or fear felines are willing to admit that cats are graceful,
nimble, and often adorable
If you’re a Dreamlands cat,
you likely:
are busy, active, and aloof
are energetic when interesting things
are going on, but sleep soundly for
hours when no action is afoot
occasionally force other party members
to carry you They may or may not mind,
and you may but probably don’t care
are quiet, curious, and interested in new things
hate cats’ natural enemies (dogs, mice,
birds, whirring machines, etc)
are easily distracted
are highly athletic and can move
fast when you want to
Others probably:
are not always sure if you are sentient or not
(“Is it a normal cat? Can I talk to it?”)
think you are cute, but possibly useless
try to pet or otherwise annoy
you when you are busy
do not understand you or your thought
processes, such as they are
Physiology
Unlike many other predators, cats are exclusively
carnivorous Their teeth are designed only for cutting
and devouring flesh, so while they can clumsily
chew up bread or vegetables, these are poor sources
of nutrition Their digestive tracts are not adapted to
process such food either, and a cat deprived of meat
will quickly suffer significant health issues
Cats have extraordinarily keen senses Their one
defect in this regard is an inability to taste sweetness
When a cat eats cantaloupe or other sweet items it does
not taste the sugar, and instead is reacting to whatever savory elements are present Cats can’t see in complete darkness, but they can rely on their sense of touch, which is amplified by their whiskers, to feel their way around an area
They do not have rigid collarbones, so they can squeeze through any space through which their heads will fit Because they are as long as the cat’s shoulders are wide, their whiskers also serve an additional purpose in indicating whether the cat can fit through a particular opening
Cats are highly vocal when needed Normal cats have more than 100 different vocalizations for various purposes Of course, Dreamlands cats have the same vocal apparatus, but with their greater intellect, they can string different sounds together to create other meanings
It is said that cats have nine lives, which is due to having a Dreamlands self When a cat is killed, its dream self is still alive and can return to the waking world, restoring that cat to life For a cat to die or be destroyed in a single event, both its dream and waking world self must die at the same moment
When a Dreamlands cat is killed, its normal, non-sentient self returns from the dream world, where
it has been relaxing This typically takes 4d6 hours, and the result is a normal cat Of course, that cat may then decide (once more) to become a Dreamlands cat, resulting in the effective resurrection of the character
Cats can only do this self-resurrection eight times (hence “nine lives”) Players should keep track of this
on their character sheets
Note that when a cat is resurrected by a spell or
an item, this does not use up one of its lives Only purposeful self-resurrection increases the count
