Klaustreiche (KLOW-shtrike) are cat-like creatures, with more resemblance to alley cats than beasts of prey. They are noted to be popular with women, but it never ends well as they are very possessive and prone to violence. Klaustreich is intended to mean "Scrounging Prankster,"[2] and is a combination of the German words klauen (meaning stealing) or the word Klaue (meaning claw) and Streich (meaning stroke).
