Thanks to Google being garbage AI now, AI, and anime, the best I can suggest is Catwoman's transformation in the Batman: The Animated Series episode Tyger, Tyger.

Aha! Found it!

Personally, I'd call this a "Type 5," since she's more beast than human...she's even walking on all-fours. But I can see the argument for this being a Type 3.5, also.

Totally Spies has some examples of human face -> cat features. "Feline Dion" etc.

Huh. I never gave it any thought.

To me, the Rexfelis, the Cat Lord, was always the go-to.

But I guess if I had to get all catty ... I would go with my all time favorite.

Never mess with a cat in a smoking jacket. NEVER.

So something around 2 or between 2 and 3.

Image below is by a pathfinder illustrator I can't find the name of right now. I love her approach though. It avoids what are to me the typical furry pitfalls where they look too much like Rakshasa.

Players choice anywhere between a human with subtle catlike features to a cat with subtle human features (including for lion, tiger, etcetera).

So, I voted types 2, 3, 4, and 5.

Typically, between type 4 and type 5.

But, I grew up with this cartoon...

And D&D players who always wanted to play these guys from Isle of Dread

Mine range from type 3 to type 4. The archetypical picture of my tabaxi is the 1e Fiend Folio tabaxi pic.

No tabaxi per se, but I have a collective animal people called Bremyn. They are sort of Narnia style, so somewhere between 6 & 3.
