Also one of #Niven s' #Kzinti #Puppeteer stories, a carnivorous telepath was reading the pilot's mind, and didn't like the memory of a crunched carrot.

How about bright pink with purple trim!
If it’s good enough for Larry Niven’s Kzinti in Star Trek the animated series (in Niven’s own adaptation of his short story ‘The Soft Weapon’) then any author should be proud to have their antagonists in pink spacesuits in their mauve spaceships. :packetcat_wink:

I don’t think that the Kzinti women are non sentient. Just that their patriarchy kept them completely separate.
The males weren’t even given names until they’d proven themselves. So it seems more a legal than biological fact in #Kzinti society.
I’ve wondered if what’s actually going on in that female Kzin live in their matriarchal prides and toss the males out when they hit puberty and get disruptive. The Kzinti Patriarchy would then be a society of all the tossed out males trying to gain status.

A #Kzinti ensign appears as a recurring supporting character in #LowerDecks & a young Caitian girl becomes a hero in #StarTrekProdigy
#vfx costs were prohibitive for a #Caitian live-action guest star in #Picard, according to Jonathan Frakes who directed the S1 episode in question.
This underscores one of the true value-adds of #animation in #StarTrek and #Scifi more generally - it can bring authors’ imagining of truly alien species to screen.

#Kzinti are #StarTrek canon aliens!
Niven has written (on the official Star Trek site) that he sees this as a separate universe where Kzin exist but don’t necessarily have the same history with humanity.
He’s also written that he views the Caitians as a related species that settled on another world and have much more of a scientific and technological society. While he made the comparison to Romulans and Vulcans, it’s also obvious that the Caitians women are not treated as sub sentient. Like that it’s Uhura that confounds their sexism in this episode.

I regret that this tool has not yet embraced the #felinoids of the #StarTrek franchise. #Caitian and #Kzinti representation is my thing.
Besides, no new avatars for me until #Paramount makes an announcement to #SaveStarTrekProdigy!

CW: #StarTrekLowerDecks E405 - "Empathalogical Fallacies"
T’Ana is really showing that #Caitians aren’t really that many generations away from their less scientific #Kzinti cousins (at least as #Niven and others have it).
Or perhaps she’s of Caitian-Kzinti bi-species heritage, somewhat like a Vulcan with a late 22nd century Romulan grandparent.
Would love to find out that T’Ana’s loss of her tail wasn’t entirely accidental, rather a way to lose a Kzin hairless tail

Strongly recommend #StarTrekTAS. While it ran Saturday morning & had Filmation animation, the writing targeted a general audience, #Scifi writers engaged.
#Niven is clear that the #Kzinti in #StarTrek aren’t in the same universe as the ones in his #Nspace books, but are the same aliens. In his anthology ‘Playgrounds of the Mind’, where the story the TAS episode is based on appears, he says he wanted to share the Kzinti & see what Trek writers would do with them.

If we go with #Caitians & #Kzinti, like Vulcans-Romulans, being one species in origin - as put forward in B-canon #WorldsOfTheFederation & confirmed by #Niven himself in #PlaygroundsOfTheMind - then it’s not at all surprising that the more scientifically minded Caitians shared their Kzinti cousins willingness to consume other sentient species.

Coda on upright #Kzinti!
Turns out that in terms of broadcast date, the first time we see a Kzin in #StarTrekTAS is S1E12 ‘The Time Trap’ - with upright posture!
A red-furred Kzin is shown at the meeting table. A production preparatory drawing clearly labels the figure as Kzinti (reprinted in Harvey and Schepis’ Official Guide to the Animated Series).
All the more to say bravo to #LowerDecks for slipping in the scene
