Additional Notes:

- Technically, it should be "Kzinti". "Kzin" is the singular form.

- The Kzinti appeared in the 1973 Star Trek animated series episode "The Slaver Weapon" by renowned science fiction author Larry Niven.

- Niven adapted the Kzinti from his own 1966 short story "The Warriors", and aspects of the story itself from his own 1967 short story "The Soft Weapon", all set in his Known Space series of stories in which they made frequent appearances.

- In ADB's Star Fleet Universe games, the Kzintis (plural) have no tails; as in Star Trek and Niven's Known Space series, these Kzinti do.

- 4 figures with two poses; 2 with rifles, 2 with handguns. Fewer figures because they're larger and heavier (see below). Each figure has "ⓒ1978 PPC" (Paramount Pictures Corporation) etched on the base, along with "1622A" for Handgun-Kitteh, "1622B" for Rifle-Kitteh.

- For purposes of comparing scale, I've included a pic showing the Kzinti with Heritage's Kirk miniature (1604A).
