Felinids are currently the most boring species in the game. The only difference between them and regular humans is the ears and the brain damage. There's no reason to play one unless you're a complete weeb that has given up on life.
Hoping to fix this issue, I propose a few changes to their species:
rats and mice are always hostile to them
they have a completely carnivore diet, with a preference for mice (they should compete with lizards for food)
lactose intolerant (play burp noise and puke)
they make loud and unsettling noises randomly
they lose mental stability whenever they're touched by water
to clean themselves they must perform a slow lick action on each body part
puke hair (should be harder to clean, always happens after they lick themselves)
chocolate and caffeine deal high amounts of toxin damage to them
no fall damage
I feel like these are some pretty fun and balanced changes, and will likely get more people to play them.
So basically a lot of people get up in arms every time a catgirl change pr goes through, leading the only changes to actually be done being done VERY CAREFULLY and VERY deliberately.
The chocolate change was tried, and man was it hell and it led to this as the final pr:
Basically: Making a bunch of character's species gross and vomity and annoying makes the people who play them mad, adding anything to felinids makes people who don't play them mad, and finally breaking the freeze on them makes maintainers mad.
None of these mechanics sound interesting once the initial novelty wears off, aside from perhaps diet preferences/limitations such as being carnivorous. The race at its core is unimaginative, so its no wonder it’s proposed mechanics would be.

Well, I had a felinid dna only mutation (so it could only be found in felinids, but anyone could use the genetics) that made you drop all your items and equip wolverine claws. that was pretty neat but RIP
I already use Deviant Tastes on at least one of my cat characters for the express purpose of devouring rats in front of people and vomiting from sweets onto the bar's rug.
the people that get mad about "thing other people like but I don't like" are bad for the game
it's like the people who were screaming about lizard legs being a fetish or some shit, if you give them any ground at all it just encourages them
You're right that people who get autistically upset about felinids are bad for the game.
It doesn't really change the fact that felinids are a dumb, boring species that adds nothing to the game, and should either be made unique or removed.

Imagine my grandparents surviving nazi concentration camps only for their grandson to be accused of nazism for criticizing a citrus fruit on the internet.
