over the course of playing this game, I've seen people aliens with tails of the cait type. How can I make this happen or is this feature removed from game?
This should no longer be possible. It was the result of some code exploit with the tailor UI which has been fixed years ago. Users who saved their characters back then can still use them, though. That is how you are still seeing some characters that use those usually invalid parts on alien characters.

I think it's time Cryptic allows` one to use those parts if you unlocked the race. I have caitians unlocked, don't really care for the looks of the head. I would love to use the alien gen to get the head shape, then add the ears tail and fur
