| Background | The planet Cait is a normal class-M world within the Lynx constellation. Caitians practice total equality of the sexes, and have throughout their recorded history. Even Caitian names have no gender indicated, so a male child is just as likely to be named after his mother as his father. |
| Editors Notes | This race walks erect as bipeds, but are descended from creatures similar in some respects to Terran felines. Caitians are extremely dexterous and fast. They are also considered attractive by most humanoid species, and humans seem especially interested in relationships with adult Caitians. Caitians are exceptionally good at communications. They are very cooperative, intelligent, and easy to get along with, as such, they are eagerly sought after as Starfleet crew. It has been hypothesized that they share a common ancestry with the Kzin. |
