Feline Flexibility
Added 2022-09-28 19:16:26 +0000 UTCGot a couple days off work because of Hurricane Ian. Urging my fellow Florida folk to stay safe throughout the storm!
Big cats value strength, and Shari is no exception. A lifetime of good diet and plenty of exercise have left her ridiculously strong, fit, and flexible, even now, in her late 50s. Shari has tried for many years to teach Priscilla how liberating and empowering a good hour long session with a punching bag or weight rack can be- but poor Pris is a teeny housecat, and some of her mother's barbells are 10 times her own weight. Priscilla detests getting sweaty or dealing with post-workout sore muscles....but she does like spending time with mom. So the pair compromise with light yoga a few times a month. For Pris, the exertion is worth it just to have the chance to speak with her mother and hear her sagely life advice (always delivered in Shari's soothing low, rumbly voice), or just to have somebody to vent to. Pris is a little kitty living in a big big world, her stresses and woes (eg. running her spa, trying to maintain friendships, dealing with the loneliness and directionlessness of adulthood) are infinite. Fortunately, Shari's a great listener. Even if she chuckles at Pris' freak-outs over how to file small business taxes ("AH, I made a typo on the form! The IRS is coming to arrest me as we speak, mom!!), or is sometimes a bit too invasive about when exactly Pris is planning on settling down and getting married. Priscilla and Shari are mother and daughter, but also good friends~

Good question! Um, I have no idea. Priscilla does share genetics with Shari, we can see that they have the same eye color, and that unlike her dad, Priscilla's skin is pinkish-grey. This is because Shari has pinkish-grey skin underneath her fur. Were you to shave Shari (if you dare), you'd find she and Pris have a fairly strong resemblance indeed. I think were Priscilla to reproduce, her children would have about a 50% chance of being a sphinx cat like herself, and a 50% chance of being whatever species the other parent is. There is a TINY chance of her being able to produce a lion cub, I'm talking ridiculously low odds. But. The chances of this happening go up if Priscilla was to partner with a lion. With a lion partner, the odds are now lessened for a sphinx kitten offspring, and increased for a lion cub offspring. This is something mixed-species couples have to keep in mind when it comes to having kids, so nobody accidentally gets pregnant with a different-species baby too big for them to safely carry to term.

2022-10-01 01:46:46 +0000 UTCI hope yall stay safe down there!! I love Shari sm,, I need a friend like her ;v; I remember you mentioning that in the case of sorta mixed relationships where an offspring is still possible, the offspring would generally be one or the other. Would Pris still share genetics with Shari and just not be a lion? And if she hypothetically had any kids, could they possible be lions? I apologize if this is bring too much irl logic to a fun fantasy world ^^;
