Zelki are like the House cats of Pern. They resemble cats fully, except the fact that their tails are split at the end and their ears are much larger, and they have a small gem in their forehead. They impress similiar to Flitts, where they will go with whoever feeds them, but there is one other thing you have to do. You must also give them a ring with a precious, semi-precious, or just a pretty stone, and put it somewhere, such as tail, legs, larger ones can be used as collars. Simple enough? Another similarity they have to flitts is the fact that they can speak to certain people with their minds. People who can hear them are called Zelki Listeners, or ZL.
Those who can speak to them are Zelki Speakers, ZS. Female Zelki, upon going into heat, go to the Zelki Birthing Grounds. There is where they wait until any males come. The Males must do something to show the female he is worthy of being her mate, and many fights tend to break out. When it is time to birth, the female returns to the Birthing Grounds, and gives brith to young that are ready to impress.
Zelki reach sexual maturity 6-8 weeks after they are born. In other words, about a month an a half to two months after they are born, Zelki can have more kittens. Zelki usually have two litters per turn, but some colors have more litters than that. If they have more than two per turn, it will be stated in the description.

Lavender(QUEEN)- Lavender Zelki are the largest of them all. They are wise, leader-like, and very curious. They also have a dark side. Make them angry and you'll have an enemy for life. Their coats are a rich lavender color, randing from a pale, pastel hue to royal violet. Their gems are any color, usually dark, but there are a few with lightly colored gems. They have litters of 10-20, sometimes ranging to 25, and sometimes even 30!
Silver(QUEEN)- Silvers are quite curious when first born, though as they grow older they become quite intelligent and leader-like. Some are shyer than others. Their coats are a grayish color, but their paws are white. Their gem ranges from baby blue to deep dark purple. They have litters of 5-15.
Black(King)- Blacks are pitch black. Their gems are any color, as long as it is dark. They are mischievous and sly, though most in a good way. They're curious at birth and keep their curiosity all through life. They're always outgoing and love to be the center of attention. Males normally mate with Lavenders and Silvers.
Gold(King)- Golds have a golden-like pelt, normally with speckles of some of the other colors on it. They have gems ranging from light yellow to bright red, with the occaionsional silver. They've been known for their daring-ness and determination. Males normally mate with silvers, Whites, and browns.
White- These Zelkies are pure white, though some might have black on their ears and paws. Their gems are light pastel colors. They are shy, but intelligent and responsible. They're one of the rarest colors of the Zelkies. Males normally mate with browns, calicos, oranges, and occasionaly a Mint, but they usually think the Mints are too low of a rank to be mated with. Females have litters of 5-10.
Brown- Browns have varying colors of coats; most are either a light brown, medium brown, dark brown, or a red-brown. Their gems are blues and reds. They are quite aggressive when they become older, though when they're younger they're as cute as can be! ^.^ Males normally mate with browns, blacks, and whites. Females have litters of 3-7.
Calico- These Zelkies are very, very shy and very, very, very untrusting of humans until you've shown them love and care. They are quite small and are normally squashed by their larger siblings when they're younger. Their hides are white, with a light brown/tan color and black-brown patches. Their gems are any color. Males normally only mate with female calicos, but will occasionally mate an orange or mint. Females have litters of 3-7.
Orange- Oranges are one of the most common Zelki. They're orange in color, rarely straying to a red-orange or yellow-orange. Their gems are always white. They are outgoing and funny, not to mention somewhat clumsy. They tend to make people laugh even when they don't mean to. Males normally mate with Calicos and Oranges, sometimes a Mint. Females have litters of 2-7.
Mint- Mints are the smallest of the Zelki. They, like the calico Zelki and white dragons, are very small, and have trouble even living through their first day of life. When they do live, they are the most trusting of all the Zelki. They are like canines, they will protect you from harm and will risk their life for you. They tend to hold grudges against someone who has done harm to them or their chosen. Their pelts are usually a light Mint color. They can have darker and lighter pelts, but they don't get anywhere as dark as forest green, and rarely get lighter than a light mint color. Their gems are any bright color. Males mate only with female Mints, females have tiny litters of 1-5, and their litters never have Lavenders or Silvers, because just the size of a baby Queen is too big for them to give birth to.
