Homebrew Cat Person Race V2 Species Details
The results of genetic experiments? A horrible mutation gone wrong? (Or right depends on who you ask). A frisky night between a Tabaxi and a human? Who knows? All that matters is they exist whether you like it or not! They’re versatile, they’re sneaky, they might just be moody too! Though they all tend to act like normal humans, sometimes their cat-like instincts still will kick in. Many people do not seem to like them, many call them abominations, or freaks. Though others seem to love them if only for their weird fantasies. Point is, they are usually either seen as mistakes or exploited. There are some areas though, where they are respected.
