Trelliers

Trelliers (Panthera tendrid) are a smaller species of the big cat genus Panthera. They are fast and agile predators, dwelling in the deserts and grasslands of southern and western Toran. Like their closest relatives the Nooches, they are respected by humans as the messengers of the Goddess: Vlinari. Trelliers are much smaller than their bulkier, furrier northern cousins. Due to this they feed instead on Babbits and small deer and are domesticated as pets rather than mounts.

Biology and Behaviour
Trelliers grow to around 1 metre tall by 1 metre long. These particular cats are easily spotted by their long legs, spotted coat and huge ears. They are agile speed hunters, being able to run up to 50 miles an hour and leap a staggering 3 metres into the air in order to catch prey. They can lead both solitary, semi-social and social lives, depending on the individual cat, its age and sex. Trelliers live for around 25 years, females having a litter of around 3 kittens, once every 7 years. Young remain dependent on their mother for much of that and remain friendly for their entire life. For this reason, and for their intelligence, they are often called the Human Felines.
