What is a Sweeten?

Lineart and thread art by Tendo64
Sweetens (a portmanteau of "sweet", "kitten", and "sweeten", scientific name: Felis Sophius) are the result of an evolutionary branch to the domestic cat in an alternative dimension--they're like cats, but a bit smaller (around the size of a rabbit), they're known to have much more variety in colors, markings, and features, and they also evolved to have wings on their backs and feet! This allows them to glide, but only for a few minutes at a time. (Unless your Sweeten is a specific breed of the Sweeten known as a Flyer Sweeten, in which they can fully fly, and are extremely rare!)
Sweetens can be found living primarily in hollow trees (though caves and even burrows are not unheard of), where they construct their dens from soft material, usually feathers (sometimes moss is added as well) they found on the ground. They also take a liking to decorating their nests with shiny things they find from the humans--so hang on tightly to your gold bracelets and pearl necklaces!
Unlike the domestic cat, Sweetens also seem to enjoy music and can be heard humming tunes in the form of trills and chirps. They get their name because, despite being related to cats, they have an outgoing personality more akin to dogs--that is, one that's very playful and, well, sweet! A Sweeten is loyal to the very end, will risk their life to protect their owner in the face of danger, and is a very affectionate creature that loves cuddles, being pet, and playing.
Will a Sweeten manage to capture your heart?

FAQ wrote:Q: How do I adopt a Sweeten?
A: Sweetens are normally obtained through FREE means!
At random times, litters of Sweetens will be posted on the adoption zone post below, in a first-come-first-serve manner. The first user to fill out a form adopting that Sweeten gets them, simple as that! But note that due to community size, these litters will go fast--sometimes even less than a minute, so when litters are announced, make sure you set a reminder to get there right before the drop rather than after, and type fast! (Note: do not fill out forms in advance, there's multiple measures to catch this and will result in disqualification.)
If you can't make it to litters or aren't fast enough, that's okay! Sweetens are often also given out in giveaways in the Discord server (linked above), be it raffles or giveaway games, as are paid options through flatsales and auctions from time to time. The Discord server is a large part of Sweetens and is recommended if Sweetens are something you're really passionate about.
We also have major events on CS during special occasions, where a ton of free Sweetens can usually be earned!
Q: Can I make my own Sweeten/make litters?
A: No, unless you are a member of staff, you cannot use the lineart or make litters. You are allowed to make unofficial Sweeten OCs off-base, but you are not allowed to made adoptables with the intent of selling or otherwise while calling them Sweetens (I don't claim the idea of winged cats, but my take and name for them specifically). They also will not be considered a real Sweeten unless you get a custom of them transferred to the lines.
Q: Can I make my Sweeten my fursona/OC?
A: Of course you can, though I'd be careful about designs directly based on characters from media. (Toyhouse disallows them and will take them down if reported, for example.) See below for info on taking offsite.
Q: What are the links at the top below the logo for?
A: They are as follows:
The Co-Op Archive is a place to store your Sweetens and feathers.
The Past Litters thread documents all released Sweetens, more like the official Chicken Smoothie archive. (Customs/Giveaways links to the documentation of all customs, breedings, and giveaway Sweetens from the Discord server)
The Trading thread is where you make trades/gifts and look for trading partners, as well as where you can give Sweetens up for adoption.
The Breedings/Customs thread is where you can order custom Sweetens or breed your Sweetens!
The Discord Server is the invite for the official Sweetens Discord.
The Fanclub is where you can talk with other community members about Sweetens and look for partners to breed your Sweetens with.
The Dress-up Room is a thread where you can apply items to your Sweeten.
Lineart Transfers is where you can apply for your V.1 Sweeten to be transferred to the new lines.
V.1 links back to the old V.1 thread.
Q: Can I put my Sweeten in my signature/take my Sweetens offsite?
A: Absolutely! If you're uploading them to Toyhouse, please credit my TH username specific to UMAs, which is "Tendo63." Credit the Sweeten's creator by the designer of the Sweeten, and credit the image by my TH for "base" and the designer (with no label.) It's preferred that you list this thread as an additional designer as well.
Q: Can I convert my Sweetens into other species/regular cats?
A: Yes, that's okay. The Sweeten version will still exist however and you still have to abide by trading rules, unless transferred out of the species entirely which you need special permission to do.
Q: When do customs/breedings open?
A: Customs and breedings don't open at a scheduled time, but are opened whenever artists have the free time to get some done! With that in mind, please try to avoid asking this too often ^^;
Q: I noticed the watermarks have different colors. What do they mean?
A: Watermarks are color-coded to signify something important about them.
Black = Regular adopt, be it from a litter, giveaway, or event
Blue = Custom
Magenta = Breeding
Red = Sweeten meant to be a copyrighted character
Green = Untradeable, giftable only
Any watermarks that are a $ instead of an S indicate the Sweeten was purchased with USD, and thus can be resold for such.
Q: What gender is my Sweeten?
A: Whatever you want it to be! Gender is not canonical to Sweetens and it's up to the owner if they want to give their Sweeten a gender.
Q: Who's that Sweeten up there?
A: That's Sophie, our mascot! She's based on my IRL cat, and was the first Sweeten to ever be discovered!
Q: Can I be on the staff team?
A: That depends on if I'm currently hiring! I'll let you know with a poll if I am. Do note that not just anybody will be hired though! Requirements are somewhat strict and positions are not FCFS.
Q: Why did you create Sweetens?
A: Way back when, I was a fanatic for early Chicken Smoothie user-made adoptables like Thimble Kitties, and in 2015 I was an artist for it as well as Mini Kits/Fuzzy Felines. It was always my dream to open my own user-made adoptables thread, but I lacked the skills to make an appealing lineart back then, so any attempts I had flopped. But now I'm a seasoned artist so I decided it was time to achieve my childhood dream!
Q: Where did Sweetens REALLY get its name?
A: The original name for this species was gonna be "Wingies" (you can also see this in early posts) but I changed it because I thought it was too generic. I've always called my cat "my sweeten" or something similar because she's a very sweet cat, and I thought it was cute, so I named the species that! That's also why Sophie is the mascot. She's the original Sweeten :)
