The kitlings are a species of cat-like creatures introduced in Survival.
Kitlings look like large black house-cats with yellow eyes. The kitlings can teleport from planet to planet, like the Cheetah People. They are scavengers that use their powers to find carrion on different planets. The Cheetah People can telepathically control the kitlings and can see through their eyes. They use the kitlings to find new sources of food and the kitling feed on the scraps. The kitlings were bred by an unknown civilization on the Cheetah People's planet, but they were turned into Cheetah People as well.
