CAIT

The Caitians were a warp capable species. The feline appearance of Caitians included long manes and a tail. While the skin of some Caitians was covered with fur that varied in color from orange to black, other Caitians were without fur or trimed down completely. Female Caitians grew long human-like hair on their heads. (Star Trek: The Animated Series; Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home; Star Trek Into Darkness) The voices females speak with have a soft, cat-like purring quality. Some Caitians did not find it necessary to use footwear. (Star Trek: The Animated Series) As the Caitian homeworld was a Federation member, Caitians are known to serve in Starfleet and on the Federation Council, and were present as members in 2286.
