From what I know of Umathela from writing Anaxial's Roster all those
years ago, there wouldn't be native cats in Umathela (although its
possible they could have been imported, of course), although you could
have nimravids - Hoplophoneus, Dinictis, that sort of thing. Not
necessarily much use for herding, admittedly, unless you could
mythically link them with alynxes somehow. Hyaeonodons would be around,
maybe ground sloths at a stretch.
