Thinking about it,  cat faunus should have tails. I mean, in cats (and felines in general), the tail serves as a sort of helm that allows them to maintain equilibrium and helps to make closed turns when running. I know the AMA confirms Blake doesn't have a tail, but what if she originally had one but the White Fang had her cut it off to look more human for their criminal operations? You might argue she retained her cat ears and hid them under the bow, but the ears likely give her enhanced hearing. Also, if cat faunus are supposed to have tails, the fact her clothes clearly show she doesn't have one would prevent people from bothering to check for her bow. Alternatively, maybe she doesn't have one cause she isn't a full faunus? Maybe human-faunus hybrids (if interbreeding is possible at all) have only some faunus traits and not all of them.
