New Breeds Of Dog: Giant Corgi

Not actually a humongous giant, this is just a much larger form of the Pembroke Welsh Corgi (the one without a tail). They weigh in at around 70 pounds and are about 18 inches tall at the shoulders. In all other respects, they are exactly like their smaller cousins.

Like all Corgis, the giant version is a herding dog, and because of it’s larger size, it is often used to herd cattle, bison and sometimes hippopotami. They have also been trained to herd small children, a much more difficult task.

New Breeds Of Cat: Sunset Cat

These cats, a mix of several breeds including the Abyssinian, Somali, Tabby and Anerican Shorthair, get their name from their spectacular mixing of yellow, orange and red fur. They so indeed look like a sunset.

A medium coated cat, they are average in size, but extremely intelligent. When left alone, they have been known to order treats and toys from Amazon, so make sure your credit cards are safe.

The Sunset tends to be a one person cat and can be quite standoffish if you are not that person. On the other hand, they seem to really like dogs and small children. They do not tend to like other cats.

New Breeds Of Cat: MultiCat!

Nobody has the slightest idea where MultiCat! came from. The best scientific theory that he came from some alternate dimension is just as valid as the ones that say he’s magical or a gift from (insert your favorite deity here) or he’s a product of a Secret Government Experiment or that he’s an alien. Whatever the case, MultiCat! has been here for 5 years and shows no sign of leaving.

Describing MultiCat! is difficult because he keeps changing the way he looks, but we do know that he never weighs less than 10 pounds or more than 40. Everything about him can change, so long as he has the basic form of a cat. The only real constants are his purple eyes and his black collar with MULTICAT! Spelled out in yellow letters.

We do know that, while he often acts like a normal cat, he can understand all human languages and has problem solving skills that are at least human genius level. He has never tried to communicate anything complex to any human, but he has done many great things. Some examples…

While in a blue and green tabby cat form, he lead NASA scientists to a potentially fatal flaw in the cooling system of the new Space Plane.

In a form that looked like a very large Siamese with four dorsal tentacles, he saved an orphanage full of Chinese children from a flood.

He lead a group of botanists to the rare plants that were later grown in the laboratory and used to manufacture a cure for AIDS. He had the form of a very small cat with two very long prehensile tails.

Using a form that had human style hands and an erect walking posture, he assassinated several dictators and terrorist over the course of a month.

MultiCat! Whatever would we do without him?

New Breeds Of Cat: American Shorthair Tiny Cats

On an Earth where magic is extremely rare, but not unheard of, a powerful Mage who also happened to be a Crazy Cat Lady lay dying. Her final spell was to make her 36 American Shorthair Cats so cute that the authorities would not place them in a kill shelter. She cast the spell, smiled at the results, called 911 to come to her house, then died.

When the emergency team got there, they could do nothing for her, but they pretty much fell in love with 36 tiny full grown cats they found sitting quietly around the body of the old Mage. Each of the cats measured about a foot long, including their tails, weighed about a pound. They were sweet tempered, playful and very friendly. Each of the EMTs, cops, firemen and reporters there took home a couple. Not a single cat went unadopted that night.

Today, the American Shorthair Tiny Cat is far and away the most popular cat on that Earth. Owning one is like having a permanent kitten and the food costs for 4 of them is less than the cost for one normal sized cat. Also, you can easily make a litter box out of an old pie tin.

The ASTC has other advantages over a larger cat. They are very healthy and can live up to 30 years. They get along very well with all other animals and do not seem to want to kill your parakeets or hamsters. Most of them are quite easy to train and can learn many tricks.

The ASTC comes in a huge variety of colors and coat patterns. Eye color is always either green or blue.

New Breeds Of Cat: Smart Cats

On the Changed Earth, where magic and magical beings have returned, many species of animals are Smart, which means they are sentient and at least as smart as humans. By law and Wizard Decree, they have all of the rights and privileges as any other sentient being.

Smart Cats are second in population only to Smart Dogs. They look like any sort of normal cat, but can converse telepathically with other sentients and with non sentient normal animals. Their behavior is a mix of cat and human.

A few Smart Cats have opted to “go anthro”, meaning that they ask a Wizard to give them an anthropomorphic body. Such bodies are covered with very fine coats of fur in the color and pattern the Smart Cat originally had. The face is not furry and the head hair is, at least at first, long and silky. Females only have two breasts. Ears are cat style atop the head. All cat people have tails.

Regardless of the age of the Smart Cat, they always start their new Anthro life as a 13 year old cat person. Some Smart Animal philosophers think that is because cats never really stop being teenagers.

It should be pointed out that Smart Cats go anthro at a rate far above any other Smart Animal. There are no dog people at all.

New Breeds Of Cat: Prehensile Tailed Burmese

Developed by breeders in England, the Prehensile Tailed Burmese is in all respects a normal Burmese Cat until you get to that tail. Twice as long as a normal tail, it can grasp things and manipulate them almost as well as a hand. Owners are advised to lock cabinet/refrigerator doors and secure breakables. In homes with dogs, especially larger dogs, the PTB has been known to work in tandem with the dogs to get at edibles.

They can and do use the tail to climb things and seem to enjoy just hanging by them, especially if this will drive small yappy dogs crazy. When out on a leash with their humans, the tail is often wrapped around the leash.

New Breeds Of Cat: Riding Cat

On Earth 128, a fantasy based world, there are no humans and one of the most advanced kingdoms is made up of anthropomorphic rodents. These creatures, who call themselves The Folk, are still only the standard size for their species, so they need a riding beast that is appropriately sized. The answer: Riding Cats.

Riding Cats are slightly larger than our house cats, are much more mellow and are not as smart. This makes them excellent as mounts for The Folk. As with our horses, they vary in size and body conformation. There are large Riding Cats for pulling carts and smaller, sleek & speedy riding cats for racing or just getting around quickly.

Most Riding Cats have medium length hair, which comes in all colors and patterns common to cats. You might wonder what these cats eat, with rodents off the menu. The answer is that they eat the meat of goats, pigs, cattle, chickens and other livestock & poultry. Fish is also on the menu frequently. They will also eat insects and vegetables.

The majority of riding cats are quite gentle, but there are a few (mostly younger toms) who can never be trained. These young broncos are used as breeding stock and often produce outstanding racers.

New Breeds Of Cat: Dwarf Portuguese Jungle Cat

The Dwarf Portuguese Jungle Cat is among the rarest of breeds. In fact, there is so far only one specimen known, a male named Flash. If he is indicative of the species, then we can assume that they are tiny, cute and unrepentant scalawags.

The DPJC weighs in at only 6 pounds, has short hair that is striped exactly like that of a tiger and has large green eyes. The ears are somewhat rounded, adding to the tigerish look. These cats are very playful and get along well with most dogs, but they are never to be trusted around rodents, rabbits or any bird smaller than a goose. When angered, the DPJC will fight with amazing ferocity.

The DPJC has also shown the ability to eat huge quantities of food of all sorts. Shortly thereafter, they fall into a very deep food coma, during which one can handle them or even bathe them without waking them.

The DPJC is also a cat that likes the ladies. They will attempt to mate with females many times their size, often quite successfully.
