《 INTRODUCTION 》
A huge figure chased after a smaller form, snapping and barking as both zig-zagged through alleys, one swiftly leaping over a fence and the other breaking through a loose board under it, continuing the chase unhindered. The cat ran, feeling the dog's jaws ever closer and closer to them, the hot breath burning the back of their neck. The huge jaws snapped shut barely a whisker away from it, and though the gardens opened to the green wilderness, the long run bore its mark upon the feline, their paws giving in to their weight.
When the dog was almost upon the tired creature, suddenly the cat's eyes caught something. The light blurred and distorted at a point before them- it seemed like nothing out of the ordinary, a membranous window, the light caught in the surface of a pond, all at once.
Something deep inside them was lured towards it instinctively, and a paw reached through, then their head, and soon as The Highway accepted the cat, its entire body disappeared from the dog's view and entered the land's wild roads.
They seemed to be in the same place they used to be in, grass under their paws and sky above their head- yet they also seemed to be everywhere, at the birth of the world, at the end of time, all at once. The darkest blue nights, the rose colored dawns, the blood red sun-sets, all of them blended together infinitely.
Cats of all sorts, from each fold of the world, size, breed, gender and scent, all rushed by and through at the speed of shooting stars: strong mollies, handsome jacks, hungry toms, cats old and frail, others thick-furred and graceful. Even they caught glimpses of faint outlines of cats and, towering fainter above them all, huge cat-shaped beasts, with striped hides, or lean spotted frames, or huge manes.. A wind rushed from all directions, almost pulling the newcomer off their feet. This wind and the outlines seemed as if, for each living cat traveling the road, a million memories and ghosts travelled too.
Instinct picked them up again, and they ran, with a size not their own, an energy taking over and making them feel as if they were as big as the huge beasts of times long past, capable of travelling miles without trouble.
At last, their heart longed for reality, for their own time, and the Highway kindly drove them out, to an unknown sea shore. A group of cats was installed nearby, and one saw the newcomer appear. Unlike any self-respecting wild-or-stray cat would, it showed no aggresion- in fact it seemed to talk to the newcomer like a queen would speak to their kits.
"Oh, hello there. First time on the road, ain't it?"

Tale-tellers

Also known as old-timers and many other names. These are cats who, after many adventures, have retired from them. Now, their service to the Felidae consists in telling their tales and fostering the spark of adventure in the younger cats' hearts. Generally these are old or injured cats, and the group honors and serves them.
Warm-bellies
0 / 4
Also known as queens (regardless of gender). These are cats who are expecting or nursing kits (some, occasionally calling themselves nurses, will accept to feed young kits that are not their own). Some cats may choose to stay even after their kits have grown, or without having their own kits at all, to take care of the little-ears.
Little-ears
0 / 10
Also known as little ones, kits or kittens. These are all cats below 6 moons. They have no duties beyond growing and being protected. They must always be supervised and cannot go too far from the group for any reason. Their number and age influences whether the group moves or not.
