   In my later fanfics (if they ever get written) I plan to introduce
another species (I'd say race but they're incapable of reproducing with
kats) called the dawgs, which also evolved with the kats, only in much
smaller numbers and mainly in Western Europe: Britain, Ireland, and Scotland.
   Throughout the centuries they've been percecuted by the kats--not without
occasional good reason. They're heavy drinkers, typically unresponsible
loafers (but certainly not all of them) with an unclear sense of mortality.
Now, in most countries they're accepted but not welcomed, but with their few
and dwindling numbers you'd rarely see one in somewhere like Megakat City,
which is in North America.
   A dawg is much smaller in proportion to a kat, more like the Pastmaster's
size and under. Kats, I've judged from proportions on the show, are not our
height--the average male kat is about 5 foot. Chance might be 5'2", while
Jake could be 5' or 4'11". Commander Feral is about 6' and Dark Kat is maybe
6'5" or posssibly 7'--he is a *big* guy. A dawg is about anywhere from 3-4',
what we would refer to as "midget."
   You want a picture of a good dawg? Take Underdog, from the TV series in
the 70s. He's about that high and looks about the same. Breeds vary, but not
in the varieties of our world.
   Angus MacLeod is a dawg who might bring up in future stories if I choose
to write them.
