Entry: Cat - Theta Mandel

Felis Catus is the only domesticated species of the family Felidae. Small, flexible, and almost liquid, these creatures are known for their paradoxical nature; they are both aloof, and seekers of human companionship. Most are soft, with long tails, though some breeds are entirely hairless. Fickle, sly, and entirely self-serving, these mammals can nevertheless prove useful and adoring companions, even helping their humans to heal from injury.
