Felis fabulatus

Felis fabulatus, also referred to as Talking Cats or Chatting Chats, is a sub-species of Felidae mentioned in the Talking Angela app. According to Angela, they are a group of cats who evolved alongside human beings during the stone age.
According to Tom Loves Angela, Angela's grandfather has been studying them for some time now.
== Nature ==
The Felis fabulatus are a group of anthropomorphic cats. They are a branch of the cat family that, unlike regular cats, are tall, sapient creatures that are more intelligent than regular cats and share a very similar intelligence level to humans. Supposedly, some of their features, such as their ability of speech, is even more advanced than human beings. These cats in particular have been shown to live alongside the humans, and are able to run all sorts of jobs, such as news presenting, creating apps, running television programs, and working at stores.
As seen in Talking Tom Shorts, more particularly in episodes such as "Aerobics", they come in all different shapes and sizes, and can come in a variety of colors. The Felis fabulatus supposedly help contribute to human society, according to Angela.
Despite the evolution, Angela can still mention a lot of activity that would come from a regular cat. Angela can mention herself purring, scratching curtains, hissing, meowing, and licking herself clean when talking about her own activity. This is taken further in Talking Tom Cat, Talking Tom Cat 2, and My Talking Tom where petting Tom will make him purr as a result. Various descriptions from the old official store, "talkingfriends.com", would mention Tom scratching curtains, as well.
== History ==
Felis fabulatus split off from domestic cats around three-million years ago, when man started walking the Earth. The cats coevolved alongside dogs and humans, and all three shared a campsite and vested the same interest of protecting their campsite and their young. Hunting groups of cats, dogs, and humans would work together to bring down big prey. In order to coordinate and hunt effectively, the groups developed a language, which is when the names Felis fabulatus and Canis fabulatus were developed. They then began to develop chat rituals to defuse aggression against one another. In order to free their paws for tools and be taller to communicate better with humans, Felis fabulatus then began to walk on their back legs. To support a larger, smarter brain, their bodies became larger. Afterwards, they evolved mating and reproduction to match with humans, by having smaller litters and devoting more time to raising their kittens. In the present day, Felis fabulatus now coexist with humans and help contribute to their society.

== Trivia ==
* When asked, Angela can mention a counterpart species for them, with Ben supposedly being one, called the Canis fabulatus.
* The name of it is a combination of the words "feline" (another word for "cat") and "fabulatus", which is Latin for "to talk" or "to chat", referencing their speech ability.
* According to Angela, Felis fabulatus have a more complex larynx than human beings.
* As they are cats, they cannot sweat, apart from a small amount on their paws. Instead, they cool down by panting.
* As they are cats, they do not need deodorant. However, some still choose to use mild perfume for the scent of it, so long as it is not too powerful as they have sensitive noses.
* As they are cats, Felis fabulatus sometimes groom themselves for comfort.
* In the Talking Ginger's Story Time episode "Treasure Hunt", while looking for treasure, Ben digs up fossils of an ancient extinct dinosaur species known as the "Dinocat". The fossils themselves appear to a cat-resemblant dinosaur that once walked the Earth. Although, they do not seem to have a direct relationship to the Felis fabulatus, and more so it seems they were named after them by their slight resemblance to cats.
