I really hope so.

There’s also the #Vedala from #TAS ‘The Jihad’. Not sure if they’re feliniods or lemurians, having been described as like both cats and lemurs.

In this case, the #Vedala appeared in ‘The Jihad’ many episodes ahead of the Kzinti’s appearance in ‘The Slaver Weapon.’

It seems we can attribute the hunched Kzinti to their lemur-like Vedala animated predecessors out-of-universe.

In-universe, my headcanon is that the #Kzinti (like their #Caitian cousins) were always upright but affected a hunched posture to emulate the Vedala.

The hunched posture was also the norm for another #StarTrekTAS species the Vedala.

In S1E6 the #Vedala are introduced as the ‘oldest space-faring race known to the Federation. They also have cool holographic technology. They are both described as cat-like and lemur-like.

It would be great to see #LowerDecks bring us another encounter with this non-humanoid and ancient species.
