earlier today I was helping my mom set up the treadmill and getting it running right before I set to work on fursuit stuff....
Teasing Maverick (the, now adult, brown kitten I bottle raised) who had never seen the treadmill on went awry as I went to pick him up to put him on it (it was going a half mile an hour, super slow so it would not have hurt him) as he sat and looked at it he seemed curious not scared... I did not realize he was scared.
I barely touched him, did not even have my hands around him yet, just touched him and he freaked out into a ball of claws and kicked up with his back feet and clawed me deep on the palm and pinky of my left hand, it bled all over.
I am all cleaned, medicated and wrapped up now with a gauze pad and bandage wrap left over from my sister's leg injury...and done crying... well still kind of wanting to cry because of the pain and stupidity of it.
Hopefully this will be a minor setback, but the claw marks are decently deep (had them this deep multiple times before, just not on my hand, luckily I am not prone to infection) and one is right in the fortune teller crease, a fold and stretch area, and thus will take extra time to heal... he also took a decent amount of skin off either side of the scratches since these were his thicker duller back claws...
so yeah, ow... not using my hand much, and it may be my left and I am a righty but one does not realize how much they use their secondary hand until it hurts >_0

Selling some of my personal costumes
You can find them for sale here https://www.thedealersden.com/search/other-items/?username=beastcub&user_id=105686 - - - I hate to sell these but my roof is 20 years overdue for a replacement and we sprung multiple leaks in the record rain California received over the winter, and now an El Nino may be heading our way, and so I badly need to replace it, but it is going to be roughly $50k!!! I had the money almost all saved up for it, but after a sewer line disaster, a neighbor's tree limb falling on our car, having our giant mostly dead 200 year old cottonwood tree removed after it proved itself dangerous after a mere piece of it's bark punched a hole in my shed roof (I loved that tree, RIP) and having to replace the HVAC units on both the main house and the addition, all in the span of 10 months, I don't have the funds anymore. And so, since my sister and I have mostly retired from conventions and events we are selling some of our personal costumes to scrape up a deposit for the

notes on using a ballcap as a fursuit base
The ball cap method is something I came up with over a decade ago due to my need of glasses and issues with the usual methods of balaclavas and elastic straps setting off my claustrophobia.
It has come to my attention another maker has been using hats inside their fursuit heads and they are doing it all wrong (using small sized floppy hats with a sliding adjuster, only sewing the hood to the hat in one small spot, and not attaching the hat to the resin base at all let alone putting any foam in the gap, just one of these can lead to a disaster of a fit and this person is doing all of the above) and now I am hearing "built on a baseball hat" u
Fursuit commissions open now
Ok, so, I had a minor pose as an adult to commission me and fraudulently use their mother's credit card, the paypal case has been in review for over a month and it is still not resolved, and if the case is not found in my favor I will loose the spent deposit and face some financial worry.
As a precaution I wish to cover said funds now and thus I will be open to give quotes to potential new clients from now to June 8th, I will then select my lucky new clients June 9th. (This opening is a bonus opening, my usual opening in August is still happening.)
For a quote email me at thebeastcub@gmail.com please only email me if you are ready to commit

actually, that's not too bad of a reason for your hand to be clawed. the other day i pretty much skinned my knee/cut it open because i kept running into a tree repeatedly XD. i was not trying to harm myself, it was part of some game my friends came up with called "tree tag". Needless to say the tree that was base had very rough bark.
