Nhozemphtekh is a she-cat of the Felidae Breed and a minor character in the comic, film and novel.
History[]
First meeting[]
She appears in the first novel, comic and the film. She is seen in Francis' garden where she teased, seduced, and eventually mated with him. After she first mated with him, she refused to tell anything about herself, including her history, breed and name, and beckoned to mate with him a second time. In the book, it is specifically stated she is in heat and is going to get pregnant.
In the book it is later revealed by Claudandus that he purposely sent Nhozemphtekh with the intent to fascinate Francis and make him experience first-hand the beauty and the strength of the breed he created.
After the death of Claudandus and the demise of the Felidae project Francis mentions his intention to meet again Nhozemphtekh and keep a polite relationship.
Further appearances[]
Nhozemphtekh is mentioned in the second book of the series when Francis remembers to have mated with her on different occasions.
Relationship with Francis[]
After their mating, Nhozemphtekh is implied to have become pregnant with Francis's kits. In the novel series this is not further mentioned, but Francis explain in Cave Canem to have no connection or relationship with his offspring, a behavior common about cats, with the notable exception of Junior.
Despite the "evil-look" portrayal and the instinctive comparison with Felicity by many fans, Francis in the novels is described to bear no actual romantic feelings toward either Felicity or Nhozemphtekh herself. Francis's connection with Nhozemphtekh in novels is stated to be purely passion-centered and Francis is notorious for having multiple mating interests during his adventures before ultimately settling with a stable mate: Sancta.
Trivia:[]
- Toward the end of the movie, Francis meets a similar unknown Felidae female, mistaken for Nhozemphtekh by some fans.
- There is no indication that Nhozemphtekh was involved or even knew about the Claudandus' murders. In the novel it is clearly stated that most of the Felidae cats did not care about Claudandus' plans and were more prone to wander and mate like normal cats.
