What's a good name for cat people that's not total gibberish and doesn't mention cats?

The common name of a people is not often the name they call themselves

Canines are Kont, felines are Brab.

That's what they used in Ni no Kuni.

That Dovahcat never fails to make me sad.

I used to find it sad too until I noticed he'd taken an arrow to the knee.

What about the pawhites and pawblacks?

They stay on /pol/ with the rest of the garbage.

Hassati from Dungeon Siege

What about it?

>siamese wizards
These are clearly Thai cats, not Siamese. When will people stop making this mistake.

Slaadi are French.

>Not pawl
BAKA desu famalam

>nobody calls Humans "apefolk"
Actually in >muh setting, catpeople do.

It's mutual.

Felenins

The Bastet, hailing from the kingdom of Bubasti.

That's near the slime kingdom of Djelibeybi isn't it?

They are also two of the earliest sounds we're able to make during childhood development, so it makes sense.

We learn to make sounds in a very clear order almost worldwide, with 'D' 'B' or 'P' sounds coming first, and 'R' always coming last.

Khajit

>and 'R' always coming last.

Or never, in the case of the japanese.

I thought it was L they don't have a phonetic analog for?

Go away, forcedelfposter.

I laughed.

Wrong, slaadi are Kekistani.

Just pick some exotic language and google what cats are in it. That's how everyone else does it.

What about the Mau Maus?

Rakasta

Friends.

(you)

Their version of an r is really an l - basically because the first contact between humans and the japanese involved the dutch, transliteration has always been a bit fucked between japanese and romanji scripts.

Kzin.

Now there's a name I haven't heard since the late 1980's.

I want to be friends with then but im allergic

Harbl

I like the cut of your gib, sir

Anything that means 'The people' but spoken with a cat mouth. Because everyone calls themselves the people and everyone else [noun]-people or [noun]folk

In a setting that I made with my first group catfolk were called keddicats and kittycat was used as a slur.
I ditched that setting after I separated from them.

Arbadians
I don't know what it means, just typed the first thing that came to mind.

Dat's right!

Jellicles.

feline furmanoids

Making an Oregon Trail joke when you haven't even played the game...

Yup.
Khajiit just means "Desert-walker" or "one who Deserts" in their language, because that's what they define themselves as.

Best answer right here.

MFW Nobody suggests "Thunderan."

Felidar

The Floofbutts

Mau

It's what they call themselves after all.

I'm fine with that

Katzenmenschen

>between humans and the japanese
Truer words have never been misspoken.

>In Soviet Russian, pussy eats you!

No Anglo will figure out how to pronounce this.

>chaos
>frogs
Uhhhhh... wait

Combine the sch into a harder hissing sh noise and it's pronounced exactly like it's spelled.

I dunno if you're ignorant about German pronunciation or if you're underestimating the lack of linguistic sensitivity of the average native speaker of English, but you're wrong. And and both represent the exact same sound: [ʃ]

>humans are apes
Maybe you are you baboon.

Tailless primate. What else would you call it?

>elves, dragons, and mermaids don't call Humans "apefolk", so it's unrealistic that humans would call cat people catfolk.
You raise a very pointless point.

...
I-is Kek a Slaadi Lord?

The word human is functionally "apefolk" since the word's etymology starts at homo which is derivative of hominid

It's just a long winded form to essentially say folk (or more intelligent lifeform) similar to ape

Hominid you idiot

Homo- means same or similar, with the implication being human because it's a name we gave ourselves.

A non-human race would not call us homo-.

>The Latin word homo comes from hominid and not vice versa

I'm glad you said it.
