Feline Moon
The Feline Moon is a mythical celestial body said to orbit the Earth at a distance where the night sky is illuminated by a gentle, silver glow. According to ancient folklore, it is believed to be the celestial counterpart of the domesticated cat, embodying traits such as grace, independence, and mystery.
Legend says that the first sighting of the Feline Moon occurred during the Great Cat Eclipse of 1723, when a silver crescent appeared above the city of Whiskerville. The event was documented by the astronomer Dr. Purrington, who claimed the moon emitted a faint purring sound at night.
Modern mythologists interpret the Feline Moon as a symbol of nocturnal intuition and the hidden depths of the human psyche. Some cultures believe that a full Feline Moon enhances a cat’s hunting instincts and can influence the behavior of both cats and humans.
Physical Characteristics
While the Feline Moon is purely mythical, its described features include:
- Diameter: Approximately 3,500 km, similar to Earth’s moon.
- Surface: Covered in silvery fur-like regolith, giving it a shimmering appearance.
- Orbit: A 27.3-day synodic period, matching the lunar cycle.
Scientific Perspectives
Scientists have debunked the existence of the Feline Moon, citing the lack of observable gravitational effects on Earth. However, the myth persists in popular culture and has inspired numerous works of fiction, including the Cat Chronicles series.
