    [off topic]

    It’s my personal belief that the Klingons went from looking like they did in TOS to looking like they did in TNG because of the tribbles.

          KURTZMAN looked at LOTR, and decided to make them look uruk hai. when too much criticism for season 1 because of cloaking and klingons, he decided to do a 2nd season(that disregards the klingons in s1) , and so on with each season. i think the cloaking is what irked the fans the most, they wernt suppose to have it til they encounter the romulans.

        They are the Klingon equivalent to the stupid mutant humans featured in “The Hills Have Eyes” movies.

        its non-canon. many people believe std to be non-canon, or “kelvin timeline bs”.

        at least enterprise gave a reason why the TOS looked like humans.

    I think the more realistic interactions would be way funnier than Klingons having a soft spot for it.

    For example, you know the Klingon that lost his eye lost it in an actual fight with the cat when it did the whole wait and ambush thing and swiped at him in passing, just for the Klingon to jump back and yell something about fighting your enemies honorably… Then the cat pounces his face because it’d be one hell of a traumatized cat with a hair trigger when Klongons start yelling.

    They never kill the cat because they need it, and after that incident, they respect it.

      It fears nothing, not even the mighty Klingon! I have seen it survive 9 deaths! Do not cross the black ones path!

    The Navy did use to routinely have cats aboard ship and in their dockyards to control the rat population.

    Cats are hardcore, to be sure. Impressive naval credentials, too. I could see Klingons continuing the tradition and honoring their fierce felines.
