I know when it comes to both ‘Furries’ and Furry Like creatures Star Trek is the last thing you’ll ever think about. With all the aliens they ever produced not one on the original series all the way up to the latest film you will not see a single one.
But on the other hand the animated series which ran from September 8, 1973 – October 12, 1974 with a total of 22 episodes is quite a different matter. Take Lt. M’Ress the communications Officer although most guides lists her species as Caitian, she is clearly a female lioness although I do admit there are some differences such as her hair/mane. The same could be said for any of the ‘Furry’ like creatures found on the series. Take the Kziniti from The Slaver Weapon who appear very cat like, like a mixture between lion and say cougar. Then there is the Vedala said to be the oldest space faring species in the entire galaxy, also quite cat like. Also an unnamed reptilian race in the episode BEM. Also there is the Ursinoid from Mudd’s Passion, most guides list them as half bear/ half ape.
If you want to check out the series, surprisingly it’s quite easy just head to Star Trek.com and check out the series there on one of it’s video channels.
Posted below are thumbnails of the species I have been talking about.
