Felinus fortunas or "Good Luck Kittens" as they came to be called, inhabits only clover patches. A large pasture planted only in clover is necessary to support a number of these creatures, as they feed exclusively on rare leaves bearing four leaflets rather than the usual three.


Felinus fortunas come out in numbers when a rainbow appears and they are irresistibly drawn to gold. When the kittens find their way into the manor house they gravitate to jewel boxes or can be found snoozing among the gold coins in a purse. They are drawn to anything shiny and will never refuse a gift of clover honey.


Oddly, they seem to be fond of snakes, not recognizing them as predators. This is attributed to the fact that snakes do not inhabit their native home of Ireland. They are extremely amiable creatures and derive much satisfaction in presenting their homeowners with their lost pieces of jewelry or misplaced gold coins.


Fool's gold, silver and mice who attempt to steal bits of gold to adorn their own nests.
