Cat (specie)

Cats are a specie or anthropomorphic and feral felines featured in Kitty Pride, the series' main character, Gatto Levigato is a cat.

Although civilized, cats still maintain a very animal-like attitude, which is cultural to them. They are the natural heirs of the skelynxes of prehistoric times.

## **Behaviors**

Concerning their more animalistic behaviors, cats are all playful to varying degree and purr when they are happy. Cat houses often have cat flaps, although cats know how to use doors. A dialogue at the nostalgia's house says that cats hate water and bathing, because they wash themselves with their tongues and their brains end up directly mixing water with saliva.

Concerning their food, there exist a special milk made for cats, sweeter than ordinary milk. Drake gives some to Gatto at the very beginning of the adventure when he scams a mega-mouse. They also eat giant kibbles. These kibbles are not like real-life kibbles, but are pre-fried, cheese-filled doughs on which they put different spices and are eaten in a bowl. Drake usually keeps a big bag of kibbles for Gatto at their home.

The doubt and the nostalgia also both indicate that cats distinguish between noble and less noble breeds. More noble breeds tend to be more calm, cute and affective, like Gatto. While less noble breeds are more troublesome, active and egoistic like Romi and SkullCat. Cats tend to all like wool, and easily befriend wooly animals, even big and dangerous ones such as pigritas.

Although, the wool forest seems to attract all kind of felines. As a cheetah can also be found in it.

## Relations to other species

* **Pigritas** - Pigritas live in the wool forest and cohabit with cats, although the relationship between cats and pigritas is unclear. A cat in the wool forest says that Nermal has driven out all the pigritas that used to live here, but he seems indifferent to it.
* **Mice** - In the House of Nostagia, gatto indicates that cats used to enslave mice up until twenty years ago. Fineas' experience show that, generally, enslaved mice never met other mice in their entire lives.
* **Canines in general** - There are no cats or felines in Flightown, which is a city of canines. However, Gatto loves canines and Romi worked with Joly, a wolf, for years without any racial problem.
