CREDITS
--------
First of all, I must give credit to Raven. Those of you who are experienced with modelling will notice immediately that I 'borrowed' the hands off of one of their models. That's all that's borrowed, though. One day I will learn to model hands ;)

Thanks to Almighty_Gir for lending me some of his very general reference images, which I used and modified in the making of this model.

I'd also like to give some credit to my cat Chelsea, without whom this model would be headless. Just remind me next time not to grab her by the head if I want my fingers intact.

FindSounds.com - great resource if you have decent noise-removal software.

Of course shoutouts go to my forumers, for support as usual, and a big thumbsdown to all the flamers out there. Go away. We don't like you.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

DESCRIPTION
------------
This model is rather self-explanitory once you look at it. It's a player model of a cat-person. That is a humanoid feline. It comes in three different flavors: Puma (default), Panther (blue team), and Tiger (red team).

----------------------
NPC SPAWN INFORMATION
----------------------
You can spawn three NPCs: the Puma, the Panther, and the Tiger. The commands are as follows, in order:

npc spawn cat
npc spawn cat_blue
npc spawn cat_red
npc spawn cat_white

As you can see, I just tied them in to the team colors. It's simple, so it shouldn't be too difficult to forget. Also remember you can use all of these through the single-player customization menu.

To use the white tiger skin in multiplayer, use the command: /model cat/white

BUGS
-----
I'm going to dedicate this section to the model's shortcomings rather than actual bugs, since to my knowledge there are none. This is my first released player model, though by no stretch of the imagination is this my first model ever. Even so, I'm still kind of a newbie at this player modelling thing, so my style isn't quite perfect yet. As a result, this model doesn't deform perfectly in certain areas, specifically the shoulder. Part of this is poor polyflow in the shoulder area, and part of it is that I'm not an experienced rigger, either. However I've rigged it to the best of my ability, so it's not as bad as it was :p.

COMMENTS
---------
I'm very happy with this model. It has its faults, but I think for what it is it turned out quite well. I imagine this model could be used for anything from dueling to RPG (it looks like a Togorian to me, because I don't like the concept images of Togorians...)
