What do you think is the qualification for a Thunderian catoid to become a Thundercat?
Chris here…
I would imagine the “qualification”, such as it is, would be bloodline - note how the ThunderCats are regarded and referred to as “nobles” in certain episodes of the series, and what a big deal Lynx-O, Bengali and Pumyra find it being annointed as ThunderCats at the end of “ThunderCats Ho!” part 5. 
Take care…
Big rippling muscles (or an hourglass figure for the ladies), an unfledling love of spandex, and a Daddy that knows the right people. Oh, and a really cool weapon that does whatever you want it to do (grow/shrink/shoot things out of it)!

LOL, I think Celesta’s asking how a regular Thunderian could theoretically attain the mantle of “ThinderCat” in the context of the TCats universe - but, I like your explanation too! 
Take care…
Prove they understand the meaning of Justice, Truth, Honour and Loyalty. All of which Lynx-o, Bengali and Pumyra portrayed in Thundercats Ho.
and isn’t that what Lion-o had to prove during his annointment trials. Basically they have to show that they are capable of carrying the title of Thundercat.
If a Thunderian can live with receiving a red symbol onto his/her attire, and handle the constant cries of help from a cub in a grown Thunderian’s body, then you’re qualified to become a Thundercat.
I would have to agree with Chris on this one. I’ve always seen it as a bloodline thing.
couldnt have said it better so im glad blackiecats did it
If one is to believe the movie treatment that is posted over at Eye of Thundera.net, it is a purely genetic thing. It states that the Thundercats are in fact a hybrid line descending from human-Thunderian interbreeding that occured millenia ago. It would explain why other Thunderians (non- Thundercats) had completely feline heads, while the Thundercats were more human-like. It also serves to explain hoy the ship’s computer knows Earth’s location and the fact that it is inhabitable for Thunderians (although very advanced sensors could also explain that)
I don’t see how the “movie” treatment explains how some Thunderians “had completely feline heads, while the Thundercats were more human-like.”
From what I gathered watching “The Touch of Amortus,” the ones with “completely feline heads” were ancestors of the modern Thunderians. I can see a possibility of some modern Thunderians having more feline features due to a latent gene, but not because they were born to be only a commoner.
If genes had anything to do with being Thundercats, how is it Lynx-O, Ben-Gali and Pumyra looked more human before their anointment?
probably because they were common looking just like the rest of the rest of the thunderians when they r not tcats
Howdy
