Big, huge open grassland area in the south?  You know the Wemics that live there?  Tribal, semi-nomadic tauric lion guys?  Those ones?  Yeah, replace them with Catfolk.  Bam, there you go.  As an added bonus, one of the primary type of Local Marauding Humanoids out on the Shaar are Gnolls.  Sometimes this stuff just writes itself.I can certainly agree with the general annoying state of "OMG squeeee!" fanism.  It's annoying no matter what it applies to.  Cat people.  Elves.  Ninjas.  Whatever.  That grows old quick.  But that's more a function of the fan than of the material.On a seperate note - along the lines mentioned by Just Kim.  Rakshasa are not cute fuzzy cat people.  Ever.  Rakshasa are evil, lie-weaving, misery-spreading, flesh-consuming goddamn demon shapeshifters.  They don't play with friggin' balls of twine, they eat your children while making you watch.  No, wait, scratch that.  They steal your face, kill your children, then dominate you and make you eat them.</blockquote>
