Lore
Bratcats x Prettykitties
A cat-like race that tends to live in rather tightly knit groups. These groups often grow so tight that they frequently butt heads with other groups, in a struggle of strength to prove who is superior. Felis are able to shift into cats, but regardless of which form they are in, they are fast, efficient and quiet. It has become quite popular for Felis to categorize into either the PrettyKitty or BratCat faction.
Pretty kitties generally prefer to avoid conflict and stick to safer parts of town, or like to find protection from a group or partner. The rowdy cats tend to form gangs that they are very protective of, and are commonly carrying out their conflicts openly, seeking trouble.
They seem to be so busy with their internal struggles that contact with their once-prey, the Lovabuns, is minimal at best. This also caused their population to be vastly outnumbered by the bunnies, as most felis reside in so called "cat cities", of which not many remain intact.
Features
In their human form, Felis commonly have:
- 1 tail, either short fur or lucious long fur (subtype dependant)
- cat ears
- cat paws (3 or 4 toes, many Felis have lost a toe during evolution for some strange reason).
- human skin tones or grey tones
- markings on their body if you want, depending on subtype. Any color. If very elaborate they must be tattoos.
- short smooth fur around their lower legs (anything more pronounced needs extra fluffy trait)
- human eyes with a white sclera
- colored sclera possible as a tattoo
In their cat form, felis commonly have:
- the body type/anatomy of the cat they are based on
- no hair/hairstyles
- roughly the same colors as their humanoid form
Subtypes
Felis come in different subtypes. Click through the tabs below to learn more about them!Panthera ( Felis Subtype)
The big three Panthera families are the 🐅 Tigers (Subbranch: White Tigers), 🦁 Lions (Subbranch: Ash Lions, Onyx Lions), 🐆 Leopards & Jaguars (Subbranch: Black Panthers, Snow Leopards). These groups generally tend to be viewed as the strongest among the Felis. Color wise, anything goes for each of them, however:
- Tigers always have stripes
- Lions always have manes/lion tails
- leopards/jaguars have spots unless they are black panthers

All felis are capable of shifting into their associated cat form, but not all of them make use of it. It is considered an old art, one that has lost it's primary use in modern times: The hunt. In cat form, a felis does not retain any sort of hairstyle - all of it is replaced by fur corresponding to their subtype.
