Ball of tricolour yarn

[MSolara]

Name: Ball of tricolour yarn.

Description: This black, white and brown ball is made out of the hair of multiple creatures, and its weird texture will not be useful for knitting a sweater... or anything nice, really. It reacts when one of your creatures approaches it, though.

Function:When touched by a Winged Cat, it turns his or her fur into calico.

My original idea was making the ball of yarn having a 100% success rate when applied to a female, but only a 10% when used on a male, thus making the boys more difficult to obtain. Calico cats are largely females (there's an estimated ratio of roughly 1 male per 3000 females), but I understand if that's a problem, and should be kept as a 100% for both genders. We already have male calico tienkos, after all!

Will edit in a moment with more info.

Nothing too fancy, really... we are just lacking the most amazing cat colour for our winged buddies . A sprite recolour, maybe?

I will scream in the purest GLEE if this happens, my cats will all become Calicos and oh my gawd it will be glorious. I'm already squeeeeeeeeeeing just thinking about it....

We already have swirled cats. Great idea, though. I like the female-male ratio, but what if there was only a 90% chance for the females, just to balance it out?

Mine will probably become calis as well I love that pattern. Glad you liked the idea!

Swirled resemble tabbies (tabby's?), though, not calicos. There are many kitty colours to exploit

As for the ratio... if it was up to me, I'd leave the 100% to 10% one. Female calicos are common, so I don't see why there should be a 'limitation' to them. If this ever makes it to the site (which I doubt after seeing some awesome entries), I think it should be up to the staff to decide that. I see some problems in limiting the males... some people will surely not be happy with that, plus it would be really easy to get a female calico and then swap her gender.

Unless you can somehow set the females so it's not possible to use the gender change potion on them... but I don't really know if that can be done, or if it's simple code-wise

Oh! I love this! I was just thinking about winged cat recolors. I hope this gets picked!
