Anthropomorphized cats are not at all uncommon in fantasy in general,
I'm not sure anything here is particularly Kzinti-like. In contrast,
consider the Kilrathi from the Wing Commander game series, which clearly
were at the very least inspired by Niven's Kzinti.

Not especially. This Kaze character appears to be a Bengal Tiger. Kzin
are described as having both cat-like and rat-like attributes.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: Kzin in film? |

Well, there's that hairless pink tail. Was there anything else rat like?

Nope. The ears unfolded like Chinese parasols. Don't see many rats doing
that.

Well, OK, but the ears are more "rat-like" than "cat-like".<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: Kzin in film? |

If you've got rats with ears like that, I suggest calling Hasmat and Ripley's,
in that order.
I never noticed she has the hands on backwards before - right hand is on the
left arm (outward opposable thumbs). I wonder if that was intentional . . .

You'd be surprised how often people make that mistake when drawing a figure in
an unusual pose. Done it myself.

Or when geting dressed before you're fully awake. One time I was struggling with
the doorknob before I realized I had my feet on my arms and my hands in my
shoes. Boy was THAT embarrasing.

At least you caught it before you got to work. My employees were pointing and
quietly laughing for hours 'til I figured out what was up.

The hands are NOT reversed. The hand to the rear is the left hand and you
see the TOP of the hand (or rather not the palm).
