Subtypes

Shorthair Purrcerins are the most common form of Purrcerin. They have fine short hair that grows evenly across their entire body. Sometimes more fur may form around the face, but not enough that it could be mistaken for a Longhaired or Nekomata Purrcerin. Sometimes they may even come "hairless."

• Can have ear tufts
• Tip of the tail strands are cut straight and neat
• Silk-like texture
• Can grow some extra tuft on face or down the spine (mowhawk style)

Longhair Purrcerins don't differ too much from the Shorthair, except for the fact their hair is much longer and much more dense. Their fur can grow from slightly longer than normal to floor length, allowing it to potentially vary even in fur texture and style.

• Hair can grow up to floor length
• A fine line of fur protects the inside of the ears
• Tip of the tail strands are a bit longer and a tad unruly
• Need a lot of maintenance

Maned body types can be a tad bulkier than the other two forms, but their most prominent feature is the hair that grows around their neck and head - much like that of a lion's. It is the only part of the body that grows an extensive amount of fur. The mane can travel a bit down the spine, but not by much. It varies from smooth and silky to wild and curly. They are a rare occurance.

• The mane MUST be a different color from the body, even if by a few shades lighter or darker.
• Tip of the tail strands match the texture of their mane
• Body fur must remain short
• Can have bigger than normal front and back paws

NOTE: While Maned Purrcerins can resemble lions in shape, they are still predominantly considered 'large housecat' in size.

Nekomata Purrcerins are the rarest, with very few in existence compared to the other three. They have an abundance of spiritual energy, and it takes form in the shape of wisps that float around the body at all times. To have a Nekomata watch over you is a sign of very good fortune! The age, or amount of time a Nekomata has been around, can be measured by how many wisps they have around them. They start with 2, but the max can reach up to 10 after at least 1000 years.

• MUST have tufts on cheeks, ankles, and on the inside of the ears with a swirl like pattern.
• Cannot have less than TWO wisps, but no more than TEN total
• Always has two tails, the tip ending in a swirl
• Hair is short and silky, but can develope a mowhawk like trail down the back of their spine.
