Just as a Werewolf is a monstrous wolf like humanoid so is the very rare Werecat. These supernatural beings are terrifying catlike humanoids. However, that is where the similarities end. Werecats are far more powerful than Werewolves, and even most vampires. This is because their origins lie in that of the Earthly Gods either directly descended or indirectly through magic. This is the case most of time. A bite or scratch from a Werecat will not turn a human into a Werecat because there is no Werecat virus like that of the Werewolf Lycanthrope virus or even the vampire virus. Werecats come in many varieties which are referred to by their species-specific name. In addition, a Werecat is not the same as a Demi-Cat aka Neko, or Human-Feline Hybrids. Such creatures are unable to transform their appearance.
Werecat Characteristics

Most species of Werecats have the same general characteristics such as the ability to transform not only into a Werecat form but also a complete cat form indistinguishable from any other animal. This transformation is not beholden to the Full Moon or any other astrological phenomenon. Only seasoned highly trained Werewolves can transform from human to monster at will. Werecats can do this with relative ease as it is a natural reflex for them. They are generally coherent in their Werecat form. Although their emotions are amplified with violent anger usually being at the top of the list. Most werewolves fall into complete mindless monster mode! In full animal form Werecats are less in charge of their mental faculties and will begin to lose their humanity the longer they stay in full cat form.
The Origin Of Werecats
The major varieties of Werecats have their origins in the various ancient cultures of Earth. The first Werecats who are considered the royalty of the Werecat world. They are the decedents of the Egyptian feline Goddess Bastet. The result of a union between her and a human. Close behind are children of Sekhmet the Egyptian Lion Goddess who are considered royalty to the darker forces of Werecat evil, and fight to enforce their status as royals as well. Many Werecats bear allegiance to the dark gods of the Underworld. A place they often visit. Most Werecats are the result of the worship of a feline god or goddess coupled with the enchanted employment of magnificent magic! Recently, top-flight psychics, seers, and mystics have discovered at least one remote planet where these cat gods spawned their own evolution program. There the humanoid cat people are the dominant sentient species of the planet. Something like Thundera of Thundercats fame!
