D6This cat of Ulthar is
1grey and spotted, with a peculiarly-flat head.
2heterochromatic, and the colour of its fur is split evenly between black and white down the length of its body.
3extraordinarily, inconveniently fluffy, the long tuffets of its fur wafting and twisting without a breeze.
4hairless, with wize & deep-drooping wrinkles, and moles and liver-spots marking constellations across its skin.
5tawny and tufted beneath its nose, and at the ends of its ears and tail.
6a sweet orange-candy colour, with stripes that ripple down it like the white ends of waves up a beach.
D6This cat of Ulthar is
1a babbling sacred fool, getting into accidents and incidents as many times as it miraculously survives them.
2imperious, insecure, vain and easily spooked.
3sadistically whimsical, a dreamer of dark dreams.
4glum when at peace, fierce and funny at war.
5a trash-talking rough with a heart of, if not gold, then at least silver.
6a syrupy charmer, a gossiper, a clingy socialite.
D6This cat of Ulthar is
1able to grow its shadow larger than light sources should allow, and claw and gnaw things with it as though it were a great black panther.
2able to eat ghosts and the souls of astrally-projecting sorcerers, slurping them up like a bunch of noodles.
3able to slip between the waking and dreaming worlds as easily as breathing.
4blessed with more lives than nine, and is happy to lend them out - with interest.
5possessed of a third eye in its stomach, which it can vomit up like a hairball. This eye can fly about, become intangible & invisible, and see the hidden currents of things.
6possessed of a retractable claw on the end of its tail which is envenomated with a substance which both numbs the wound to unnoticeability & induces extreme suggestibility.
D6This cat of Ulthar is
1a newcomer to town, who's already stepped on the wrong tails and made some enemies.
2a respectable burgher, with an uncommon ability to cover up & silence what might make it less-respectable.
3practically royalty in Ulthar, descended from a line that's been in town since its founding - though this means little among cats since all cats are aristocrats.
4a retired guerilla-defender of Ulthar's outskirts, using the connections and honours built up over its career to found a trafficking network.
5an itinerant inhabitant, going away a long while then returning with strange tales & trinkets.
6a joke around town, seen as very un-cat-like in behaviour.
D6This cat of Ulthar is
1very fond of anchovies - the saltier the better - they make a fine bribe for it.
2a social media addict, and has over a million followers on Earth under an assumed name.
3on the verge of insanity after discovering that one of its ancestors was a hound of Tindalos.
4an old lady who was blessed with reincarnation as a cat of Ulthar for her kindness to Earth-cats in life - it retains all memories of its human life.
5an architect of leisure, a shaper of sun-beams.
6a friend to the ghouls - they leave each other carcass-gifts.
D6This cat of Ulthar is
1putting together a team to retrieve a lost treasure of the goddess Bast.
2seeking to have a former lover embarrassed politically.
3raising a new & more potent hybrid of silvervine - a hybrid which has proved unfortunately predatory.
4afflicted with mormolice, and desperate for a cure.
5leading an experiment to induce Ultharian awareness in Earth-cats.
6organizing a play which will mystically invite Nyarlathotep to town in a feline incarnation.
