- The kzin were initially introduced in Niven's story "The Warriors" (originally in Worlds of If, 1966) and "The Soft Weapon," (1967), both collected in Neutron Star (1968). A Kzin character, Speaker-to-Animals, subsequently played a major role in Niven's Hugo and Nebula award-winning Ringworld (1970), giving considerably more background of the Kzinti and their interactions with human civilizations. Following this, Niven gave permission to several friends to write stories taking place in the time following "The Warriors" but before "The Soft Weapon;" these stories (including a handful by Niven) were collected in a number of volumes of The Man-Kzin Wars, which eventually reached twelve volumes, the first published June 1988.

- Kzinti evolved from a plains hunting felid on a slightly colder, drier planet than Earth. The Kzin word for their home planet translates as Homeworld. The world is often known as Kzinhome by the Kzinti themselves. The Kzin home world is the third planet orbiting the star 61 Ursae Majoris. The Kzin civilization was at a roughly 20th-century technological level when an alien race called the Jotoki landed and made stealthy First Contact with a tribe of primitive hunter/gatherer Kzinti. The Jotoki were interstellar merchants looking for a species they could use as mercenaries.

| - The Kzinti (singular Kzin) are a very warlike and bloodthirsty race of felinoid aliens with whom humans fight several brutal interstellar wars. Kzinti tactics are somewhat cat-like in nature, 'Scream and leap' being the primary mode of attack.
- Kzinti evolved from a plains hunting felid on a slightly colder, drier planet than Earth. The Kzin word for their home planet translates as Homeworld. The world is often known as Kzinhome by the Kzinti themselves. The Kzin home world is the third planet orbiting the star 61 Ursae Majoris. The Kzin civilization was at a roughly 20th-century technological level when an alien race called the Jotoki landed and made stealthy First Contact with a tribe of primitive hunter/gatherer Kzinti. The Jotoki were interstellar merchants looking for a species they could use as mercenaries. Once the Jotoki had taught the Kzinti how to use high-technology weapons and other devices including spacecraft, the Kzin rebelled and made their former employers/masters into slaves, as well as the occasional meal. The crest of the Riit (Royal) family appears to be a bite mark, but is in fact a dentate leaf, with the words "From mercenary to master." written around it in Kzinti script.
- The kzin were initially introduced in Niven's story "The Warriors" (originally in Worlds of If, 1966) and "The Soft Weapon," (1967), both collected in Neutron Star (1968). A Kzin character, Speaker-to-Animals, subsequently played a major role in Niven's Hugo and Nebula award-winning Ringworld (1970), giving considerably more background of the Kzinti and their interactions with human civilizations.

- In the late 21st century, the Kzinti fought a series of four wars with humankind, and lost them all. Under the Treaty of Sirius, they were forbidden all weapons except police vessels and related equipment. Nevertheless, some Kzinti illegally possessed phasers and sought other armaments. In 2269, two Slaver stasis boxes were discovered by archaeologists on Kzin. One was turned over to Starfleet, and the other was kept by the Kzinti, but found to be empty. With the secret support of their government, a group of Kzinti privateers led by Chuft-Captain of the ostensibly stolen police ship Traitor's Claw undertook a mission to reacquire the unopened box and gain control of a powerful Slaver weapon hoped to be inside. This weapon self-destructed and killed the privateers before it could be returned to Kzin. (TAS: "The Slaver Weapon") The location of Kzin in the Milky Way Galaxy was labeled on a star chart in Captain James T. Kirk's quarters aboard the USS Enterprise-A in 2293 and at Starfleet Headquarters in 2364. (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country; TNG: "Conspiracy" ) In Larry Niven's Known Space Universe, the central star of the Kzinti's homeworld was identified as 61 Ursae Majoris.
