Title: Mab? Not entirely a cat?
Post by: LigerJet on October 25, 2006, 05:06:04 PM
Yeah, stupid simple topic.  I just didn't want to hijack another topic. She's listed as a cat...I thought she's a squirrel.  Is it just a fae-kitty tail?

Well if you must know..Shes a long haired persian type of cat...Some of them have floofy tails

Mab is well known for the superfloof. I think in the past the tail was shown with extra thick fuzz, but its recent appearances have been squirrelly.

Post by: Rafe on October 25, 2006, 05:53:07 PM
The tail is floofy, yes, but the shape is all wrong for a cat or even a squirrel - too flat.  What Mab has is a classic Chuck Jones Skunk Tail, a la Pepe Le Pew.  Amber might try to say otherwise, but don't believe her.

Mab is an anthropomorphic Mow, she has a Mow tail.

Lucky, lucky RJ. There is a shortage on squirrels though. But seeing as quite a few characters are based on other people's characters and most of those either being canine or feline... Well, the squirrels haven't had much screen time. There was one other squirrel though... The GRENADE SQUIRREL! Oh man, I just realized that I use grenades too... I don't sound as origional anymore...

There was a comic where a reader asks to see an anthropomorphic/furry Mow and Amber shows a picture of Mab (who waves and says Hi), and then Ambers head explodes or something to that effect.

That was what I was going off of, don't feel much like browsing the entire archive for it though, because it could be anywhere.

Mab is not a Cat, although she has a lot of feline features.

She is a Fay creature, a being of the Faerie, born of magic and possessing inherent magical properties. As such, she has some features different than most felines... the antenna and tail being the two most visible.

But yeah. Mows are de-anthro'd Mabs.

And Fae, like beings and most creatures, are based off something specific. Azlan is a Fae, he's very clearly a fox Fae. As far as I know, Mab is indeed a feline Fae; I can't explain the tail, though.

And Dan's a cubi, but both he and Mab are still feline.

/me devises an easy test for Mab and Catness, and lays out some Mouse-Burgers, Rat-Fries, Catnip-Shakes, and some Catnip-Brownies.

If she goes for them, she's a cat.

if she doesn't, we go from there  :mowwink

Alright, then that makes it not creepy :P

According to the cast page, Mab is, and I quote, a "Fae-Kitty." Don't get much clearer than that. Does it?

Mows are ARTIFICIALLY CREATED CREATURES and therefore not really evolved or descended from anything. any resemblance they bear to their originally intended creature is a fluke. Stupid beanie-cubbies.

Close.  According to #363 they were made from Mab's genetic material in the hair/fur sample which Pede stole, so they are in effect a (very) flawed copy of Mab, hence the similarity.
