    SHE'S LOST CONTRL

    Catherine: "Dogs love to run around in the garden! And the mountains too!! Hyaa I can't take it anymore!!"
    Sara: "You're a dog-wolf! Anyway, that cat should be curled up in a kotatsu gya---!?"
    As a backup plan, Catherine's mom handed over her leash to Sara, but it backfired. Let's pray for her.

    ...

    No!
    Nooo!
    Sorry for not posting. I was aiming to return within a month, but by the time I noticed, it was already February... It's really late, but I finally finished setting up my new PC's work environment!
    ...For some reason I couldn't connect to the internet, and things that should have been really simple took a long time... orz
    Anyway, once I'm able to work out the last details, I should make my full return. The OS environment is different, so it'll be hard in a lot of ways.
    I'm shooting to start up the Karindou 4 koma again in 2 weeks, so please wait a little longer! By the way, a bunch of snow fell and piled up on my car, but when morning came, it was oddly soft like always! I wonder if the dogs were running around.

    Odd how only the dog-like side has "feral instincts". She doesn't build a nest or anything. (And Sara doesn't hibernate through winter or gorge herself once a week then digest for days on end, for that matter, either...)

    It's been a long time but I trhink I recall rakurakutei mentioning she couldn't fly. I forget whether there was a listed reason, due to body mass or the lack of balancing tail or merely " can't fly yet." Perhaps her avian instincts are recessive.

    Actually, I remember seeing her fly at the end of the "Can't Laugh School" series. (post #1382731)

    Whether she can fly or not wouldn't really have anything to do with whether she has bird-like instincts, though. Not all birds fly, after all. Nor was there anything dog-like that suddenly grew when she started strongly exhibiting dog-like instincts such as going into heat.

    Rationally speaking, flight isn't really easy, and requires the like of lightweight bones, and either a huge wingspan compared to mass, or else phenomenally stacked muscles. Those "chubby" songbirds are actually made up mostly of pectoral muscle to pump their wings - on a human, it'd be like having pecs three solid feet thick.
