Shadow cats are friendly but misunderstood creatures. They’re frightened of humans and will always run away if they spot one, leaving nothing behind but a small trail of smoke or they can ‘fade’ and go transparent, this is another way they hide from humans. Something to remember though is any items they are touching does not fade with them, if a shadow cat is wearing a collar for example when they fade a human will see a floating collar.
Shadow cats have a long life span, averaging about 100 years and they don’t need to eat daily but they do need to eat a few times a month. Shadow cats only eat one thing – spirits. They don’t just eat any spirits though, they only eat malicious ones, they’re rather friendly with all of the other spirits. Their feelers on their sides help them sense when spirits are nearby, vibrating softly when they are near one. Their feelers can press flat against their sides or they can make them stand up to appear bigger. The average size of these guys are about the size of a lynx cat. They are often smaller like a regular house cat though and in rare instances can be a lot bigger.
None of the shadow cats have a gender so can mate with any other Shadow Cat as long as they aren't related. They will occasionally meet up during breeding season with random Shadow Cats but once they've settled with a mate - they're set for life. They form a very deep bond and are inseparable; even if their mate dies, they won’t ever pick another.

SkyGoldSince it was mentioned this species has nothing to do with a discontinued species of the same name which can be found
here. The two species are very different they just share the same name.
