Okay so i was reading through the additional resources page for pathfinder society, and i saw that nothing from the catfolk entry in the advance races guide is legal, however Tengu and kitsune are... and i'm wondering why that is.
I can understand some of the alternate traits being illegal, like scent in place of low-light vision, but the vanilla version of the class seems to me to be balanced for the most part.
So my question is, are vanilla catfolk legal, and if not, is there any reason why when there are more breakable races that are legal?

To be clear, tengu are available for anyone to play (with the appropriate rule book), but to play a kitsune, you need a race boon earnt/won at a convention.

Not yet.
and if not, is there any reason why
Tengu and kitsune became available in season 3, both via race boons initially, to tie in with the Dragon Empires theme that Paizo had that year. The race boons available to conventions are refreshed periodically; I imagine that catfolk will enter circulation at some point.
It's worth having a look at this older thread on this topic:
Catfolk - PFS legal?
