You've been saying larger -- you've been saying Panther sized as they were in RQ. You can't have the arguement both ways.

I suggest you look into the food consumption of a large cat again. Particularly if they are as active as all that.

Not in my Glorantha. That seems a bit too outre. They are helpful and a
companion of one's god/ess but that's partially because they are so
useful. The gods might do so, but they might also speak through fire,
wind blown leaves. The only example we have is the one from Cults of
Prax and, frankly, divine companions are _far_ rarer than they were
under RQ where every Runelord/Priest seemd to have some funky companion.
Now, its much rarer and noteworthy. I like that. Makes them special and
wonderful to have rather than expected.
