What it Means to be a BIG Cat…Part Time by Terry Spear
You might work part time or go to school part time or write
part time, or be involved in any other activity or hobby part time. But what if
you were a part-time jaguar?
How would that affect your lifestyle? Jaguar shifters aren’t
affected by the moon like werewolves are. Which means?
You have to be careful about when and where you shift. It
can be good if you are faced with some bad guys. Even if they have guns. Can
you imagine the startle factor? He’s prowling around looking for a human to
kill and all of a sudden there you are with big teeth and eyes that look into
the very soul of a person before you spring and pounce?
So which would you rather be? The bad guy with the gun? Or
the jaguar with the big teeth?
But what if you shift when you shouldn’t? And that’s the
real problem. Can you imagine sitting in a jungle village café eating burritos,
listening to beautiful South American songs, and you can’t stop the shift? Here
you are, perfectly happy, munching away, and the next thing you know, if you
don’t get naked really fast, you’re going to be trying to fit into your jeans
and cotton shirt as a jaguar. Won’t work. Not that I’ve tried it, mind you. But
anatomically, it just wouldn’t work.
Don’t think Incredible Hulk here because a jaguar’s body
isn’t that strong that it’s going to rip out all those sewing machine made stitches,
and jeans are sturdy, so just tearing them up isn’t an easy task. Nope. I can’t
even imagine what a mess that would be. Especially since as a jaguar, you’d
want to make a fast exit off the café patio and make a hasty retreat for the
jungle.
So let’s say you have a couple of friends with you, only
they have a lot more control over their shifting than you do. What do THEY do?
Remember, everyone that ran screaming from the café knows that they were with
YOU. Which means? They realize your friends might be shifters, too.
They have several options. Pretend the person that just
shifted in front of them didn’t exist, wasn’t their friend, and they didn’t
know you. Or run after you as humans to lend moral support and hope none of you
get caught by a non-friendly hunting party. Or join the party and shift, too!
This particular scene never happened in SAVAGE HUNGER,
although yes, Kathleen did have some very harrowing experiences with the
problem with shifting.
What would Connor and Maya do? As a reviewer commented, they
were the Three Musketeers. And what does that mean? All for one and one for
all!
So tell me the truth now. If your friend suddenly turned
into a shifter at the wrong time…good friend’s wedding, picnic at the park, you
name it, would you pretend not to know her? Run off screaming with everyone
else, pretending to be shocked out of your skin? Or would you stick by her
side, friends through thick and thin?
Thanks so much to Booklovin Mamas for having me
here today, and one lucky person that answers my question will have a chance to
win a copy of SAVAGE HUNGER.US/Canada Addresses Only.

Thanks so much for having me here today at Book Lovin' Mamas!!! Good luck to everyone who comments!!!
LoL, good question, I guess it would depend on my mood, but I'm guessing I would follow my pack or pride whichever a group of jaguars are called. Wait, do jaguars live in packs? Funny how one question leads to the next.
Good luck with your new release :)
good question. i'd probably be shocked at first but once i got over it stand by her side!
parisfan_ca@yahoo.com
LOL, Marguerite! They are actually loners, the males overlapping a couple of females' territories. Why should the guys have more than one kitty cat? Thanks!
Laurie, I'd agree! It would be a total shock!
She stood by me through a lot so I'd stand by my best friend and probably be like 'I hate you! I want to be a shifter!' but I wouldn't run off on her or pretend not to notice her! I'd be boasting that I'm her best friend! Lol!
suzi1811 @fsmail.net
LOL, that's cute, Suzi! I love it!
The bright colors remind me of the jungle! :) Thanks for coming by, Angela!
I had a typo in the last comment (I'm so bad without a proof reader). What I meant to say was, "I'm just happy looking at your book covers!"
Friends to the end :)
allison(dot)westcote(at)gmail(dot)com
LOL, no problem, Angela, I hate when I do that in one of these comment blocks!
Allison, agreed!
Friends through thick and thin means just that. You don't bail when the going gets tough. If you are a true friend it wouldn't matter where it happened.
justpeachy36@yahoo.com
I so agree, Just Peachy!
I believe if you are friends, you are friends through thick and thin, no matter what happens.

Friends are friends no matter what, why would it matter. sdylion(at)gmail(dot)com
Friends. True friends stick together no matter what happens.

I would stay with them - cautiously until I knew they were cognizant of our friendship.
