Blue Cats

One of the rarest pets in the Island Continent of Bellflower are a species of unusual cats distinguished by their unusual coloration. While called blue cats typically, their fur ranges from green blue and purple. It is also possible to have ones with wings, with which they can glide or at times even fly.
A close relative of the more mundane domesticated cat, most traits are shared. They are fond of grooming, high places, and exhibit a general air of superiority. They are commonly sought after by wizards, witches, nobles, and wealthy merchants.

Basic Information

Genetics and Reproduction

Many of the traits of the blue cats that make them desirable, the extrasensory perception and wings, are recessive. So breading is considered incredibly important. Certain breeds with different hues have come to be associated with some of these recessive traits. So a Purple Tuffed is more likely to exhibit the extrasensory perception while Jade Shorthairs are more likely to breed cats with wings.

Dietary Needs and Habits

Like most cats they are primarily carnivores and hunters. They are especially fond of fish and wild game.
