==Useful notes==
Cats were sometimes used to ward of the lesser [[Goblin]]s that would appear at the fringes of civilization.<ref>“Once upon a time, when humans weren’t much more than animals, we relied on our dogs to scare off the Others who wanted to prey on us and do mischief.  Cats hunted and fought with the lesser Goblins, returning to owners with torn ears or small injuries.  They still have those instincts.  To destroy things of darkness, foulness and blight, before rot can set in.” - [https://pactwebserial.wordpress.com/2014/02/18 Excerpt] from [[Breach 3.2]]</ref><ref>“The phone-obsessed cat is Verona Hayward,” Shellie said.  “I know your type don’t like cats, but cats do not act that way.  Get over it and get what you’re due.”<br><br>[...]

Cat videos and-”<br><br>[[Tashlit|Tashlit’s]] eyes widened.  She shook her head.<br><br>“No?  What, the cat video thing?”<br><br>Tashlit widened her eyes again.<br><br>“You don’t like cats!?”<br><br>“I met an Other similar to her, once, overseas,” [[John Stiles|John]] said.  “It didn’t like cats either.  The common cat was anathema to the Other.  Inborn.”<br>[...]<br>“I think there was something about that in one of the books I took out of the library,” Avery said.<br><br>“Was it a thing before you, uh…?”<br><br>Tashlit nodded - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/12/01 Excerpt] from [[Gone Ahead 7.1]]</ref> though not the way some humans do.

There are [[Aware]] who are exceptional in [[Feline Friend|handling cats]], though how this works is unknown and perhaps best left unknowable.
