The Mating Tree or The Cat Tree

The cats call it the Mating tree, the humans call it the Cat tree.. but what do humans know anyway?

This tree is indigenous to the South.  In particular it grows in warm humid areas, and especially thrives around the South Eastern fens.  This tree is quite easily recognizable by both sight and smell.

The bark is soft and fibrous, in shades of white, silvery grey, and black.  It has small elongated leaves growing on long dangling vines.  The leaves come in various colors.  Browns, creams, blacks, and even rust reds. 

In shape and form these tree's resemble Earth's tree, the Weeping Willow.  The long vines hang down to the ground, creating a covered space underneath.  The vines are many, and hang so thickly together as to provide a nice screen blocking the view to the outside world once you are underneath.  The colorful leaves are soft, with hairlike (or fur-like!) fibers poking off of them.  Roots boil up out of the ground around the base of the tree, almost as if they can't stand to be covered.  The sap of this tree is a milky white in color, slightly thicker in consistency then water, and has a distinct fish smell to it.  From a distance, the colors of the leaves blend together, creating the illusion of a giant Calico/Tortoiseshell cat hide.

Whereas the Earth Weeping Willow is much loved by humans for a nice place to relax and hide with a book, or perhaps to take a date on a picnic, the humans tend to stay away from the Cat Tree.  The smell of fish alone would kill any romantic notions most humans would have, but if that weren't enough, they would also have to deal with all the felines.  Because the felines love this tree!  They call it the Mating tree for a reason.  The sap from the tree, acts on mature felines who ingest it, giving them the urge to mate.  Oh they can mate without it, but once the sap is ingested, a successful mating with healthy young is practically guaranteed.

Young felines also find themselves attracted to the tree and it's delicious sap.  it does after all smell and taste of fish!  What feline could resist that??  But the sap acts differently on un-matured felines.  While it makes mature felines feel amorous, it simply makes the young extremely sleepy.  More then a few Queens have led their young to drink of the sap, when they simply needed a bit of quiet time to rest from toll the energetic youngsters can take on a poor mother.

This little plant is known as Blood Ivy, though it certainly is not a harmful plant. Well, beyond uncontrolled ivy damage to walls. If well managed, blood ivy makes an interesting addition to outside decor.

Young leaves tend to be a more bright red in colour. Over time they darken to an almost black colour. Blood ivy grows incredibly slowly so houses and other buildings that have a lot of blood ivy growth on them tend to be older as well.

The slightly alarming name comes from the obvious difference in colour to most species of ivy that has some similarity with the colour of blood. There's also an urban legend surrounding  blood ivy: there was once a Tavern Cat that helped lead an inebriated woman back home. though they ran into trouble along the way. The cat gave its life in order to protect the woman, dying at the base of a regular patch of ivy. The next day the entire plant had turned a blood red and stood as a stark reminder of a lost life.

This is, of course, merely rumour and superstition. There's no proof behind this story.
