caitians are animals too - so are humans for that matter...in fact, any living thing that isn't a vegetable or mineral (though, as far as i know, there's no such thing as a living mineral outside fiction) is an animal

But since he was an idiot, he can be safely ignored.
It's not clear at all why the species of his roommate was relevant anyway. Of course his story was cut short, but it didn't really seem to get any more coherent, really.
Yeah it doesn't make sense why being a caitian hybrid would make a difference. Unless the species is renowned for its scientific prowess or something.
Even then it's questionable as scientific prowess is a learned trait not an inherent one, that said Conelly(sic) was a braggart and an Idiot so it's possible leaning on a stereotype in an effort to look better.

Yeah, probably this.
If
A) he hadn't been talking to Burnham and
B ) there were more known than just Spock
he might have referred to his roommate as 'part-Vulcan' to do just that (so, without making it too much seem a personal attack against Burnham or Spock rather than making himself look good).
how the hell did i miss that? i saw that episode...well, i guess there IS an official pronunciation, and it is indeed pronounced like haitian, not cay-tee-an - which doesn't mean it's the RIGHT pronunciation, just that it's official, like how everyone in STO pronounces j'ula's name jUH-oola and not joola...which is the correct pronunciation
as for connoly mentioning his roommate's species, given what they were doing at the time, it probably had something to do with the fact that, for whatever reason, sci-fi tends to portray felinoid species as being natural pilots or navigators or whatever...like having great movement coordination on the ground somehow translates to having it in the air or in zero-g as well

Guess I wasn't the only one wondering why no one remembered it then.
We can only really guess what the purpose of mentioning their species was. I'm more convinced that it has something to do with a perceived higher intelligence of the species, but there isn't really that much to base any explanation on to be fair.
He's just mentioning the species and then his story is about to get back to how awesome HE is and how he put them in their place.

Considering that the caitians were originally from the Klingon empire world of Ferasa and were forced to find a new home world after their cousins the ferasans started used a psychotropic flower to undergo a feral enhancement and started to attack them

Pike's Science officer named them.
Around 1:34.

Of maybe its because cats can fits and sits so we defer to their authority on spatial dynamics.

They are described as intelligent in STO. Of course, the only species described as dumb are the Pakleds so that may not mean that much either.
