This is more than "a few mistakes".  This is several dozen examples indicating that his trope has value in its own right.  We already have multiple genus (using the term loosely) specific subtropes, such as...

PigMan
LizardFolk
FishPeople
TheReptilians
SnakePeople
PeacockGirl
{{Cthulhumanoid}}
OurMermaidsAreDifferent

Futhermore, the fact that many other tropes have previously incorrectly listed CatGirl as the catchall for cat people indicates that there is a demand for a cat specific page.  As are the three hats I've gotten so so far.  Also, the creating of clearly cat-oriented trope is more likely to attract the right kind of examples and decrease shoehorning under the one clearly named cat person example than something like "Intelligent Gerbils" which on the surface looks like something about rodents.  There were far, far more incorrect uses of CatGirl  (before I cut them all) than there were correct uses on the other tropes for this.  The existence of CatGirl as a SubTrope for LittleBitBeastly also provides additional precedent for this.
