Homebrew Cat-Folk Species Details

Created by the god Bast, the first cat-folk could change their forms at will. They lost this ability when Bast was cast away from godhood, which caused uproar among her creations. The fight back caused the other gods to revoke the shapeshifting they gained.

Cat-Folk ears depend on region and type of Feline they are, some choose to keep fur short and look more angular, some choose to grow it out. Some Cat-Folk choose to bob their tails, either for religious reasons or fighting, "de-Clawing" is seen in Slave Cat-Folk. The pulling on natural claws and shortening of hunting teeth. They live for around 90 years, and they don’t sleep but instead enter a trance when they need to rest. In that state, they remain aware of their surroundings while immersing themselves in memories and meditations.
