    had no goddang clue the cat was a preexisting thing from an older trek

    It's not...they stapled Larry Niven's Kzinti onto TAS for no reason other than someone liked Niven. They don't belong in the universe and I thought they had been rightfully expelled back to where they came from

        Oh, it's a one-off species called a "felinoid" that never appeared again.

        That's actually better. It was going to be worse if they had a Kzinti crew member. I fricken' hate how they did that. I encountered the Kzinti in Starfleet Battles, and was baffled why they were there. I was like, "They're not a Star Trek race!" But then people were like, "Kzinti are cool, what's your problem?" Reruns of TAS weren't on TV and we didn't have the entire archive of old TV on demand like we do now.
