Summary
Medicine had changed so much in their very long lives - machines that could photograph the body with veins lit like highways at night, hearts and pancreas and kidneys grown in labs, therapies to ease pain and nightmares and allergies of all things.

The word had meant something like "feline" but not "feline"; it had referred to the bigger cats, the ones that were all massive shoulder and paw and also, somehow, lolling pink tongues and dismay at the antics of small winged creatures.
Joe can't remember the word, or indeed even the language. He remembers Andy had agreed, saying that Nico just needed a tail to flick, and Joe had joined in, remarking on Nico's ability to stalk prey.
