You have to remember, the Na'vi evolved on a different world, so they're not going to compare directly to any earth animal, cat, human or otherwise.

We're taking a step out of the looking glass in this thread. They were created by JC, and they share a few distinct features with cats.

Many features share characteristics to those of cats, but the noses, IMO, are at least visually identical.
