Northern Catfolk

Ailur, or Ailyr, comes from Ailurus (for red pandas) and is adopted from the ancient Greek word αἴλουρος (ailouros), meaning "cat".

The Northern Catfolk is described as having anthropomorphic domesticated cat patterns in a variety of skins, like those of most breeds of cats. The wild Northern Catfolk had black spots horizontally and gray fur just like a normal tabby cat. But this different subspecies based on this northern variant was gray, while the southern subspecies was like the African wildcat.

Excellent night vision, acute hearing, silent stalking, strong leaping and pouncing, climbing, and crawling were all characteristics of the Northern Catfolk; they are strong climbers, they frequently take a nap on rocky ledges or trees. Catfolks, in contrast to many domestic cats, can swim fairly well when needed for hunting near wetlands, crossing streams, escaping danger, and evacuation. But unless they are compelled or motivated by prey, they usually stay away from water.

The Northern Catfolks are masters of culinary arts, whistling, and even taking for the princess's or survivor's assistance in their own quests by using various skills and attacks; however, in their own lives alone, releasing claws causes bleeding. Northern Catfolks use premodern weapons like bone pickaxes, ice picks, karambits, bone sickles, bombs, Molotov cocktails, crossbows with fish's bones as bolts, knives, and even hand cannons.

Northern Catfolks are quite low in the food chain, though they feed on just about anything. Northern felynes feed on nuts, insects, rats, fish, and many different human dishes across the world in four realms. If the battle starts looking bad, they'll dig a hole and travel somewhere safe and back to their home without noticing yet. Commonly, they are seen working in all sorts of human establishments or settlements to find a job.

Reproduction

• Breeding season: 

  • Nomads: Usually late spring to early winter

  • With humanity: random

• Pregnancy: Around 65–70 days

• Litter size: Usually 1–5 kittens

• Kitten development: 

  • Born blind

  • Eyes open after about 1 weeks

  • Begin hunting lessons after several months

• Young wildcats become independent around 7–10 months old.

The Catfolk live in intricate groups known as communities, colonies, or clowders. Their true behavior consists of grooming friendships, alliances, territorial patrols, play, mourning dead group members, and reconciling after fights. During mating season, they communicate with their feline counterparts using facial expressions, gestures, meowing, screams, pant-hoots, drumming, growl, hiss, purr, meow, and yowl. Catfolks, like humans and chimpanzees, can express empathy, jealousy, cooperation, aggression, and curiosity. Most clans in this species engage in territorial wars with adjacent groups; Catfolks are extremely apprehensive of non-Catfolk foreigners, being territorial, intelligent, and independent, and avoiding humans if possible.

Researchers and caregivers get to know every species of Catfolk race. They may exhibit curiosity, arrogance, affection, playfulness, and human recognition. Renowned scientists who have studied the sapient races of both hominids and sapient felids include Jane Goodall and Dian Fossey. Catfolks are still wild cats, yet, because adults are so powerful, they can suddenly become aggressive, and owning them as pets is dangerous because of their claws and teeth. Mature cats can cause considerable harm to people, despite their seeming gentleness.

Every Northern Catfolk is different in its own way. either passive or aggressive based on their reputation and their family influence, including their karma. If attacked, however, they'll attack with just about anything in their hand, even going as far as to run at a foe with a bomb for protection. However, this cat balances their industry and savoir-faire, while the other extols their virtues.

Catfolks will attack the hunter if another relative is attacked. All the Felynes and others in the area will join the attack.

Felynes cannot be tamed!

Bereshit 300,000–70,000 BCE

The Terran Deities were responsible for the creation of felynes, which evolved from wildcats from North Africa to Cyprus in order to create a numerous, hardy, and docile workforce. Humans were the result of forced evolution.

The felynes, however, were shaped to meet the precise needs of their Terran god masters. Humanity and other races finally rose against the "heavenly beings" after a protracted period of forced servitude, and a ten-year battle started. Only the events of the Pleistocene War, which pushed all species to the brink of extinction, brought an end to this battle. The Terran Deities did not fare as well, with the exception of a handful of them, whereas the population of humans assured the species could survive the calamity. The felynes fled and established their own culture.

The southernmost felyne activity site in Cyprus, Aetokremnos, indicates that hunter-gatherers first inhabited the island around 10,000 BC. Village settlements were first established there around 8200 BC. The only huge natural creatures of the island, the 75-cm-high Cyprus dwarf hippopotamus and the 1-meter-tall Cyprus dwarf elephant, became extinct around the time of the first human contact with felynes.

Felynes have records for this history through evolution via human evolution; felynes are descendants of the domesticated cat or African wildcat. Way back in the 2540s, humans claimed that the Reinachos were surely to be annexed to this exoplanet.

Northern Ailyr/Felyne is one of the fairytale characters in Earth Responsibly named Puss. Their own language was a variety of Greek with Hebrew script, and they are descendants of this Hellenic language called Ailyr or Felyne Greek, which was spoken by Greek people in ancient times via the Silk Road.
