Perhaps these toms adapted to avoid predation, from overly amorous females or oppressive humans who want an "inside cat".
I never considered that tressym migrated from Kara-Tur! Perhaps they're fey....  |

Unfortunately the are real Tressym, who are the v ctims of the booming popularity of Cat Wing Soup. |

Wait a minute... The article says it is a tomcat, but that's clearly a calico kitty. I feel my leg getting pulled.
If that tugging sensation is just me not being able to sit still for more than two minutes, then some one really won the lottery on that cat :P |

I tried to stay away from the cat-in-the-kettle stereotype, but, hey! My thoughts *exactly*, RW! |

Apparently calico/tortie requires an XX chromosome, making almost all female. There are rare incidents of XXY calicos which are male, but I doubt they're virile toms. Perhaps an XXY calico tom explains why he's avoiding the affection of his female admirers.  |

| One of the the funnest sessions I ever played was PCing as a tressym familiar of a friend of mine....now I can get her one as a present! |
My latest Realms-based short story, about a bard, a paladin of Lathander and the letter of the law, Debts Repaid. It takes place before the "shattering" and gives the bard Arion a last gasp before he plunges into the present.http://candlekeep.com/campaign/logs/log-debts.htm |

Tomcat just means that it is a Male Cat, so it could be a calico tomcat |

| The two traits, tricolor and a Y chomosome, don't occur in the same cat very often :P Add little wing thingies and that's a very one of a kind kitty. |

Me too...I don't quite believe this story. |
"Instead of asking why we sleep, it might make sense to ask why we wake. Perchance we live to dream. From that perspective, the sea of troubles we navigate in the workaday world might be the price we pay for admission to another night in the world of dreams."

Fellow scribes, I'm afraid I'll have to close this scroll unless some sliver of Realms discussion can nudge it's way in here somewhere.
Let's keep it Realms-related, please.  |

OK, I think that a wave of blue fire washed over a Tressym colony and transported this special kitty into our reality.
This is the first positive side effect of the blue fire I have seen! |
