I don't understand why most Star Trek fans hate this character? She's a wonderful concept and with today's CGI or even look what they do on the new Doctor Who series? This character should be in ST12 come 2012!!! Oh, well... a furrytrekkie's pipe dream...

That IS where the term "Slash" fiction came from, for the benefit of our younger viewers...

Most ST fans do not even think the animated series as canon...let alone someone of the furry likeness of M'Ress....
There's reasons for all this.
1) Roddenberry himself made a statement declaring ST:TaS to be non-canon.
2) Larry Niven (who was submitting store ideas to Roddenberry at the time) declared that he owned the idea of space-faring felines because he created the Kzin, and therefore the Caitians were a derivative work, and he should be paid a heavy licence be to allow their use. Thee was Drama and Butthurt, and in the enr, Gene stopped using catians all together, retoning them into non-existance.

The only complaints I ever heard about her was that she appeared too LITTLE in the animated series!
There used to be an erotic Star Trek fanzine called Future Wings, out of Canada. It was the only Star Trek fanzine (adult or otherwise) I have ever seen based on the animated series. And it had a LOT of cool stuff with M'ress and other alien characters. Num.

Yes, Roddenberry mostly tried to make the animated series "non-canon," but then he also tried to completely rewrite the concepts when he started TNG.
The biggest complaint I remember about M'Ress was the result of limited animation -- they tended to reuse Uhura drawings instead of making new M'Ress images, so she strayed rather often from her model sheets.

Actually, wasn't it industry practice (at Disney, MGM & Warner, to name a few) to wash and re-use the cells once the film had been shot and approved? Considering the number of cells used (24 per second gives 8640 cells for a six-minute cartoon, "shooting on one's"; half that many for "shooting on two's" for limited animation), it would have been prohibitively costly to not re-use them.
M'Ress was easily my first furry love. In fact I like Caitians so much that I made my own version of them for my stories. (See sample illo as drawn by Kacey Miyagami - http://www.chakatsden.com/chakat/Im.....ose-n-MLai.jpg ) And if Mr Niven thinks he can lay claim to them too, he can stick his head where the sun don't shine.
