	[[H.P. Lovecraft]] really loved '''cats'''. In his words, they appeal "to the deepest founts of imagination and cosmic perception in the human mind." He even wrote his own cat ([[meme\|who shall remain unnamed]]) into stories. So it should come as no surprise that in his setting of the [[Dreamlands]], cats are a deeply magical and mysterious race that possess human-like intelligence (although distinctly alien thought processes). They have their own language, government and military. Among other abilities, cats in the Dreamlands can [[wat\|literally jump from Earth to the moon and back]] like it's nothing. In essence, they have the reverse relationship to the Dreamlands as humans, with their dream-world lives being their "real" lives, and their earthly lives being their "dreams".		[[H.P.

So it should come as no surprise that in his setting of the [[Dreamlands]], cats are a deeply magical and mysterious race that possess human-like intelligence (although distinctly alien thought processes).

	It is also established that alien cats live on other worlds in Earth's (or Dreamland-Earth's) solar system.		It is also established that alien cats live on other worlds in Earth's (or Dreamland-Earth's) solar system.

	~~Only four specific species of Dreamlands Cat have been confirmed to exist in the Mythos~~, ~~at least thus far~~. 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)		Though Lovecraft only ever mentioned cats from Earth and Saturn, Chaosium has since added cats from Mars and Uranus too.

	'''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.
