Where do catfolk fit into golarion? where do they come from, where do they often live?
Southern Garund and jungle-y areas of Tian Xia. Per James Jacobs statements and the Tian Xia book.
Are they common enough to be recognized by most folks or are they seen as exotic?
Depends on where you are. Most places in the Inner Sea? Very exotic.

They'd be a lot less weird in the Shackles than most places given that the Shackles are much closer to the Southern Garund ones than most places in the Inner Sea and are a very cosmopolitan area, race-wise.
And you're very welcome. :)

I don't know what the official stance for Golarion is but I broke them up into two sub-cultures for my version. The Cat headed ones seen in the Race guide come from the south particularly around Osirion and Katepesh and are mostly tribal. The more human looking ones seen in the beastiary are northern Catfolk and are more like gypsies.

Judging by a lot of the catfolk builds I have seen, the entire race has been adopted by half orcs and breed for larger teeth.
It's a quick and easy way to get a full set of natural attacks. Something like this is a clear indication that a bite attack should probably have been part of the race from the beginning.

If you want to change things up a bit they can be sabertooth tiger riding samurai from the invisible moon.
Or Small-size samurai catfolk native to sixteenth-century Japan who somehow got to Golarion by knowing the right bus routes, and are ready to kill every big bad in the setting to avenge the murder of their lord.

There is only one bus for a world-hopping catfolk to take, the Cat-bus!
