The backyard is full of baby birds, and they all come down to the pond. Here's a Baltimore Oriole with two young ones. A Rosebreasted Grosbeak watches on, his offspring came later. This clip I recorded with a CY95 trailcam. I'm fairly new to trailcams but I love the video quality, and that it comes with a solar panel!

[bonefall]

so the cats know they’re being watched eventually yes? would they ever try to throw the experiments by changing behavior or mess with equipment besides the collars?

If they knew they were being monitored by the cameras they ABSOLUTELY would, but thankfully, they don't have a concept of cameras. They don't understand that a trailcam means they're being watched, if that makes sense.

They DO see the team sometimes, recording them. To them though, binoculars and cameras may as well be the same thing. There's never been a logical leap to "the cameras can let the humans see us when there are no humans here."

Forest Four interacting with cameras usually means indifference. Guarded wariness. If they wanted to throw results, they would dismantle them entirely. It happens, sometimes! But only when they feel stressed from seeing too many human things around.

SKYCLAN however is full of Funny Guys who would love to be goofballs in front of cameras and ruin results. They would make EXCELLENT subjects for proving that Clan cats act differently when they know they're being watched vs when they don't know, just like humans.

{I'm posting this early draft I made of an SCP idea I've had for a few years here. I'll say more at the end.}

Camera Trap - an SCP-inspired concept

This anomaly is a multitude of cameras of any model that can 'capture' any living being (excluding plants & fungi). The captured being(s) disappear(s) from reality then reappear(s) in the photos & footage taken by the camera. When the photos or footage are viewed for the first time by a person, they will see when the victim(s) was/were first captured. When viewed again, the background stays but instead the victim(s) will change positions.

In the photos, the victim(s) will be seen in different still positions, like what you expect to see in photographs. In the videos, the victim(s) will be seen moving independently & normally. It has been noticed that victims cannot leave the area they were captured in, and time does not seem to pass for them. For example: If a victim was captured in daytime, it will always be daytime for them; and if they were captured at night, then it will always be nighttime for them.

Human victims are aware of their situation, as they are mostly seen facing at where the camera was placed during their capture. However, animal victims are not aware of their predicament. All they know is that they are somehow trapped.

As for when another person views the photos & footage after someone else has viewed them already, basically, seeing them for the first time will show you the day the victims were captured and then seeing them again will show you what they are doing currently at the time you are viewing them regardless if another first-time viewer is seeing the day the victims were captured even when that's not what you are seeing because you have already seen it. These rules also apply to when two or more people view them.

As of today, there are no known ways to rescue the victims nor even ways to communicate with them.

There can be any number of cameras in one place and they are found all over the world. No one knows whether someone or something has been placing these cameras there or if they just showed up there out of nowhere.

{Incredibly early draft of an article:}

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures: Taken instances of SCP-XXXX are to be kept at Storage Room XXX at Site-XX. The instances' hard drives separated from them on another table. Level 3 access only.

Description: SCP-XXXX is the designation for multiple types of anomalous security cameras & trailcams that are found at random locations across the world. The instances themselves are non-anomalous and have no distinguishable differences from regular security cameras & trailcams. Because of this, people normally pay no attention to them.

SCP-XXXX's anomalous properties manifest when an instance is on. When a living being appears in its field of view, the being stays in the camera's view and can never leave. The victims are then reported missing. There are no traces of the victims when visiting the areas where this had occur. Reviewing the contained SCP's footages reveal this. [See (insert Addendum something something here)]

It is still currently unknown who or what is putting these SCPs all over the world, or if they merely appear out of nowhere.

[Hypothesis: This SCP might be responsible for the creation of (the basketball game recording SCP).] -> this is just me wanting to connect my scp w another scp so pay no mind to this

{I definitely need to learn how to write a proper SCP article. They have all these different sites & rooms & stuff. I can't just make up my own, not especially now that there is so much lore in it. I don't know what proper shit to use for the Special Containment Procedures.

Idk if this would be Euclid or Keter. Probably Keter with how they just pop up anywhere in the world?

I also need to come up with the addenda stuff.

Man, I thought writing a technical paper would be easy. lmao I guess I'm more fit for creative writing, but I'm not writing a tale because that's too intimidating. haha And what if someone already wrote an SCP like this?

I'll figure this out eventually (maybe) some time in the future. I'll look up tutorials or how-to guides on this. If you have experience writing an SCP or two, maybe you can give me some tips?}

Hailstar died. Crookedjaw disappeared over the Moor Clan territory and his chip had the same kind of malfunction/all vitals flaring/whatever that is than Raggedstar and Sunstar had. I swear those guys are having some kind of trial by pain or something to become head of clan.

The other day i was biking around Chelford when I almost ran over Pine Starr, so I stopped and kept going by foot. I then decided to go in the bushes and observe him with my binoculars - I talked to the Starr and most neighbours, they know if they see a weird guy spying on them it’s normal, and I’m only interested by their cats - and crouched behind a tree stump. That’s how I noticed a group of three cats going to the old squat. To be honest tho it’s not been squatted in ages, but it’s still abandonned and in decrepite state.

The three cats were a solid white (with darker ear tips, my binoculars revealed to me) cat, a silver-grey one with long whiskers and a plumy tail, and a... I don’t know? A russian blue maybe? Anyway the last one looks way more blue than any cat should be allowed to be.

I regret not putting a cam in the garden of the squat, because the silver grey slipped in it through the broken fence, while the two others... stood guard? Probably?

Anyway at some point a tortoiseshell cat belonging to the Mitchells (i think?) came wandering around and the other two cats just... started screaming at it and threatening it. The tortoiseshell cat, obviously, didn’t stay long. Then the two other cats went inside the garden too and all three went back to the forest with huge packages of grass in their mouths and between their chin and chest.

I didn’t understand why on earth they would specifically come to town to get grass so I went in the garden and saw that there was a huge part of it covered in catnip, which is known to make felines (and not just cats, lions and panthers too) crazy. Just... the cats were so calm, bringing it back to wherever they went? I don’t know what’s going on. Do they, like... use the catnip for recreationnal use and wanted to be in a safe place before doing it? No that’s way too stupid an explanation.

Still, what else is there?

Some interesting news from my trailcams I reckon, although I’m only ready to talk about it now that I’ve calmed down, mainly thanks to the aid of calming tea (it’s a brewing recipe I got from my mom I might write it down there some day, but in the mean time this is supposed to be a notebook full of notes for my thesis, no my diary).

Remember those trailcams I put at Druid’s Hollow? Well I had stopped them from recording because the number of rabbits, blackbirds etc which crossed their sensors was astounding and also using electricity for naught. But last night was the full moon, and I remembered it was the full moon too when I first stumbled upon all those cats, so I put them on, on recording, and went to bed.

Morning, waking up, completely forgot I had this set up, went to the Mitchells’ for a cup of tea, we’re starting to become good friends. Mr Mitchells works nightshifts and went back home as I was arriving, with hot croissants and cookies from the bakery down the road. As we settled around a cup of tea, Mrs Mitchells told me she had insomnia and had taken on to walk to the edge of the woods last night, and had suddenly understood why people living closer than her from the forest would think it was haunted.

“Why so?” I asked.

“Because” was her response “every full moon there’s an unholy amount of mewing coming from the forest all through the night”

At that point I remembered my cams and sprung up, told them about the set up and my previous encounter, and invited them home to watch the whole thing with me. Mr Mitchells said he was going to sleep after his night shift, but Mrs Mitchells and their visiting student daughter, Eleanor, were interested and came with me.

Put on the recording from one of the cameras. Beginning of the night. FIfteen, maybe more, cats arrive, from the forest, led by a little guy with golden fur I had hunted down and tagged at sunfall and whom I thus named Sunfall, as well as Goosefeather, and the prussian blue, Bluefur as I named her, and a few others I’ll spare you.

Sunfall leaped on the big rock in the center, and all the cats just... kinda waited there. Then the River cats arrived, led by Hailstar,, and then the Moor and Swamp cats arrived too. I’ve got to tag all of those. Eleanor Mitchells pointed at a black and white Moor Cat and said he had been locked in the Crawley house at some point with their cat Jake. So now I know who Jake belongs to at last! I might get my underwear back at some point!

Anyway Hailstar, Cedarstar, Sunfall and Heatherstar... wait. I think I just realized right now that the three cats whom I named “star” were all from a different clan and all leading their groups... OK let’s say I name the leaders “star” and rename Sunfall Sunstar, even if it’s a weird name, because this way I can browse through my notes, look for “star” and know I’m talking about a leader. Yeah also my data showed recently that Sunf...star had started moving on the same patterns as Pinestar did before he left to live at the Appleby’s. I didn’t tag him before three days after Pinestar took permanent residence in town, so maybe it wasn’t instantaneous, but I definitely have to study more my daytime videos of the Forest Group camp.

The four “star” all went to the top of the great rock and, one after the other, just... meowed loudly for a long time. All the other cats just... stared at them. It was... very eery. Then all four went down the rock, cats from all groups started to meddle, for half an hour it was just... cats meowing like it was nobody’s business, then it started raining and all four “star” cats just... meowed very violently and the four groups dispersed.

It feels very much like I’m in a found footage horror movie and am going to be brutally murdered by a bunch of wild cats.

Cut short my log the other day because Snowfur had been hit by a car and I jumped on my bike to see if there was a way to help her, but by the time I was outside my garage, her vitals were all flat.

Ever since, Bluefur’s been staying in camp and Thistleclaw (Snowfur’s mate? I think?) has been avoiding or attacking her on a regular basis.

I don’t know why, but that dark tabby for whom I haven’t decided a name yet, Pinestar’s son, has completely lost it on a poor black kitten who I’m sure is from the Daniels’ housecat? Luckily my dear old Bluefur saved the little guy but boy was that violent!

On an unrelated note, Yellowfang is clearly nearing her term, I can’t wait to see what her kittens look like!

My #1 post of 2022

LOG 1

The other day I was hiking in the forest, going from Allerton to Chelford, and decided to go to Druid’s Hollow while I was at it, which is a landmark signaled in the guides.

Anyway I had greatly underestimated the time it would take to go on foot from Allerton to Chelford, and the sun started to set, which is never a good thing when you’re hiking in a forest you don’t know, but I knew that Druid’s Hollow was straight before me, and there was a dirt road from there to a bridge across the river, and then it was a ten minutes jog to the Morgan Farm camping, so even if I couldn’t find my way to Chelford before the night, I knew there would be people to ask for a ride there or at least a phone to call a taxi not that far from where I was.

The moon was full which might have contributed to the spooky atmosphere, but as I saw the gigantic oaks that formed Druid’s Hollow from afar, I started hearing meowings. Like, much more meowings than cats normally use, I should know, I’ve spent my childhood taking care of cats, both wild and pets, and wild cats generally dont meow if not to kittens. But anyway, I keep going, because, hey, wild cats or not, I’ve got to go there to take the dirtroad to Morgan Farm.

And when I set foot on Druid’s Hollow... there were at least fifty cats, including four on a big rock in the middle. That was... well, Spooky to say the least. But also, there was something about those cats. They all stopped meowing and stared at me. They were... I don’t know how to express it. First thing, they were bigger than any normal wild cats I ever saw. Secondly, they seemed way smarter than normal cats, and normal cats are already smart enough. And thirdly, one of the cats had a completely crooked jaw, an injury no cat would survive in nature, but it was fine and well here, like it had been healed, and sorry but even veterinaries would have trouble healing such an injury - I should know, I interviewed quite a lot during my studies.

So anyway I ran away but I had hesitated too long to pick my thesis subject (I’m a major in nature preservation) and I only have one week left to chose. So I’m pretty sure I’m going to come back there. For research purposes.

I’m writing a thesis on those weird cats.
