bionicjoeyI’ve never seen TAS but is that an anime catgirl?
That is M’Ress, a Catian, and the back up Comms officer among other roles.
Animation allows for aliens that aren’t just bumpy forehead humanoids.
T’Ana, the Chief Medical Officer in Lower Decks and, a minor recurring character in the first season of Prodigy (shown in my avatar) are also Caitian.

Caitian
The Caitians were a spacefaring feline humanoid species and long-standing members of the United Federation of Planets. Hundreds of years before the 24th century, Caitians hunted and ate Betazoids. After this practice was discontinued, the Caitians developed a synthetic substitute for Betazoid flesh. (LD: "Empathological Fallacies") Caitians were attending Starfleet Academy by the early 2250s, and the Caitian homeworld was a Federation member with members on the Federation Council by 2286. (DIS:
