Noble's Cuddle
A Noble's Cuddle is a Felyran custom and attribute that has developed over the recent thousand years to roughly identify a more relaxed modern custom with rich patriarchal Lionkin, and their harem wives. Typically in history a lionkin harem is concentrated between mothers or breeding stock, and the warriors that protect everything with hopes of becoming the other. Between the two, each got accessories or gifts that were sometimes made to adorn them like prized possessions to show off or boast to other rival harems.
However Noble's Cuddles is considered a harem type developed in the more recent thousands of years where the lines between breeding wives and more relaxed 'emotionally fun' wives were blurred. In a Noble's Cuddles, a notable portion of the wives are plumper and more attentive at cuddling, nuzzling, drinking chats, and social enjoyment of television than they are at guarding the estate. This doubled as a way of boasting wealth, and it became popular to parade these females around as signs of excess and agricultural riches. These females more rarely have offspring in this occupation, as they are still deemed to be less dignified and attractive than the mating wives, however there are times one still fully seduces the lord or form too strong of an emotional bond, and some cases where the mane-lord "just likes his lionesses thicker". They are naturally retired from guard duties, unless thrown back because they were unsatisfying and need to lose the weight.

History
It was believed this started around what was considered the Felyran Century of Peace, when lords/clans stopped warring as much. Those owning the bigger farmlands began to have more of a surplus of food without any war shipments or raid problems, and society was coming together very peacefully, so guards were working significantly less. To avoid spoilage, many ate a lot more, or outright opened storage to their wives and offered them to eat till they were content. Across these richer holds, a lot of the guards began to grow significantly fatter, and while unwelcomed by most lords, others let it roll on and it began to cause traction in the eyes of others, wondering how younger females could suddenly look as big as their lord. Yet the response by a few cunning and proud estates said these were the 'richest' of wives, and it became a more contagious trend sense then, and more estates slowly caught up to enough of a supply to over-feed a few of their females to be in with the trend. The name followed shortly after, mostly coming from lionesses themselves that imagined their fatter peers had the easiest days of always cuddling and watching television in rich luxury. At present day, nearly every clan of high status is expected to eventually try a Noble's Cuddle once they have so many wives to spare in the practice.
