i do not have a picture of my pet, she is somewhat camera shy, kind of like a vampire, you simply can not get a picture of her, she just does not show up. She is called a Spryling and they are a very beautiful critter. They don't take to humans very often, and I am not sure why she became attached to me. I call her Raething, don't know why it was just the name that popped in my head when she first landed on my shoulder.
She is about the size of a small 6 pound cat. In fact she kind of looks like a cat, a cross between a cat and an angel. She has wings, they are so bright and iridescent, and very flexible form fitting, they land down as if becoming a part of her body. She has two legs, and unlike a cat two fully functioning hand paws with thumbs. When not flying she walks like a regular person only a very very short person standing only about one foot high.
The other thing about her that is kind of cool is her tail, yes, like a cat she has a tail, but it is more of a fluffy squirrel tail, it is just so dang cute. Her tail holds a big secret too that I just can not tell. Maybe one day i will tell the story of how she chose me, and of some of the adventures we have been on and lived through, she really is a remarkable little creature.
I will be back tomorrow to read and look at and respond to some of the comments and give a few of my measly votes on.
Raething sounds like a magical creature...I wonder if she has magical properties?
As I was reading this comment I was reminded of a creature called a firedrake from a book I read (about 20 times) called Magician by Raymond E Feist. A small dragony thing really, but really intelligent. I always wanted one.
Also, the squirrel tail she has...Dixie used to do this thing with her tail where she'd puff it all up, I guess to look more menacing, when other cats were sniffing around the back door...We'd call it fluffy tail and found it so hilarious because she was the most placid cat ever, certainly non-threatening. We found the tail thing cute!
I would like to have seen a photo of Raething, and if I could draw I would have a go at drawing her, but alas, I'd need more than magic to help me draw something.
Thanks for joining in and having some fun.

Raymond E Feist a good author I enjoyed a few of his books, and likely in the back of my head it is a smallish dragon, cat person, a mix of lots of fantasy critters I have read through my life.
Our cat fluffs her tail out a lot, but we have one squirrel that visits our deck and it has the biggest fluffy tail I have seen on a cat or a squirrel. Drawing is a talent i am sorely lacking in, I have no imaginary vision issues, I can see things clearly in my mind, but putting to paper, nope not a clue.
Stick figures are about all I have...beautiful in their own way...Beautifully horrible. :)
Feist is one of my favourite authors...So descriptive, leaves the reader with a vision, and yet has an economy of words, no floury three page descriptions of what a room looks like...He keeps the storyline moving and captures the reader. He did with me anyway. Great writer.
Fuzzy tail, or fluffy tail is one the funniest things on a cat.
