"And catgirls tend to be protective mothers by instinct. Some even have their own 'territory' they make after having a litter of kittens, where only they, their children, and their Master-husband are allowed to be in. Not all of them do this, but it's common enough for me to tell you. I have heard that catfolk offspring like to have places to hide." Interesting. "But to answer your question, there's nothing in particularly to watch out for. Although some half-human children, such as the halflings that emerge between elves and humans, can be somewhat fragile and are in need constant supervision in the first few months after being born. Beastfolk tend to be sturdier, but I would err on the side of caution."
"Alright, noted." You're pretty sure Cattleya already had plans on how to take care of kittens, given that she helped design the hospital/daycare wing of you mansion and had a very survival oriented mindset. She made it have potential for vertical movement, but this was a good reminder to be prepared if nothing else.
"How does human hybridization with other species work?" You ask next.
"It depends, but generally— and there are some notable exceptions— if there's more human blood then the next generation will look human, and vice-versa with whatever species the human procreates with."
"What do you mean?"
"Ah, well, hmm," He thinks for a moment, "That quarter-fae wife of yours provides a good example: Practically human after only a few generations, not holding much of a candle to a fae's full magical potential, though this is exchanged for the usual physical strength humans have. Not to say she doesn't retain some other points from the fae— her weight being the most notable example. Now, if her father had decided to have a fae slave-wife, then she would instead look more like a fae. She definitely wouldn't be so tall then, hoo-hoo.
"With beastfolk something similar can be seen, except in the opposite direction: Beastfolk with strong human blood have a better affinity to magic than their pure-blooded beastfolk relatives, but with less physical strength and natural instinct. Generally, beastfolk that have strong amounts of human blood tend to have two sets of ears; one human and one according to their beastfolk lineage
"But speaking about exceptions,; Merfolk tend to not follow this rule. The Merfolk you've likely heard or seen today is the result of humans and Merfolk intermingling for centuries. They used to appear more bestial and fish-like in the past, but thanks to how much they've mixed they now seem half-human and half-fish, but still retain both the best of human and Merfolk qualities."
"I've heard that hybrids can become infertile." You said, changing the subject before he got too distracted while still keeping it relevant. "Is that something my grandchildren will have to worry about?"
