Felinids are anatomically identical to humans aside from the obvious differences of the ears and tail. These appendages are often used by felinids to express emotion and mood, sometimes involuntarily. Felinid ears are their main feature, as many think they are just an addition to their pre-existing ears that humans have, they are in fact a replacement. No human ears exist on a full blood felind. In addition, their new ears are incredibly sensitive and as such are much more vulnerable and damaged by loud noises. | Felinids are anatomically identical to humans aside from the obvious differences of the ears and tail.

Overview
Despite the racism and prejudice pointed in the direction of Felinids, since receiving their Civil rights in 2187, plenty hold high ranking jobs on stations and ships spread mainly throughout the middle systems. Studying any social behavior quickly reveals the tendency for like attracts like, especially in the case of the Felinids. They are often seen only spending time with one another in any particular crew and may continue to for some time. Despite their predisposition to themselves, they are still present everywhere that humans are. Despite their history of civil rights abuses, they much prefer to associate with humans more than any of the other species, not because they are scared of them, but simply because they do not know them as well.
The predecessors to the Felinids were nothing more than human beings with too much money or time on their hands. From their birthplace in the Wolf 359 star system and across the galaxy, some niche groups of humans couldn’t help but fall in love with the minor genetic modifications which led to human-feline hybrids. Many don’t share this sentiment, however, and as such Felinids have gone through a lot of racial prejudice in the few decades they’ve been around.
Felinids are anatomically identical to humans aside from the obvious differences of the ears and tail. These appendages are often used by felinids to express emotion and mood, sometimes involuntarily. Felinid ears are their main feature, as many think they are just an addition to their pre-existing ears that humans have, they are in fact a replacement. No human ears exist on a full blood felind. In addition, their new ears are incredibly sensitive and as such are much more vulnerable and damaged by loud noises.
Some unfortunate side effects of the genetic modification, be it given to a chosen human or passed down to their offspring are: Sensitivity to theobromine, a chemical most commonly found in chocolate, can sometimes lead to nausea, vomiting, and can even be poisonous in large enough quantities. Newly developed aquaphobia or fear of bodies of water are common among felinids. Due to the positioning of their ears, their ear canals are elongated, causing a small reduction of the frontal lobe to make up for the space used by the ear canals. Changes in speech patterns have also been documented but not proven to be a side effect of felinid genes. It is widely regarded that the Felinid dialect, the colloquially referred “Nyaspeak” is not a development of genetics, but instead a development of culture.
