[tface=fell][size="6"][COLOR="Black"]T[/COLOR][/tface][/size][tface=callig][color="black"]he domestic feline, commonly known as either a Cat or Kitten (in youth), is found all over Faerûn, and indeed the surface of Toril. Wherever it finds itself it is often much revered and loved for it's playful and whimsical attitude -  Few hearts can truly freeze at the sight of a playing kitten, or purring cat - making the cat an often found companion animal amongst those fortunate enough to acquire them, and as a creature that maintains much of it's hunters instinct it can often be found in service roles; such as the inn cat that keeps the mice at bay. Either pet or proletarian, the cat is an endearing and perfect companion that cannot be matched in either it's capacity to love, or it's skill in hunting small mammals.

[tface=fell][size="6"][COLOR="Black"]T[/COLOR][/tface][/size][tface=callig][color="black"]here is much debate among cat-fanciers (those that care for cats) on the exact moment wherein larger wild cats, and smaller feral cats, became domesticated and suitable for their nature as pets - the Mulhoran have for centuries revered cats through the aspect of Bast, the Cat Goddess, and similarly those native to Chult have hunted alongside Jungle Cats for time immemorial. Just as the ranger calls to the aid of the Panther, do we cat-fanciers call on our more miniature companions for aid - where they might call to take down their foes, we call to cuddle and care for our feline friends. Where they might call to a Tiger to help them hunt, do we call to our kittens when it is time for them to feed. The delicate balance of love and nurture is always present in one's relationship with a cat; for when the food is gone, so too does one find the affection to be gone. Unlike the much loathed domesticated dog, the cat is something on which we must strive to be affectionate toward, for even the most loving creature can leave when it is not paid due heed.
