The ONLY appearance of the Kzin in Star Trek is the animated episode
"The Soft Weapon" which is adapted from Niven's short story of the
same name (the Enterprise was originally a Puppeteer and a couple of
humans).  When FASA published their Star Trek RPG they included as
canon all the episodes, the movies, and most of the animateds, but
specifically excluded that episode, since Kzin, Slavers, Stasis Fields,
etc. open up too large a can of worms.  I totally agree with them
that Kzin belong in Known Space, NOT Star Trek.  Besides, the Kzin *have*
a homeworld, and their females aren't sentient - Farrendahl could hardly
be Kzin!  I hope she shows up again someday...
