A mamonme which resembles a woman with the legs, tail, ears and paws of a cat.
It is unclear when these felines first appeared, however it is rumoured that in the distant past, there existed a large feline known as the kaellas which stalked the highlands of the northern continent as well as the forests of the south and central regions of the world.  Many myths were spread in folklore in these regions.  Some claimed the cats could steal the souls of those who had passed away before the gods could lay claim to them.  Others told of a feline named Great Ears, a demonic being in the form of a kaellas who would grant wishes as long as the populous set fire to living kaellas felines for four days and nights.  Still more claimed that a king of these felines known as Irusan was the size of a large kudeluk and extremely dangerous.  He was said to appear in areas where cats had been ridiculed to defend his species' honour.
During the Grand Changing these creatures were given the gift of a human body with the dexterity, flexibility and agility of a kaellas.  They were named as cat si and drafted into the Demon Kingdom's forces as assassins. The plan quickly fell apart as they were found to be easily distracted and won over by acts of kindness by their would be targets.
These days, cat si resemble beautiful feline women.  They are possessed of hands much like that of a human's, however the finger tips as well as palms, sport hard, cat-like pads.  They exhibit fur upon the forearms, backs of their hands as well as upon their feline legs.  Their feet are typically the paws of a cat. They too possess cat like ears and a tail which emerges from just above the rear of their bodies. While fur and hair colour is highly variable amongst these beings, all exhibit a white heart found upon their crown.
Their personalities while varying typically exhibit a sort of ditziness which oft causes those around them to discount their usefulness.  They too will display an air of aloofness to those to whom they are not yet friends.  Once they have befriended an individual they will behave more playfully and needily, oft draping themselves over the individual or attempting to win their attention when they are involved in other activities or work.  While those who have acquired an intimate relationship may also put on lazy and aloof airs, if their partner exhibits any behaviour which makes said mamonme believe that their relationship is in jeopardy they will oft resort to teary, desperate attempts to win back their beloved’s heart.  This oft occurs as a misunderstanding on their behalf, but will draw out their caring, loving side. In the end these types of situations are usually resolved by promises from their partner that they will be together forever.
While cat si may oft show a lazy and even aloof character at times, it should be noted that they will not hesitate to show their affection for a loved one, even one who has not yet returned their affections.  This will be displayed via amongst other acts, sneaking into the target of their affection’s room to sleep at the foot of his bed, kneading at his shoulders and back and as aforementioned draping their body over the recipient of their affection’s  own. They will also make many statements which make full use of innuendo or share their food as gifts for the one they adore. 
Unfortunately for these mamonme, their trait of being easily distracted usually discounts them from many forms of employment...  however, most due to their graceful posture are capable of operating as models displaying the latest fashion to the world.  Regardless, there are many cat si who fight against their weaknesses to pursue careers in fields many would never even dream of a cat si occupying.
All in all, it is said that life with a cat si while at times annoying is also said to be a very fulfilling endeavour with a truly warm and appreciative partner.
