Native to the
Dolwood, these arboreal felines are uniquely adapted to feed on bird-life in the trees above and around
Natura. Smallish, weighing no more than between five and ten lbs apiece, Feathertails often have the same browns coloring as most common types of tree bark. However, that’s where their drab features end. Big colorful eyes often match coloring with the long elaborate tails these creatures possess. The tips of their tails, when stood upright, mimic the coloring and plumes of some of the most common songbirds and forest forgers in the region. Their tails, in fact, mimic songbirds so well that even sentient creatures often mistake them for actual birds. The feathertails then bob and dart their tail tips around, mimicking the feeding behavior of songbirds. Hence, the clever Feathertail will sit curled up on a branch, blending into the background, and twitch its tail, making it appear to be any number of things; an interloper encroaching in on another bird’s territory, a potential mate, a curiosity another bird might need to investigate. And once these mimicked songbirds make that mistake, the feathertail normally has them, snatching them out of the sky before they even remotely have a chance realize their mistake and abort their curious approach.
While feathertails are considered wild felines, many people in and around Natura have tamed them and claim they make excellent pets.
