But the real reason you'd take them is for the Catfolk Pounce feat. You can pounce on a flat-footed foe, and with the Dex bonus and your first Warblade bonus feat probably being improved initiative, going first could happen more often than you'd think. It's not bad for Dex focused Warblades, although Swordsages probably benefit more.

You also might want to consider linking to some of the ToB homebrew on these boards. Some DM's won't let it in, but others will, and it doesn't hurt to mention it.
Catfolk Pounce is absolutely not worth taking both +1 LA and a feat for though. It's even more conditional than regular pounce. The melee classes that least benefit from Catfolk Pounce are the martial adepts anyway, and the other catfolk traits are meager benefits that you don't need to use up your race selection to get.
