Cat's Chimerical Creations Lore: Mister Poison Paws
This is Mister Poison Paws the Robin / Scorpion Centaur:
Although he does indeed have poison inside his paws, his name is something of a misnomer, as anyone poisoned to death with his paws can also be resurrected with a second stab.
He enjoys combing his bird parts in order to remain nice and smooth. He also enjoys bullying his daddy by pretending he's about to poison-stab him, but then actually smoothing his head feathers down.
He likes to hide, and is very afraid of the concept of having fans. (I suspect he just doesn't want Minty to start following him around in search of "fame"). He likes to keep everything a secret, to the point where his catchphrase is "ssshhh!" accompanied by a claw lifted to his beak, and his 2024 letter to Santa was completely obscured with a "top secret!" sticker.
(Santa seemed to understand what it said though. Similar to the situation with Dancing Feet, this is presumably a Santa thing)
He enjoys true crime, spooky stories, and warm weather. Although he's mostly content to go with the flow, he can occasionally react badly to disappointment. When he realised that the three week break where both his parents were home was coming to an end, he got so stressed out at the concept that he repeatedly tried to poison his own head.
Luckily he's immune to his own poison, and these days my partner and I trade off taking him to work with us every now and then, which seems to have helped.

(also, fun fact, my laptop battery died while I was writing this and shut off completely. coincidence, or a jab to the power button from a poisoned paw accompanied by a fierce "shhh!"?)
