Homebrew Cat Species Details
The world believes that cats are just a small carnivorous mammal that is generally believed to be a domestic pet. They are actually creatures that pretend to be domestic cats to better insinuate themselves in the lives of humans. The stories of their domestication, that they began to live around humans due to the rodents that were attacking their food stores, is partially true. Humans began to draw the attention of extradimensional creatures and these are their prey. They keep near human civilizations to hunt these creatures for food, fun, and to guard against incursion.
