Yes,the critters I cooked up at age 13. Enjoy.
Felinician:
Furry cat like creatures. Come in many varieties and colors. No two are exactly alike.
Tallest on record was 5'0"
Smallest on record was 1'2"
Average height for a female is 3'6"
Average for a male 3'9"
Females have smaller heads and rounder bodies than males. Similarly proportioned to humans. Have finger/toe like appendages on paws/hands. Number varies. Usually five though.
They like belly/ back rubs,meat,and playing around. Unlike Earth cats, they mate for life.
Normally very musically talented or math oriented. Sometimes both.
Found on: Felinica
Related species:
R'coon:
Similar to a Felinician only they look like racoons. That's about the only difference.
Found on: Felinica
L'morian:
Small lemur like creatures. Fast tempered and easily frightened or excited.
Found on:Felinica and K9
Similar Species:
Ka'nin( pronounced Kay nine)
Think Felinican,only dog. They like playing ball, belly rubs,fire hydrants,and chasing their cat like neighbors.
Found on : K9
Felinica and K9 are both Earth like planets,only with cleaner atmospheres.
K9 is a bit more cluttered up...because dogs are crappy house keepers.
Felinicians have major road rage issues.
Put three or four that have anger management problems in the same traffic jams,and it goes crazy. Like..people..but..with more anger and hissing,less swearing.
I forgot to mention the Felinician Fox. They're actually Ka'nin...but since they're more "high class" or whatever,they hang out with the cats instead of their dog-ish cousins.
The female foxes are generally smaller than the female Felinicians. (E.g. Flamey only comes up to Demi's nose--that's not counting the ears.)
The males vary.
Beliefs/Religion:
Um... there are churches on the planet,but those are mainly for weddings or funerals. Fellies think there may be some supreme being,but they're not sure. They just kinda hope for the best in that area. You could call them agnostic.
They do know,however,that they did not evolve.
They have a basic moral code:
Don't sass your parents.
Don't steal.
Don't lie.
Don't cuss (Nomads get away with swearing in OTF though.)
Keep your paws off my mate or else you won't live to see the sun rise.
Ditch your family and you'll be an outcast.
Fellies(Felinicians) in general:
The brighter the fur color,the more central the origin.
The more earthy the fur color the more western.
White/light tan/yellow/gray are from Norrthernlinds
Parts of Felinica:
Norrthernlinds
Northern most part of the planet. Cold wintry weather most of the year.
Home to: Longhairs,Felly Foxes and a few wolves.
Centralia:
This is the America of the planet.
Freedom reigns here.
Home to:
d.oomsnakes,any type of Felinician,a few Ka'nins and one family of human-like creatures.
Wistern:
Felinicians from here sound European or Russian. The farther west the more Oriental they sound.
Home to Felly Foxes,Small wolves,do.omsnakes,Persians(stuck up long hairs)
D.U.
Basically a U.K/Australia
Home to: Felly foxes, shorthairs,and Manx's.
A Doo.msnake is a formidable creature. It's 50-70 feet long and lethal. The only way to take its life permanently is to chop off its head and bury it 20 feet from the body. Failure to do so and the snake will come back to life again. CREEPY.
Manxs are just tailless Felinicians. (Like Bugg) They're adorable but sensitive about the lack of tail thing.
Persians have a smooshed face(like Earth persian cats). They're very snobby. Legend has it that the original Persians had long noses,and liked to stick them up in the air. Walking with their noses stuck in the air hampered their vision,so they walked into hard things...like walls. After several hundred years of getting smashed,the schnozz stopped developing fully. Unfortunately,the Persians didn't learn from this,so they still walk around with their noses in the air. Now they look even stupider than they did at first.
Eyes:
Fellies have eyes of all colors.
The most common colors: light green(Shelley), dark green(Mud&Flamey),yellow(Maurice,Joe,Kinx),light blue(Demi,when she's happy.)
not as common: dual eyes.(Split,his are blue and green) Which would be a blue eye and green eye,a yellow and green, a blue and yellow.......you get the idea...
Rare colors: Dark blue(Rayne),brown(Ben&Skoodie),gray,purple(Phoenix).
Extremely rare: Gold(Artemis),pink, & silver. Golden eyes look like yellow, but they glitter in the sunlight. Silver look like gray,but have less blue in them...and they sparkle.
Pink eyes are found only in albinos.
Sayings:
"Playing soccer with a snake head."
Meaning: same as "playing with fire"
origin: An older race of Wistern Felinicians were thrill seekers. They decided to cut off a doo.m snake's head and play a game similar to soccer with it. Not the best move. If a foot collided with the snake's mouth, lethal venom got injected into the poor Fellie's body. He was out cold in 10 seconds.
"Kit"
Meaning: kid,child, baby,offspring...it's short for "kitten"
Origin: some mother...
"Eat my socks."
Meaning: Not literal((XD)). like saying: "Yeah right" or "I don't believe you". Just something silly to say.
Origin: Who knows. Some kid thought it'd be funny. And they were right.
"Chiggen"
Meaning; CHICKEN! =3~~
Only the country bumpkins use it.
Origin: country dialects/accents.
"Hisss/Growl"
Meaning: "Leave me alone.", "I REALLY don't like you.", "You're gonna pay for that.", "I'm really frustrated right now."
Origin: All cats hiss. When a Felinician hisses at you,you'd better leave them alone. Unless they are just hissing or growling in frustration. If this is the case, a pet or belly rub might prove soothing.
"Hiss &Spit"
Meaning: same as a plain hiss,only more so. They don't actually fling saliva around,they just make a spitting sound. You REALLY don't want to mess with a spitter. They'll claw you to peices.
"Hiss Spit & Growl"
This always means a is underway, unless you're armed with catnip and mace,stay out of it.
"Purr" or "rrrrrrr"
meaning: ah, the sound of a contented Fellie! They may be super happy or just hanging out with the love of their life.The louder the purr,the happier the kitty.
Different Fellies purr differently. Some sound like the average house cat,some like a coffee grinder,some like a lawnmower or crinkling cellophane. In large ones it sounds like a happy growl.
Other creatures on the planet:
Any creature you'd find on Earth,
Martians((The creature I think Sparky originated from, though they lack the schnozz and huge 'tennaes.)), butterflies((some butterflies are as big as horses,and if they're tame,you can ride them)) and mops.
Martians:
Creatures that look like Sparky,(same basic build),but instead of huge noses,they just have nostrils(think frog) on the front of their face,in the place a nose should be.
They come in almost any pastel color. They have short fur or even sometimes just fuzz all over them. A Martian's eyes can be any color at all,and their antennae can be any length.
Martians can fly,but that's about it as far as special powers go. Their legs are on the stumpy side,so running is a tad tricky for the lil' fellas.
They originally lived on Mars,but when Earthlings invaded it with robots,they freaked out and fled to Felinica.
The Martians and Felinicians get along pretty well. Some groups dislike each other,but for the most part,they're friends.
Random facts: Martians for some odd reason like to name their kids after places in America. State names or towns. I can name a few off the top of my head. Houston and Austin(as in those towns in Texas),Louis (St.Louis,Missouri),
Tally(Tallahassee,FL),Cali(California.)
No one knows why they name each other this way,they just do.
Mops:
small dog like creatures that resemble mop heads. They have thick, stringy hair all over their bodies. Their eyes aren't visible. They bark and yip and are really playful. Quite intelligent as well. They're good pets for young Felinicians.
Legends:
Mermaids. Half fish,half human with cat ears. The only ones who've seen them are the sailors...and no one trusts them. Whether they actually exist or not is known only by the Fel tribes.
Family life:
Most Families consist of a mother and father and at least two kits.The largest family on record was one of 25(in the same house,all of the same parentage. Crazy,yes?)
The gestation period of a Felinician is about five months. Mom's-to-be get strange food cravings that drive the fathers nuts. (just like in humans. =P)
Mothers are very loving and protective of their babies,don't tick off a mama Fellie. Doing so is about as stupid as playing soccer with a doo.m snake.
When a kitten is born, it's pretty helpless. The ears and eyes aren't fully functional for 5 weeks. The tail is short and has a pointed tip.
Kittens under 3 years old can't growl and ones under 5 can't hiss. Instead they bare their teeth and go through the montions. They look adorable when trying to be all tough and mean.
Adolescence:
Can occur anywhere between age 10 and 25. Most are fully grown before age 40.
Young Fellies can be totally crazy,but they usually mellow out a bit by the time they're 50...hopefully. Once they reach the age of 50,they begin aging slower than before.
Fifty ofr a Felinician is like 20 for a human. Done growing,just hit adulthood.
Average lifespan of a Fellie is 220 to 280 years.
Oldest on record was 320.
The oldest of the lab born ones is 275...and still going strong. His memory isn't all that great anymore though.
Homes:
Most Fellies live in houses or apartments. They're civilized so they live in towns,suburbs,etc.
The houses are smaller than ours though. The ceiling, on average, is six feet high.
The ones that live in the desert are Nomadic.
Nomads wear different clothes than other Fellies. Guys wear jeans or shorts, and gals wear tank or halter tops with short shorts.
They love having their bellies rubbed.
Nomads make friends by singing. One will sing a line from a song to another,and if the other sings the next line,they'll befriend each other. If not, then the first will switch songs. They'll keep it up for awhile.
Their culture is a bit different than that of other Centrailians. They trust easily and are very unassuming. They're a bit more friendly and affectionate than the average Felinician.
Nomads are almost always blue with a bright colored belly. Their bright coloring helps keep them from getting lost amongst that sandy dunes they live by. When on a hunt,they camoflauge themselves or just choose to hunt at night.
They greet each other in various ways (Besides song). To a stranger,they just call out a friendly "H'la!"
To a friend,they'll say "h'la" and touch each other's shoulders at the same time.
To a beloved ,they'll reach out and place their hand over their partner's heart and purr.
Diseases:
It sounds silly,but all Felinicians can di.e from lack of affection. It's sometimes called "lack of love sickness" or "lack o'love." They'd call it "L.O.L" but it's not the least bit funny.
No love/no hugs/pats leads to depression and that leads to no eating which leads to a bloated,empty tummy and that brings down their immune system,so they get sicker and sicker until they pass away. ;_;
Single ones that live alone counter this by investing in hand held massagers or faux fur blankets to snuggle with.
Ticks:
Yep. Come summertime,all Fellies have to deal with those pesky pests. Thankfully,fleas aren't an issue.
Felinicinfluenza
This is a rare disease. The symptoms include very high fever,hallucinations,body twitching,instense pain,upset stomach,cold sweats, mood swings and depression.
"Fellie Flu", as they call it, is normally lethal. Only a handful have survived. The cure is unknown,though to help alleviate the symptoms,patients with it are put together. Somehow they seem to cheer each other up.
Chicken pox:
Do I REALLY have to describe this one?
They also can catch colds and have allergies. Sometimes,they're even allergic to each other. O.o Scientists are working on that one. Some must have dander issues or something.
Anatomy:
Males have squarish shaped heads. Females' heads tend to be a tad more rectangular and a bit smaller.
Male bodies are thick/blocky.
Females have soft curves which can be subtle or quite dramatic. Occasionally you find a female with no shape.
The only time a Felinician is na.ked is when all their fur has been shaved off. The fur is like a pair of long johns they've been born with,so,don't be surprised if one is seen with nothing but their fur on. Why wear two layers when it's hot outside?
Holidays:
Halloween: Um..duh. No creepy stuff behind this version though. Fellies just wanted a good excuse to dress up in outrageous costumes and get a free sugar buzz.
Christmas:
Same as Earth's Christmas.Though,they altered the story of Santa Claus. He's known as "Saintly Claws" , "Santa Paws " or "Santa Claws". To them(the ones who believe anyhow) he's a roly poly, very fat, red and white Fellie who has 10 magic moose pulling his sleigh( 8 reindeer weren't strong enough). Their names are: Dash,Dance,Fancy Pants, Lloyd,Shimmer,Glimmer, Sneezy, Errgh, Dennis,Flabbergast and Randolf.
Randolf acci.dentally put his snout in a tub of to.xic waste. His face glows orange on stormy nights.
D.O.L(Day of Liberation)
A Ka'nin tyrant(which is a rare find on that planet) took over the eastern section of Wistern and began making slaves out of other Fellies. A large group of them fled across the EastSea to seek relief.
They set up their own government and named the country Centralia.
Enraged,Chozzku( "Cause coo", the tryrant) declared war on the tiny band of rebels.
How'd it end?
The Centrailians kicked Chozzku's butt! They sent him home with his tail between his legs. It wasn't long after that he returned to his own planet.
History tidbits:
Kolostals( that's what the Felinicians called them) were a large("Colossal",hence the name.) race of humanoid like beings.(Approx 10 feet tall on average) Their planet was pretty cold so they used furs to keep warm. They only problem was were these furs came from.
Kolostals were kidnapping the poor, little, fluffy Felinicians to line their coats.
That is,until a youngster named Korbin Jedidiah McCormick came along.
He found the factories where the coats were made...and the fur that lined them.
When he first saw the Fellies,he was enamored with them. And he was mortified at what his fellow beings were doing to the sweet little creatures.
Enraged,he smuggled all the "darlings"( that's what he called them) he could home in his back pack.
They were half staved,their fur was dull and their eyes had no shine.
Since he was studying to be a doctor,K.J. took up the task of healing this handful of space felines.
It proved frutiful. Once they were healed,K.J tried to think of a way to convince his comrades to use faux fur in their coats.Again,K.J was sucessful and a peace treaty was signed between the planets. K.J decided to dedicate his life to studying/helping Fellies,and now lives in Centrailia.
Other stuff:
Most Fellies looks like house cats that have been dunked in Kool-aid. Not so with this one group. They look like little versions of Earth's "big cats". Bobcats,lions,tigers,lynxs,cougars,panthers,leopards,cheetahs all make up this little known group.
They keep to themselves and live on the various islands in the EastSea.
((Thanks to Kitsune for giving me this idea.))
Old time Fellie (OTF,aka Felii [Feel-lee-i]) :
An ancient language. It's now mainly used by the Fel tribes and Nomads. More modern Felinicians know it exists,but don't ever speak it. So,you'll catch Artemis using these terms,but none of my other oc's really speak it. (Demi does know a few of the insults though)
The language consists of words that sound similar to Earth words.However, the meaning can be totally different. They rarely use the letter C, K makes the "kuh" sound here.
J's and g's instead of saying "guh" or "juh",respectively, usually come out like "sh"
So,a Fellie named George would be called "Sha-sh" in Felii.(Not to be confused with a French accent)
Words:
Ary'huh'fiv tee wen! (R-ee HUH fev te wen)- An expletive. Sometimes shortened to "Ary!", "Aryheh!" or "Aryhuh!"

Relax my precious one.
No need to fret.
Whatever is upsetting you,
about it
just forget.
Sleep now.
For all is well. "
Sai Ayra means "sun adore". This tribe likes to sunbathe, XD
Other info:
Despite their usual peaceful nature,Felinica has an army. They're very good fighters. Even though they're a small speices;a couple million of them,raging mad and armed to the teeth is a major force to be reckoned with.
Most of the time that they do fight is spent warding off invaders. They don't mind when other aliens come to visit,but if they try to take over,Fellies will fight to the death for their freedom.
Felinicians are extremely playful. They love to run around like little kids,playing any game they can think of. Playing like kittens helps them remain calm when they need to,instead of randomly chasing lights up the wall or attacking a box.
Fellies have the cat like instincts to pounce and squabble so wrestling and scuffling are big time favorites,even among gi.rls.
When a male wrestles a female,he's more gentle than when wrestling another male.He's most likely to just growl at her and hold her down. He'll keep to one side or the other of her. Straddling the opposite gender is a MAJOR no-no.They also love games like Tag and Hide & Seek.
Affection:
These guys are very affectionate creatures. They show affection in many different ways. Fellies love to hug,cuddle,nuzzle,pet(like heads and backs. nothing off color) and kiss(sometimes they lick each others cheeks,but that's more of a Nomad and Wildcat thing). Often times you'll see a male and female walking arm in arm or with their tails entwined about each other's waists.
When they're being playful,couples will gum each others ears or pounce on each other.
If a female totally trusts a male,she'll let him play with her tail or rub her back or tummy. (Guys tend to like having their chests rubbed)
Flirting/courtship
Yeah...
Felinicians flirt like people do... they're just a little less sick about it. They don't normally comment on body parts(unless it's faicial features). Females tend to be a bit more...flamboyant in this area. They'll sit around,just looking cute. If they see a male they find attractive,they'll flounce("parada" in old time Fellie) around him,bat their eyes,giggle,sing or even flat out ignore him.
Males have better luck if they do things for the females,like get her flowers or candy, hold open doors for her or hug her when she's crying. The simplest things often mean the most.
Felinicians can also smell things humans can't. Just by sniffing the air around another,they can usually tell how they're feeling,their gender,and when the last time they took a bath was.
They can also smell hormones/pheremones.This comes in handy around feminine looking guys or gir.ls who look manly.
Other random factoids:
McDonald's does NOT exist here. They do, however, have restaurants that resemble Cracker Barrel (Cookie Jar),Denny's ( D.J.'s), Burger King( Beefy Prince XD), Wendy's (Mindy's) Dairy Queen(Custard Palace) and a great many other places.
Skinny jeans aren't made for guys here. If a guy wants skinny pants,he'll have to buy his jeans a few sizes too small or go shopping in the women's department. Most males are too active for tight pants anyway.
However....those girrly v neck shirts are available.
Mud: @_e
Sports and games:
Fellies play Lacrosse,Polo,Softball/baseball, broom/kick ball and rugby (and sometimes football, but that normally turns into WWE smackdown) .
They'll surf,ride bikes,and skateboard too.
They have some sports they came up with.
Pawball: Felinician soccer. Except ,you're allowed to use your elbows to hit the ball or to block an opponent from taking the ball away,and your tail to whack the ball around. Hands,however,are not permitted.
Street surfing:
Sounds painful...but it's not. Fellies will grab boogie boards,open up a fire hydrant and go zipping down the street on a stream of water. The goal is to stand up and not fall off the board. Bonus points for attempting tricks.
DON'T PLAY THIS WHEN IT'S BELOW FREEZING OUTSIDE.
Muck wrestling: rolling around and brawling in a mud pit. How fun! And you thought cat were neat freaks.=P
SPRIONG!- bungee jumping basically. They just prefer to make the noise the cord makes.
Sproing snap- don't play this game. It's...um...painful. to say the least.
THE GAME-I'm not describing this one. By the way,I just lost.
Felinician:
Furry cat like creatures. Come in many varieties and colors. No two are exactly alike.
Tallest on record was 5'0"
Smallest on record was 1'2"
Average height for a female is 3'6"
Average for a male 3'9"
Females have smaller heads and rounder bodies than males. Similarly proportioned to humans. Have finger/toe like appendages on paws/hands. Number varies. Usually five though.
They like belly/ back rubs,meat,and playing around. Unlike Earth cats, they mate for life.
Normally very musically talented or math oriented. Sometimes both.
Found on: Felinica

R'coon:
Similar to a Felinician only they look like racoons. That's about the only difference.

L'morian:
Small lemur like creatures. Fast tempered and easily frightened or excited.
Found on:Felinica and K9
Similar Species:
Ka'nin( pronounced Kay nine)
Think Felinican,only dog. They like playing ball, belly rubs,fire hydrants,and chasing their cat like neighbors.
Found on : K9
Felinica and K9 are both Earth like planets,only with cleaner atmospheres.
K9 is a bit more cluttered up...because dogs are crappy house keepers.
Felinicians have major road rage issues.
Put three or four that have anger management problems in the same traffic jams,and it goes crazy. Like..people..but..with more anger and hissing,less swearing.
I forgot to mention the Felinician Fox. They're actually Ka'nin...but since they're more "high class" or whatever,they hang out with the cats instead of their dog-ish cousins.
The female foxes are generally smaller than the female Felinicians. (E.g. Flamey only comes up to Demi's nose--that's not counting the ears.)
The males vary.
Beliefs/Religion:
Um... there are churches on the planet,but those are mainly for weddings or funerals. Fellies think there may be some supreme being,but they're not sure. They just kinda hope for the best in that area. You could call them agnostic.

They have a basic moral code:
Don't sass your parents.
Don't steal.
Don't lie.
Don't cuss (Nomads get away with swearing in OTF though.)
Keep your paws off my mate or else you won't live to see the sun rise.
Ditch your family and you'll be an outcast.

Origin: Who knows. Some kid thought it'd be funny. And they were right.
"Chiggen"
Meaning; CHICKEN! =3~~
Only the country bumpkins use it.
Origin: country dialects/accents.
"Hisss/Growl"
Meaning: "Leave me alone.", "I REALLY don't like you.", "You're gonna pay for that.", "I'm really frustrated right now."
Origin: All cats hiss. When a Felinician hisses at you,you'd better leave them alone. Unless they are just hissing or growling in frustration. If this is the case, a pet or belly rub might prove soothing.
"Hiss &Spit"
Meaning: same as a plain hiss,only more so. They don't actually fling saliva around,they just make a spitting sound. You REALLY don't want to mess with a spitter. They'll claw you to peices.
"Hiss Spit & Growl"
This always means a is underway, unless you're armed with catnip and mace,stay out of it.
"Purr" or "rrrrrrr"
meaning: ah, the sound of a contented Fellie! They may be super happy or just hanging out with the love of their life.The louder the purr,the happier the kitty.
Different Fellies purr differently. Some sound like the average house cat,some like a coffee grinder,some like a lawnmower or crinkling cellophane. In large ones it sounds like a happy growl.
Other creatures on the planet:
Any creature you'd find on Earth,
Martians((The creature I think Sparky originated from, though they lack the schnozz and huge 'tennaes.)), butterflies((some butterflies are as big as horses,and if they're tame,you can ride them)) and mops.
Martians:
Creatures that look like Sparky,(same basic build),but instead of huge noses,they just have nostrils(think frog) on the front of their face,in the place a nose should be.
They come in almost any pastel color. They have short fur or even sometimes just fuzz all over them. A Martian's eyes can be any color at all,and their antennae can be any length.
Martians can fly,but that's about it as far as special powers go. Their legs are on the stumpy side,so running is a tad tricky for the lil' fellas.
They originally lived on Mars,but when Earthlings invaded it with robots,they freaked out and fled to Felinica.
The Martians and Felinicians get along pretty well. Some groups dislike each other,but for the most part,they're friends.
Random facts: Martians for some odd reason like to name their kids after places in America. State names or towns. I can name a few off the top of my head. Houston and Austin(as in those towns in Texas),Louis (St.Louis,Missouri),
Tally(Tallahassee,FL),Cali(California.)
No one knows why they name each other this way,they just do.
Mops:
small dog like creatures that resemble mop heads. They have thick, stringy hair all over their bodies. Their eyes aren't visible. They bark and yip and are really playful. Quite intelligent as well. They're good pets for young Felinicians.
Legends:
Mermaids. Half fish,half human with cat ears. The only ones who've seen them are the sailors...and no one trusts them. Whether they actually exist or not is known only by the Fel tribes.
Family life:
Most Families consist of a mother and father and at least two kits.The largest family on record was one of 25(in the same house,all of the same parentage. Crazy,yes?)
The gestation period of a Felinician is about five months. Mom's-to-be get strange food cravings that drive the fathers nuts. (just like in humans. =P)
Mothers are very loving and protective of their babies,don't tick off a mama Fellie. Doing so is about as stupid as playing soccer with a doo.m snake.
When a kitten is born, it's pretty helpless. The ears and eyes aren't fully functional for 5 weeks. The tail is short and has a pointed tip.
Kittens under 3 years old can't growl and ones under 5 can't hiss. Instead they bare their teeth and go through the montions. They look adorable when trying to be all tough and mean.
Adolescence:
Can occur anywhere between age 10 and 25. Most are fully grown before age 40.
Young Fellies can be totally crazy,but they usually mellow out a bit by the time they're 50...hopefully. Once they reach the age of 50,they begin aging slower than before.
Fifty ofr a Felinician is like 20 for a human. Done growing,just hit adulthood.
Average lifespan of a Fellie is 220 to 280 years.
Oldest on record was 320.
The oldest of the lab born ones is 275...and still going strong. His memory isn't all that great anymore though.
Homes:
Most Fellies live in houses or apartments. They're civilized so they live in towns,suburbs,etc.
The houses are smaller than ours though. The ceiling, on average, is six feet high.
The ones that live in the desert are Nomadic.
Nomads wear different clothes than other Fellies. Guys wear jeans or shorts, and gals wear tank or halter tops with short shorts.
They love having their bellies rubbed.
Nomads make friends by singing. One will sing a line from a song to another,and if the other sings the next line,they'll befriend each other. If not, then the first will switch songs. They'll keep it up for awhile.
Their culture is a bit different than that of other Centrailians. They trust easily and are very unassuming. They're a bit more friendly and affectionate than the average Felinician.
Nomads are almost always blue with a bright colored belly. Their bright coloring helps keep them from getting lost amongst that sandy dunes they live by. When on a hunt,they camoflauge themselves or just choose to hunt at night.
They greet each other in various ways (Besides song). To a stranger,they just call out a friendly "H'la!"
To a friend,they'll say "h'la" and touch each other's shoulders at the same time.
To a beloved ,they'll reach out and place their hand over their partner's heart and purr.
Diseases:
It sounds silly,but all Felinicians can di.e from lack of affection. It's sometimes called "lack of love sickness" or "lack o'love." They'd call it "L.O.L" but it's not the least bit funny.
No love/no hugs/pats leads to depression and that leads to no eating which leads to a bloated,empty tummy and that brings down their immune system,so they get sicker and sicker until they pass away. ;_;
Single ones that live alone counter this by investing in hand held massagers or faux fur blankets to snuggle with.
Ticks:
Yep. Come summertime,all Fellies have to deal with those pesky pests. Thankfully,fleas aren't an issue.
Felinicinfluenza
This is a rare disease. The symptoms include very high fever,hallucinations,body twitching,instense pain,upset stomach,cold sweats, mood swings and depression.
"Fellie Flu", as they call it, is normally lethal. Only a handful have survived. The cure is unknown,though to help alleviate the symptoms,patients with it are put together. Somehow they seem to cheer each other up.
Chicken pox:
Do I REALLY have to describe this one?
They also can catch colds and have allergies. Sometimes,they're even allergic to each other. O.o Scientists are working on that one. Some must have dander issues or something.
Anatomy:
Males have squarish shaped heads. Females' heads tend to be a tad more rectangular and a bit smaller.
Male bodies are thick/blocky.
Females have soft curves which can be subtle or quite dramatic. Occasionally you find a female with no shape.
The only time a Felinician is na.ked is when all their fur has been shaved off. The fur is like a pair of long johns they've been born with,so,don't be surprised if one is seen with nothing but their fur on. Why wear two layers when it's hot outside?
Holidays:
Halloween: Um..duh. No creepy stuff behind this version though. Fellies just wanted a good excuse to dress up in outrageous costumes and get a free sugar buzz.
Christmas:
Same as Earth's Christmas.Though,they altered the story of Santa Claus. He's known as "Saintly Claws" , "Santa Paws " or "Santa Claws". To them(the ones who believe anyhow) he's a roly poly, very fat, red and white Fellie who has 10 magic moose pulling his sleigh( 8 reindeer weren't strong enough). Their names are: Dash,Dance,Fancy Pants, Lloyd,Shimmer,Glimmer, Sneezy, Errgh, Dennis,Flabbergast and Randolf.
Randolf acci.dentally put his snout in a tub of to.xic waste. His face glows orange on stormy nights.
D.O.L(Day of Liberation)
A Ka'nin tyrant(which is a rare find on that planet) took over the eastern section of Wistern and began making slaves out of other Fellies. A large group of them fled across the EastSea to seek relief.
They set up their own government and named the country Centralia.
Enraged,Chozzku( "Cause coo", the tryrant) declared war on the tiny band of rebels.
How'd it end?
The Centrailians kicked Chozzku's butt! They sent him home with his tail between his legs. It wasn't long after that he returned to his own planet.
History tidbits:
Kolostals( that's what the Felinicians called them) were a large("Colossal",hence the name.) race of humanoid like beings.(Approx 10 feet tall on average) Their planet was pretty cold so they used furs to keep warm. They only problem was were these furs came from.
Kolostals were kidnapping the poor, little, fluffy Felinicians to line their coats.
That is,until a youngster named Korbin Jedidiah McCormick came along.
He found the factories where the coats were made...and the fur that lined them.
When he first saw the Fellies,he was enamored with them. And he was mortified at what his fellow beings were doing to the sweet little creatures.
Enraged,he smuggled all the "darlings"( that's what he called them) he could home in his back pack.
They were half staved,their fur was dull and their eyes had no shine.
Since he was studying to be a doctor,K.J. took up the task of healing this handful of space felines.
It proved frutiful. Once they were healed,K.J tried to think of a way to convince his comrades to use faux fur in their coats.Again,K.J was sucessful and a peace treaty was signed between the planets. K.J decided to dedicate his life to studying/helping Fellies,and now lives in Centrailia.
Other stuff:
Most Fellies looks like house cats that have been dunked in Kool-aid. Not so with this one group. They look like little versions of Earth's "big cats". Bobcats,lions,tigers,lynxs,cougars,panthers,leopards,cheetahs all make up this little known group.
They keep to themselves and live on the various islands in the EastSea.
((Thanks to Kitsune for giving me this idea.))
Old time Fellie (OTF,aka Felii [Feel-lee-i]) :
An ancient language. It's now mainly used by the Fel tribes and Nomads. More modern Felinicians know it exists,but don't ever speak it. So,you'll catch Artemis using these terms,but none of my other oc's really speak it. (Demi does know a few of the insults though)
The language consists of words that sound similar to Earth words.However, the meaning can be totally different. They rarely use the letter C, K makes the "kuh" sound here.
J's and g's instead of saying "guh" or "juh",respectively, usually come out like "sh"
So,a Fellie named George would be called "Sha-sh" in Felii.(Not to be confused with a French accent)
Words:
Ary'huh'fiv tee wen! (R-ee HUH fev te wen)- An expletive. Sometimes shortened to "Ary!", "Aryheh!" or "Aryhuh!"

Sai Ayra means "sun adore". This tribe likes to sunbathe, XD
Other info:
Despite their usual peaceful nature,Felinica has an army. They're very good fighters. Even though they're a small speices;a couple million of them,raging mad and armed to the teeth is a major force to be reckoned with.
Most of the time that they do fight is spent warding off invaders. They don't mind when other aliens come to visit,but if they try to take over,Fellies will fight to the death for their freedom.
Felinicians are extremely playful. They love to run around like little kids,playing any game they can think of. Playing like kittens helps them remain calm when they need to,instead of randomly chasing lights up the wall or attacking a box.
Fellies have the cat like instincts to pounce and squabble so wrestling and scuffling are big time favorites,even among gi.rls.
When a male wrestles a female,he's more gentle than when wrestling another male.He's most likely to just growl at her and hold her down. He'll keep to one side or the other of her. Straddling the opposite gender is a MAJOR no-no.They also love games like Tag and Hide & Seek.
Affection:
These guys are very affectionate creatures. They show affection in many different ways. Fellies love to hug,cuddle,nuzzle,pet(like heads and backs. nothing off color) and kiss(sometimes they lick each others cheeks,but that's more of a Nomad and Wildcat thing). Often times you'll see a male and female walking arm in arm or with their tails entwined about each other's waists.
When they're being playful,couples will gum each others ears or pounce on each other.
If a female totally trusts a male,she'll let him play with her tail or rub her back or tummy. (Guys tend to like having their chests rubbed)
Flirting/courtship
Yeah...
Felinicians flirt like people do... they're just a little less sick about it. They don't normally comment on body parts(unless it's faicial features). Females tend to be a bit more...flamboyant in this area. They'll sit around,just looking cute. If they see a male they find attractive,they'll flounce("parada" in old time Fellie) around him,bat their eyes,giggle,sing or even flat out ignore him.
Males have better luck if they do things for the females,like get her flowers or candy, hold open doors for her or hug her when she's crying. The simplest things often mean the most.
Felinicians can also smell things humans can't. Just by sniffing the air around another,they can usually tell how they're feeling,their gender,and when the last time they took a bath was.
They can also smell hormones/pheremones.This comes in handy around feminine looking guys or gir.ls who look manly.
Other random factoids:
McDonald's does NOT exist here. They do, however, have restaurants that resemble Cracker Barrel (Cookie Jar),Denny's ( D.J.'s), Burger King( Beefy Prince XD), Wendy's (Mindy's) Dairy Queen(Custard Palace) and a great many other places.
Skinny jeans aren't made for guys here. If a guy wants skinny pants,he'll have to buy his jeans a few sizes too small or go shopping in the women's department. Most males are too active for tight pants anyway.
However....those girrly v neck shirts are available.
Mud: @_e
Sports and games:
Fellies play Lacrosse,Polo,Softball/baseball, broom/kick ball and rugby (and sometimes football, but that normally turns into WWE smackdown) .
They'll surf,ride bikes,and skateboard too.
They have some sports they came up with.
Pawball: Felinician soccer. Except ,you're allowed to use your elbows to hit the ball or to block an opponent from taking the ball away,and your tail to whack the ball around. Hands,however,are not permitted.
Street surfing:
Sounds painful...but it's not. Fellies will grab boogie boards,open up a fire hydrant and go zipping down the street on a stream of water. The goal is to stand up and not fall off the board. Bonus points for attempting tricks.
DON'T PLAY THIS WHEN IT'S BELOW FREEZING OUTSIDE.
Muck wrestling: rolling around and brawling in a mud pit. How fun! And you thought cat were neat freaks.=P
SPRIONG!- bungee jumping basically. They just prefer to make the noise the cord makes.
Sproing snap- don't play this game. It's...um...painful. to say the least.
THE GAME-I'm not describing this one. By the way,I just lost.
