Tooka

Tookas, also called tooka-cats or Adoris Felines, were a subspecies of feline cats. They were popular as pets as the carnivores ate many unwanted pests, but were also considered by many to be feral nuisances themselves. When properly trained, they could be excellent hunters of pests. One specific breed of tooka was the Loth-cat, native to the planet Lothal.Star Wars Rebels: Head to Head Tooka were known to enjoy milk. Tooka were common in the underworld of Coruscant, where they hunted nuna.

==Behind the scenes==
Tookas first appeared in the Star Wars franchise as "Adoris feline" in Otherspace, an adventure for Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game. Though this title is now part of Star Wars Legends, tookas were introduced into the Star Wars canon in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, first as a stuffed toy and later as the actual creature. They were named after Dave Filoni's deceased cat, Tuuk. The StarWars.com Encyclopedia connected the Adoris feline to Tookas in its subhead subtitle, also making that name canon.
