- The timer is way off; my WiFi went out last night so I had to leave it open. ^^"
Due to how much work and effort I did put into this, however, if this species wins the contest, I would like to be credited with it's creation. Blue, I will PM you and we can talk about it. c:
**I plan on adding more candies and bows later on.

WHAT IS A . C A N D Y B O W K I T T E N . ?
A Candy Bow Kitten, or CBK, is a small feline with a characteristic bow tied around it's fluffy tail, featuring a type of candy, usually one which the kitten makes. Their bows reflect their personality, and being without one can be detrimental to their emotional state. Bows are made of ribbon, cloth or other soft materials they find. Their coats are long and luxuriously soft; they take great care to maintain them. When a kitten is born, they acquire a bow immediately; after they reach one year of age, they choose a type of candy to make and join a confectionery house, where the candies continue to be made for the species. Candies not only mark where a kitten works, but they are also a sign of wealth and well-being within the CBK community. An adult with a bow but without a candy is not unheard of, but it is uncommon.
PERSONALITY, SIZE, DIET & HABITAT
Candy Bow Kittens once thrived alone as a species, living near human environments but never in them. Once they associated with humankind, they hit it off immediately; the little felines appreciated the indoor life... But their talents in confectionery arts were manipulated, and soon the kittens began shying away from humans. Now, after a long while of rehabilitating the kittens and mankind to work together, they live in harmony once again. They are quite appealing as a species: small, being about the size of a Ragdoll cat, with a sweet but incredibly posh personality; they demand the finer things in life. Though they can come off as snooty, they grow quite attached to their owners and handlers, provided one can appreciate cuddles, and offer a sufficient amount of tuna: they love seafood.
SPECIES STANDARDS
-- a bow is standard. a kitten without a bow means they are dejected, depressed or a rogue in the community.
-- their coats are only ever natural colors -- no neon pinks, electric blues or purple polka dots.
-- their eyes are also natural cat eye colors.
-- they are no larger than a common house cat, usually as small as a Radgoll, or Ragamuffin.
