Cat's Chimerical Creations Lore: Dancing Feet
This is Dancing Feet, the Catbird:
He's the youngest of the Bedtime Crew, being born on June 3rd 2024
He was directly inspired by Jerry the Accountant made by @leporellian - he was scooped up and adopted long before I made my move, but he lived in my heart for months afterwards so once I picked up a Scat beanie at the charity shop, I knew at least half of what he would become!
As far as we can tell, Dancing Feet doesn't vocalise - whether that's because he doesn't talk at all, or because he's so young he hasn't learned yet is unclear.
What he does do, as the name might suggest, is dance.
He'll dance to say good morning, he'll dance to say goodnight.
He'll dance on his brother's heads, or on their flanks, and sometimes, to their annoyance, on their faces.
He danced on Nublet's Christmas hat once, and when Nublet airbended him into the air, he danced on the sky instead.
He'll dance on the sofa, on the walls, on the pillows and blankets.
Sometimes he'll dance so long that he falls asleep midstep, and snooze right through the rest of us looking for him and calling his name.
We might find him tucked under the mattress or between the cushions, dead to the world, sleeping peacefully.
His letter to Santa last year was just inky pawprints followed by his name. Santa seemed to know what he'd written, though. I guess it's a Santa thing.
A villain once tried to curse Dancing Feet with that dancing-until-you-die disease. Dancing Feet didn't even realise it was a curse, simply dancing his usual dances until the disease burned itself out.
If you would like to support Dancing Feet and help him find new surfaces and new brothers to dance on, you can do that here
