So what does Mel want to do? She doesn't know for the longest time, until the answer presents itself in the form of Pawbert, or rather, his hideout.

See, Mel managed to be successful enough to even gain the attention of the Lynxleys, and receive an invite to one of their events, where she met Pawbert. She liked him right away – he didn't seem like the others, and she didn't feel like she had to pretend to be a version of herself that she was not. He didn't need her to be stuck-up and proper, as was expected of her by everyone else, and Mel in turn liked him better as himself too. As they formed a friendship, Pawbert eventually showed her his hideout, where an idea finally formed.

A getaway place, not just for him, but for them all. A place where cats can be cats. And thus came the plans for the Cat Café, a cat-themed hangout spot filled with all the good cat stuff, from scratching posts to cardboard boxes, cat toys to treats. Where cats could go to let loose for a bit, be themselves without having to keep up their proper behavior to be accepted in a multi-animal society. Loaf down, relax, have a cup of catnip tea or climb the pathways of the walls.

It's all just a silly dream though, of course. Mel's parents worked too hard to give her the life they wanted her to have, she couldn't just throw it away. And it's not like Pawbert could ever break away from his family either.

The Cat Café shall live one day. Sure, Pawbert's in jail, but hey – at least he's got a good lawyer. Once he convinces Mel to do it, because bro what the fuck were you thinking? She's got half a mind to leave him in there. But we all want a happy ending, right?

Extra Notes

Mel's family consists of "regular" servals, she's the only melanistic one. She's born special!

While she knows how to act all proper to fit into high society, she's actually a huge dork. She's a silly kitty. Her and Pawbert get along so well.

The main problem is that she can't stand the cold, and Pawbert suffers in the heat. Rip.

The Cat Café does technically allow non-cats to enter, it just isn't set up to accomodate them. They might not have a good time. But they can come in if they want to.

Mel and Pawbert go hide in that tent of his to partake in catnip and you can't convince me otherwise. Tell me that man can't use some nip time. You know he has access to the good stuff too.

Some more doodles of her, I'll have to practice her some more. Her ears get bigger every time I draw her lmao. Also, my scanner murdered the image quality and I can't fix it, rip 😔🙏

Orion is probably going to have a slightly different design every time I draw him until I settle on something because I have no idea what I actually want him to look like. All I know is that I hate the giant over-defined muscle look so much, please won't somebody hydrate the poor guy. Make him big you cowards

Lightray has red pants because I forgot to line his panties, started coloring on autopilot, and by the time I noticed it was too late and I had no choice but to commit. Don't throw rocks at me his other pants are in the wash

The Ayunae are a race of cat-like people that live deep within the Faron forests of Hyrule.

They are known to be reclusive, but generally friendly (or at least neutral) towards outsiders.

Their average height is between that of a Hylian and a Rito.

Their eyes are usually orange, amber, or dark green. Blue eyes have been documented in rare cases.

The most common fur colors are browns and blacks, but other colors pop up occasionally.

loosely based on irl cat genetics!
