Werecat

The following is a rough explanation copied from an old conversation. Details may be missing or outdated, and the formatting is incorrect. Unlike half-dragons and werewolves, who are mainly humanoid, werecats are actually mainly cats! They are cats who were taken in by witches as their familiars, and had the Familiar Spell used on them. When the Familiar Spell is used on a cat, they turn into a werecat. Werecats can develop complex thoughts like humans, and they can speak. Their witch can hear them all the time, but otherwise they can choose who can or cannot hear them speaking. Their cat forms are just like regular cats, and are their main form. Their human forms, however, are like humans with cat ears, tails, eyes, and teeth. Their human form's hair/ear/tail match their cat form's fur color. When they switch to human form, they gain clothes that also match their fur color. these clothes are usually very simple but can generally look like anything. they usually contain a choker that represents their bond to their witch. they can remove said clothes if they want to for some reason, but when they turn back into a cat they'll be completely normal, and the removed clothes will vanish. also, werecats can't reproduce, so there's no such thing as a natural-occurring werecat, only 'artificial' ones made through the Familiar Spell. werecats are heavily dependent on their witch- they can only receive healing spells or potions from their witch and if they are too far from their witch for too much time, they'll get very weak and fall into a coma, which could lead to them dying from starvation. (and if a witch intentionally leaves their werecat to die it's considered murder)
