I was just subjected to an ad for grammarly, and that wasn't even the worst part.
They mentioned an essay about the art history of cats that opened "It all started in Ancient Egypt"
Firstly how DARE you forget THEM.

A set of references of OCs from my Perfidy headworld. I'm just going to be honest and admit that I traced a lot of these off of my old artworks of these characters since I have gotten significantly worse at drawing in a semi-realistic style in recent years.

[ID: A set of five digital reference sheets of different feral canines and felines. Each ref features two fullbodies of the character (one facing left and one right), and a headshot. The background is always a colorful gradient. The characters are: Agatha, a brown-and-cream wolf with blue eyes and prominent cheekbones; Arcane; a black wolf with grey toes and a roman nose; Blister; an elderly dull-brown wolf with dark teal eyes and missing ear tips; Agrarr, a golden-coated teenage cheetah with a distinct mane or her head and neck; Ehon, a dark brown cave lion with green eyes and cream markings and Libby; a reddish brown she-wolf with a distinct mane and pale green eyes.

Caturday Special: Homotherium
A recreation of Homotherium serum, it is believed it was a plains hunter, and so would likely have had a very drab coat, much like modern lions. Most of the specimens I can see seem to be lacking tailbones so they are depicted with short tails. It’s a beautiful cat, that’s for sure.

The “Panel of the Lions” in Chauvet Cave.
Cave lions hunting
by Tom Björklund
The lion died up to 50,000 years ago, but was found perfectly preserved in the frosty ground
Scientists in the frigid Russian republic of Yakutia revealed an impressive find: the remains of an extinct cave lion cub, likely hidden in permafrost, or permanently frozen ground, for thousands of years.
Meet the Cave Lions!
After spending a good amount of time with them, I would like to introduce our cave lions! As always, I won’t be using their “real” or personal names (and due to the nature of these spirits, they did not have any in the first place).
Camy is our male North American cave lion (Panthera leo atrox). He stands approximately 4 feet at the shoulder, with a total length of almost 7 feet (nose to tail-tip) and weighing around 950 pounds. He has thick, golden fur with light rosettes on his belly and legs, as well as darker markings on his face and an unusual reddish ruff around his neck. His eyes are a magnificent dark gold and his favourite noise to make is almost akin to a low howl.
Camy has amazing tracking skills as well as powerful protection magick. He is one of our best protectors, and has earned the nickname “tank” by our Head of Defence.
Mella is our female Eurasian cave lion (Panthera leo spelaea). She stands approximately 3 feet at the shoulder, with a total length of 6 feet (nose to tail-tip) and weighing around 750 pounds. She has thick, pale ashy fur with a faint stripes on her belly and legs, as well as darker markings on her face. Her eyes are a gorgeous pale gold and her favourite noise to make is a soft chuffing sound.
Mella is fantastic with defensive and offensive magick, providing motherly protection to those she cares for. She is extremely quick and stealthy for her size, with a takedown rate of 95%!
Camy and Mella have a healthy litter together consisting of two boys and two girls, and all of us here at the sanctuary are very excited to see how they’ll turn out!
I met these two first in a dream, then as they approached my home. They are what we consider local spirits, and likely passed away either nearby or in the territory above my province. They are absolutely wonderful to work with, and I am so glad I can provide a comfortable, safe home for them and their cubs!
