As some of you may know, in the past week I have been in the bright sunny country of Spain. Whilst I was there I got to do some thinking about this story. And one point I greatly thought about, as the title suggests, is the spotted cloud cat.
What is the spotted cloud cat? I hear you ask. (Well, not really, unless you personally come and shout down my ear). Its a creature I have invented for this world which still needs a name (Ideas Please!!) and It's hopefully something my character Andrew will meet in his adventure. Other creatures can be made up later, but this one's mine. So some of the info I've got so far is this:
The spotted cloud cat looks similar to a cheetah, but has pointed, tufted ears and a slightly longer snout. However, its most notable feature is the large pair of wings that enable it to fly. These wings are coloured differently between males and females, the males having a mix of dark and tawny brown feathers and the females a paler brown.
Spotted cloud cats are sentient creatures, they are self aware and very intelligent. They have their own communities and hierachies, and in some ways their lives are very similar to our human social lives. They even have their own royalty, and have lots of pride and honour.
Basically, they are intelligent creature with their own personalities, traits and weaknesses, and are similar to humans in their social life but cats in their habits, appearance and other ways. Seeing as Andrew is a shapeshifter and all he can converse with them, and they would make an interesting character.
