Species Profile

Feline

The undisputed monarchs of every household they deign to inhabit. Officially classified as β€œpets,” but operating more like tiny, furry dictators with an unlimited supply of charm. They are demanding, imperious, and gloriously self-absorbed – yet somehow still the baby.

Their days are carefully divided between sleeping like a decorative throw pillow, plotting world domination from atop the fridge, and reminding their humans that food bowls must never, under any circumstances, be less than full. They communicate primarily through tail flicks, judgmental stares, and strategic 3am stampedes.

Resistance to their demands is futile; they will sit on your laptop, your book, or your dignity until you comply. In short, cats don’t live with us – we live in service to them.

Physical Characteristics

Compact, flexible bodies built for both elegance and chaos, fur in every conceivable color and pattern, eyes that can pierce your soul at twenty paces, tails that double as mood indicators and whips of judgment, retractable claws for affection *and* revenge, purr engines with variable volume, faces capable of conveying disdain without a single word

Culture & Society

Universally acknowledged as the true rulers over humans, expect royal treatment at all times, demand food precisely when it is inconvenient, sassy enough to ignore commands but needy enough to sit on your chest at 3am, treat expensive toys as garbage and garbage as priceless treasures, act like they own the house (because they do), consider all closed doors a personal insult, maintain an aura of mystery while ensuring they are still the baby of the household

Biology & Abilities

Expert hunters whether they need to be or not, capable of sleeping 18 hours a day yet somehow still exhausted, powered by spite and snacks, purring possibly functions as a self-healing mechanism (or a mind-control device for humans), flexible spines for improbable sleeping positions, whiskers as advanced sensory equipment, nine lives and the reckless confidence to test them all
