Lore of Eärwen-Felagund

Started unfolding the crumbled lore in my head. I am no longer Wc3's slave!
"The sun of Catra rose slowly. It foretold a beautiful day for the planet's peaceful inhabitants.
The people of Catra were bizarre, yet curios beings, half-man, half-feline although they retained more feline features that human. They were as tall as any full-grown man, and lived in small huts, in tribes.
Catsan, one of the few black-furred catrans, woke up first, and slowly prepared
for the day. His tribe was one that worshipped nature, and was distrustful of technology. He dressed and went outside. Nobody was awake yet, so he decided to take a walk in the forest, a quiet place where he could meditate. He looked at the sun’s position and noticed it was quite early, giving him plenty of time. A weak breeze gently touched his whiskers when he stepped on the forest floor. The sound of birds and the wind blowing through the trees was a calming one, and Catsan felt very light. He quietly sat on the stump of a fallen tree and closed his eyes. He slowly began to feel every living being within the woods, which was a step of his meditation. The saw birds roosting in the trees, rodents hiding underground, even the essence of the wood itself.
By the time of his return, everybody was awake. They we’re busy to prepare breakfast, which consisted of salad and roast boar, the normal food of catrans. Everything else was a different branch of these.
Catsan came towards the campfire, waiting for his pot. The chef handed him a haunch of the boar and the salad, Catsan grunted a thank you and started eating. There were less than thirty members in his tribe, resulting the smallest on Catra.
The black-furred catran finished his meal and put the pot on the ground near the campfire. After that he retreated at his hut. Lighting his sun-lamp, he kneeled and pulled a small barrel from under his hammock (Catrans rested on boar skin hammocks, rather than beds.). He opened it and poured some of the silvery liquid into a large bowl. As fast as he could, he grabbed one of the black flowers that sat on his table and smashes it above the silver liquid. Slowly, he then whispered: Ireth Inglorion"

More to come, I'm writing in on another site as well, but there it currently has 2 parts.

Interesting, what I would have liked was a more detailed description of the "Catrans". Exactly what is human and what is not?

They appear like humans combined with cats.

That's a start. But what parts of the body is feline, and what is human? Description like that would help.
