Kat is a cyborg and has a very interesting anatomy. Most of his abilities are almost possible with technology available to humans.
Kat consumes vast amounts of food that no biological organs could ever handle. Also Kat consumes far more food than his biological body could ever require. An organic stomach would also have an extremely hard time managing acid that is capable of dissolving metal! Kat definitely has a mechanical stomach and, perhaps an organic stomach aswell. The mechanical stomach would only be used once there is more food than his organic body would require. The mechanical stomach would use the acid and would also likely use mechanically engineered enzymes and nanobots(in a similar way a car's catalytic converter works) to convert the energy stored in the food into usable energy for his implants. The energy gained would need to be stored in a kind of battery until needed. Kat could also eat metals and other NONorganic substances to provide material for his mechanical body. His acid would dissolve almost anything he ingested allowing nanobots and enzymes to use the material to repair and maintain his implants.
Kat would have to have a laser generating implant within his body. The generator would efficiently produce a red laser beam that would travel down fiberoptic cables. Kat can also fire green beams that behave more like plasma than lasers. (Plasma is a forth state of matter.) In "Strange Kat on a Train" he fires the green beam into a mirror and it does not reflect. Fiber optic cables would not transport plasma, but Kat could have advanced carbon nano tubes implanted to transport the plasma to his claws. The tubes would take up almost no space and be very hard to detect on an X-ray. There would also be a mechanism in his claw that he could activate in order stop the laser from exiting his claw and would thus heat his claw up to the point of being red(or perhaps green) hot.
Kat has non biological claws. They are made of an extremely hard and strong metal alloy. The alloy would have to be an excellent conductor; his claws heat up and cool down very quickly claws are sharp enough for him to be able to walk on walls and on the ceiling. Kat is also capable of turning his claws into a type of circular saw. Since it is near impossible for an organism to grow a metal claw, Kat must have nanobots to build and maintain his claws at a microscopic level.
Kat also has a X-ray type lease hidden in the black of his left eye. The fact that his eyes are so large and black means that a large amount of light enters his eyes and is absorbed. Therefore he will have absolutely brilliant vision in the dark(Unless the implant in his eye/s has damaged/destroyed/removed many of his rods and cones(or the alien equivalent at least))and even better in the light. Also since Kat does not have any pupils, he must have either, internal lenses, or a protective covering on each individual light sensitive cell. Either way, his eyes will be protected from bright light. He would also need a way of focusing the light. Again, internal lenses or individual coverings could help focus the light. His brain may even focus a blurred image in the same way our brains flip what we see to make it the right way up.
Kat has a microchip implanted on each of his two brains, they are most likely used to boost his intelligence and allow him to be more coordinated. Mankind has not yet found a way to directly connect a nervous system to a electronic circuit. Assuming his implants work on an electronic circuit and that the Catnipians have not discovered a means of performing this feet, an organism can control a cybernetic implant with technology that is available to humans! There are prosthetic limbs that sense muscle twitches, where the appendage used to be, and translates them into movement. Kat would have to have small muscles, whose only purpose is to control his cybernetics, implanted in an inconspicuous area. Kat would also need his bones (or whatever he has to support his body) reinforced by a strong lightweight material. He would also have to have some way of increasing his strength. One way would be to have a motor that pulls pairs of strong lightweight cables connected to his reinforced bones(or whatever he has) in the same manner muscles move limbs by contracting. Or, he could have hydraulic pistons that would push rather than pull. He could use more carbon nano tubes to contain a small amount of fluid under high pressure for the pistons.
Kat is perfectly suited to a hot and sunny environment. His large ears allow him to cool down significantly. His purple/violet colour suggests that his skin reflects light on that end of the spectrum. Therefore it is likely that his skin would reflect UV-rays, this means he is far less likely to get sunburn and skin cancer.
If Kat is high up in the sky and needs to get down he simply stretches out his skin between his front and hind legs allowing him to glide safely to the ground. No parachute needed!
Kat has a very strong, flexible and extendible tail. His tail is longer than most people realise as he often keeps it curled up.
One of Kat's abilities that is completely impossible is the way he can mold and melt himself into ANY shape. He could bend and mold himself to a degree, but not to any shape that he sees fit.
(New!) I have recently found out that it is possible for an organism to incorporate metals into it's body. The Scaly-foot gastric, or Crysomallon squamiferum, is a deep sea snail which uses metals dissolved in the sea water to build its shell and protect its foot. This means that it is quite possible for Kat to be able to grow metal claws, internal circuits and heal any implants that may become damaged.
Please excuse any bad spelling and grammar. I did not set out to write a flawless piece of english literature! Please comment and tell me what you think. If there is anything that you agree/disagree with please let me know.
