These creatures, originally known as Flighted Leopards, are fairly large winged wildcats, all with different colours and markings. Their sizes and colours vary; no AeroCat is truly alike another. They come with different personalities, just like humans do. However, all AeroCats have one thing in common; they all have (at least) one accessory that holds a treasured memory, be it of a loved one or simply a fond moment.
AeroCats tend to be extremely timid around Humans, as they have actually recently discovered our existence! But if you've been deemed trustworthy by an AeroCat, it may decide to become your lifelong companion! Do you have what it takes to befriend an AeroCat?

General Information

Kit - Gerbil to a Rabbit.
Adolescent - Domesticated cat to a German Shepherd.
Adult - Small Great Dane to a Shetland Pony.
It is at their adulthood they stop growing.
Growth Spurt Process
Two human months is one AC year.
That means every five (5) human days is one AC month, considering there are 60 days in 2 months, and 60 ÷ 12 is 5.
From kit to childhood, it will take them 4 human months (2 AC years) to grow.
From child to adulthood, it will take 5 human months (2 1/2 AC years) to grow.
Therefore, it will take 9 human months/4 1/2 AC years until they are fully grown.

AC's can reside anywhere, but they are most commonly found near mountainous terrain, in open fields, in jungles, or in hidden grotto's. However, in rare cases, AC's have been known to wander from their territory and fall captive to Human tricks; in these cases, the AeroCat has been known to be used as a working animal or a fighting animal. People found using AC's for these purposes without the AeroCat's consent are then brought to the High AeroCat Council and severely punished for their crimes.

AeroCats are an omnivorous species. Their diet mainly consists of small animals, like rabbits or birds, and vegetation, such as berries and crops. Because of a certain chemical in their saliva, AeroCats are immune to poisons that would usually kill a human or other animals. Nonetheless, they can actually tell what sort of berries these poisons are found in, and make for good traveling guides.

AeroCats are monogamous animals and mate for life. They also can be of any sexuality, ranging from heterosexual to homosexual.
When AeroCats are blessed with Kits, they usually give birth to a litter of one to three. These kits will stay with their parents until they reach their adolescent years, when they are sent off to find their own tribe. However, like humans, if the kits see their parents or original pack members again after they have found their own tribes, they will treat each other with an incredible amount of hospitality and kindness.

AeroCats live in groups called Tribes. These Tribes usually consist of 4-9 AeroCats, excluding the kits. A Tribe of AC's will defend each other until death, and will usually take in orphaned kits. However, if an adult AeroCat approaches their Tribe, that AC is treated like a hostile threat, and will usually be chased off by the males of the Tribe.
