Cloud giants magically bred fluttercats to be pets and to keep down bird populations. While this worked out splendidly for the cloud giants, prides of feral fluttercats, with no fear of humanoids, have learned that cows and sheep are tasty meals. Cloud giant communities have yet to acknowledge any responsibility in this matter, and fluttercats are a terrible problem in ranching and herding communities wherever fluttercat prides claim territory.
