NINE [Modern Fantasy, Magic, and Fable] - (Need USA, Africa, SA, CA and Caribbe)

[TheBlackThrone]

Where do cats go when they are let outside? What do cats do? They are mysterious in their manners and ways. They have been worshipped for years—well-before the creation of language. They appear in myths and legends, and superstitions are created about them. And as much as we think we know about cats, their lives are still a secret—a secret they have all kept from humans for thousands of years.

There is a parallel realm obscured by magic and tricks. A realm where cats serve a royal family whose bloodline is believed to be as old as all feline kind. These cats have protected the Earth for as long as they have been alive, guarding the nine ancient relics, which have the power to ward off invasion from other realms. The nine relics are called Cat Eyes and they are positioned at special points around the world where the planet’s magic pools are strongest. The Nine are magical keepers of the Cat Eyes. They are believed to be blessed by the goddess Bastet with unique gifts that aid them in protecting the temples from meddlers.

Hidden from humankind. The realm of Catmandu resides just beneath the human’s noses, and its secrets must not ever be revealed. Humans see cats as cats, but they too can appear as humans, saving their masters without them knowing, sitting in a coffee shop and discussing matters of the kingdom, while other humans are more concerned about their workloads and school. When a cat leaves a house, the cat is running through a network of confusing routes to arrive at a drainpipe that is actually a portal to a milk bar or gathering.

Humans won’t ever know the true life of cats, and they plan to keep it that way for as long as they can. However, this story is specifically about the most mysterious cats of all, The Nine.



The Nine are composed of nine cats blessed by the goddess Bastet and charged with the duty of protecting the nine Cat Eyes. The Nine are not related, however they know of each other’s existence, location, and possibly reputation. They are not the sole guardians at their temples, and so therefore, they are permitted to leave and travel the world on work, especially when summoned by the royal family. The Nine are all different cat breeds capable of taking on human forms just like other cats, but unlike most cats, they have special powers. While cats who have studied under witches as familiars are capable of wielding their own brand of powers, unlike Familiars, The Nine’s powers are innate and go along with some theme whether it be legendary or superstitious. Their powers are greater than Familiars; however, a Familiar’s power nearly rivals theirs, making Familiars always a potential threat.

The Nine are all capable of these standard abilities:

• Master Acrobats
• Master Free Runners/Parkour Practitioners
• Uncanny Flexibility
• Master Escape Artists
• Masters of Illusion
• Uncanny Balance
• Shapeshifting (mainly to human form unless your ability deems more)
• Animal Communication
• Human Communication (though discouraged)
• Telepathy (mental communication between each other)
• Nine Lives (A scar that resembles a tally will appear on any cat who has lost a life. All cats have this ability, and those with eight tally scars often become a quirky mess, fearing their end whether it be accident or destined.)

The above list of abilities are already given to your character if they are a part of Nine. You do not have to mention them again in your character sheet. Below, you will find the CS. Be sure to read it for it is basically the guide telling you how to fill it out. You can design the CS however you like. Here are some handy websites (Google their names): 1001fonts and HTML Color Codes.

Character relations can also go in this section. All members of Nine know each other. They are not siblings obviously and are very capable of developing feelings for the other. So work with other writers to develop their relationship. You can go into details about their temple and the Cat Eye they protect if you want. This is your sheet.

Catmandu is a parallel universe that secretly exists in modern human society. It is like the world of witches and wizards in Harry Potter. Humans only see cats as cats unless the cats are in human, and are ignorant to the roles the cats take to protect the Earth from being invaded by foreign and often supernatural entities. For the parallel universe, you can expect to find a lot of cat puns, satire of cat behavior, and just generally, a cat theme. Cats exist among other animals and other animals are aware of Catmandu’s existence; however, just like foreigners entering a country, they go through customs. There are many secret portals cats can take to appear in the fictional world of Catmandu.

This fictional realm is meant to be a zone where writers can help create it as they envision it. It is filled with magic and mysteries, and writers can be as imaginative as they like with it. You can find more details about the royal family in the IC as well as about the different locations of the Cat Eyes. For now, this recruitment is to see who all would be interested in story-weaving this idea.

This game will be a hybrid between GM-guided and sandbox. The GM will drop important plots, such as a very important one which will bring The Nine together to investigate an incident, but overall, this story will be as fun and enjoyable as you make it. The more interesting you make your character, and the more willing you are to interact with others, then the more we can do. So please bring dedication and an imagination. You are just as capable of building and adding to this world as I am.



1. No Mary Sues/Gary Stus. I feel that I made it so that every character is on an equal ground. No Nine member is more powerful than the other unless the other writers decide such.
2. No drama. This rule will always be here because people do not obey or even read this. Do not bring drama to this game. No aggressive or passive aggressive drama. I will not let you into this game if you demonstrate to me that you cannot behave like a mature adult.
3. No is No. GM says no. Move on. I try to be fair but if I literally tell you No, then it’s no.
4. No weak, partial, and trim character sheets. If it looks like you barely put any effort into your CS, you will be denied. Do not send me a weak CS.
5. Interact. You are joining a group game. By joining a group game that means you want to interact with others. Do it! Do not join this game if you don’t plan to write with others. Do not be a creeper either. If I get a report that you are creeping on writers, then you will be dropped. Again, this is not a smut game. You should be here to write a story not to do a sex scene and leave.
6. Activity. This game is going to be as fast as we make it. However, if the game slows down to the point everyone is posting once every 3-5 days, do not deem this game as dead. This game will only die if the GM says it is dead. If it dies and the GM didn't say it's dead, then the players killed this game. Do not kill this game. As a GM, there is only so much I can do. I can guide this game until conclusion, but I cannot force you to keep active and interested. You have to do this on your own. Interacting with other players and developing stories with them helps. Communicate with me if you plan to go AWOL. If you're coming down with a sickness and think you're going to be gone, let me know before it gets worse. If you plan to go on vacation for a time frame, let me know so we can accommodate your absence.
7. Respect each other.
8. Have fun.
More rules will be added as they become necessary.

Hey. Welcome welcome. Thank you for the interest. I can't wait to see what kind of characters you all create.

Updated the character sheet section. Please do not submit any nekos or furries. They will not be accepted. You are looking for human face claims or art, or domesticated cat breed pics. Both would be nice to have for your CS.

As you all are looking up cat powers, here is something you can look through to find concept ideas.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Mythological_felines

[TheBlackThrone]

Felix "Blackjack" Parker

Name: Felix Parker
Pet Name: Smokey
Alias: Blackjack; The Witch Cat
Age: Early 30s
Cat Breed: Black Cat
Fur Color: Black
Height: (Human Form) 5'9
Weight: (Human Form) 155 lbs.
Hair Color: (Human Form) Dark Blonde
Eye Color: (Human Form) Green
Eye Color: (Cat) Green-yellow
Mark: XIII
Gender: Male
From: Liverpool, England

Personality: Felix is a sly and mysterious cat. He doesn’t reveal much about himself for not many cats are interested in black cats. He is often stereotyped to be a Familiar, and they wouldn’t be wrong. Once upon a time, a Familiar was what he was until the goddess—for some reason—chose him. He wasn’t the easiest to accept as one of The Nine by the royal family, and even after being blessed, he wasn’t trusted with the keep of his temple. Felix still isn’t permitted to watch his own Cat Eye without facing the king’s elite guardsmen. He is certain he could dispatch them, but he chooses not to out of laziness and perhaps even foolishness. If the king thinks he can guard his temple better than he can, then so be it.

The black cat moves like a shadow and will often times sneak up on other kitties. He finds it amusing and sometimes it is unintentional. He likes to tease and play on the edge of danger. The saying ‘Curiosity killed the cat,’ should be a motto he should live by, but Curiosity hasn’t killed him yet.

Felix has an impressive talent when it comes to cards. He can stack them, shuffle them, expertly throw them, and he will even play games with them—which he will use his good and bad luck powers to cheat. Sometimes he wins an impressive pot, and other times, he loses everything but the fur on his back. Compared to the other Nine, Felix seems more like a bum. But who’s at least having fun? He is often considered irresponsible for not making an effort to reclaim his temple from the king. Whatever. He's just a Witch Cat any way.

Special Arch: Deck of Cards - Felix wields a deck of solid-black cards. They appear to have nothing written or drawn on them, and are flexible like a thin metal. The edges are sharp. When held between his fingers, Felix can cut with them like knives. He can throw a card at an enemy, and the card will be as sharp as a shuriken. He can embed his cards into a wall, and scale them like stairs. His cards are capable of levitation, and it is uncertain if it is the power of the Arch that allows them to do so or Felix’s witch cat magic. Felix will never say. His cards will line up in the shape of a barrier to deflect projectiles or act as a platform for him to surf through the air on. The reason why he is so good at shuffling cards is well…magic.

Power: Good Luck/Bad Luck - it's a 50/50 gamble anytime Felix resorts to using his powers. It isn't a safe game to play, but he doesn't really have much of a choice. This was the power the goddess cursed and blessed him with. He can use his luck power to bestow someone with good luck or bad luck; however, he doesn't control what kind of luck they receive. Therefore, he tends to only use this power sparingly.

Extra:

Felix was born in a litter of black kittens. All but one of his siblings turned out to be stark-white, and while she was accepted by their mother, she was not accepted by their master. His parents’ master was secretly a witch named Joan Hawthorne. She had bred his father and mother together because their magic power was the most compatible. Felix’s father, Draven, never really saw his mother, Angela, as a lover. She had only been there to fulfill his desires as well as that of his master Joan. Felix would later learn that his litter was not her first, but Angela’s third. The kittens were all taken by witches, young and old, once they were old enough to eat solid food. His white sister Ophelia was never taken. Draven and Joan always gazed upon her with disapproval and disgust, and Felix was too young to understand why. Ophelia was different, but she still exuded great magic. Felix didn’t have a chance to see what happened to her before he was taken by his own master.

Felix’s master wasn’t much of a witch. He was more a magician than a witch and performed various illusion magic before gullible humans. It actually amazed Felix how easily fooled humans were, but it wasn’t just humans, cats were as well. Felix, in his free time, would take to the alleys, shocking and amazing cats with his disappearing acts. He often made fish at the fish market disappear, and he and his friends would flee from the enraged fish salesmen. Good times.

As Felix continued to perform and learn from his master, he developed new methods for stealing. He became popular among the strays in the alley. He was their hero, and as long as he kept duping the humans, then he kept them alive and plump. The strays started to serve him. They called him, “The Witch Cat.” He could have whatever female he wanted and the strays brought him whatever he needed. He amazed his followers even more by ridding The Alley of an invading gang of dogs. The bigger they are, the harder they fall.

One night, Felix was hanging around the wrong kitty. She was the mate of a cat who she claimed was greater than him. Felix, blinded by his fame, didn’t believe there was any cat so great. Another witch cat, by the name Rasmus, her mate, angrily confronted Felix. The two cats fought in The Alley. Even with Felix’s cunning tricks and illusions, he had been no match for Rasmus whose master had been a true witch. He was beaten and left to wallow in his defeat in The Alley. His followers left him and began following Rasmus. And just when he thought his luck couldn’t get any lower, the dogs who he had chased from The Alley returned with a vengeance. Felix laid unmoving by a trashcan barely alive. His master never came for him for he couldn’t cross into Catmandu. The strays who he thought were his friends never returned. Felix was certain that he had found his resting place, but when he next opened his eyes, he didn’t find himself in an alley. He was lying on a towel in a box in a mysterious human’s home.

Afraid at first, Felix remained hiding in his box until the young woman who had rescued him made her appearance. She tried not to scare him and attempted to give him a saucer of tuna. Felix did what any frightened cat did and fled through the house with his rescuer chasing him. It was strange! His body didn’t ache and he had felt just as energetic as ever. It was when he fled into the bathroom that he noticed the mirror and hopped onto the sink to gaze upon himself. Etched into his fur was an odd symbol, and at first, Felix feared that he had gained a tally. Had he died!? His master, who he eventually learned was named Pamela Dearborn, captured him and held him in her arms until he was calm. She fed him tuna from her hand and gave him a scratch to die for—something no one else had ever done. Felix has since decided to live with Pam, and uses her home as a permanent residence.

Again, another eerie night, while Felix slept next to Pam, three mysterious cats appeared at the end of the bed. They were Sphynx cats, and while Pam slept obliviously, they took on human form and appeared in monkish robes before the bed. They called Felix by name and asked him to come with them. Felix reluctantly left Pam’s side and went with the cats. He crossed with them into Catmandu and traveled with them to a mysterious temple. Felix learned that the temple had been one that had not found a keeper yet, and the Sphinx cats were priests and priestesses of the goddess Bastet. In the temple was a strange relic called a Cat Eye, and when Felix drew close to it, the relic spontaneously reacted. There was a great flash like a bomb, and Felix found himself in the center of a maelstrom of power. The relic spoke to him on a resonating voice. It felt as though a third eye had opened at the center of his skull for he saw a white panther who he thought at first was Ophelia. The panther told him of his duties and left him no room to object before the power was sucked back into the eye. Felix fell to his knees and dropping on the floor in front of him was a black deck of cards. It was in that moment that Felix was told he was the chosen keeper. WHAT!?

The best part was when the king had found out about it. The Persian king Bahadur (who was literally a Persian cat) was displeased to learn that a black cat had been chosen as a keeper. Despite the begging of the servants of Bastet, the king sent his own elite guards to guard the temple, and it has since been under guard ever since.

Hi BlackThrone,
am definitely staking an interest here.
Will get working on a character sheet once I look through some of those mythological felines you linked to.
Game sounds great.

[TheBlackThrone]

You can also go by terms too such as "copy cat." Just myth, legend, superstition, folktale, sayings, etc. All open concepts. Thank you for your interest. Can't wait to see what you create.  :-)

[Chasseybaby]

Name: Amber Jacobson
Pet Name: Pumpkin
Alias: AJ, Hell Cat
Age: Early 20’s
Cat Breed: Orange Tabby
Fur Color: Orange
Height: 5’5”
Weight: 127lbs
Hair Color: (Human Form)A sunny orange with blonde highlights
Eye Color: (Human Form) A mix of green and honey brown
Eye Color: (Cat) Green with rings of gold and amber
Gender: Female
::Face Claim: Katherine McNamara::
Mark: ♌

Personality:.
Amber is a fiery redhead with a spitfire attitude. Known to be straightforward and confident, she is serious when she needs to be and laid back when relaxing, mostly in sunny areas. She lives in a cat cafe, which helps with her on and off again missions without being missed too much. Always a flirt and begged for attention, whether it be in her human or cat form. She is very aware of her talents and good looks and is not afraid to show off either or use them as she pleases. She is always super positive about herself never letting others drag her down. She can be a flirty, affectionate, sly, 'feet first into hell, think about it later' attitude, sexy kitten.

Amber is very sociable and extroverted, even in unfamiliar situations Unafaird to meet new people and make friends. She is arguably the most flippant, carefree and adventurous person, frequently making sarcastic comments and jokes even in the heat of battle and often taking combat and hostile situations lightly Amber love of fighting is the main reason she decided to become a  part of the NINE.

However, Amber's "brawler" fighting style is evocative of her personality. She prides in her self control, but has a bit of a temper when provoked or pushed to the limit. Her anger, one of her main assets in battle, can lead her to act unpredictably but does all she can to protect those around her. She is emotional about things she cares about and not afraid to express herself or her thoughts out loud.

She has a very independent and competitive spirit. She lives a wild lifestyle and doesn't really plan ahead much and flies by the seat of her pants most of the time. Very mischievous is known for trouble. She knows how to live in the spotlight but sometimes she just wants her privacy with her friends.

Special Arch: -Cat Claws- Amber has a pair of worn leather fingerless gloves that with a twist of her wrist release short yet sharp blades. She mainly uses them for combat but sometimes to scale high buildings or to break through barricades. The metal is strong and almost unbreakable to any physical attack and has not tested its durability on any magical attacks so far unless you count her fire manipulation. The blades can endure high tempers of heat and do not melt for her fire magic but become infused and make her a deadly opponent to face.

Power: Playing with Fire::  Amber can shape and manipulate fire and even create her own fire with her mind The rapid oxidation of a material in the exothermic chemical process of combustion, releasing heat and light, her flame being the visible portion of the fire. She is also able to utilize fire with physical combat, granting her an impressive selection of offensive abilities while leaving them somewhat weak on the defensive side. She is immune to being burned by any fire her body always warmer than any normal feline/human and if reduced to freezing temperatures could weaken and kill her.

Extra: Amber lives in New York City, a city that never sleeps and is always keeping her on her toes. She loves that she can go out and have fun every night and naps during the day. She is one of many strays that frequent and local cat cafe and has been adopted by the young owners. Even though she does not recognize them as her owners she has a soft spot for her humans.

Relations with NINE: TBA

Slowly coming along

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

FC: Madison Paige

Name: Sora (Human) Casper(Cat name)
Alias:  Byakko
Age: late 20's
Cat Breed: Turkish Angora
Fur Color: White
Height: 5'8"
Weight: 130 lbs
Hair Color: (Human) Blonde (bleached)
Eye Color: (Human) Blue
Eye Color: (Cat) Blue

Mark:


Gender: Female

Personality: Calm and quiet despite her appearance, Sora prefers to watch things from a distance. People watching in both her human and cat form seems to be her biggest hobbies which some can mistake as being lazy or too laid back. Either way she doesn't mind what people think about her since beings will always make an assumption one way or the other.

Sora is a tom-boy and with Byakko being considered a masculine name, she embraces both sides since that is the duality of the soul and spirit in her opinion which will bring balance to the person as a whole. While some may consider her a "pretty male", she isn't afraid to use this to her advantage to become a white knight for some girls that are tormented.


Special Arch: Duel-Wield War Fans

Power: Like her alias, Sora has the power of wind on her side. Using her Aero-Telekinesis she can use it for combat or flight. Using her fans as a conduit, she can create a breeze or a strong gust of wind. Anything more will require more power and the possibility of losing control so it is avoided.

Extra:

Sora doesn't drive, but instead ride a bike, wears her roller blades, or uses her skateboard. She is fairly sporty and athletic, enjoys the outdoors no matter the season, but gets pretty bad allergies during the summer.

Relationships with other NINE members: TBA

[TheBlackThrone]

Chasseybaby: You should either go with Fire Manipulation or Pyromancy, but you still need an overall description. You can use the superpower wiki to help with that if you need to. But everything looks good so far.  :-)

Power: Shapeshifting, Copying powers, She can change to a copy of a person or animal but only for a limited time. She also has had to have been close enough to touch the person or animal before she can copy them. Trying to change into something she has not had contact with can result in a messed up transformation.

notes

I know everyone can shift into a human so I hope this is an ok power. I got the idea word copy cat the Bakoneko legend, and the fact that manticores and other cat legends are made up of jumbled parts.

Extra: This is for further information about your character. Do they own a vehicle of some sort? Do you want to mention some important background information? Character relations can also go in this section. All members of Nine know each other. They are not siblings obviously and are very capable of developing feelings for the other. So work with other writers to develop their relationship. You can go into details about their temple and the Cat Eye they protect if you want. This is your sheet.

WIP

Name: Azizi
Alias: Pālanā // in English the direct translation would be Cradle. The saying and song with the line ‘Cat in the cradle’ stems from Azizi.


Age: Appearance in human years is early twenties or late teens

Cat Breed: Egyptian Mau

Fur Color: Bronze coloured spotted Mau
Height: (Human Form) 5’ 9”
Weight: (Human Form) 55kg
Hair Color: (Human Form) Azizi’s hair looks deep brown with light spots throughout, in contrast to her cat form which is bronze like her skin tone with deep brown spots.
Eye Color: green eyes
Eye Color: (Cat) green eyes
Mark: Shen-Ring
Azizi often wears the front of her hair styled like this also, the symbol means eternal protection.


Gender: female
Personality: Azizi is fiercely loyal, even when someone betrays that trust – she will believe they had a very good reason for doing so. Extremely intelligent, whether in her cat form or human, Azizi is like a walking encyclopedia of facts and truth. Very social, the perfect cat to be around humans, her protective nature and social attitude means she always wins out over any dog – in any family.

Special Arch: Yōd'dhā looks like nothing more than an ancient wooden yoyo. Azizi was gifted this by Bastet and when used she becomes a warrior. Yōd'dhā or Yoda embues Azizi with strength that she would not otherwise possess. The speed of a cheetah is hers to pursue any violator.


Power: Telepathy -- Cats Cradle : her power is from where the rumours came from, where the legend begins, where song and saying are spread. Azizi means precious, but for those that she protects – they to her are the precious ones. Her power allows her to sense when they are in danger, much like many cats and their sixth sense. She has separated many families in her life time, abusive fathers who would wish harm to their children, often mere babies in a crib or cradle. With her power she can control the mind of the wrongdoer and simply make them leave, go far away – walk until their feet bleed, straight into a river, straight off a cliff edge. All in her duty to protect.

[There have been times it is said that a woman is seen with what looks like a yoyo in her hand forming it’s thread into a triangle and swinging the yoyo like a pendulum between it. This is how Yōd'dhā gets activated but over the years, the name became associated with a trick with a yoyo.]


T.B.D
Extra: This is for further information about your character. Do they own a vehicle of some sort? Do you want to mention some important background information? Character relations can also go in this section. All members of Nine know each other. They are not siblings obviously and are very capable of developing feelings for the other.

Eh, why not. I'll put mine down as well. Here's what I got so far:

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

Name: Maneki

Alias: Merry Maneki, Maneki the Lucky, Mary Amaneki (the alias she uses as a human)

Age: 21

Cat Breed: Japanese Bobtail

Fur Color: Calico (White with orange and black)

Eye Color: (Human Form) Brown

Eye Color: (Cat) Heterochromatic Gold and Blue

Mark: Maneki's mark is the distinctive, five-yen-coin-shaped spots on her paw pads.

Gender: Female

Personality: On the surface Maneki is a relaxed, carefree individual even by cat standards. She rarely seems to plan things ahead or care much for intellectual matters, preferring to focus more on having a good time and enjoying herself. Among other cats, she's considered to be quite the party girl. She loves humans and human attention and often rewards those who spoil or entertain her while she's in feline form. She has a particular soft spot for older humans and shopkeepers, and often wanders into stores in case they give her treats.

If forced to focus on serious matters (like her duties), Maneki becomes highly attentive and goal oriented. She relies more on improvisation than careful planning and is quick to capitalize on any opportunity that presents itself to her. While she may toy with foes in combat, she is no slouch at going for a kill shot when she means business and doesn't flinch from violence.

Maneki's favorite things include tuna, gambling (especially roulette and dice games), and receiving attention.

Special Arch: Maneki's Arch takes the shape of a wakazashi with a slightly curved blade and a coin-shaped hand-guard. The sheath and grip share her distinct calico coloration, and a rabbit's foot dangles from the pommel. The blade is sharpened to a razor-fine edge. She typically wields her arch with a back-handed grip, focusing on quick slashes and stabs.

Power: Fortune - Beckoning Cat: Maneki is lucky. Absurdly, unnaturally lucky. Though this does not mean that the world warps or reality shifts to bring about impossible circumstances (she is not a walking Infinite Improbability Drive) if there is an element of chance, randomness or uncertainty in an event or action then things will typically come down in Maneki's favor. Aside from its obvious utility, Maneki knows how to use this to her advantage in combat: blind attacks hit their mark, wild strikes hit weak spots, and one-in-a-million shots become absolute certainties. Moreover, she can share her luck with others, blessing them with good tidings or increased prosperity so long as she's in proximity.

Extra:
Maneki's Relic - The Nekomata Mirror: A highly polished circular bronze mirror that glows when touched by moonlight.

Maneki's Temple - The Shrine of Bake-Neko: Hidden in parallel alongside the Meiji Shrine in Shibuya, Tokyo, the Shrine of Bake-Neko is very much a traditional Shinto-style shrine, though the presence of the thousands of cat statues makes for a striking sight. The temple's other major feature is the huge koi pond that surrounds the main shrine.

Note: Due to her particular skill set, Maneki is formally banned from all of the casinos and gambling houses in Catmandu, both as a precautionary measure and for the fact that she is a FLAGRANT AND UNREPENTANT CHEATER.

Feeling a little under the weather, but going to change my CS a little bit and make them a male to help offset the women.

Please don't. I want people to only submit what they wanted. I don't want people trying to change their concept for administrative purposes. This game is still fresh and people are still joining. CSes are only accepted as I feel they fit the bill, so I'm not too worried about the situation.

Okay.

Sharing some art I'm going to use for the Catmandu world.  :-) You saw some other art in the OP. I'm getting more ideas as I work on Felix's back story lol.



Also, on this map, and I will add this to the CS because it makes sense to. Where in the world is your cat from? Because the Cat Eye temple can be placed in that country.



I added a From: section to the CS. It'll be for where your cat's permanent residence is. Your cat can have two different residences if you want. A human world one and a Catmandu world one. It would explain why cats disappear for a while sometimes. They're off saving the world.  ::)

I also went ahead and added Pet Name:. I was thinking this would be like a hilarious secret unless your cat doesn't mind sharing what their master calls them, "if" they have a master. If they don't have a master, then this can be ignored. I'm going to be building the IC to help better shape the world. Understand, it's a living project. We can shape it together.

Oooh I can't wait to add that to my CS once I finish it editing what I got. I hope to have it finished after the weekend.

Great!  :-)
