So, I suckered you in: there are three forms of my cat people, with three sets of stats, and I'm wondering about all of them. Feel free to PEACH just one.
The male Lihat is a brutish creature, relying on raw strength to solve most problems. He is not as intelligent as the female, but has a cunning intuition.
Male Lihat
Monstrous Humanoid
SZ Medium
Ht: 4'9" +2d12 + Str bonus in inches
Wt: 100 lbs base + 2d8 x number of inches over 4'9"

3d8 hp

6 x (2 + Int bonus) skillpoints (Class skills: Listen, Spot, Hide, Move Silently, Climb, Jump, Wild Empathy, Sense Motive, Intimidate, Search, Survival)
+3 base attack bonus
Ref +3
Fort +3
Will +1
Natural Armor: +2 AC
Racial skill bonuses: Listen, Spot, Hide, Move Silently, Survival (when tracking by scent): +2 Climb, Jump: +4
Keen Senses: Male Lihats can see four times as far as humans in lowlight conditions. They treat all Listen checks as being at half the distance they actually are.
Speed: 40 ft.
Water Aversion: Male Lihats are seized with a deep-seated racial panic when immersed in water, taking a -15 penalty to all swim checks. They can never take ten when swimming, no matter what the circumstances.
Track as a bonus feat.
Cat affinity: Any time a male Lihat attempts Wild Empathy check on a natural feline creature, he gains a +6 circumstance bonus.
Natural Weapons: Claws 1d4 (primary) Bite 1d3 (Secondary)
Proficiency with all simple weapons.
Favored Class: Ranger (with a special restriction). Male Lihats who multi-class may ignore their Ranger levels when determining xp penalties, as long as they have Giants as a favored enemy.
Level adjustment +4
The female Lihat is mentally comparable to humans, and look more like them than the males. They boast psionic powers, while the males and juveniles do not.

Keen Senses: Female Lihats can see four times as far as humans in low-light conditions. They treat all Listen checks as being at half the distance they actually are.
Speed: 30 ft.
Water Aversion: Female Lihats are seized with a deep-seated racial panic when immersed in water, taking a -10 penalty to all swim checks. They can never take ten when swimming, no matter what the circumstances.
Cat affinity: Any time a female Lihat attempts Wild Empathy check on a natural feline creature, she gains a +8 circumstance bonus.
+2 Circumstance bonus on Sense Motive and Diplomacy checks when used on male Lihats.
Natural Weapons: 2 Claws 1d3
Psi-like abilities: Concussion Blast at will. This may only be used to deal non-lethal damage. When manifesting this Psi-like ability, the female Lihat does not draw from her power point total; instead, she deals one point of non-lethal damage to herself in place of any power points she would have used to manifest or augment the power. The maximum amount she may spend on this power is the number of hitpoints she received from her Monstrous Humanoid HD (typically, 11 hp). The maximum amount she may spend on this power is her hitpoint total (note that they are allowed to go into the negative and knock themselves out if it seems like a good idea). Catfall at will. 3/day: Painful Strike. 1/day: Burst, Metaphysical Claw. Manifester level equals one half HD, rounded down.
Additionally, Female Lihats gain more uses of their Psi-like abilities as they progress in levels, and a new ability at 5th level.
3rd level: 5/day: Painful Strike.
4th Level: 2/day: Burst, Metaphysical Claw.
5th Level: 1/day: Duodimensional Claw.
A female Lihat gains the Feat Craft Psionic Arms and Armor as a bonus feat upon reaching 5th level in a Psionic manifesting class.
Naturally Psionic: Female Lihats gain 1 bonus power point at first level. This does not grant them the ability to manifest psionic powers unless they gain that ability from another source, such as levels in a psionic class.
Favored Class: Psychic Warrior.
Proficiency with all simple weapons.
Level Adjustment +4
The juveniles of the Lihatend race are called 'Tendari' and are animalistic, living in the wild until they mature.

Tendari use their Dexterity modifier instead of their Strength on Climb checks.
Keen Senses: Tendari can see four times as far as humans in lowlight conditions. They treat all Listen checks as being at half the distance they actually are.
Speed: 30 ft or 50 ft in a gallop (meaning hands are free to aid in movement)
Water Aversion: Tendari are seized with a deep-seated racial panic when immersed in water, taking a -15 penalty to all swim checks. They can never take ten when swimming, no matter what the circumstances.
Cat affinity: Any time a Tendari attempts Wild Empathy check on a natural feline creature, he gains a +6 circumstance bonus.
Cat's Landing: Tendari treat all falls as 10 ft less if their hands are free (they would typically drop any items held). This stacks with the use of the Jump or Tumble skill to lessen the height of a fall, if appropriate.
Natural Weapons: Claws 1d2 (Primary), Bite 1d2 (Secondary)
Special Attacks:
Rend 1d4+2: If both claws hit the same target, a Tendari may rend for an additional 1d4+2 damage.
Rake: A Tendari can make two claw attacks while grappling, without the usual -4 penalty for using natural weapons in a grapple, at its highest base attack bonus.
Pounce is available as a feat to Tendari. It has no prerequisites. It confers the ability to make a full attack after a charge, including two Rake attacks.
Favored Class: Rogue
Level Adjustment: +2
Mostly, I don't intend to change their abilities and stats, but I do wonder if their LAs are reasonable.
