-- Uhm. Can we tone their Dex down? As well as their Int and Wis? I have a hard time swallowing this race as balanced with Str +2, Dex +6, Int +2, Wis +2. Oh, but their balanced by ONLY having normal Cha ... right. It also doesn't emulate the Gazetteer stat modifications. Suggest maybe -2 Str, +4 Dex, -2 Wis. Or +4 Dex, -2 Wis. If you want their statblock to be better, then give the Rakasta in the statblock a Nonelite Array first. This is common in MM for PC races presented as "monsters."Stats, how about : Abilities: Str 13, Dex 17, Con 11, Int 12, Wis 12, Cha 10
Also, I don't see why they should get Finesse for free. Actual cats themselves don't get a bonus Feat.
Giving them the same bonuses as a housecat looks a bit silly. Those bonuses may be applicable to a Tiny, quadrupedal version of the race though. Suggest going with the more limited bonuses given to larger cats, like the Tiger. I have no problem letting them get a "catlike" bonus for Jump and Climb as per the smaller beasties. So maybe:
Skills: Rakasta have a +4 racial bonus on Balance, Hide, and Move Silently checks, and can use their Dex for Climb and Jump.
