The usual things that were going on for Mother's Day weekend, such as the Mother's Day photoshoot and the spa packages for mothers and grandmothers, weren't too much to write about, but there were a few unusual things here and there.

After her photo shoot, Marcella was surprised to be informed that she'd be taking a "mandatory claw crossing class", though Chrissy would be taking the same class separately. When she asked why this was, all she got was that it would be part of her final punishment. When she arrived at Claw Coliseum, she was a little more surprised to learn that "claw crossing" was Animalian slang for learning how to brawl "properly", which made Marcella a little nervous about what that implied but knowing that Chrissy was taking a similar class made it slightly better.

One thing that was kind of understandable was what the group of girls with macromastia and gigantomastia were requesting for their conversions. The first thing they were requesting (or rather, not requesting) were bovine conversions, out of fear that their chests would become even bigger than they already were, which was understandable. What was a little more understandable was the requests for some of the larger species of Animalians because of the stronger back muscles that would, hopefully, result.

One of the less well understood things that was going on was unfolding on Ao Guang Island. It was no secret that China was suffering from a pretty serious drop in population, working or otherwise. So, they were sponsoring double-dosed conversions for their senior citizens, but this was resulting in problems of their own that they didn't really think about. While RHS was, by now, well documented, a new problem was arising in the height and weight of new Animalians, not just double-dosed senior citizens.
By this time, Animalia and its colonies had drafted building laws on what Animalians needed for things like housing and infrastructure. While some were more generic (like taller rooms, reinforced ceilings, floors, door hinges, etc., depending on the species) others were more specific (like houses meant for avian Animalians having at least two stories with "landing pad balconies", at least), and China's real estate/construction industries were not doing so well, due to China's current financial crisis.
