Yep, it's cat.
Are cat people considered canon in the Star Trek universe?
Yep! There have been cat people serving on Starfleet vessels since the animated series, in TOS era.

They even show up in Star Trek Into Darkness as furless cat girls that the writer claims are the same species even though they're clearly not. Memory Alpha dutifully lists them on the Unnamed Caitian page, but amusingly doesn't actually call them Caitians explicitly.
To be fair, the text never refers to them as Caitians, it's just the writer saying it in an interview.
Yes. Caitians have appeared in ST:TAS, ST:TMP, Lower Decks, and Prodigy. Kzinti, who are also cat-like, have appeared in TAS and Lower Decks.
Wow, I need to go eat something. I was just about to ask "when have we seen a Caitian in Lower Decks?"
