Yes. There's a Ral Partha pack called (I think) "The Seductress". It
contains three figures:
One feline humanoid female -- 25mm tall, naked, tail wrapped aroud
herself.
One BIG Feline humanoid male, in space armor, carrying a rifle
Another BIG male, wearing pants and carrying a knife.
Both of the big guys have rat-like tails, and fan-shaped ears -- I am
almost certain that these figures are based on a Larry elmore cover for
one
of the Man-Kzin war books. But they are most certainly Kzinti. I'm not
sure 'bout the name of the pack, or the stock #, but if anyone cares
I'll
check the local store tomorrow -- they have at least four packs.
And for 15mm Moties, there's the "Trimote" figures that Laserburn
produced....
