Whilst I appreciate that an awful lot of work has gone in to editing this page, ultimately there is not much of a reason for it to exist here. The article discusses a fictional species whose evolutionary genus is that of a domestic cat whose features have become similar to that of a human. However, only one of such species is featured prominently throughout the TV series.

My original thought was to try and merge the material in to The Cat (Red Dwarf), however there are no references in this article. I do not feel that the article warrants improvement on its own, although I see no reason for a subset of the information in the article could not be included at The Cat (Red Dwarf) if someone so chose to create it Badanagram (attempt) 12:54, 8 March 2014 (UTC)

 * Merge to The Cat (Red Dwarf), as by far the most significant example of this species/race. There are a significant number of sources about the show (see the References and Further Reading sections of Red Dwarf) so some of this will be sourceable. It does need editing/cutting down, to remove excessive plot. --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:58, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

 * Before I vote...exactly how popular is Red Dwarf? I've never heard of it, but there are separate entries for species like the Borg collective, after all. Bali88 (talk) 21:24, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Fairly popular amongst English science fiction fans, I think. Personally, I wouldn't mind if this article were to be the subject of a Merge or a Keep. Within the Red Dwarf universe The Cat is an extremely important character (one of the "big four"), so an article on his species is similar to an article on Vulcans in Star Trek.
