Werecat

History
Ailuranthropy comes from the Greek words "ailouros" meaning "cat", and "anthropos", meaning "human" and refers to human/feline transformations, or to other beings that combine feline and human characteristics. Its root word is also used in ailurophobia, the most common term for a phobia of cats.

A few depict werecats who transform into domestic cats, but this is not always the case. the species involved can be a domestic cat, a tiger,a lion, a leopard, a lynx, or any other type, including some that are purely mythical felines.

Some may also call these "catgirls or catboys." A character with cat traits, such as cat ears, a cat tail, or other feline characteristics on an otherwise human body. They are more commonly referred to as neko (猫, literally cat) or nekomimi (猫耳, literally cat ear(s).

Abilities
Werecats have strong, flexible bodies, quick reflexes, sharp retractable claws, and teeth adapted to killing their prey. Cat senses fit a crepuscular and predatory ecological niche. They can hear sounds too faint or too high in frequency for human ears, such as those made by mice and other small animals. They can see in near darkness. Cats have poorer color vision and a better sense of smell than humans, but since werecats are a mixture of the two, they see colors the same as normal human's do.

Weaknesses
Werecats suffer from a wide range of health problems, including infectious diseases, parasites, injuries, and chronic disease. They can get ill from human and cat health problems, so they need to watch out.

A majority of werecats dislike water, this is them disliking getting the fur areas on them wet. Some may be okay with water however.

Werecats need to sharpen their claws constantly to keep them dangerous if they are prone to fighting and climbing.

Physiology
Werecats are able to tolerate quite high temperatures: Humans generally start to feel uncomfortable when their skin temperature passes about 38 °C (100 °F), but werecats show no discomfort until their skin reaches around 52 °C (126 °F),[49]:46 and can tolerate temperatures of up to 56 °C (133 °F) if they have access to water, just like regular cats.
