twenty crows (朱) video

[yourhatred]

[There is a faint mew as the video starts. Itachi has a gray cat cradled in one arm where it seems perfectly content.]

I would like to inquire on current options available for insuring infertility in pets. [Preferably methods that don't involve surgery.]

As far as I'm aware, my world has a sealing technique, but I'm not familiar enough with it to perform it myself.

[He pauses.] I do not wish to resort to anything more primitive.

[He's been looking into this... for uh, obvious reasons. Sumire is more adventuresome than Amaya, and she gets out of the house quite a bit.]

There's hormonal treatments as a potential contraceptive aid... but for a number of reasons I don't recommend them. Same for drugs.

[Dosage issues and the fact metabolic toxicity could happen rapidly or build slowly, difficultly getting the cat to take them, difficulty in recognizing side effects (some are subtle and unless you know what you're looking for), increased susceptibility to certain disease states such as various forms of cancers...

The list goes on.]

[yourhatred]

If you don't recommend them, then they are not options.

[Simple as that.]

[deathsdoctor]

There might be magical alternatives... [He wouldn't put it beyond someone to have a spell out there.] though for now, the safest method in Luceti would probably be spaying in Amaya's case.

[And for obvious reasons, asking a mednin from your world for a seal or the Malnosso for a shift is out.]

[yourhatred]

[The frown is slight, but it's there. Itachi is not pleased with this response, but he doesn't make much of a show of it.]

I may see what sealing techniques I can recall on my own. Perhaps something can be adapted.

[deathsdoctor]

[He knows you better than most here - of course you wouldn't like it. But even with the Dome, he has limited resources.]

Perhaps. [And how are you going to test these seals? Not on Amaya, he hopes.] If I find a viable alternative to surgery, I'll let you know.

[Because having to spay your own cat is not the slightest bit strange, yeah.

And talking about these kind of options while your own cat is on your lap and mewing for attention doesn't make things more uncomfortable in the slightest either.]

[yourhatred]

[He'd find a way.]

Thank you, Law. I would appreciate it.

[corrinesbell]

[There's an app for that?]

You can do that? With a seal?

in which I dish out headcanon BS

[yourhatred]

It's rarely used outside ninja villages, and I admit I don't remember most of the details.

Nin-cats, or more intelligent cats that worked alongside ninja, did not much approve of a more surgical process.

[corrinesbell]

I've never even heard of a technique like that.

[She knows a great move that'll probably leave male humans sterile...]

[yourhatred]

That's not surprising. It doesn't seem many have.

[toujoursfluer]

Would you consider severing its balls primitive?

[yourhatred]

Perhaps. If she had balls to sever.

not here

[weaponry]

[ Holy fuck it is Itachi Uchiha. Just going to stare in surprise that you are here. With a kitten.

Asking... She'll need some time to take it in. She thought you left long ago. So she'll just ogle in shock. ]

[pinkyizpower]

[Excuse Sakura for a few moments while she stares at the feed like a dullard. This is not something she knows how to react to, what with the knowledge that... well. First off she remembers having heard that Itachi died and second... A cold hearted criminal caring about an animal not procreating is just a bit much for the poor girl to take in. All things considered.]

I-is it... a boy or a girl?

[At least she's trying to be composed...? And probably failing miserably.]

[yourhatred]

Haruno Sakura, isn't it?

[Have one missing-nin staring at the camera dispassionately. He's been in Luceti for well over a year now, but it's a rare occasion that he speaks openly over the network.]

She is female.

sorry for the delete. getting paid in a couple weeks so have to do it the hard way for now lol

[pinkyizpower]

[She looks away for a moment, but doesn't confirm her identity. It's not really a secret, but there aren't many in their world with her distinctive features - hair, eyes, temper...

But you'll have to forgive Sakura here, for going silent for a moment while the wheels of her mind are churning. She's not overly familiar with complex veterinary care, such as spaying a cat, nor does she know these seals... but there might be another way.]

I'm not sure how well it will work here in Luceti, but maybe if you tried disturbing the chakra flow to her uterus.

it's all good

[yourhatred]

That seems like something that could cause a fair amount of harm if used over an extended period of time, or possibly throw off her hormonal balance.

[pinkyizpower]

Not at all.

[Sakura actually beams. Watch her go full on med mode, and not realize who she's talking to.]

In humans, when a female gets a hysterectomy they leave behind her ovaries to keep hormonal balance. If all you're doing is disturbing the chakra flow to her uterus, it would basically make it shrivel up and die.

_{[She taps her chin in thought for a moment.]}

You would need precision and to be extremely careful, though. But again, I don't know how well that would work here in Luceti.

[yourhatred]

[That mental image still doesn't sit particularly well with him. He frowns ever so slightly.]

...I will take this option into consideration.

/enters in here belatedly

[endgames]

Huh. That's disappointing.

[yourhatred]

Which part, Shikamaru-san?

[endgames]

No hoards of kittens from you. You could've been like those weird cat ladies - only as a guy.

[yourhatred]

I apologize for the disappointment.

[endgames]

[The journal window captures a shrug, followed by the usual lazy drawl.]

Whatever. I'll find other ways to amuse myself, I guess.

[Yay sarcasm. Besides, despite the extra time he's had to get used to Itachi's surprisingly mundane interests compared to some of the others, more cats probably would be freaky.]

[yourhatred]

On that note, I would ask how you've been faring.

If you care to answer.
