Nagalines
Many years ago now, Nagalines were bred to stop an aggressive, invasive species. This species couldn't be eaten by natural inhabitants, and there weren't many alternate options. Nagalines were the perfect combination of big cat and reptile, creating a fuzzy little cat noodle... A cat noodle that is good at eating invasive rodent species. They have now become very friendly and loving towards humans, and have become domesticated pets over time. People now breed them in their homes, and some are very expensive. There are wild Nagalines, and some are on the streets. They are a common pet, kept in or outdoors and prevent invasive species from overpopulating. They're super intelligent and people love them!
