    I thought about this for a moment or two. What you are describing is quick reactions, while Quill is emphasizing the quickness and feeling. This is not a power (enhanced senses does not include reflex/speed), nor mutation.

    Personally, I’m not even going to call it a mutation. Cat-like reflexes are not based off of cats themselves, but are instead used as a term to describe fast reactions. Similiar to someone calling another person a ‘snake’ because of their mischievous and backstabbing behavior. (Large = bear-like, bird = high dreamer, social butterfly  = eccentric, etc.) This person is not a snake, nor are they a cat. They are being compared to these animals because of the physical traits they have in common. Simply, cat-like reflexes (not abnormal, as super speed is not a power or mutations) means they are quick to react.

    Hence this would be a trait to your character. Your character would be described as being quick to react to pressing situations or the littlest things, such as dropping a piece of prey and managing to catch it in their palm without another thought. If you are making a biography for your character, adding a physical traits section next to personality or body specifications would be very helpful for your readers.
