AT LONG LAST here is a cat!boy Leon mood board for Animal Hospitality. I looked at quite a few cat breeds and during my search I came across the cream point siamese. there is also the red point siamese, but I think the cream point siamese fits Leon quite well in this story. the difference between the cream and the red point siamese cats is the intensity of the blonde/beige/red color to their fur with the cream point being much blonder.
the characteristics that Leon grew after being infected with the Z-virus are:
pointy blonde cat ears that are extremely sensitive to noise
a long blonde tail with some slightly darker blonde rings at the end of his tail. they are very faint, so one would have to be up close to notice them properly.
a small patch of blonde fur from the base of his tail growing up to the bottom of his spine.
pointy upper and lower canine teeth
natural colored claws that grow pointy if they are not rounded/regularly maintained
due to his natural physique at the time of infection, his agility enhanced ten fold. he is quick and perceptive.
the ability to hiss, growl, chirp, trill, and purr.
He also grew into some of the instincts a cat would have. If in an environment where he is safe and healthy, he would be playful, active, curious, and witty. Unfortunately, he has had no chances of nurturing any urges he may have had of playing or exercising due to the limits and restraints during his captivity at Tundra Tech. He is actively stubborn yet submissive, clinging to the one human he bonded with during his rescue. He holds very little trust, yet is curious about other hybrids. Jill is the first hybrid he has had direct contact with, so a deep curiosity has rooted in him about her. Leon is highly distrustful of doctors and scientists, but due to Rebecca's short hairstyle and kind nature, he is not as scared of her. Chris reminds him of his previous "owners", something that was instated during his time during captivity; however, Chris is much different from the others. Leon finds that he trusts Chris explicitly due to his authoritative yet gentle nature. He is scared that one day he may make the man mad or upset, thus resulting in some form of punishment (this will never happen but Leon doesn't know that, yet), but he can't help the way he gravitates to the man.
