I’m thinking of playing a snow leopard, looking Tabaxi ranger, more of like a kind of old, “doesn’t talk a lot because killing is easier” and while you think of a response for that he already has his scimitar to your throat
Well, Very late to this discussion, but Cats are where it's at.
In the two campaigns I am running in, I have a Tabaxi Barbarian - Pounce de León. I did point buy and he is 16 ST, 16 Dex, 14 Con, 10 Int, 12 Wis and 9Cha. He is just starting out because my Dragonborn Paladin led the party into an encounter that wiped 4 of us out, and would've been a TPK, but the rear guard took off for the hills. I am still fleshing out his backstory, but he speaks with a Spanish accent and spreads some of that in his speech. Barbarians with the mobility of a Tabaxi are awesome!
But I digress - my other campaign has just begun and it is a Leonin - my first time playing that race. He is more of a Barbarian than the Tabaxi and he is Jean-Clawed and speaks with a French accent with a smattering of french expressions mixed in for fun. (My Dragonborn, Starshi, spoke in a Russian accent with a few Russian words and phrases in his speech)
I have played several Tabaxis, 2 Warlocks and a Swashbuckler and Arcane Trickster. They all have their own personalities, The Leonin is in Ravnica and is a very bitter Gruul. He growls a LOT when something doesn't sit well with him. I have yet to get into a situation where he has had to use his GROWL to disperse any crowds. I certainly am going to miss the agility of the Tabaxi, for sure!
A bit different from your stories, but I am "playing", by a certain definition of playing, a tabaxi sorcerer who is, in my opinion, the cutest thing that has ever existed, though coming from a cat lover such as myself, that's not saying much. What I'm actually doing is using CRGE, or Conjectural Roleplaying Gamemaster Emulator, to play by myself. Not quite the full D&D experience, but still fun.
Her name is Clouded Crescent and she may or may not multiclass into rogue at a later date, because her fluffy little calico self gives off strong Oliver Twist vibes. What little magic she has, she learnt by being essentially the janitor at the local wizard school, think Argus Filch but nicer, and listening in on snippets of lessons, stealing lost pages of homework, et cetera. None of it should work, she has none of the theoretical framework to back it up, it's all learnt by clumsy imitation and held together with spit and a prayer, she's accidentally breaking all sorts of supposed barriers simply because no one ever told her such barriers existed. She's living vicariously through the wealthier students who are paying a tuition she could never afford, and learning her own kind of magic by more or less begging for scraps from their table.
You can do what true cats in real live do. When you're not watching them they do things they seem they wouldn't do the minute they get caught they pretend they won't do them... So yeah you could throw in he totally refuses to be in water but when nobody's looking he's having fun playing in it. And then just add a little later that he gets caught by someone:)
So much fun. Also, my Tabaxi's fear of water was super easy for my DM to regularly work in on Strahd.
Also, I kind of love the idea of a Tabaxi wizard who keeps tripping over their robes...
Heaven doth with us as we with torches do, not light them for themselves.
I like the idea of a Tabaxi who used to be a rocking chair that got true polymorphed and has an obsession with stepping on the tails of other tabaxi.

Shenanigans will ensue.
