We tried different shoe styles and in the end decided on a basic silhouette but added the quality of a cuttlefish to it.The shoelace doubles as whiskers. The author wanted the cat to be a caracal, distinct with pointy ears but not easily recognizable either.
I imagine it uses bio luminescent communication and travels in air. 🐱
