IMO a cat and wolf are the least creative animals to base a Faunus (any human-animal hybrid) on mainly because they're so common. It's okay to pick either one to base a Faunus on, nobody's telling you it's not allowed nor is it bad, though it's much more creative to branch out and choose something other than the norm (for example two of my Faunus characters are a horse and a chipmunk).

Also not all other animals are unattractive nor does your OC have to be (Faunus are pretty much 95% human with small animal traits shown, for now anyway).
