| | |
| The '''Catkind''' were a race of [[humanoid]] felines that inhabited the [[planet]] [[New Earth]] during the [[The Far Future|5,000,000th millennium]] alongside [[Human]] colonists.
| |
| | |
| ==Biology==
| |
| ===Physical appearance===
| |
| Catkind had some similarity to the non-humanoid [[cat]]s of [[Earth]], though closer to the size of a Human. They had fur of a variety of lengths and colours, including brown, black and [[Wikipedia:tabby|tabby stripes]] ([[DW]]: ''[[Gridlock]]''). They had retractable claws which they can use for defence. ([[DW]]: ''[[New Earth (TV story)|New Earth]]'')

| |
| | |
| ===Life cycle===
| |
| Catkind reproduced in their teenage years, and often had litters of several kittens. They could also reproduce with Humans, with the kittens looking just like the kittens of conventional Earth house [[cat]]s, though capable of speech. ([[DW]]: ''[[Gridlock]]'')
| |
| | |
| Catkind could apparently live for at least 30 years, as [[Hame|Novice Hame]], a member of the [[Sisters of Plenitude]], was young in the year [[5,000,000,023]] at the time of the order's dissolution, and lived beyond the [[Face of Boe]]'s death in [[5,000,000,053]]. ([[DW]]: ''[[New Earth (TV story)|New Earth]]'', ''[[Gridlock]]'')
| |
| | |
| ==History==
| |
| Individuals of Catkind descent had been involved in several important events on [[New Earth]].
| |
| | |
| :''Based on the comments by Novice Hame, the Cats may have been the original inhabitants of New Earth. The [[Sisters of Plenitude]], at least, were on the planet before the Humans arrived.''
| |
| | |
| The Sisters of Plenitude ran a hospital called [[Pleasure Gardens]] near [[New New York]] on [[New Earth]]. They had cures for nearly every known [[:Category:Diseases and illnesses|ailment]] and were able to heal their patients with a remarkable success rate. Unfortunately, these amazing skills were gained by using thousands and thousands of grown Human [[clone]]s known as "[[The Flesh]]". They were infected with every known disease and culled in the rare cases of them starting to show signs of thought. These disease carriers were released by [[Lady Cassandra]] and eventually cured by [[Tenth Doctor|the Doctor]], producing the [[New Human]]s. The Sisters were later arrested by the [[New New York Police Department|NNYPD]] for their actions. ([[DW]]: ''[[New Earth (TV story)|New Earth]]'')
| |
| | |
| After the loss of the [[New Earth Senate]] to a deadly [[Mood drug|mood]] [[virus]], several Cats were trapped in [[the Motorway]], including [[Thomas Kincade Brannigan|Thomas Brannigan]]. ([[DW]]: ''[[Gridlock]]'')
| |
| | |
| :''Presumably, all of the Cats in the upper levels of New New York were wiped out by this virus.''
| |
| | |
| ==Behind the Scenes==
| |
| Though the name "Catkind", has not, to date appeared onscreen, the production team of ''[[Doctor Who]]'' has apparently made this the official name of the species.
