The more hominid the better, buuuuuuuut if the cat is at least human-level sapient I suppose I could make an exception. If they're game, why not?
Still, I prefer a more compatible build.
Also it depends on the species, too. I'm not really into snake or giraffe or fish or chicken furries. Cats and canines, okay. Squirrels or mice? Eh. Horses? Meighby, depends on the face. Elephants NO THANK YOU.
