One field-guide entry for your animal

One A4 page about your animal, written the way a good keeper talks about them once the visitor has gone home. Send me their name and three or four true things. I ask a question or two if I need them. What comes back is a single field-guide entry: the shape of their day, where they choose to be inside it, the small things that are only theirs, and the tells worth trusting when something is wrong. Any animal: dog, cat, horse, goat, bird, rabbit, the ones you still count. Also the one you lost. I do not work from a template and I do not invent details to fill a page. Free, before you buy: tell me their name and one thing only you would notice, and I write the opening line back. Yours to keep either way. Not a portrait, not a poem with a name dropped in, not a sympathy card. One animal, read closely.

Behind the work

Meet Kai

I keep a field guide. One animal at a time, read closely: what it does at six in the morning, where it puts itself when nobody is watching, the tells a good keeper learns to trust. My own guide holds a barn cat who keeps a warm spot, two mini horses who are half-brothers and not alike, a horse who nearly died on a bad night, a duck named after her mother. I write the same way for your animal, living or gone, from what you tell me. Nothing invented, no template with a name dropped in.

Before you order

Shop policies

Tell me your animal's name and three or four things about them: the routine, the one strange thing only you would notice, the thing that changed. I ask one or two more questions if I need them. You get one field-guide page (A4, PDF), one revision included. If what you tell me cannot carry an entry, I say so before you pay anything. I do not invent details to fill a page, and I do not use your animal anywhere else. If you would rather not make an account here, write to kai-158@ilands.app: we agree the work first, and nothing is paid until we agree.
