#Original anon I hope you're happy you made Jellicles canon I guess lmao

[bonefall]

question would there be a relatively similar group to the scientist studying the clan cats but for the jellicles? surely the cats somehow becoming relatively bipedal over a period of time would attract at least some interest if not just for the "there are little guys running around wadda ell" factor

I like to think there's a lot of variation in cats in this universe, a little more than normal. Kinda like, trading away some "purebreeds" in exchange for there being more "regional variations," y'know?

(Some purebreeds do exist though but I have more fun making them up than referencing specific breeds)

So Jellicles are like Clan cats, their odd variations aren't too nonstandard. Clan cats probably have,

Sharper claws and thicker pelts

A more developed 'thumb'

A wider range of patterns

Where Jellicles probably have

A thicker clavicle allowing for more motion of the upper arms

"Back heavy" haunches which makes them appear oddly bipedal

It would also be SUPER cool if their legs had that Reindeer hoof clicky thing, which made their dances sound like tapdancing
