Damien frowns at him for a long moment, trying to decide how to explain cats without using the word in the definition. Too bad there's no internet here -- he'd just look up a cat meme. Too bad his phone doesn't have power, at the moment, out here, away from the rest of the known world and the power-bringing storms.

Finally, he decides on, "You've seen the critters some of the girls are keeping as pets, yes? Maybe small -- maybe seven pounds? -- with big ears and wings?" A beat. "I think there's a nest or two of them near Heavenly Blanc still, too."

He shrugs, before getting back on track. "The ears look like they belong on what we'd call a rabbit. The wings, a bird. The size and the fur and the retractable claws, though? That part's cat."
