There are no all-black telepaths for this reason. Though full black coats are rare, and most who have them are taken by the black priests. Kzinti are covered with a thick coat of long fur (except the ears, the tail, palms and soles ) that comes in various combinations of orange, yellow, and black, with orange being the most common. The tails of Kzinti are naked and are similar in appearance to a rat's, giving rise to the derogatory moniker "rat-cat," used by humans living on occupied Wunderland. These claws are nearly as effective as a w'tsaiin dispatching prey and are often used in lieu of weapons when hunting non-sentient prey. Both their hands and feet have retractable claws that are described as "razor-sharp". They stand on two legs like humans (no digitigrade or "backwards-bending" legs), their feet have five toes, their hands end in three fingers and an opposable thumb. They have a barrel-chested torso with a flexible spine, and large fangs and claws. They have large membrane ears with fur only on the outside of the ear and only about half way up the ear itself, usually appear pink they can fold back flat against the head for protection during a fight. Kzinti are larger than humans, standing around eight feet (2.4 to 2.8 meters) tall and weighing around 500 lbs (200kg).
