Lewis Novels.  You can find the D20 stats for Aslan in T20 the Travellers Handbook. Several Sources have borrowed and modeled their "Cat People" from the great science fiction author Larry Nivin.  The Kzin (plural Kzinti) are a fictional, very warlike and bloodthirsty race of Felinoid aliens in Larry Niven's Known Space series. Star Trek and  Wing Commander both used the Kzin in various forms in their works.  As for Stats the 1st ed stats can be found in Dragon magizine Issue #50. Also in Dragon #104 are the stats for the Kizinti for the original Star Trek Game.  I am sure that you can find more recient stats for the Kzin in the other Incarnations of Star Trek RPG's, I just do not have access to them.  Also IMHO The character  Ka D'Argo the Luxan from Sci-Fi's "Farscape" was derived from the Kzin.  The Luxan have many of the Kzin traits but the writers had to make enough changes to them to avoid stepping on too many legal toe's.  But that is just my opinion.</blockquote>
