"What do foxes look like?"

power-of-friendship

She turns into one!

They're orange and fluffy with a white blaze on the chest! Bright yips like a fox, then turns back into an Amentan.

"That's a full grown one!"

"Oh it's cute!"

"Yeah! They're scared of most humans and usually only come out at night, but they don't mind me and mom!"

"How do they tell? Or do you mean when you're all tentacly?"

"We smell different, I think. Foxes have a good sense of smell. But also if you don't move too fast and you usually have food, they'll get used to individuals."

"That's cool. My mom won't let me get a dog."

"Dogs are a big responsibility, my mom says, 'cause they live a while and you gotta take care of them, and our dogs are hard to take care of in the city sometimes. Foxes are wild, so it's not really like having a pet."

"My mom's worried it'd need something and I wouldn't hear it whining and she'd have to bug me all the time. I said I'd teach it to push a button and she said that could take seasons."

"I think our dogs are good at that? But our dogs are originally working animals. Maybe you could get a deaf dog, so the dog wouldn't think you could hear it?"

"...Where would I get a deaf dog?"

power-of-friendship

"Lots of Earth dogs are deaf! I dunno if there's a whole deaf breed like there is for cats, though..."

"There's a whole deaf breed of Earth cats? Why?"

power-of-friendship

"White fur is pretty and is linked to deafness, and no one bothered breeding it out because cats don't listen to humans anyways."

Onis giggles. "Deaf cats! A whole breed of them! Wow."

power-of-friendship

"Yeah! They even have grey fur!"

She makes a white, blue eyed, probably-deaf kitten on her arm.

Onis reaches out to pet the kitten.

power-of-friendship

Bright lets arm kitten be pet!

"This is a baby cat!" she explains.

"It looks funny! I think the fox is cuter."

power-of-friendship

She laughs. "I think so too!" And she makes a baby fox on the other arm. "This's one of the fox babies! I had to crawl under the house to see it, because baby foxes live underground."
