Sydney is a Munchkin Cat x Undetermined Canine (Mutt) hybrid.

They wouldn’t know very much about their parents; they were a ward of the state and spent most of their young life with less-than-stellar ‘parental guidance’ up until they were 21. They are currently in their early 30′s.

Unlike other felines/canines, they lack any claws and pawpads on their feet and hands, but still retain pawpads on their hands. This has been attributed to several possible birth defects in regards to their parents' lineage. They also retain their bucktoothed middle fang from early childhood (should have fallen out at the age of 10, but never did - it adds to his cuteness!)

They are missing their top righthand fang, which was lost in an accident whilst in state care (fisticuffs between them and another ward).

Their pelt markings are irregular patterned, and anyone who draws them are permitted to have fun with it :)

They're TINY in comparison to other furries! By a species standpoint, they not quite Regular and not quite "Rughugger" Munchkin, but somewhere right inbetween.

They aren't used to being in new surroundings and will take a lot of time situating themselves...but once established, they become a fixture of the place.

They're the beloved companion and lover of Stewart Hounsdtooth, the critic for food and fashion in Neo-Paris ("Column for the Connoisseur") - but they do moonlight as other roles in Stewart's side-job as an "employment scout" (amongst other titles like "spy", "thief" and "sharpshooter"...). They also look after Percival (Percy) and Montague (Monty), their two companion cats.

Sydney normally accompanies Velindra-Jay Hedgehog and Chellios "Fauxfur" Coyote on their various jobs, and takes orders from Admiral William "Billy" Westin, their boss.

They're fond of most foods, but cannot stand the taste of olives or mushrooms (makes them ill).
