'''Chakats''' are dwelling, fantasy, six-limbed [[Felidae (mammal)|felids]]. Some of the most feline-like [[Centaur|centauroid]] [[species]] described as "Everybody's favorite over-perfected cat",{{cn}} created by [[furry artist]] and [[writer]] Bernard Doove, who was inspired by some ideas brought forward by other people for their own [[character]]s, most notably [[artist]]s [[Mike Higgs]]' [[Kendarii]], [[Roy Pounds]]' [[Garetta]], [[Mary Lynn Skirvin]]'s [[snow cat]]s and other similar [[OC|original character]]s.<br />
<br />
==Overview==<br />
<br />
Chakats are extremely social [[creature]]s, needing both physical and emotional contact regularly. Due to their empathic nature, this is frequently more intimate than most. It also means that they try to be friendly with everyone, but when crossed, can be dangerous enemies. The Chakamils, short for 'Chakat, Military Specification' are a type of chakat illegally created by the Federation Science Corps in anticipation of an invasion of New Mordor, the Sauron prison colony planet.<br />
<br />
In the [[Chakona Space]] universe, chakats were [[genetic engineering|designed]] as first-landing colonizers and ideal organisms of high intellect and great physical capacity; in space, their extra limbs allow them extra maneuverability, and when their colony ships land, they can act as their own heavy equipment. In addition, being hermaphroditic allows their population to expand quicker than a normal colony.<br />
<br />
==Physiology==<br />
<br />
Chakats have the lower body of any of the big and small [[cat]]s, a [[humanoid]] torso, and anthro-feline faces. They have long prehensile [[tail]]s, are all functional [[hermaphrodite]]s, and all have [[feminine]] [[breasts]]. All four [[paw]]s of their Taur half have retractable [[claw]]s and the front paws have elongated toes with the [[dewclaw]] modified into a semi-thumb. This does not interfere with walking or running, but it does enable them to grasp objects. Adult heights range from about 5' to 5' 8" (1.5 to 1.7 meters), while their weight is between 350 to 440 lbs (160 to 200 kilograms). Life span is around 150 years.<ref>[http://www.chakatsden.com/chakat/Intro.html ''An Introduction To Chakats''] on the [http://www.chakatsden.com/ Chakat Den]. Retrieved ?.</ref> Their fur colors can also vary.<br />
<br />
Though Chakats were designed to be "ideal organisms", Chakats have four major disadvantages. First, they are large, which means they are unwieldy in cramped areas. Second, they have increased life support requirements, including air, food, and water. Third, they are very sensitive to high temperatures making their inhabitable range more limited. Finally, they can suffer from mild [[W:Atavism|atavism]].<br />
<br />
==Family life==<br />
<br />
Chakats enjoy a very open and active [[polyamorous]] lifestyle, with each member of the family supporting each other in the upkeep of the family as a whole, whether it is by providing or helping to raise the cubs.<br />
<br />
Chakats have a complex [[mate|mating]] system, including (in ascending order):<br />
* ''Companions'' - somewhere between best friend and lover<br />
* ''Denmates'' - those ones formally brings into the family<br />
* ''Lifemates'' - those one wants to live with, grow old with, and die with<br />
<br />
Additionally, a ''[[mate]]ship of the heart'' denotes an unconsummated mateship, based on emotions entirely without any physical drive behind them.<br />
<br />
==Other==<br />
<br />
* "[[Tail High!]]" is a chakat version of "goodbye"; it means "Be happy!". This phrase was borrowed from the [[Lensman universe]] of [[Edward E. Smith]], Ph.D. (E. E. "Doc" Smith). It is a war cry of a felinoid race known as '''Vegians''', who are found in the book titled ''[[The Vortex Blaster]]'', later ''[[Masters of the Vortex]]''.{{fact}}<br />
* Chakats are main characters in the comic ''[[Apollo 9]]''. In this variant universe, chakats naturally evolved in Australia, Earth.<br />
