Once there, these beings settled and began to build their civilization. The Caitians are distinctly feline, bipedal, and have a thick coating of fur across their entire body. Full blood Caitians have a thick mane around the back of their head and neck, giving them a lion-like appearance. Partial Caitians lack this mane, but some features are universal, such as the long tail, which moves in varying styles, according to the moods of its owner, the large eyes, with excellent night vision, and pointed ears on the top of the head, with a range of hearing far exceeding that of normal humanoids. The Caitian larynx is structured much differently than that of normal humanoids, giving them a deep, purring resonance when they speak.
Caitian society is based on personal freedom.
The freedom of one individual cannot be compromised, within civilized boundaries. Caitian cities are built with huge, graceful structures, and are very peaceful. One thing humans would notice if in a Caitian city, would be the speed at which things move. Psychological studies of Caitians show that they love games where speed is essential, such as sprinting, and racing of all sorts. Individually, Caitians can run a great deal faster than the normal human.
