==Biology==
Cat lords are somewhat tall creatures, taller than ponies by a significant margin, though shorter than [[Lizardfolk]] and [[Parrots]]. Being anthropomorphic creatures, Cat lords tend to walk on their hind legs, but are capable of running on all fours at fast speeds.<ref name = PRE1>{{Cite comic book|series=PRE|issue=1|story=''Storm King''|page=|panel=|quote=}}</ref> Cat lords seem very adaptive, as many have lived the peaceful monarchy of Abyssinia and the dangerous city of Klugetown and made a living in both. Cat lords seem to especially adapt to the roguish lifestyle of petty theft and smuggling that Klugetown expects.<ref name = SOURCE/><ref name = PRE1/><ref name = PRE3>{{C|PRE|3}}</ref> Cat lords with Anugyptian ancestry, after the rediscovery of the [[Tree of Purpose]], gained features resembling their distant ancestors, including tails that split into three before the tips and taller, pointier ears.
==Behavior==
Line 21:
The cat lords were among the races to have a [[Tree of Harmony]] planted or discovered in their land by the ancient [[Knights of Harmony]]. Unfortunately, the influence of {{FIM|Discord}} turned them against their benefactors, and along with the [[Diamond Dog]]s and [[Farasi]]ans they made war on the island of [[Cunabula]]. This alliance was defeated, and the Knights of Harmony buried the cat lords' [[Tree of Purpose]], with Panthera later either expanding or being founded so that it was built over the Tree's temple.
===
During the [[Era of Twilight]], the [[Storm King]] attacked Abyssinia at least twice. The first time, they conquered the land entirely and the second, they destroyed it. Many Cat lords were capable of fleeing the disaster however, with many fleeing to [[Klugetown]] and later opened shops and inns. Even prior to his regime, many Cat lords adopted a naturally roguish lifestyle, such as [[Whiskers]] who became a [[sky pirate]] at some point before the sacking of Panthera.<ref name = SOURCE/> Using their inherently roguish nature, "[[Charlie]]" formed the [[Westtails]], a smuggling ring comprised entirely of Cats.<ref name = SOURCE/>
After the Storm King's downfall, Cat lords were still wary and scared, but less so. Many cats traveled or even moved to Equestria while some stayed in Klugetown. [[Capper]], a Cat lord instrumental in the fall of the Storm King, became somewhat of a hero among Cats afterwards, and
Unfortunately, [[King Meowmeow]], who ruled over Panthera, had an extreme negative reaction to the Storm King's assaults on his city. He transformed Panthera into a dictatorship with many restrictions based on distrust of outsiders and magic. Even residents of the city did not escape this tyranny, and many were taken into custody. [[Chummer]], a childhood friend of Capper's who had left Panthera at the same time and returned sometime later, responded by forming the [[Abyssinian Underground]], a force that resisted Meowmeow's rule. An [[Abyssinian ambassadors|embassy]] from Abyssinia was also welcomed to the Equestrian capital of [[Canterlot]].
▲After the Storm King's downfall, Cat lords were still wary and scared, but less so. Many cats traveled or even moved to Equestria while some stayed in Klugetown. Capper, a Cat lord instrumental in the fall of the Storm King, became somewhat of a hero among Cats afterwards, and has became known as possibly the only kind soul in Klugetown.<ref name = SOURCE/>
Capper eventually returned to Panthera as part of an [[Team Fluttershy|embassy]] from [[Queen of Equestria]] {{FIM|Twilight Sparkle}}; the entire group was apprehended soon after arriving in the city. Upon realizing that he had Panthera's most infamous lockpick in his custody, Meowmeow allowed word of Capper's return to be spread. The underground, which consisted of several other friends of Capper and Chummer's, promptly broke him and his Equestrian allies out of prison and brought them into their subterranean lair. Lacking any other means of truly fighting back against the king, the underground hoped that Capper could help them get into a mysterious temple beneath the city.
Unbeknownst to the underground, this scheme played into Meowmeow's own plans, as he too had discovered the temple but been unable to get inside. With Capper opening the way for him, he eagerly prepared to destroy what he discovered inside: the long-forgotten Tree of Purpose. However, Capper's Equestrian friends were able to subdue Meowmeow and the [[Royal Guards of Abyssinia]], and he and the underground proved to be the embodiments of the [[Elements of Purpose]]. The temple rose up from beneath the city, and magic spread across Panther and possibly beyond. In the process, several Abyssinians gained magical abilities and altered appearances that seemed to hint at Anugyptian cat ancestry.
Meowmeow's despotic rule was overthrown, and the Abyssinian Underground were greeted as heroes by the liberated populace. They later traveled to Equestria to help defend it from the resurgent Knights of Harmony. Afterwards, Queen Twilight extended an invitation to Abyssinia to strengthen its ties to Equestria as part of a growing alliance of nations.
