==Subspecies== Though Lovecraft only ever mentioned cats from Earth and Saturn, Chaosium has since added cats from Mars and Uranus too. Though they respect the Dreamlands too much to openly war there, the different races generally don't like each other (or, at the very least, Terran and Martian cats dislike Saturnian and Uranian cats) '''Terran Cats (Cats from Earth)''' are basically cats as we know them. '''Martian Cats (Cats from Mars)''' are friendly and closely allied to Terran Cats. They resemble Terran Cats, but hairless and with brightly (and weirdly) colorful bodies (purple, violet, fluorescent orange, etc) as well as elongated legs and tails. '''Saturnian Cats (Cats from Saturn)''' are marked by their beautiful, brilliantly colorful forms, which are adorned in jewel-like nodules or scales as well as swirling fin-tendrils, giving the appearance of the cat being formed of molded arabesques and filigree. Their heads are virtually abstract, being marked mainly by their large, ever-staring eyes, and they have the ability to extrude and retract legs as they see fit, as well as using a prehensile tail like an arm. Roughly the size of a puma, Saturnian Cats are notably malevolent, and are aligned with the darker denizens of the Dreamlands moon, such as the Moon-beasts. '''Uranian Cats (Cats from Uranus)''' are larger even than Saturnian Cats, and appear as more a cat-shape woven from blue-black-green scaly tentacles, with its head adorned by six spikes and retractile sensory tentacles that give it a star-shaped outline. They are hostile towards Terran Cats, but rarely seen, which is a good thing considering their incredible sensory abilities, mighty claws, and the durability of their otherworldly hides. Unlike the Terran, Martian and Saturnian Cat strains, they are seemingly an invention of [[Chaosium]] for [[Call of Cthulhu]], having first been mention in S. Petersen's Field Guide to Creatures of the Dreamlands - ironically, whereas that book depicts a Cat from Saturn, the updated rerelease/compilation "S. Petersen's Field Guide to Lovecraftian Horrors" depicts a Cat from Uranus under the title "Cat from Saturn".
