I remember the cat aliens from the silver packs of Heritage Star Trek 25mm range.

I did some cat aliens about 12 years ago in 18/12mm. Sold the mounds to a guy in Florida. Avaians, canine, centaurs and Minotaurs also in the mix.

I have a set of rules from the 70s called Space Marine. Author was called something like A. Mark Ratner. One of the races was the Mekpurrs…

Bugs are my jam, but it seems like they are always getting chased by the cat aliens.

These are all cute, but not half as funny as the hairless apes of Sol III. I can spend days just watching them argue over who's the alpha male, or shouting loud opinions with no information.

I don't know about that. The females of the hairless apes on Sol III only have 2 breasts! How inefficient when raising a litter of … kittens? Pups? Kids?
The cat and dog people have many more, and that makes them more efficient.
