Sweetens are a pixel closed species by Tendo64 ( Tendo63). They are hosted on Chicken Smoothie, and obtained primarily through free adoption if you're interested.
Read here for rules on trading if that's why you're here.
(Disclaimer: all Sweetens are characterized primarily by lineart rather than features, while you cannot make your own Sweeten with the explicit intention of it being an official Sweeten, you're more than welcome to make winged cats no matter how similar and I don't claim to own the idea. Just please don't use our lineart without permission)
Sweetens (a portmanteau of "sweet", "kitten", and "sweeten", scientific name: Felis Sophius) are the result of an evolutionary branch to the domestic cat in an alternative dimension--they're like cats, but a bit smaller (around the size of a rabbit), they're known to have much more variety in colors, markings, and features, and they also evolved to have wings on their backs and feet! This allows them to glide, but only for a few minutes at a time. (Unless your Sweeten is a specific breed of the Sweeten known as a Flyer Sweeten, in which they can fully fly, and are extremely rare!)
Sweetens can be found living primarily in hollow trees (though caves and even burrows are not unheard of), where they construct their dens from soft material, usually feathers (sometimes moss is added as well) they found on the ground. They also take a liking to decorating their nests with shiny things they find from the humans--so hang on tightly to your gold bracelets and pearl necklaces!
Notably, Sweetens like to bounce when they are happy; unlike the domestic cat, they also seem to enjoy music and can be heard humming tunes in the form of trills and chirps. They get their name because, despite being related to cats, they have an outgoing personality more akin to dogs--that is, one that's very playful and, well, sweet! A Sweeten is loyal to the very end, will risk their life to protect their owner in the face of danger, and is a very affectionate creature that loves cuddles, being pet, and playing.
Will a Sweeten manage to capture your heart?
