I am the first to live upon earth
I have given birth to your own kind, the furred, and the flying
I have ruled your world, and I have been replaced
I am a being of the warm air, of the sun, of the earth
I am the one who is feared, and the one who fears

Perhaps it's water?

For the first line, it could work depending on how you think of it, since organisms are made up of some portion of water, I believe, any first organism would have water in it.
The second line works since once again, organisms have water in them, and we need water to survive.
The third line since water takes up most of our planet, although, it says "your world," which could mean the way in which you live or interpret the world, since at one point we just focused on main necessities, water, food, air, etc., but now, even though we still need these things, (a lot of) people don't have to worry about it as much due to our advances and progress, and thus the complete need for the necessities has been replaced by trying to go forward and doing other things in life.
For the fourth line, water works as a being of warm air since there is water vapors in the air and all, and that made me think of humidity as well, the sun evaporates it, and water covers most of earth.
Water can work for the last line because we do fear water, as we could die without it or with too much of it. It 'fears' because of climate change which could cause quite of a bit of destruction in our earth and change it.

edit;; has to do with shedding cat because of the changes water is causing in earth
another edit since i didn't feel like i explained the edit above well;; since the shedding could mean climate changing or change in general like your shedding your personality or something to become new, hope that explains it better

The 3rd line could refer to Dinosaurs (When dinos ruled the earth yada yada)
But that doesn't fit with 1 and 2

[Pyromaniacal]

I'm thinking it could be some creator spirit type thing? I don't know enough about mythology to tell you which one, though.

Nothing mythological!

Will also say nothing extremely tiny or abstract. You can pick one up in your hand and hold it if you wanted.This is gonna turn into a 20 questions isn't it

[CandyCorn.]

HHhhhhhhhh that means it is a solid

[Yaeli]

I'm still thinking a reptile, like a lizard, maybe a snake.

"I am the first to live upon earth"
"I have given birth to your own kind, the furred, and the flying"
Scientists believe that reptiles lived in earlier times than did birds or mammals, which evolved from reptile-like creatures.

"I have ruled your world, and I have been replaced"
Kind of goes with the first two; also, dinosaurs are reptile-like creatures, and this fits dinosaurs really well too.

"I am a being of the warm air, of the sun, of the earth"
Being cold-blooded, they need to be in the warm and and lie in the sun. The often go on rocks (earth) as well to absorb heat.

"I am the one who is feared, and the one who fears"
As in my earlier post, could refer to snakes, maybe other reptiles that people fear.

Also, reptiles shed their skin like the shedding cat.

Plus, look at Cel's profile, it has like 3 reptiles on it including the profile pic.

According to Google and Wikipedia, the first known creature to walk the earth was called Pneumodesmus https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumodesmus
Which I think is a bug of some sort? Not a reptile or lizard

Thats it! The answer is reptile ^^

I am the first to live upon earth
Firstly, wanted to point out that it doesn't say 'Earth', it says 'earth', meaning land/dirt, not the planet. I did say I worded some of these very specifically. This one depends more on how you interpret it, but it is referring to the first animals that lived on land, which were reptiles (suppose it depends on how you interpret 'animal' as well, but the first amphibians only walked on land but didn't actually live there, the reptiles evolved from those and had a full land-based life). Though technically there were some centipede/millipede and insects as well.

I have given birth to your own kind, the furred, and the flying
All mammals and avians evolved from reptiles!

I have ruled your world, and I have been replaced
Yes, dinosaurs.

I am a being of the warm air, of the sun, of the earth
Reptiles are cold-blooded, depend on the sun for their heat

I am the one who is feared, and the one who fears
Mostly just referring to things such as snakes, being a common fear, but at the same time we've got little anole lizards and that are scared of pretty much anything that moves.

As said, the first line is more open-ended in its meaning. I couldn't exactly be super specific about the type of animal, but did want to include something that referenced their early evolution compared to mammals and birds. Take it how you will. I did say to just move on from the first line if you're getting too hung up on it.

So, my cat will be a reptile! No specific type of reptile, though it does include a few things from different species, its really just meant to be a reptilian cat. They are shedding their fur because they are going to be growing scales! Very excited (I'm excited).

I did include a few other things scattered about which were noted;

>~,""";~~
Its a lizard. I like lizards c':

My stamp collection;

The entire thing hints to different aspects actually!
The lizard, scaled dragon-dog, and june stamp with the chameleon just referencing lizards in general (though my birthday is actually in june)
The cat has a little tooth (ok its not really a tooth but hey I got limited choices in stamps). My cat may or may not also have a visible tooth
Purple lion -> purple cat
The saying at the bottom mostly referencing that my stamp collection is indeed a hint.
And the little imp has yellow eyes, just like my cat!

Some of thats a bit of a stretch, but no one really pointed it out till just now anyway ouo/

Also, the fact that my coded hint was on my character Dustil wasn't a coincidence, my cat's eyes are in fact both yellow and orange, which Dustil's are too! I think someone pointed out the eye color at one point as well so points for that!

Obviously most of those weren't gonna help on their own, but they were meant to be little clues in figuring out which was mine if it hadn't been last to be claimed.

When my cat grows, I'll say a bit more about my own meaning/inspiration behind it, for now just wanted to explain the hints!

*Facepalm*, we all tried way too hard on that one, lol! But now that you say that, i cant unsee it. Really excited to see what yours will grow up to look like.

[Eaglespirit]

Yes, dinosaurs.

Dinosaurs are not really reptiles

And didnt you say your okaki drawings where the hints were had nothing to do with your cat? They are all dragons and reptiles
