misbehavior to bring together a large number of men willing to kill.

That doesn't change the fact that there will be a few thieves, murderers, and other scoundrels in society. But they will be found and punished.

I suppose Orcs are dangerous and violent creatures, but to outsiders. They are dangerous to other races. They are dangerous to orcs from another tribe. To their own tribe/clan/family/army they are most likely friendly. It is cohesion that helps survival. Is it possible that Mordor has some special rules of social environment?

If you think of it as a fairy tale, anything is possible, even a society of filthy ragamuffins ready to tear each other's throats out.

┐(・_・ )┌

Thoughts About Sleep and Schedules in General

I've discussed this with @space-arsonist before, but I've refined some points on this:

Orcs are nocturnal, of course, given that they are weak to sunlight. Uruk hai, however, are able to operate in daylight hours with little issue (apart from not exactly enjoying doing so). That being said, uruks and orcs both do not have sleeping schedules.

Mordor is dangerous, and death is an hourly occurrence. It's in their nature to not sleep in long intervals as a survival means. Short naps, 30 minutes to an hour max, are typical, and any more could be seen as an invitation to have your things stolen. Or to be murdered.

Even after the fall of Sauron, and the establishment of settlements both small and large, their internal clocks are still tuned to this "sleep when safe, and only shortly" way of being. Any half-uruks suffer from this poor sleep timer, and any families are often plagued with cranky adults and even crankier children.

I've thought about how their business would function, seeing as how there's both no real schedule to follow and a large portion of the populace is nocturnal, and I've come up with this possible solution:

Some businesses would be opened solely in the day, and others at night, with a few family run businesses being run "24/7". What businesses would follow what schedule could depend on what is in demand and at what times at different settlements.

I wonder which businesses would function under which time schedule... 🤔
