Homebrew Awakened Cat (Familiar) Species Details

 

---

A cat is a small, graceful creature known for its soft fur, curious eyes, and quiet independence. Its body moves with effortless balance—each step measured, each leap precise. The coat can be sleek or fluffy, patterned or solid, often paired with eyes that gleam gold, green, or blue. Cats are both hunters and companions, equally content chasing a flickering light or curling up in a sunny nook. Beneath their calm exterior lies a playful spirit, full of mischief, affection, and the occasional mysterious stare that makes you wonder just what they’re thinking.
