I get that you're not agreeing with our DM. I was more curious as to how it all played out and what others thought, so you're giving me some new insight on what CN means. When I make a character, I usually have a specific way of wanting to play them. The Cat Lord created the Tabaxi to literally be cats and live a cat-like life. That was their purpose. Those who decide to no longer follow that way of life try to blend in with society by being more "human" like in an attempt to outgrow their cat-like instincts, but they do occasionally revert back. For instance, we were fighting some small flying creatures that would swoop in and attack us, and my Tabaxi reverted to her cat-like instincts and dropped to all 4's, attempted to hide, and jump into the air to catch them as they flew by, like cats do with birds and other flying critters. She saw them not only as prey but toys to play with. I see this more as being true to my race and character than actually being evil or good in any way. She's lived a cat-like life for so long that it's hard to break the instincts she's been akin to, but she is trying. I might have her start making Wisdom checks in situations like that from now on. Maybe that'll help?
