SPECIAL OPS: LIONESS 2.07 / the devil has aces

Behold! Big Kitties!

I wanted to make one of these for fun mostly, also because I wanted to slightly update how I draw the Fleets to fit the Homotherium mummy; mostly in the lack of carpal pads and that brown is the wildtype colour uvu

Notes that didn't fit:

- Eye colours can be anything natural-looking except in Ice Fangs, which are always blue (that's actually where their name comes from)

- None of the colour variants are sexually dimorphic (though some may be sex linked)

- All species can be fluffier than shown here (especially in winter), I just shaved them here to show the varied anatomy

- All the cats probably have a melanistic and albino variant but there aren't any in Kindred so I didn't include them

- I'm never gonna draw the characters in Kindred with detailed patterns as shown here, that would take 554637 hours per page cx

Don't @ me about paleo inaccuracies bc there's a lot of intentional exaggerations e.g. how variable they can be, for the sake of making characters actually fun to work with + the Tuft Tails are basically just lions because their skeletal anatomy is sooooo similar but bigger (and lions are pretty)
