Chechas Lore and Basic Info
1. Chechas are buglike, catlike animals that are popular luxury pets and are known for their sleek, graceful look, the sweet little noises they make, the large range of colors and markings they can have, and, in the case of the Fairy breed, beautiful wings.
2. There are 4 breeds of Chechas: Common,Devil,Insect,and Fairy. These breeds have been created by careful selection over hundreds of years, giving each breed their unique appearance. (to learn more about the breeds and their traits, check the Breeds section)
3. Chechas enjoy social interaction and playing, whether it be with other Chechas, or their owners, and often form close bonds with their companions. That said, that doesn't mean they like everyone, and a Checha will make it known if they don't like you by outright ignoring your existence, and may even hiss if you come near.
4. Chechas make a variety of noises to express how they feel or what they want. They may make a small "Mew?" sound when they want your attention, or a short "Puroo?" sounding chirp when surprised or excited. They can purr (which sounds like a cat's purr mixed with a cricket's chirping) when they are happy or content, and they can hiss when angry or scared. And then there's what many owners jokingly call the "Checha Song",which is a high pitched, long lasting "Squeee!" sound Chechas make when they want something, such as food.
5. A Chechas are considered to be on par with a Siamese cat in intelligence.
6. A Checha has very fine, soft fur, that many compare to the feel of a very soft velour fabric.
7.A Checha stands about a foot and a half tall.
8. A Checha's diet consists of berries, honey, and nectar. Nectar can be substituted for sugar water if it's not available.
9. There are no physical traits to tell male and female apart, other than you know, checking their, uh, private parts.
10. Chechas mate for life, and can become very depressed if something happens to their mate.
11. Once a pair has mated,the female lays a soft gell like egg, that in a week's time will split open and a newborn Checha larva will crawl out. Newborn Chechas are only 3 inches long, but they grow fast, within 2 weeks time, they will be double the size. Checha larvae are playful and curious, just like kittens, and can get into lots of trouble if you don't watch them! At about 3 months old (at which point, they should be about a foot long in size), you may notice your Checha larva become sluggish, sleepy, and uninterested in playing or eating, which is a sign they are about to go through metamorphosis. When the time comes, they will seek out a quiet, safe place to spin their cocoon. The pupal stage should last a week,after which the new, sleek adult form of your Checha will emerge.
