Pounce! Hee, hee, cute!

POUNCE
hehehehe

You're home!
*ouch*ouch*ouch*
(Yes, seven of eight ends of a chakat are pointy.)

You capture the proportions of Chakats so well.

I don't see any sheaths!!

Chakats actually don't have them exactly. They just get drawn that way a lot. Their junk is pretty subtle.

You need to re-read "Transformations", Dale has problems going to the bathroom because of it.

Described as more of a "pouch" in the Intro to Chakats as I recall, which is to say, closer to the belly, which makes them less obvious (though Garrek's confusion; a sheath like we see on most animals with them would be REALLY obvious on the short-furred Goldie.) But it'd still serve the same function as a sheath. I should've been way, way clearer.

Here's the paragraph in question from the Intro:

The penis is sheathed and is slightly further forward than normal so as not to interfere with the vaginal area. It lacks any feline traits such as barbs to stimulate ovulation or any so-called "cock-knot" as these are adaptations designed to enhance conception amongst animals in the wild and are completely unnecessary in an intelligent species. Aside from the fact that it is designed to rest in a sheath, the chakat penis is rather human-like, although it is slightly longer (about 17 - 19cm or 6.8" - 7.5") and about 50% thicker (about 5 - 6cm or 2 - 2.4") than human average, in proportion to their body size. Size comparisons should not be made to big cats like tigers for example, because chakats are hybrids and not true felines, and their sexual equipment was designed to be compatible with humans and their perceptions of what would be desirable. There are no external genitalia as this particular male vulnerability has been dealt with by eliminating the need for the testes to be kept at a slightly lower temperature in order to produce fertile sperm, therefore allowing them to be safely tucked inside. Chakats must extrude their penis in order to urinate in the male manner.

As for showing up: Check out the cover art for Forest Tales.

Well, chakat art comes in such variety that I don't trust* any particular picture or artist to have the "official" version. Different anatomy looks good in different contexts. But that's a minor quibble.

I could have sworn the "pouch" thing was in there (er, so to speak, gah). Maybe it was changed in the considerable time since I last read the Intro, or maybe I imagined it. Either way, I'm wrong now, and apologize to RGibson. Thanks!


*Not that I don't trust chakat artists. I mean that there are lots of completely different versions and levels of realism that all look "right". You would never mistake a handpaw as drawn by Roy Pounds, Kacey or Tied Tigress for anyone else's, but they all work.

Any particular artist? What about Goldfur? :)


Goldie has also tended to say that Kacey's interpretation of Chakats is the most true to hir vision.

Beautiful action shot!! Love those chakats!!

Although I'm sure it'll become clear later, are you able to share the names of these 'kats?

Candycane and Pixiepaws.
