Fuzzbutts: Prissy's Parents (Patreon)
Content
Priscilla's parents, Shari and Calvin Sinclaire. They're a bit of an odd couple.
Firstly, large predators generally don't date smaller animals. It's partly an ego thing, big carnivores are meant to be tough and dominating, thus it's seen as undignified to "lower oneself" by accommodating a small partner (eg. squatting to be at their eye level, eating off their tiny plates and cups, etc). There's also the very real danger of a large carnivore hurting a smaller partner by accident....so most animals aim for love somewhere within their size range....and often, preferably within their own species.
Welp, Shari was out with the girls at a bachelorette party one night when they noticed a teeny sphynx kitty entirely out of place in the large carnivore section, sipping a whiskey and shooting Shari nervous glances when he thinks she's not looking. Giggling to themselves, the lionesses dare Shari to go talk to him.....if she isn't too chicken, of course. Shari hmphs and says something like "I'm gonna snap that twink like a toothpick". And you know what? She did. And they lived happily ever after.
(Calvin tells the story differently....He recalls being approached by a gorgeous golden mountain of a woman probably hoping to intimidate him into bolting and earning a laugh from her friends....upon which he flipped the script, asked her to dance, then dipped that pretty pretty 300 pound predator, right there on the dance floor. Who's the flustered one now?)
Calvin is hopelessly smitten with his giant wife and writes her sonnets to this day. Shari adores her teeny husband and is happy to carry him around when he tires of keeping up with her longer strides (or is just lazy), and dote on him and give all the kissies to his handsome wrinkly face. Shari brings home the (metaphorical) bacon, while Calvin works from home as a novelist. He was also an enthusiastic stay-at-home dad when their sole, much beloved kitten Priscilla was born.
(The general rule of reproduction in Fuzzbutts is that any two sapient animals can have children, so long as the size difference is not too extreme (eg. a mouse and a moose can't reproduce). The child will always be the same species as one of the parents, not both. A lion/housecat couple has a 50/50 chance of producing either a kitten or a lion cub. Hybrids are very rare, and cannot occur unless two species are genetically similar enough for hybridization to be possible in our world (eg. a horse and a donkey can produce a mule offspring).
