Well.. Divine is also making a character with a cat. Technically that character isn't accepted yet. But seeing as she'll likely finish this character soon and the character is likely to be accepted, I think it would be corteous that I reserve it for her. 

So, sorry for the unclarity. But cat is not free. 

If within a few days, Divine has not finished her character yet, I'll open it up again.

[edit]
And ofcourse we have many other fantastic creatures to choose from!
