a few random observations from today's pose-hunting:
There are less poses than I would have expected of a child and an adult cat (yes, there's a lot more than are tagged "child & cat" on ts4-poses / the masterlist tag is incorrect, but still less than I would have expected.)
I am absolutely shocked that no one seems to have made any poses of a cat that's unhappy about being picked up??? (Or even just unhappy about having their belly touched / being pet in general.) Idk, this feels like such a common cat thing, that you'd think someone would have made poses about it by now. Especially bc there's comedic potential of like, a sim's partner who doesn't know anything about cats trying and getting scratched. (Not at all what I was looking for, but something I thought would have been made, given simblr's dedication to only making couple poses, lmao.)
Honestly, the closest thing I can find to any kind of unhappy cat poses are @herecirmsims's Cat Attack / Cat Familiar #2 poses, plus one of a cat that fell in a bathtub. (Once again Sari, you seem to be the pose savior.)
(Also, btw, if you ever need solo cat poses @rebouks and @herecirmsims have you covered. SO many good ones. Also can't recommend the Cat Nap poses by @theserenadeofshadows enough. They're so cute, and there's a version with a child!!! Those are actually the ones I used for Avra and Macha, and I've been meaning to do the same with Rook and Lady Kiriona on the window seat in Zara's cabin.)
I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm glad the sims cats are happy. I'm upset at what my brain came up with for an idea, but still. Interesting.
Hm. Maybe I need to make some cat poses. I literally have thousands of reference pictures on my phone, and thousands more with my parents if I need them.
