@futurebird we chose the last one on its merits, but even if we didn't like the merits, we'd be tempted to choose that one just so we could find out what it means for a creature that walks on two legs
@futurebird the structural difference between shoulders and withers is fascinating
-
THAT is a "major" cat super power.
@futurebird Yeah, in real life it's major, but it doesn't get the attention in superhero movies.

@futurebird I can already hear the mice in the walls lmao

No one wants to know about the mice it seems based on the voting.
I went equally for both options selected by the majority.
The floating shoulder blades are actually the famous difference between hare and cat, the detail that let's you solve the cheaters riddle. -

@nev @futurebird The rats are actually kinda loud when the do get in the walls... pesky little things.

@futurebird i live in the city, it's never actually dark
-
@futurebird Being able to sleep at the drop of a hat is the one I *really* want.
I already have that one.
Dew claw? Never get to wear sweaters again.
Whiskers? I already navigate well in the dark.
Floating shoulders? Not sure what that would give in real life. I need convincing.
I picked super hearing. I assume it can be used for more than mice. I think I'd get the most use out of that.

@futurebird I want the tapetum lucidum, for the following reasons:
• as a retroreflective layer of tissue immediately behind the retina, it greatly boosts its possessor's night vision.
• it makes its possessor's eyes glow
• "tapetum lucidum" sounds like an utterance to conjure a spell.
I would (also plz kthx) like the ability to purr.

@dpiponi @futurebird alright here’s my play: floating shoulder blades -> less shoulder tension -> easier time falling asleep
@flying_saucers @dpiponi @futurebird Came here to say exactly this.

@futurebird I mean, the whiskers are not that unusual for someone that often keeps a mustache.

@futurebird I'm pretty sure I already have the mouse one
However if it was "catch mice easily", I would go for it -

@futurebird Can I choose more than one?

@futurebird Identify the junctions between universes and use them to navigate, as bees do, and also to freak out any humans nearby.

@dpiponi @futurebird alright here’s my play: floating shoulder blades -> less shoulder tension -> easier time falling asleep
@flying_saucers @dpiponi @futurebird That was my first thought, and then I realized I'd probably have just as much tension, just more mobility, which seems like a recipe for worse domino-effect pain.
Dee claw was tempting but would definitely injure myself with it more often than not. But since I'm always crashing into things, darkness or no, I went for whiskers. -

I can't believe Team Dew Claw isn't kicking butt here -

I've already got whiskers and flexibility, and I'd just hurt myself with dew claws, so I guess super hearing? -
THAT is a "major" cat super power.

@futurebird Not a selectable option, but a proper tail could be very useful. Improves balance, signals emotions easily, and provide an extra sense for locating things behind you. Might have to remodel some furniture a little tho..
