Cat race

Race cat

Cats -- small, lithe, silent, and suspiciously clever. At times it seems they're appraising you: can you handle the task of feeding them.

They see by infravision and through any invisibility, prowl silently, strike like lightning, and dodge well. Cold doesn't bother them -- the fur holds heat. Fire and water, though, kill a cat outright: burns like dry brush, sinks like a stone.

Their special significance is to felars: a felar must never kill a cat, and the Avenger comes after such a deed without question. To everyone else a cat is either a household freeloader or a back-alley mini-predator.
