A pegacat is a small flying feline not dissimilar in size and appearence to a house cat (felis domesticus), except of course for its handsome wings, with which it is able to soar for hours in spiraling updrafts, contemplating the grandeur and beauty of nature (or chasing pigeons).

Traveller's tales of pegacats in Africa growing to such great size as to be able to carry off young elephants to their mountain aeries have not been confirmed by any responsible witnesses and no heed should be paid to such obvious fabrications.
