I was pondering a lot rencently if there would be any way to sculpt Vasco so the 2 figures could interact in some meaningful way. Seeing this little comic inspired me to quickly plop the test file into a rendering software :D

Stackable cats

New chunk guy

Members of carnivora paired with their common ancestor, a miacid. 

[ID: Four art pieces showing a lion, a seal, a wolf, and a bear beside their common ancestor, a miacid, who looks a bit like a large weasel. They’re each drawn in realistic style, in matching poses. /End ID].

Oh I love them

Fondly remembering the time that a cat owner casually entered their calico Maine Coon in a cat fancier’s competition and the judges lost their minds because the cat was 1) male and 2) able to bear children

Anyway here’s Dawntreader Texas Calboy as a silly lil kitten

Here’s an excerpt from one of the articles about the drama his entry caused among the Cat Fanciers that I thought was very earnest and sweet <3

And also some of Calboy’s children!

@pangur-and-grim

He is fearfully and wonderfully made!

I was about to say he would technically be an intersex king (not because I dislike the concept of trans cats, just bc intersex rep is sorely needed too) but I did some more reading on this icon and actually found the article OP referenced.

He’s not your usual male calico kitty as it turns out. That’s already cool and rare, but he’s even cooler and rarer than that!

Calboy is a chimera!! Which is really fucking cool of you ask me. The chances of having a male calico this way are slim to none, but the mad lad still exists! What an icon. I would die for Calboy.

Everyone in the tags of this post @ cat show judges

Originally I was looking for an adult picture of Calboy

(He’s so pretty 🥰)

But I also found a source for the article screenshotted above! And folks it’s WILD. It’s an incredibly interesting read if you happen to love hearing about niche hobby drama. It’s also just a fantastically written article!

The parts I find the most interesting are about how conservative the cat fanciers association is. This isn’t even all of the parts that talk about that.

People are so mad about this cat spefically because he has female colors. An animal who couldn’t choose how it was born. This is happening in Texas by the way. Hm. I wonder how they treat trans people over there?

Reblogging again for this crucial addition

wait i’m sorry

people are being transphobic. towards a cat.

what the actual fuck.

Also, not to derail, but “You know, we don’t let three-legged cats in here either”

Well, to put it politely, “Screw you and every single one of you who make that sort of decision”

Year of the Dragon Girlfriend!!
