Many years ago, there was a neighborhood cat who was likewise, earning the inevitable name, "Thumbs."

Well, we had a good run....
A cat-astrophe.
How come Caitians are a member of the Federation then?
They run that shit.
On the original question - I really want Q to appear at least one more time. Break the fourth wall by directly looking into the camera and saying “Everything is Canon!” and a wink. No context or further explanation.
If James Gunn introduces Mxyzptlk as I hope he does. The very same thing.

Yeah, I think cats are probably the one animal I would not want to see develop thumbs...
When they were in, they wanted to be out. And when they were out, they wanted to be in.
As I recall, that was a comic relief bit in a novel. Probably one that takes place in the "First Splinter" universe.
It was from the Peter David New Frontier novel that added M'Ress and Arex to the series cast.
If I recall correctly it was a good joke until the point where a character went, "You know, like CATS!" for those of us who didn't get it.
I do wonder why later works have always based Caitians on housecats when M'Ress was obviously based on a lion (albeit a male one, oddly, given the mane). But then, Majel Barrett gave her a "purring" voice in one episode, so that may have influenced it.
Odd, I never got that vibe at all. And not just one appearance; to the best of my recollection, Majel voiced her consistently that way.
I remember a "B-plot" that ADF gave to one of his "Star Trek Log" books, involving all Caitans on board going into heat at the same time, and running amuck.
At any rate, T'Ana's potty-mouth certainly rings true.
Tawny fur. Rounded ears. A tail with a tuft at the end. A mane. All leonine attributes.
And no, there was only one episode where M'Ress "purred" her R's.
That was from Log Ten, Foster's version of what was happening back on the Enterprise during the events of "The Slaver Weapon." One of the three original plots Foster added to the adaptation, respectively taking place before, during, and after the episode.
I was pretty sure it was "Slaver Weapon." Because it had to have been an episode where Spock, and the main action, were at a considerable distance from the ship.
Correcting myself -- on reflection, I'm thinking of the episode where she appended a purr to the end of each line. She may have done a bit of rolling/purring Rs routinely in other episodes, but it didn't go that far, I think.
You mean farrrrrrr.
Inspired by this thread, I've just finished reading The Lost World and The Poison Belt for the first time. I thought TLW was a lot of fun and quite well-written, but TPB was much less successful (and it seems like Doyle was already becoming occupied with thoughts about mortality and the afterlife when he wrote it). Now I'm debating whether I'm enough of a completist to read The Land of Mist out of morbid curiosity. There are also the two short stories that were written last, but that Wikipedia's "biography" of Challenger places before TLoM, so I may read them first.
