Arcus feli are in high demand as pets, from the wealthiest nobles of Synara to the rich, black-market merchants peddling magical creatures in Alveus. Their fur is exquisitely beautiful, with shimmering patterns of color that can only be rivaled by the beauty of an aurora or a shimmering rainbow during a sunny day. Their beauty isn't the only reason for their rarity, however, and they cannot truly be bought. Due to their ability to travel so quickly, an arcus feli who does not wish to be near someone simply won't be - they will be out of sight in a blink. Arcus feli can be won over with food, soft blankets, and an understanding, accepting, and kind demeanor. Owning an arcus feli isn't truly a matter of wealth - it is a sign of a trustworthy, unprejudiced, and caring person.
Arcus feli are impossible to capture unless they wish it - they cannot be held against their will by any means. Many magi thought their power was teleportation for a long time, but flashes of light across one's vision as they moved from one place to another cast doubt. Others, mostly those from Alveus, thought that they were moving so fast that they couldn't be clearly seen, and that became the prevailing theory. Still others think they move between dimensions, between the planes of life and death, and their fur is dyed with flashes of color from their passing through the veil. However they manage it, they can appear at one place and then at another in the blink of an eye, a flash of rainbow color the only sign that they moved. A magi once claimed their arcus feli traveled so fast that it went to the moon and back in 2.6 seconds, bringing a moonrock back with it, but no one believed him.
