A rather non-conspicuous non-threatening form of wild feline, flower weavers or binders are unusually social. Small, cute, and wholly feral, these adorable creatures are gentle and unthreatening even when captured by a person. They average slightly large than domestic housecats and have long fine fur that they have a tendency to tuck and weave flowers into. Flower weavers live in large colonies that burrow into the edge of fields and take over the surrounding area often adjacent to ground squirrel and prairie dog colonies. They feed off these rodents in a non-damaging way, so farmers often are pleased to see a colony move into the area.
They weave flowers, stems, leaves, and anything else they can find into their fur to camouflage their appearance, then stalk the local rodent colonies, often feasting upon birds and insects to sustain their diet. Once they’ve cleaned out a colony of prairie dogs or ground squirrels, the colony as a whole often picks up and moves, looking for the next easy source of food. Although they come in a majority of colorings, Flower weavers are usually tan, brown, or any camouflaged shade of green in coat coloring. Their eyes are large, expressive, and they give them an overall wholly innocent appearance. Flower weavers are capable of massive reproduction, in which each female can easily produce two to five litters a year containing five to ten kittens apiece. As one might imagine, flower weavers are prone to heavy predation themselves. Birds of prey, wolves, dogs, people, even other felines often take them as easy meals because of their gentle natures.
