If I ever become a detective and see that a victim has a cat, you bet your ass I'm going to check for its DNA/hair at/on crime scenes, cars, people,etc. Because I know that cats hair will be anywhere the victim has been since it's on their clothes almost all the time.

What? This case is cold because you couldn't find the victims dna is a car? Check for cat hair and cross reference with the one the victim has. Boom! Case solved!

Ok. So it's been a week.

We started out with surprise kittens. They look to be in good condition, but we had to move their spot. Mom disappeared. We set up a game camera to see if she came back. She did.. but then disappeared for an entire day. Then she came back at night. Has been mostly gone during the day-I've been chalking it up to heavier activity around the barn.

Today, Friday, she disappeared again. The babies have been screaming since last night. I checked in on them a few times throughout the day, leaving several hours in between to let the momma come and go. Every time, the kittens have been more and more insistent for food. Crying and climbing and even trying to suckle on my fingers and face.

I brought a bottle down with me in case I found them hungry still but hoped I would find momma in the act of caring for her kids.

I did not.

I tried to share the bottle between them, hoping to sate them enough to wait for mom. They sucked the bottle dry in a matter of minutes. Still crying for more.

I made the decision to bring them in and care for them. It might not be the 'right' decision, but I'm confident in it. I fear mom isn't able to care for the babies. She might not have enough milk, is an indoor/outdoor cat and keeps getting stuck inside, or isn't as good a mother as I had thought she was. I also fear, as the babies become more mobile, they will leave the safety of the box and feed stall and walk around and possibly be stepped on by a horse, or get taken by a larger creature. I brought them in.

I made 3 extra bottles. They sucked down 2 1/2 more. They got so milk drunk! They were quiet for the first time all day. I feel confident in my decision, but I still feel bad for kit-napping the babies from their momma.

I am Thinking about Things.

[wills-woodland-warriors]

@liberhoe what do you think the genders of fadingflea kits are? I feel like PoppyKit and AmaranthKit are definitely girls (totally not saying this because I already started writing a fic-) but I wasn’t sure if you mentioned for the others?  

sorry if this doesn’t make sense, my phone is dying so I’m trying to type fast

[minifixations]

So.

My aunt's cat had kittens and she said that if I could grab one I could keep it. I tried bribing it with food for the week I was visiting(we live in different states) but failed. I didn't have to bribe just the cat I wanted tho, oh no. I had to bribe the dad, Mom, Grandpa and other 3 kittens(They probably are around 2 packs of lunch meat not including the chicken, meatballs and strawberries I gifted them) if I wanted the blue eyed kitten I wanted to trust me. I figured that if the parents trust me around their kids the chances of the babies doing so increased.

One morning when I was awoken by my aunties search for coffee, I had a thought.

Do kittens(and other baby animals for that matter) remember their family? Do they feel bitter that you took them from their mother's warmth? Do they realize theirs nothing they can do and just tolerate you? It's any and all acts of love they then show in the future just that, an act? Do they forgive you for thrusting then into a new environment? Do they really just "get over it" as I've heard others say? Do they get a scene of bittersweet nostalgia when they see other kittens or catch specific scents?

Final thoughts: I feel bad now but I still really want a cat. I am now trying to justify my wants by saying adopting a cat gives them a home and having a home is better than staying with family who more likely then not will be forced to leave you as well.

I just found my old, original warrior cats inspired story private blog and it's crazy.

[wildshadowtamer]

so, doing an event dice rolled warriors au, just ended arc 3. tigerstar's still leader but has recently started corrupting (thanks, brokentail), swiftflight (paw) has been executed for the murders of brackenfur and spiderleg, crowfoot (feather) has been outed as sorreltail's mate but rejected by her and instead honeyfern and daisyheart (cinderheart) moved to windclan, so nightcloud decided she was better off without any of them and ran off to where purdy, sol, and squirrelflight are.

oh and it was sootfur and foxpaw that got all of this revealed.

Gingerheart/star of (AU) ThunderClan! @castiels-destiny

A fiery blaze will unite the clans,

A messenger of StarClan brings new hope.

Fun fact her name was Gingersnap for some reason and until someone pointed out that it was a type of cookies 😭😭😭 (i sort of registered it in my brain when i made it that name but i didnt remember what exactly were they)

Anyways her backstory is based off a bunch of roleplays i did, Gingerkit was born to Sandbreeze (originally it was Sandstorm I think, but i changed it to not cause confusion with the other TC Sandstorm) and had two other littermates, Tigerkit, Songkit, and Whitekit. (all were played by diff people, idk if those were their original names)

One night, a rogue named Shade came into ThunderClan camp and started to kidnap (kitnap?) them one by one, Songkit, then Whitekit, who managed to escape, and then one day when Tigerkit and Gingerkit were together, the rogue grabbed her by the scruff. However, Gingerkit managed to get her claws on his face and he let go, dropping her. She scrambled to tell her mother, but she didn't believe her, and the rogue got away.

Sandbreeze then realized that Songkit was missing, and a patrol had found her dead body, drowned in a river. And after all her remaining kits told her about the same rogue, she finally believed them.

When it was time for her to become an apprentice, Gingerkit wanted to be a medicine cat apprentice because she would constantly hang around the medicine den and learn about herbs, as well as having dreams from StarClan, of the prophecy (at the top). She was told she couldn't because there were too many, Featherleg and Bluepaw were already the medicine cats. (Also Featherleg recieved that prophecy during Dappledfur/star’s leadership ceremony)

She was apprenticed to Honeyfur, and after a moon, the medicine cats had gone missing. (i have no clue where they went in the rp, they just disappeared and came back a long time after) Dappledstar decided that instead of borrowing a medicine cat from another clan, she would appoint Gingerpaw as a new medicine cat. A few moons later, the medicine cats returned, and Gingerpaw was made a warrior apprentice one more. Her littermates became warriors faster than her, due to the lost time. A few moons after she became warrior, she would have an apprentice.

During gatherings, she would make friends with all sorts of cats from other clans, and disliked the fighting between the clans. After a particularly harsh leaf-bare and during a famine, Gingerheart had another dream, of a StarClan cat telling her of the prophecy again, and Gingerheart realized the need of a messenger, someone that could be fast and provide resources like herbs to the other clans. When a medicine cat wasn't fast enough. She was the messenger of StarClan, and she must unite the clans.

She told Dappledstar and Cloudripple (the deputy) about this idea, and they agreed. She did have experience with herbs, and she was fast. Gingerheart would also resolve conflicts with other clans as well, and at the next gathering, they announced this new role named ambassador. (the mediator role was created after i created the ambassador role...)

She would travel amongst the clans and do her job, until one day she was hunting a squirrel. Gingerheart caught the squirrel, landing in the middle of a thunderpath, her left leg outstretched, when suddenly she noticed a monster driving towards her. She tried to scramble away, but it was too late, crushing her left front leg and damaging it out of repair.

Gingerheart had to spend many moons resting in the medicine den, but she didn't give up, exercising and learning to overcome her disability, wanting to return to her role as she knew cats needed her help.

She eventually does, and during one trip, she discovered some loners living in barn. Gingerheart meets a loner named Eclipse and her family, noticing how they treated her badly, belittling her and making her an outcast. (they’re canonically homophobic)

She would stay there for a few days because of a storm, and they were friendly and welcoming to her. Gingerheart also falls in love with Eclipse during her stay. Gingerheart tells them of clan life, and Eclipse is interested, wanting to leave her family, who protest. Eclipse tells Gingerheart that she had weird dreams of a fiery cat saving her, and she would rescue Eclipse from her family, adventuring back to ThunderClan.

They get attacked by a fox, and they fight it off, but they get injured. Gingerheart knew that they were close to ThunderClan camp, so she carried Eclipse on her back, fighting through her injuries, despite Eclipse’s protests. They get to the camp, and Gingerheart collapses, waking up later in the medicine cat den to Blueflower scolding her, as well as Eclipse and her littermates looking at her with concern.

After she heals from her injuries, she tells Dappledstar about Eclipse’s wishes, and she makes her a warrior, despite some cats protesting. Eclipse and Gingerheart become mates.

After a few moons, a threat comes to the clans as cats start to die and get sick mysteriously. Gingerheart recieves a sign from StarClan of deathberries sitting in the center of a five pointed leaf and shows it to Blueflower, who interprets it as something poisoning the clans. The clans argue with each other, accusing each other of poisoning their prey, leading to a fight at the gathering. Gingerheart and other warriors try to get them to stop, but they continue, until StarClan clouds the moon, bringing rain and thunder as lightning strikes one of the trees, ending the gathering.

Gingerheart eventually figures out it was the Twolegs poisoning the prey and polluting the water, leading to the sickness and deaths. However, the clans were in a war, and she had to get the help of her friends from the other clans, convincing them and showing them her evidence, and them convincing their leaders.

Cloudripple becomes leader after Dappledstar loses her last life during one of the battles. He offers Gingerheart the role of deputy, but she refuses. Seasons pass, and she’s offered it multiple times as deputies change, until finally, she gives in, becoming deputy but also still being ambassador.

Seasons pass, diseases, threats, rogues try to take down the clans but they stay strong. Cloudstar passes, and Gingerheart becomes the new leader of ThunderClan.

One day, Eclipse and Gingerstar recieve a message from StarClan.

Go back to the forest, and follow the northern warrior in the sky. Find the three lost clans and dispell the darkness plaguing them before it spreads to the lake.

The prophecy is about StormClan, StoneClan, and SunClan of course, and they have to travel back to the forest territory and north of it to find the three clans. They must follow the North Star Polaris and fight the group of rogues naming themselves DarkClan who are killing the clan cats.

okay holy shit that was long asf

heres old art of Gingerstar and also Eclipse

[mud-castle]

why's kitnapping considered attractive in the dm!au?

Because kitnapping is a practice only carried out by the most skilled older warriors with the express permission of the leader. It's a show of strength and intelligence to successfully pull one off, and generally not something you want to do alone. It is a dangerous and noble art.

Contrary to popular belief, cats are not solitary creatures. Most rogues exist in some sort of group, generally their family. And if you've seen a pissed mama cat protecting her kits, well, warrior or not, things can go south rather quickly, especially when she has backup, and especially when you're in their land.

In fact, most new leaders lead a kitnapping after getting their lives to show their competence. And if you really wanna give the clan something to talk about, you steal kittypet kits. (There are very complicated feelings about Bluestar leading a kittypet kitnapping in the dead of a really bad winter. Some are positive because it went well, but there's some negative tension as the risk outweighed the reward)

So you have a warrior who's just shown off all their skills in the coolest way possible and presents their spoils to you to show their love?? Hot af.

Having a warrior solo a mission successfully and offering the kits to you? HOT AF

(Also, had Squilf not been successful, it would've backfired on both her and her family's reputation HARD. She took a huge risk, and luckily it paid off.)
