˗ˏˋcrazy cat lady ft. poly!tf141ˎˊ˗

꒰ঌa/n໒꒱ something about simon and cats is just really pullin at my heart strings tn, for @chamomiletealeaf bc she wanted more :)

꒰warning(s)suggested polyship, fluff꒱

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀˗ˏˋrequests are openˎˊ˗

"God, not again."

Simon groaned, as he caught her feeding the alley cats. That piqued Johnny's interest as he walked into the living room area where Simon was standing. He peeked over his shoulder and saw her open a can of tuna-salmon wet food and tipped it into the bowls that she "sneakily" set outside. The alley cats all surprisingly patient as they sat with tails tucked around their forms.

"Well 'll be damned, she's got 'em trained." Kyle's voice interjected, making Johnny jump a little but his grin grew as he folded his arms. Simon only shook his head.

"Ahh, how sweet." Price popped his head in and his gaze was tender as he laid his eyes on her. His once furrowed brows relaxed at the sight of her petting one of the cats heads' as it headbutted her palm and let her glide over its spine to the tip of its tail. Another rubbing itself against her thigh and a third prancing around her as it lightly brushed its black, bushy tail around her waist.

"Jus' admit it, L.t., 's cute." Johnny nudged Simon with a good natured grin. Simon leered at him for a moment before returning his attention to witness her gawking up at them doe-eyed and caught redhanded. Her lips curled into a charming, girlish grin that was enough to make any mans heart stop. She raised her hand to wave at them and they all chuckled, peering down at her with endearing expressions, well, minus Simon.

He felt his temple twitch as he attempted to glare at her, but even he wasn't impervious to her invisible shackles that she placed around his wrists years ago. His jaw ticked as he walked away from the window, leaving the guys behind to adore her coquettish behaviorisms, mumbling something about her being a 'crazy cat lady'.

"C'mere, y'lil cunt."

He growled, at the skittish calico kitten that refused to come out from behind the rubbish bin. He was growing more impatient by the moment, cursing himself for not having more of a natural disney princess touch the way [name] did with animals, specifically felines. A sharp exhale leaves his nose as he palmed his face. It had been fifteen freakin' minutes since he had decided to walk out in the chilly February night air with a can of cat food to lure out one of the kitties that he had saw her feeding earlier. Frustrating was simply an understatement.

A girlish giggle was heard behind him and his body went rigid.

Bloody fuckin' hell.

"Feedin' that damn cat again, weren't ya?" She mimicked his deep, gravelly Manchester accent. As atrocious as it was, he couldn't help but chuckle at her impersonation of him.

"Startin' to sound like a cunt, aren't I?" He retorted. It was a pleasant, lighthearted banter. She chuckled as she crouched beside his towering figure, and made a kissing noise while rubbing his fingers together at the calico and the kitty meowed in delight as she* trotted over to her and welcomed her pets.

*calicos are almost always female

"You gotta make yourself less menacing, Si. Crouch." It was a gentle command as she continued to lovingly stroke the cat. He sighed as he mimicked her position and glanced over at her to wait for her next instruction. "Go on."

She urged him to repeat her exact gestures. He surveyed the way the calico rubbed against her in envy. She could feel his green little monster eyes on her and it made her lips twitch into a smug smile. "Don't got all night, Si."

He narrowed his eyes at her before--reluctantly--repeating her kissing noises and rubbing motion with his fingers at the calico and she meows at him and quickly rushes over to his hand. Simon's eyes immediately softened at the contact. Warm, pure and loving. There was nothing like the little gesture of a kitten welcoming little pets on the forehead as they rubbed their fluffy cheeks against his fingers, down their spine to the tip of their tail. A relieved sigh emitted from his lips and [name] giggled.

He peered up at her for a moment before looking back down to see a black kitten had joined their little party around the opposite side of his leg, rubbing its pink nose against his thigh. Although it was remarkably menial, Simon's mask had arched upwards, indicating that he was indeed smiling. Another chuckle escaped from her as she relished in the rare sight. Simon petting alley cats he was always complaining about to the guys that [name] would bring around due to her sweet-natured behavior that wouldn't allow her heart to just let these animals to just be restive pests that ransacked their waste bins? Unheard of.

"They're just like you." She mused, as she continued to pet the calico. She laughed knowing that he was raising a curious brow at her, waiting for her to continue before she spoke up again. "Skittish as hell."

A short silence.

"Thinkin' they were more like you." He spoke up, still petting the black kitten. She turned to him waiting for a irascible remark, but he peered up at her with a tender gaze as he lifted his free hand to gently pinch her cheek. "Cute as hell."

Her eyes reamed at his words and his adoring touch. Her heart soared in her chest and she couldn't help the way her lips simpered and the way her cheeks warmed pleasantly. A syrupy sweet moment that she was already etching into her brain, and Kyle was capturing forever in his phone as Price and Johnny snickered, beholding the saccharine and cushy side of Simon that came out more and more around her.

"Send this to me." Johnny crowed, with a wolfish grin.

"Ditto." Price bit back his low chuckle but it slipped when he saw the way [name] leaned her head against Simon's shoulder and he didn't even take a beat before he carded his fingers though her hair.

"Fuckin' hell." Kyle's shoulder's were shaking as he muffled the pure joy running through his system. It was indeed a sight for sore eyes.

okay i’ve seen people talk about werewolf sevika but what about werecat sevika like she gives off such cat vibes she’s an introvert who so would love sitting by her window or on her porch watching things also i’ve always headcanoned that she literally purrs when you scratch her head so werecat sev just makes sense to me

YES i fucking LOVE THIS

this is what i think sevika would look like in cat form btw hehehehehe (send me cats u think sevika would look like too! i want to see all ur ideas)

men and minors dni

it all starts with a loose lab-cat. singed had pumped the thing with shimmer and underestimated its strength. he returned to the lab the next morning to a broken glass cage, quickly followed by hissing and hollering coming from the bar.

sevika stepped on the cat's tail where it had been sleeping beneath a table. in return, the cat sunk it's claws into sevika's calf-- four deep scratches running down her leg-- dripping half blood red, half shimmer pink.

singed told her she'd be okay.

he told her to go home and sleep it off and that she'd be fine.

singed is a fucking liar.

the next full moon, sevika turns into a cat.

not a panther, or a lion, or a fucking tiger or something cool. a fucking house cat. and a tiny one too.

she didn't tell anyone. who could she tell? singed would just try to strap her to a lab table and start experimenting on her. silco would probably just laugh. jinx might be her best bet if she wanted answers, but she fears that jinx would do something horrible like pet her or something.

so she just... deals with it.

the more full moons that pass, the more used to it she gets, and the more she can transform herself at will without the moon's powers.

she kinda likes being a cat. it's useful as fuck in the undercity, with all it's steep walls and drop-offs. it gives her crystal clear vision, even in the deepest darkest streets; it gives her great instincts, even in her human form, and...

there's nothing quite like finding a stray beam of sun and curling up for a few minutes to snooze on a peaceful day. both in her human and cat form.

which is how she meets you.

you live on a high floor of a big apartment building in the lanes. it's miserable climbing up and down the stairs multiple times a day, but the nice thing about it is you're high up enough to get some direct sunlight in your home for a good few hours a day.

you don't have a cat-- your landlord would kill you. but you keep a two little pots of catnip and catgrass growing on your fire-escape, a little tin of water and some tuna or chicken when you've got scraps to spare.

you've got a few cats that come to visit you a few times a week, all varying levels of friendly.

the white stray visits every afternoon to snack on your plants, sometimes bringing a skinny orange friend along with her. you let them be, watching fondly through the window as they groom each other.

there's a fat tuxedo cat that you know has an owner somewhere in the neighborhood, that seems to know when you set out food scraps-- always there in a flash to gobble them up. he's friendly as hell, meowing incessantly at your window until you open it up for him and let him come in to get pets for a few hours before returning home for dinner.

there's a new litter of calico kittens you've caught sight of. you think there's five or six separate kitties, but you can never keep track because they grow so and change so much between your sightings of them.

and then there's your newest visitor.

she's a unique cat, silver eyes, only three legs, her left front leg missing completely. there's blue scratches running down her left side, shimmering in the sun when the wind blows her fur away enough for you to see them.

and she doesn't eat any of your plants, or drink any of your water. most of the time, you come home and find her sleeping in a ray of sun. and every time when she wakes up and realizes you're home, the cat will jump up on your windowsill and simply watch you; her tail twitching occasionally in the wind, purring loud enough for you to hear through the little window as her silver eyes follow your every movement inside.

.....

sevika's fucked.

she's so, so, so fucked.

she's been fucking stabbed, twice, and she's loosing blood so quickly that she's starting to see spots.

the men who stabbed her are chasing her, and she's leaving a trail of blood right to herself. no matter how fast she runs, she's not going to lose them.

she's so woozy that she almost forgets that she's got fucking magical powers. she ducks into an alley and quickly transforms, before sprinting away. that takes care of those idiots beating her to death-- but it doesn't change the fact that sevika's dying.

she doesn't know where to go.

the last drop is way too far for her to get there before she bleeds out. she's got no friends in this neighborhood-- and people down here don't have the spare time, money, or sympathy for a dying street cat.

wait.

she knows someone who likes street cats.

someone sweet, and pretty, and always smiling and talking to her like she can speak human language. she can, but she knows your other cat visitors can't-- and it just makes her like you all the more- - the idea of you talking to some clueless cat, just like you talk to her.

she makes it to your fire escape just before her three legs give out.

and while her vision starts to fade completely, the clouds overhead move and a beam of sun shines down on her, the smell of your cat plants wafting over her as the wind blows.

well, sevika supposes. if i'm gonna die i guess this is the nicest place to do it.

you come home and find a dead woman on your fire escape... which isn't a total surprise in this neighborhood.

it's only when you go out to prod at her that you get really freaked out-- because she's not dead, just barely breathing.

you scramble to pull the woman inside your apartment, spreading her out on your bed and nearly throwing up at the sight of two deep stab wounds in her sides.

you've got some shimmer stored in your medicine cabinet in case of emergencies, and you quickly slide the liquid down her throat before scrambling to find something to stitch her side together with.

you aren't sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing when she starts blinking awake, groaning in pain and weakly trying to shove you away from her wounds.

"hey hey hey, wake up." you say, shaking her shoulders. she grunts and scrunches her face up. when her eyes blink open, your stomach twists.

you've never seen eyes that silver besides on the cat that comes to visit you. they're different on a person. much more attractive.

"uh..." you say, trailing off for a second suddenly realizing that the woman beneath you is very naked. and now that you're looking at her, the blue scars on her left side seem awfully familiar. you clear your throat. "uh, wake up." you say again, gently smacking her cheek.

she gasps awake when you start stitching up her second wound. "fuck!" she shouts. and then, she seems to process where she is. "fuck." she says.

you gulp. "uh, i'll get you a blanket." you offer.

sevika nods numbly as you-- the woman she's been shamelessly peeping on for the past year-- stumble out of your bedroom.

"i thought you were dead, honestly, and then you started moving and i got really freaked out. gave you some shimmer-- i hope you don't mind." you ramble as you walk back into your room, throwing a blanket over sevika. "is there anyone i should call for or...?"

"you're even prettier up close." she says. then she cringes.

fuck she didn't mean to say that. it must be the blood loss. and the shimmer. and your pretty eyes.

"uh..." sevika watches as you start to back away like you're scared, and she huffs before she gathers all her energy and transforms into her cat form. "what the fuck?!" you squawk as the woman in front of you disappears in thin air.

and then, a little lump under the covers starts to move.

and the three legged silver eyed cat comes crawling out, two new wounds on her side.

"what the fuck?" you ask, immedietly reaching forward to pet the cat in front of you. you don't consider that the cat is a woman-- it's your natural instinct-- you see a cat, you pet it.

but then the woman's back and your hand is in her hair and she's blushing all the way down to her tits which you can see because she's still naked.

"wha--"

"i'm sevika."

"hi, sevika." you giggle, slightly hysterical. sevika's blush gets even darker. "i'm--"

"i know." she cuts you off, then bites her lip in embarrassment and presses her head harder against your hand, like she's a cat. well, you suppose she kinda is. "i... sorry for stumbling into your life like this. i thought if i died as a cat i died in real life." sevika shrugs. "guess the whole nine lives thing is true, though."

"i don't--"

"i can leave, if you give me a pair of sweats or someth--"

"no!" you squeak. sevika smiles, and now you're embarrassed. "i-i mean... you're injured. you should stay until you're better..." sevika raises an eyebrow at you. "plus... you're kinda cute."

she grins. "as a cat or...?"

"fuck off." you giggle, crawling into bed beside her. "you've fucking... been watching me for a year! it's only fair i get to interrogate you, too, you creep."

"i-i'm not a creep!"

"you've seen me naked!"

"you didn't seem to mind at the time..." sevika pouts.

you can't believe how ridiculous this whole fucking situation is. sevika's blood drying into your mattress underneath the pair of you, but her skin is becoming more vibrant as the shimmer works through her system, flashes of pink sparkling in her silver eyes. she's practically purring as you scratch her scalp. you burst into laughter, and sevika grins up at you.

when you finally catch your breath, you shake your head and look down at the only sorta-stranger beneath you. "so, what are you... a werecat, or something?"

sevika groans before bursting into laughter with you.

Leon S. Kennedy SFW & NSFW HC/s

Poopfart I'm running out of ideas

SFW

Had a small workplace crush on you, but after saving him from a life or death situation, he immediately went head over heels for you.

Did that cute thing where he would tap you on the shoulder with his head down, and after asking what's wrong, he would just spurt out "canwegotodinnersometime"

You laugh at him and pull him into an unexpected kiss. "I would love to, Leon"

His favorite type of dates are definitely picnic dates and movie dates, he loves how he can just sit next to you and admire you for hours

Cried while watching the Titanic with you and just had to pretend sand somehow got into his eye

Would apologize for something he didn't do, say like you're doing laundry or packing up stuff, if something falls he'll go "I'm sorry" while picking it back up and giving it you

No matter what time of day it is, this man wants needs cuddles, he's definitely got a good build on his arms, so he likes to use them to make you nice and warm

Cat person, 1000000% a cat person, would either own a ginger kitty or a calico kitty, or both, if you're up for a challenge

Sleep talker, just like hear me out on this one, talked about Mister X (or aka a "really really big monster") in his sleep and kinda kept you up the whole night

NSFW

Submissive little meow meow

I like to bet this man has no gag reflex, so literally gag him with everything you've got, fingers, dildos, etc

Is like, really loud when he's about to cum, he's all like "I'm gonna- I'm gonna- ngh, ah! C-cumming!!" Like that yk

Public sex is a yes for him, especially if it's in like, the middle of RPD station, him sitting on your lap with a vibrating dildo up his ass, and he has to keep his posture up while greeting guests and all that

Super sensitive, just slightly touching his cock is enough to make him whimper and softly moan

What's even worse is that you'll make him wear these super tight pants while going commando, and everytime he passes somebody, he puts his hands over is crotch so no one can see his insanely obvious hard-on

If you rub him through his pants, there's a pretty high chance he'll cum right then and there.

Likes roleplaying alot, his favorite is when you're dressed up in a sexy schoolmistress outfit while spanking him over a desk

Although it's not as obvious, he kinda liked CBT, especially when you step directly on his tip with your heels

Loves overstimulation and praise, but hates edging and degradation

When aftercare takes place, make sure to give him all the praise in the world, he really doesn't want to feel like he failed you

-------------------------------------------

Omg you're so tall you look like a giraffe

Yeah that's why you deadass built like a baked bean

A BAKE- A BAKED BEAN??

into the wild kitties! #1

HI GUYS MY FIRST ART POST

since i have no clue what kind of art to post on here yet i decided to do something fun!!!

I'll be designing and drawing every single cat in the into the wild allegiances, hopefully uploading each day! yeah im only doing into the wild (for now) cause i would like to stay alive and breathing thanks!

(way more text below)

also designing ISNT WHAT IM BEST AT, these are just for fun!

im gonna start explaining and babbling about the designs now,,

firepaw is TECHNICALLY not the first cat in the allegiances but come on i have to do him first he's FIREPAW. I didn't have much of a thought process for him other than mmmmm yes fire. I really wanted to add some blue to his eyes cause like, blue fire haha but i couldn't find a way to do that without making the whole design look weird.

Next is bluestar! bluestar with long hair my beloved. i tried to make her as BLUE as possible without making your eyes burn off, but she is VERY BLUE

Now for redtail! this one was a bit more tricky to be honest, i wasn't too sure of what to do because, i sorta forgot how i perceived redtail lmao?? most of what i was thinking while designing him was.....hmm spottedleaf brother...... of course he has his signature red tail, and i wanted to give him that sort of calico kinda hair color, like how people dye their hair to be calico yeah i was going for that. like he dyed his hair but it's actually just like that.

And lastly, spottedleaf! i think you all can clearly see the neapolitan inspiration here lol. I was thinking of how i was gonna design her, and a lightbulb lit up above my head and went ICE CREAM ICE CREAAMMM so here's neapolitan spottedleaf! i also this these colors make her look like she smells good which is a trait of hers i guess, like look at that cat and tell me she doesnt look like she smells like vanilla and strawberries and chocolate. I also made an effort to have spottedleaf and redtail to resemble or mirror eachother! that'll probably become a pattern with the siblings I'll be designing.

also side note, literally i drew these with a pencil on paper, lined it with black paint and a stiff paintbrush and THEN transferred the drawing into ibispaint. just wanted to put it out there...heh... probably one of my new favorite ways of drawing ever.

I'm gonna be using the #into the wild allegiances to tag all of these in case you wanna find them all later.

umm idk how to end this, bye guys!!!

if you have any questions about using these designs orrr whatever feel free to ask!

i posted the higher quality individual versions of the designs on my instagram! same user as here!!

Some Guardian Angel Neil ? <3

WIP Wednesday (2/7) | Guardian Angel Neil AU (Part 113)

“What does the cat look like?” Andrew asks, partly because he’s interested and partly because he wants to believe it. Wants to find a cat the next time they’re in Columbia. If the cat is real, then maybe Neil is too.

Neil seems surprised by the question. He gives Andrew a curious look. “I thought we were talking about my knife conundrum and the guys who broke into the stadium.” 

“We are. Just tell me what the cat looks like first,” Andrew says. 

“You’ve literally never cared about animals before—”

“Neil.”

“I don’t know. It’s one of those ones that have every color in them,” Neil answers. Ah, wonderfully vague. Great.

“A calico?” 

“Sure,” Neil says with a shrug. “I call it Kitty.”

“How original.” Andrew deadpans. “What else?”

“Uh… It’s got greenish yellow eyes. One of its ears has a chunk out of it. Why?” Neil asks. 

Andrew commits those details to memory and makes a note to do some cat hunting this weekend. “I was just curious about your other friend.”

“I wouldn’t call us friends. She still doesn’t like me that much. Hisses when I get to close, sometimes tries to bite me.” Neil says, then he laughs. “Hey, she’s just like you. Small and very... opinionated.”

“Fuck you,” Andrew says.

"I could've straight up called you an asshole."

"That would be accurate as well," Andrew concedes. Then he remembers the original topic of the conversation. “Anyway, they wouldn’t have been able to tattle on you for killing them, so you were going to do it?”

[seth-burroughs]

What if. What if they were cats. Today on rain code art that caters to me and me only

Some notes:

The ahoges are now adapted into ear tufts. I don't know how common or if possible are ear tufts on short-haired cats, so, assume artistic liberties or something. Rule of Pretty

Yuma now has blue eyes, because 1) I'm making all the charas have realistic cat genetics and bright purple eyes just. aren't really possible in cats unless they have albinism, and even then it's just a slight tint, and 2) he's a colorpoint now, and all colorpoint cats have blue eyes! That is because colorpoints have a form of partial albinism, and because of that all their eyes are blue because the blue layer in the eye (that's common to all cats) is not covered by another color :)

All the fur flying around Yuma is because of stress, as cats shed excessively when they're having a terrible time. Soon the whole Kanai Ward is covered in Kokohead memorabilia

Makoto gets a new mask and is now perpetually owo'ing. As soon as he takes it off he reveals the face of the most miserable cat alive after hours upon hours of getting whisker fatigue (causing sensory overload in cats, for ex. when rubbing whiskers on the side of a bowl that's too deep) wearing it. As for the fur, I have no idea how he dyes it that way and I will not make up one

Gave Kurumi appaloosa mutation (that I constantly mix up with finnish mutation in my head) to resemble her freckles :) she's a spotty kitty now :33

Also wanted to imitate a braid with her tail but couldn't really make it work, so instead it's now thin at the base and tufty at the end. Can you. Can you see it (also gave her detailed shading because she's a very special girl that deserves it)

Yomi & Martina are probably going to be next, I already have a very clear image of cat Yomi rotating in my head. To go along with my transmasc Yomi headcanon, and keep him dying his hair, he is now a black-red calico that paints over his black patches with orange dye to look like a bicolor. As torties/calicos are almost always female unless something funky is going on. To win boy kitty passing. Something which is possible to fail at

[fangsnpaws]

kitty regressor!spencer reid headcannons ✩ wc: 450 ✩ [div.]

this is about SFW pet(d)re. dni if k¡nk. i'm a minor.

☆ i think he would definitely be a calico cat!! i feel like the colors suit him so well!

★ he would be so clingy. one of THOSE velcro cats.

☆ always wanting to be next to you. whether it be curled up next to you, in your lap, following you everywhere, or simply being in the same room! of course, he would respect your wishes if you didn't want him close to you, or don't want to be touched.

☆ he would love to receive physical affection if you wanted to give it! i feel like he would LOVE to have his hair played with and headpats/rubs!!

★ he would just be the sweetest little kitty ever. so kind, so affectionate, and just a sweet little baby!!!!

☆ i think that he would mostly be really calm and just wanna chillax, but would enjoy playing every once in a while! but i think it would be like… calm playing if that makes sense. some gentle roughhousing or tickling, fidgeting with or swatting toys around, stalking and pouncing, and maybe even a bit of chasing!

★ a BIIIG sunbather, napper, and stretcher!!

☆ he would love laying in the sun, whether it be inside or outside. i think he would prefer to lay on the floor next to a window inside! and he would look so pretty in the sunlight </3 especially if he had lil ears or a tail!!

★ napping 24/7. not literally, of course, but regressing would be such a relieving and relaxing time for him, so he would naturally just feel kinda sleepy! no pun intended, but i think he would take a lot of cat naps! maybe napping for thirty minutes during a movie, or after dinner, etc. little naps here and there!

☆ and a stretcher!! with all his stress that he carries in that lanky ole body, he would definitely enjoy some yoga. he could do it by himself, but he would prefer to do it with you! even if you're not actually doing the yoga with him, he would enjoy having you help him with the stretches or give him a massage!

★ sweaters!!!!!! SWEATER PAWS!!!!! i think that sweaters would be his favorite thing to wear while regressed, and would help him slip sooo easily. i can see the sweater paws being a big thing for him. and even more if it were your sweater he was wearing! he would be so comfy and love the comforting smell.

☆ i don't think that he would regress very very often, especially since he only has so much free time, but i can see him trying to at least once a week! and getting pent up if he hasn't in a while :(

Gagamaru and I have one cat that was originally mine, Kabocha. He’s very sweet but is a bit flighty and takes a long time to warm up to Gagamaru; the first time I rlly have the hes the one thought is when I walk in on him napping on my couch w Kabo tucked into the crook of his arm dozing away bc!!!! It’s the first time he’s been comfortable enough to sleep on anyone other than me. Very himbo cat, absolutely gorgeous but total dumbass.

Kuroo and I have three cats! I had two and he had one when we combined households we were veeeeeeery careful w introducing them 🥺 he’s had a grouchy old lady for as long as I’ve known him. Her name is Suki and he took her in as a stray after an elderly neighbor’s son let her loose; she adores him and it’s slow going but she comes to adore me as well. I had a cat that passed a few weeks after I met him and then didn’t have any pets for a while, but then abt half a year before we move in together he stumbles across a trio of kittens on his way to a date w me and the date devolves into us getting them care……. One unfortunately doesn’t make it :( but I end up taking in the other two; they’re a lil girl and boy named Mizuki and Hoshi. Old lady is tolerant of them but they’re def a bit too energetic for her so the only times they rlly interact r when they’re in a puddle together napping…. Suki is the calico, Mizuki and Hoshi r the white ones! Once they’re fully grown they’re both bigger than her, tho Hoshi is an absolute unit and is the biggest by quite a bit

I believe I’ve said this once but. I have a perpetual series of completely normal housecats w Jing Yuan pfft I try my best but they have an unfortunate tendency of hunting his finches :( I only ever have one-three at a time and ofc I adore them all but I do end up w like fifty over the course of our lives together LMFAOOOOO including a few lil lineages where I kept many generations down the line!!! But the three that I’ve thought about r Jade and her kittens Bei and Feng (Yanqing named those two……) bc they’re the ones I have over the course of Mimi’s life. Mimi is a co-parent in their odd little pride, she and Jade grew up together and are very bonded n constantly exasperated by their rambunctious boys……. just like me and mine, though Yanqing and Jing Yuan constantly protest that comparison 🫣

i Have talked abt shanks before but its funny to me so. this lil scrawny tuxedo kitten ends up following me onto the red force one day (bc i fed it) and nobody realizes until we've set off.... i am told i Cannot name it or get attached bc we Will be leaving it on the next island....... except the crew ends up getting attached and they name it sharkbait. SHARKBAIT. FOREVER bitter NEVER getting over it every time shanks and i get into any kind of fight i bring it up "ALSO YOU TOLD ME I COULDNT NAME THE DAMN CAT AND NOW ITS NAMED SHARKBAIT YOU STILL OWE ME" (he will never stop owing me)

Lil bonus bc he’s been on the mind for months now: Capitano is not a cat person in fact when I first ask for one he gets me a pair of massive guard dogs that I stubbornly refuse to name at first and then end up calling Fluffy and Cuddles out of pure spite. Then I bitch enough that he does get me a kitten who Absolutely Fucking Despises Him tries to rip him to shreds every time he gets in bed with me (a week in he admits he finds it endearing but she does get kicked out of the room regularly when he wants alone time) I call her Lady she is a very elegant girl when she is not trying to murder him and actually gets along very well w the dogs, much to Capitano’s chagrin

[high-theyre-frendough]

I think that my cats love it when I eat an edible cause then I get really focused on petting them indefinitely. Some of them like ear rubs, some like back massages, some like head scratches, and if you know exactly what the cat likes, you can just keep petting them indefinitely. Its perfect. The cat will tell you to fuck off when you're done. The best part is that I have 6 cats. I can pet them all. Noodle usually doesn't want attention but I did it just now because she needs to know I love her. Mostly she likes pets around the head/face/neck. She is the shyest kitty. Tiny. Calico. I can tell her apart from Pasta cause she has pure solid black fur on most of her face, with some brown/orange in the bottom corner of her face like a little sunset. Pasta has mostly brown on her face.

I was going to post, but figured I could take a picture of Noodle, cause she is right next to where I am sitting. I got the photo via just making clicking noises and she posed for me. Also I gave her a quick head scritch (she didn't want me to do that, so it was a quick one cause I stopped when she asked me to). Then she went back to her nap. She was more curious about me getting her attention than wanting attention herself. So she's napping now, and I'm posting this, so that was our brief transaction.

Friend of Papa's

Summary: Puss's time has come and it seems Muerte is going to make a tiny friend

---------

The full moon hung high in the sky as laughter came from a small house that was surrounded by an endless desert,a fence squared around this house and the few crops that grew near the house.

“Kids, Perrito,” A female, blue-eyed, black tuxedo cat with a white chest, whiskers, muzzle, tail-tip, eyebrows and paws wearing a brown belt dark brown heeled boots called as she walked across a table to put a book on one of the higher shelves, “keep the volume down. Puss is sleeping.” She informed.

“Sorry, Kitty!” A male chihuahua, Perriot, with brown, white and black fur and blue eyes wearing a white and blue sweater called as he looked up at the black and white cat, Kitty, a male white kitten with black splotches and blue/green eyes giggling as he held onto the dog's head. Kitty shook her head and laughed as she jumped off the table, her boots clicking as she landed on her feet. “Just keep it down.” She pleaded softly.

“Kitty, amor!” A tired, raspy voice called, making the black and white cat’s blue eyes widen as she looked over her shoulder. “Leave them be!” A male orange tabby cat with green eyes said, his face sunken in and tired, his fur disheveled. “They are having fun!” He added as he wobbled up next to Kitty. “Puss-!”

“Papá!” A female black kit with eyes as green as Puss’s cheered before running away from the pile of black, orange and white. “Whoa, whoa, whoa!” Kitty exclaimed with worry as the black kit jumped at Puss. “Easy, mi princesa!” Puss chuckled as he shifted so he was holding the kit on his right hip. “Sorry, Papá.” The black kit apologized. “Esta bien, Sombra.” Puss said, nuzzling her head as the kit, Sombra, rubbed her head against his.

Kitty smiled softly at her husband and daughter as Puss kissed Sombra’s head before he set her down and let the black kit run back towards the tumbling pile of kits and Perrito. “Puss, you should be resting.” She advised, setting her left hand on his right shoulder, resting her right hand on his lower right arm. “I’m done resting, mi amor.” Puss said, resting his left hand on her’s, which was still on his shoulder. “I want to spend time with my family with the time I have left.” He added, smiling towards his children and canine friend.

Kitty furrowed her eyebrows and gave a concerned smile as she chuckled. “Puss, you have plenty of time left!” She argued. “With a bit of time and rest, you’ll be back-!” “I heard him today.” Puss interrupted, not taking his eyes off the kits. “He’s in the distance, but he's coming.” He added, Kitty giving him a look of pain and horror. “If I continue to rest,” he started again, coughing, “I will have wasted this life.”

Puss frowned and gave Kitty a sorrowful look when the female cat sputtered over her words. “H-How do we know for sure he’s coming for you?!” She asked. “He did chase you for, what, months?!” Kitty asked as Puss turned to face her. “Mi amor…” He started softly, gently running the back of his right hand against her cheek. Kitty let out a soft, pitiful sigh as she grabbed onto his wrist and hand, keeping it on her cheek. “The time has come.” He said.

Kitty pressed her lips together and furrowed her eyebrows together before letting out a soft sob, Puss pressing his forehead against her’s. “Mi amor,” Puss croaked. “Mi vida.” Kitty whispered back. The pair stood there before they turned and looked back towards the pile when one of the kits squealed. “Niños!” Puss cheered as he walked towards the chihuahua and kits, Kitty hesitating to let go of his arm. “Papá!” A male white and orange tabby kit with blue eyes cheered as he and a male calico kit with green eyes jumped at their father, making the sickly cat laugh as he fell onto his rear, the other two kits and Perrito rushing over.

Kitty watched with a sad smile and gave a half-hearted laugh as she wiped her tears away. ‘Please…Let him be wrong…’ Kitty prayed.

3 Days Later

“Alright, kids!” Kitty laughed as she set Sombra and the white and black kit down in a basket bed, the ginger and white kit and calico kit climbed into the bed. “Cálmate, cálmate. Time to sleep.” She said softly as Sombra slid out of her arms and landed in the bed. “Can you stay with us for a while, Mamá?” The white and black kit asked, clinging to his mother. “What?” Kitty asked, chuckling. “Why, Egg?” She asked, raising an eyebrow.

The white and black kit, Egg, only responded with a soft grunt as he hid his face in her chest. Kitty frowned down at her six-fingered son before she looked towards the bedroom door, worried for her husband who was sleeping in a room down the hall. “Alright.” Kitty sighed, kicking her boots off. “Just until you all fall asleep.” She said, still holding Egg as she climbed into the basket.

“I don't need cuddles!” The ginger and white kit said proudly as he crossed his arms. “Alright, PJ.” Kitty chuckled as she laid down on her side, Egg curling up against his mother’s belly while the calico kit settled between his mother’s arms and Sombra flopped over Kitty’s side. “Goodnight, Mamá.” The calico yawned. “Goodnight, Koi.” Kitty purred as she watched her litter fall asleep around her.

A Few Hours Later

By time the crescent moon was high in the sky, Kitty had fallen asleep with her kits, Koi sleeping under her chin in her arms, Egg curled up in a ball against Kitty’s stomach, Sombra curled up on her side and PJ laying in the crease of his mother’s animalistic legs, the upper half of his body laying over his mother’s thigh, while Perrito slept in a dog bed next to the fireplace and Puss slept in his and Kitty’s shared room.

“Huh?” Puss croaked out as a low, menacing, yet somewhat comforting, whistle rang out through the night air. The sickly tabby took in a deep, raspy breath and coughed before he settled again, a soft smile on his face. “Took you long enough, Muerte…” Puss wheezed, looking towards his bedroom window as the moonlight was blocked out.

Standing at the window was a large, silvery-white, bipedal wolf with a gray mask-like-marking on his face, sharp teeth, and bright red eyes wearing a black riding cloak with a built-in hood, and brown trousers under the cloak with a pair of razor-sharp sickles on each hip.

“Yeah, yeah.” The wolf huffed as he lumber towards the average-sized bed, which was ten times too big for Puss. “Be grateful.” He said as he sat down on the bed. “I was supposed to come get you three days ago.” He added, removing the sickles from his sides. “Hehehe…I figured when I first heard your whistle.” Puss chuckled weakly, closing his eyes.

The two sat in silence, the only sound being Puss’s ragged breaths, while the wolf’s red gaze was locked on the horizon outside the window. “Muerte…” Puss wheezed out, making the wolf. Muerte, look over at him out of the corner of his eye. “I have but one request of you…before I go.” He said, coughing. “What? Want me to give your little gatitos extra lives?” Muerte asked, a smirk on his face.

Puss let out a weak chuckle and shook his head. “No, no…” He said. “No…” He sighed before opening his eyes and looking over at the cloaked wolf. “I want you to treat my children differently than you treated me.” He said. “What? Was the chase no fun, Gato?” Muerte asked, raising an eyebrow. Puss just chuckled and shook his head. “Muerte,” he started in all seriousness, “I want you to visit my children when they lose their first lives.” He requested.

Muerte’s eyes widened and he looked at the sickly cat with a shocked expression. “You were right…” Puss started again as the wolf tried to think of something to say. “Through all of my ventures, I never knew you were there…watching.” Puss continued. “Or, maybe I did, but ignored you.” He corrected, shrugging. “I do not want that life for my sons and daughter.” He said, looking up at Muerte again. “I want them to cherish every life they have like it will be the last. Strike the fear of Death into them.” He finished, looking up at Muerte again.

The wolf stared down at the orange tabby before he chuckled. “Looks like you took my warning to heart.” He observed. “Warning?” Puss questioned, raising an eyebrow. “Yeah. You didn’t think me telling you to live your life well was me being nice, did you?” Muerte asked, making Puss chuckle. “I suppose it could be taken either way.” He sighed, smiling up at the ceiling, before the two fell into silence again, the wolf looking out the window again.

“I will do as you request.” Muerte finally agreed, not looking down at the tom. Puss smiled and let out a soft sigh. “Thank you…Muerte…” Puss breathed out as his eyes slowly started to close. The cloaked wolf looked down at Puss and watched the orange tabby’s breathing slowed before he started whistling his eerie melody as he stood up and pulled his hood onto his head, putting his sickles back onto his sides. “Hasta luego, Puss in Boots.” Muerte nodded before heading towards the bedroom door.

“Who are you?”

Muerte stopped in his tracks and his eyes widened when he saw Sombra standing in the hallway, a few feet away from the bedroom door. “Uhh…” Muerte uttered out, unsure what to respond with. “Why are you in Mamá and Papá’s room?” Sombra asked, seeming to not realize the wolf didn't answer her first question. The wolf let you a soft chuckle and smiled down at the small kit. "Just saying goodnight to your Papá." Muerte answered. "Oh…Can I tell Papá goodnight?" Sombra asked, smiling up at the wolf.

The wolf's smile fell and he glanced over his shoulder at the open door. "Actually," he started, grabbing his left sickle off his side and using it as a hook to pull the door close, "Papá is already resting.” He said, looking down at the kit out of the corner of his eye.

“Oh.” Sombra said, looking down at the ground as her ears flatten. “Well then,” the wolf started, Sombra’s ears perking back up as he scooped her up in his right hand, “I think that means we should get you back to bed.” He said, holding the kit close to his chest, his left hand held up behind her. “I’m not tired!” Sombra argued, crossing her legs. “Yeah, yeah. That’s what the little ones say.” Muerte huffed as he started down the hall.

`Sombra tilted her head and blinked up at the wolf before she raised both her hands up and grabbed onto the right side his muzzle, earning a soft snarl from Muerte as he curled the right side of his lip up, revealing his razor-sharp fangs. “Wow!” Sombra exclaimed, a wide smile on her face. “Your teeth are huge!” She pointed out as Muerte pulled his muzzle away, licking his lips. “All the better to catch my prey with.” He growled, smirking as Sombra giggled.

“So, which little one are you, gatita? Egg? Koi?” Muerte asked, making the black kit giggle more. “No! I’m Sombra!” She introduced. “Ah, the little shadow.” Muerte hummed, nodding, making Sombra giggle again.

Not long after, Muerte reached the kitten’s bedroom, her mother and brothers still sleeping. “Alright, gatita,” the wolf started as Sombra yawned, “this is where we part.” He said as he laid Sombra down next to Egg, who immediately cuddled up next to his sister. “Goodnight, Mr. Wolf… Sombra yawned, closing her eyes as she curled up into a ball. “Buenas noches, Sombra.” Muerte nodded, standing up.

The wolf stood there and looked the sleeping family over before he started whistling again, pulling his hood over his head as he turned and started walking away. Not long after the wolf disappeared, the ringing of the whistle hung in the air as Kitty gasped and sat her head up quickly.

“Puss!”

2 Weeks Later

As the days passed, Kitty felt a mix of relief and sorrow that after Puss’s passing, her kits were able to continue playing and being rambunctious. “Oh, Puss…” Kitty sighed as she watched her sons roll around in the front yard, the female cat standing in a chair with her arms crossed over the porch railing.

Suddenly, Kitty’s eyes widened, her pupils becoming slits, and her fur started to prickle and fluff out as a familiar melody whistled through the air behind her, the front door of the house slowly creaking open further. “Sombra!” Kitty breathed out in fear before she jumped off the chair and ran into the house.

Kitty grunted as she threw the door open, grabbing onto the doorframe with her right hand. A gasp escaped her when she saw Sombra sitting in the middle of the living room floor, scribbling on a piece of paper, whistling the spine-chilling melody.

“S-Sombra…” Kitty called softly, making her daughter look over at her. “Where did you learn that?” She asked. “From Papá’s friend! He came to say goodnight the day Papá fell asleep.” Sombra explained. Kitty suddenly felt her heart leap into her throat as it started beating faster, her fur fluffing out more. “Mamá?” Sombra questioned, ears flattening.

The sound of her daughter’s confused and scared voice made Kitty lunge forward and wrap her arms around Sombra as she fell to her knees. “Never ever whistle that tune again! Do you understand, pequeña?” Kitty ordered. Sombra sat there for a moment, frozen in confusion, before she hesitantly grabbed onto her mother’s fur, hiding her face in Kitty’s chest. “Yes, Mamá…” Sombra agreed, her voice muffled.

Kitty let out a shaking breath and rested her cheek on top of Sombra’s head as she tightened her grip around her and looked down at the paper Sombra had been coloring on. Scribbled onto the sheet was a black figure with red, scribbley dots as eyes. Kitty furrowed her eyebrows together before she looked away and nuzzled her nose into the top of her kit’s head.

That Night

After putting Perrito and her kits to bed, Kitty walked out onto the front porch and climbed up into the chair again, holding onto the railing. “Muerte…” Kitty started with a growl. “I know you can hear me, so listen carefully…” She looked up at the night sky. “¡Aléjate de mis gatitos!” She yelled.

Oblivious to her, up on the top of one of the desert mountains, was a dark silhouette, his cloak and tail blowing in the breeze as the moonlight reflected off his sickles.

A snippet from my prior Baku/Deku. I love this cute scene at a cat cafe. I was just rereading and it made me giggle so I thought I’d share. I love the little Dekat.

I Will Always Love You

No tags except for Katsuki cussing…

“What time do we have to get to the arena tonight?” Sero called over to Izuku, he sat cross legged next to Yuga, a feather toy in his hand playing with a younger cat, a yellow tabby.

“In four hours, we have to be there by six-thirty, you go on at eight,” Izuku sat on a bean bag, a small gray tabby had come to investigate him. Sitting quietly, he’d been able to scratch the kitty under the chin, it started to purr loudly. “Hear him Kacchan?” Izuku turned to the blonde who was lying stretched out on the floor, perched on his elbows, a calico cat curled up on his stomach, they were both glaring at each other. Izuku pulled out his phone slowly and snapped a picture, he hit the video button.

“I saw that nerd,” Katsuki stared at the cat that had made him a bed. He’d sat down to watch Deku when the damn cat had jumped on him and instantly curled up. It was purring so hard he could feel the vibrations in his stomach, but if he moved or tried to push it off, it sunk its claws into his skin, green eyes glaring at him. “I think this cat is you Deku,” Katsuki peered closer at its eyes, the cat started to squeeze it’s claws rhythmically “Fuck! He gritted his teeth, “it’s definitely you Deku, little green eyes is killing me here.”

“She’s just making biscuits, Kacchan.”

“What the fuck are biscuits? And why is it happening on my stomach?” Katsuki growled as the cat lifted its chin, sniffing the air.

“When a cat is happy or likes you sometimes, they’ll knead you, it’s called making biscuits.”

“How long is it going to happen?” Katsuki sucked in his breath as one claw went a little deeper. “Damn cat.”

“Depends on the cat,” Izuku shrugged

“I can take her off for you if you want,” Pinky offered, leaning backwards over her beanbag.

“Don’t fucking touch her, you heard the nerd, she’s happy,” Katsuki clicked his tongue, watching as the cat kneaded his stomach again, he clenched his jaw.

“Okay!” Pinky laughed and went back to her own cat.

“We’re maxed out on time guys,” Shinso called out finally, “we only could stay forty minutes, they want to rotate new people in,” he stood up carefully trying not to scare his little black cat.

“Fuck,” Katsuki looked at the cat’s green eyes, “have we been here that long?”

“I guess so,” Izuku stood up slowly.

“I’m gonna need your help nerd,” Katsuki nodded to the cat, “just like you, she’s not letting go.”

“I’m not that clingy Kacchan,” Izuku huffed, he walked slowly to the blonde and squatted down. Reaching out his hand he stroked the cat slowly, the purring started again.

“I like clingy Deku, I’m not complaining,” Katsuki smiled at him as he petted the cat. She stood and stretched, slowly sauntering off his stomach. She yawned then leapt to a cat tree, kneading a small blanket, she settled back down. Standing up, they headed to the door, Deku retrieving his pillow.

“What did you think of the café? I liked it,” Izuku glanced back at the gray tabby.

“It was definitely filled with fucking cats,” Katsuki noticed the calico turning away as another person tried to pet her, he smiled. “I think I liked it too.”

ABYSS - The Ocean of ■ That Drips Downwards 5

Author: Akira

Characters: Souma

Translator: Mika Enstars

"If you mess with a human’s stuff, you’ll get a big scolding! “Bad!”"

Season: Winter

Location: Kanzaki Residence

Reminiscence. Right after the funeral for Kanata Shinkai’s mother, at Souma Kanzaki’s residence…

Souma: [Reflection Letter].

[I, Souma Kanzaki, disobeyed my parent’s teachings, with this profigate]

Pro… pro… profliga…

Profligate, was it? There, there it is! ♪

(Hm, you can find anything in the dictionary!)

(If I don't use the right words, I won't be able to convey my feelings correctly.)

(Maybe I should carry a dictionary with me from now on.)

(Dictionary in the right hand, sword in the left!)

(Yes, I’ll be unstoppable! ♪)

(Though I’m still small, so both are still too heavy for my stature…)

(But I’m not allowed to touch the sword, a family heirloom to be eventually passed on to the next generation. Not even for rituals. It’s to be only viewed from afar.)

(Someday, I hope to become a person deserving of it!)

(A full-fledged samurai, always with a sword at his waist.)

(And to achieve that, I must repent earnestly here and train myself.)

Souma: Hmm. [with this profligate behavior of mine, I have violated the taboo and disgraced my family name.]

[Hereafter, I vow to reflect upon my behavior so that I do not make the same mistake.]

Hm, all done. The brushwork is good and the content is good. Perfect workmanship.

Now, to deliver this to Father…

(Hm? Is there a guest? Who is it that Father’s talking to?)

(I mustn’t interfere. I’ll wait for a bit. I don’t want him to raise his voice at me again.)

…Oh, a cat’s in the garden.

A cute, cute little calico kitty![1]

Move on, there are no fish here! If you’re gonna fish, fish elsewhere.

If you mess with a human’s stuff, you’ll get a big scolding! “Bad!”

(Hmm… I had no intention to eavesdrop, but Father’s voice is so loud I can hear what they’re talking about.)

(…I-I keep hearing my name here and there. I’m embarrassed. Are you complaining to your guests about your son’s incompetency?)

(But Father~! I’m reflecting properly! I shall never again repeat the same mistake!)

(Please forgive me already—Hm?)

(God? Did Father just say “god”?)

(…That mysterious child I met at the funeral that day seemed like he was a god.)

(Now that it’s been said, it makes sense, that’s the kind of atmosphere he had…)

(And, although my household isn’t of a shrine, and instead of samurai, we seem to be a household involved in Shinto rituals for generations.)

(I’ve observed rituals many times. I’ve rehearsed all sorts of things for them—)

(As to ensure that rituals honoring gods will continue to be carried out flawlessly.)

(It’s not something that Father has said explicitly, but that’s the impression I’ve gotten.)

(Because on that day, I unknowingly met a great person of whom I will eventually serve.)

(As my superior, of a higher class, I was not even allowed to even speak to him to begin with.)

(And so, it only makes sense that I’ve been scolded. If it were the olden days, something like beheading would have been too lenient for such an unforgivable act.)

(I’m reflecting properly… I swear I will never again defile God’s eyes.)

Souma: (No, that god was wearing a mask of sorts, it’s possible that he hadn’t been able to see me.)

(Although that does sound a bit lonely…)

(The fingertips of God that touched my head that day were gentle, soft, and warm.)

(He felt sacred to me, even when I didn’t know that he was God.)

(Is that how God is supposed to be?)

(Then, it would be wonderful to serve and worship them, wouldn’t it?)

Souma: …Hm?

(Hmmm~? What is it that Father’s been talking about since a bit ago?)

(“Abisu”? What’s “abisu”?)

(I keep hearing that word from Father and the guest.)

(Somehow, the atmosphere is kinda extraordinary… Like a warlord before entering a great battle. It’s cool.)

(But, what's this “abisu”? It’s a word I don’t yet know.)

(However, heheh, I have a dictionary right at hand!)

(I can look up words I don’t know right away. As such, it is important to understand every mysterious thing that surrounds us!)

(A, a, abisu. Abisu… Oh, here it is!)

(What does it mean?)

(Umm, it’s English, meaning “hell”.)

(Or, it can mean a deep… …What reading is this? Umm, I think I saw it in a book once, and worked hard looking it up in the dictionary back then too?)

(Right, abyss! Abisu means abyss (shin’en)!

(A very deep, pitch-black ravine within the sea.)

(It can also mean “deep sea” (shinkai) huh? Hm, hmm… I’m learning a lot!)

1. Fun fact! The "mike" (三毛) from "Mikejima" (三毛縞) means "calico". Madara has a pretty strong cat motif throughout his character.

[xprojectrpg]

Moment of Awesome - Meggan Szardos/Gloriana: Following the sudden flooding of District X, Meggan and Spectrum work together to find a missing family member in a bodega.

It was so quiet that Meggan had almost missed it, but yes. There it was again. It was a bit louder the second time, and a bit more identifiable as a rather worried meow. “I think that’s the missing cat,” she realized. She set aside the bag of debris as she tried to zero in on the exact spot the sound emanated from.

“Right about...here,” she noted as she heard another noise. She flew upward, and carefully shifted the foam tile, thankfully one over from the actual location, so no animal came tumbling down on their heads. “Hello, there,” she softly whispered to its occupant. She didn’t want to just grab the poor dear and scare her into scratching. “Sorry your home filled with all the water.”

Luckily, the cat treats were on a higher shelf, and in plastic bags - Nica grabbed a pouch and floated up to perch on the top of the shelves, near the section of ceiling Meggan was dismantling. "Try these," she suggested, laying the packet within reach. "And I'll do my best impersonation of a nice, warm sunbeam."

“Good idea,” Meggan praised. What cat in its right mind could turn down flopping around in some sunshine? She hoped this one wasn’t too frightened to be tempted into a luxurious beam. She shook a few treats into her palm, and then placed two of them down near the cat. It had briefly backed away, but then appeared torn.

There was some understandably wariness there, some curiosity, a dainty sniff; and then, yes, eating quickly. “Oh, you’re definitely hungry, and I wish we knew your name,” Meggan noted. At this angle, she couldn't read a collar. She would briefly start calling her Miss Calico Doe in her head until she found out the actual moniker for her. “Just a little closer, please,” she encouraged softly.

Nica sat still and quiet, letting Meggan do her thing and just focussing on warmth and light. C'mon kitty kitty, it's all safe here...

Meggan was able to scratch behind the ears as she got a bit closer. The cat gradually began to take an interest in the moving light and the warmth, even as she stole more treats from Meggan. The cat sniffed Meggan’s hand delicately, and then studied the area further below. Meggan moved back slightly, as she spotted the cat was preparing to make a leap from there to a nearby shelf.

Restraining herself from a gleeful squeal as the cat jumped down onto the shelf near her, Nica reached out slowly to let the cat sniff at her glowing hand. "There's a good kitty-cat," she murmured softly, as the cat decided she was safe and began rubbing its head against her hand, purring.

Meggan returned to the ground, grateful the poor thing hadn’t decided to continue on to another hiding place. She poured the remaining treats into her palm. “Would you like more?” She asked, when the cat looked her way expectantly once it heard the crinkle of the package. The treats were quickly accepted, and the purring increased in volume.

Nica took advantage of the treat scarfing to check the cat's collar for a name tag. "Bonita," she read aloud, and the cat looked up and chirped as if agreeing. "Well then, Bonita, let's get you out of here and back home, yes?" The bodega owners, Valentina and Tomas, lived in an apartment not too far away. "We don't have a carrier, but maybe we can find a box that isn't all soggy?" she continued, looking at Meggan as the cat climbed into her lap and curled up, making the most of the warmth being projected.

Meggan went to check. The first one was a bit too shallow to be of any use, but the next one looked like it might be helpful. The boxes beneath it had been ruined, but this one was just high enough that it was okay. “A former box of varieties of soups could work?” As she spoke, she was taking out the cans, and checking the depth.

"Perfect," Nica agreed from on top of the shelving. "Put my coat in the bottom to make it comfy? I don't really need it, it's just for show." She nodded towards the woolen duffle coat tossed carelessly over the counter. "And some treats so she doesn't jump out as soon as we put her in?"

Meggan smoothed out the coat, and then put a small trail of snacks to the box. As Bonita ate, she could only shrug. “That’s the best lure there could be!” She also put five more in the corner of the box, so the cat could have a good allotment of treats to occupy her while she was brought to her home. “Good girl, Bonita,” she praised when it looked like she was wasn’t going to be obstinate about getting in. She was just kneading the wool at the front, though.

Nica meanwhile had floated back down to the floor when Bonita had left her lap in favour of treats. "C'mon, kitty-kitty, she crooned, crouching next to the box and putting her warmly glowing hand inside to encourage the cat to climb all the way in. "There's a girl. Don't you want to go home?"

With a loud purr, Bonita followed the light the rest of the way inside the box, and got to work on the next treat she found. “Good girl,” Meggan cooed.

I got my pap smear results this week but when I went to my doctor's office to talk to her about them she wasn't there, even though according to the clinic app she was supposed to be there until late in the evening :/ so I'll probably make an appointment for next week. I've been taking the supplements she recommended me but they make me soooo gassy and give me diarrhea like straight up liquid coming out of my asshole. I don't even think I'd ever had diarrhea like that before I started taking it. My bf said it might be a temporary side effect, while my body adjusts to it, and judging by what I found online he might be right. The last couple of days have been better, it's usually worse in the morning right after I wake up. I'll bring it up to my doctor next week but by that time it'll probably pass.

TOMORROW my best friend will come to the city, her final exam is on the 2nd of July and then on the 4th she'll present her BA thesis ❤ I'm so proud she's finally breaking free of the curse of this university lol I got her a birthday baggy - some trinkets I bought & hand-made (a calico kitty made out of clay in the image of her oldest cat, and a blue heart with yellow stars, both of which have been turned into fridge magnets), some candles, slime creatures, some small cosmetics (heart shaped soap & a watermelon lip mask) etc. I don't even know what else I put in that bag but I'm so excited to finally give it to her. I'm kind of nervous to hang out with her & her bf again tbh and idrk why, it's not fair to feel this way for no particular reason towards my best friend but I suppose and hope it's just excitement 👉👈 I feel some pressure to take them to some nice places in the city now that it's summer and everything looks awesome thanks to the trees and the clear blue sky or with its fluffy white clouds, but other than the riverside, the park, the big hill in the city center, and maybe the botanical garden idk many other "visitable" places. I do want to go to the botanical garden though... I haven't been in ages and I don't even think I've ever been in the summer.

I've been reading a lot lately, I feel disinterested in pretty much everything else, like movies or TV shows. I'm super caught up in this old book I'm reading rn (from the online used books store 😘) and it's just exciting to read super old books that I know next to nothing about. Well, if they turn out to be good too, that is. And most of the time they do!

Today I had a prettyyy full day, woke up early partly out of habit, partly because I was expecting the regular morning call on the way to work from my bf. Did some yoga FINALLY, washed my comforter and my sneakers, swept the floor, had a nice breakfast (canned tuna + parsley + black olives + hot pepper paste + olive oil, wrapped in lettuce leaves like sarma 🤭), went shopping for a small backpack cause I can NAWT be a tote bag woman anymore. I mean I'll remain loyal to my tote bags for the most part, but some occasions call for a more practical means of transportation for my trinkets and objects. Made some wings and parmesan fries in the air fryer (as someone whose oven is sentient AND evil and out to get me, I feel blessed to have finally joined the air fryer crowd and I can kind of understand why it felt like people who owned one could not seem to stop talking about theirs before I had one too... I'll never do that though. But I get it kinda), and I was honestly ready to watch a horror movie, but my book just seems so much more enticing. So I'll return to her.

I do need to work out more today, and then have an everything shower. But maybe a little nap won't hurt. Just a small very short one.
