Whoa, I just traveled around and personally saw some of the damage the recent tornadoes caused. Scary. The builder I work for has a feature called hurricane/tornado room, where a family can secure itself. But, the tornado hit at 4am, when everyone was sleeping. So...does that mean that every time there is a violent storm at night, the whole family has to sleep in the one tiny room?!
We don't really get that many tornadoes down here in Florida, but yeah, when they happen, instant damage. We had a mild hurricane season last year, so this was Nature's way to balance it out, I guess. I hope my Florida readers are all okay.
You cat people. Just get a dog. Bwah. Okay, so we have the male dog whining thing going but that's nowhere near as bad as yowling. And, I've never used a rotating Q-tip on my female furbabees, thank goodness. Squick!
But you see, that's the kind of research a writer must ingest because she needs authentic worldbuilding. I was thinking, if the shapeshifter is a female cat, would she go in heat every freaking two weeks?! That would be horrible for the poor heroine. And tough to write about! Furthermore, the queen (female cat) is a bit on the promiscuous side, mating with numerous willing dandies for five whole days, so that could be a problem with the mating for life sort of romance we like to read, eh?!
Then, I found out about the TEASER TOM. He is the stud muffin without the sperm. Oh my. He's gone through vasectomy but his testicles and barbed hoohoo are intact, so he can still perform. He has one job--to pleasure the queen while she's in heat without inpregnating her. Five times a day, if necessary! Whoa.
Bear with me while I learn. The first button likes the POST. The second button likes the BLOG site. Please help me by "liking" me. Thanks!

not to worry, they have tornado alarm systems like these http://gmocart4.gmotion.com/store/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=homesafetornado&Product_Code=tornado&Category_Code=tornado http://www.xdigi.net/
Lots of people talking about alarms down here right now. Same thing happened after that year (was it three ago?) when we had that really bad season with three hurricanes coming through week after week. Many homes didn't have electricity for days and weeks, and after that, everyone who could afford it installed giant gas generators outside their homes to be ready for next time. They hadn't had to use it once the last three years. Those generators aren't cheap either--thousands!
Yea, my parents bought a generator and the hurricane shutters and haven't used them.
