But, really, the Alpha/Beta/Omega distinctions -- vague as they are -- apply only to werewolves. We know some other creatures have Beta/Alpha distinctions, like the kanima, but that distinction is entirely different. Even though the kanima is a mutation of a werewolf.

And we don't know anything about werejaguars, really. Nothing at all. So this is totally coming from your imagination, which is cool and all, but if you're going to stand by it this wholeheartedly.... you really ought to have something from the show to back it up. And you don't.

Is it possible that Kate is an omega werejaguar? Sure. It's also possible Kate is the strongest werejaguar currently on the planet. We have no idea and no means of knowing. I'm not sure how those distinctions apply to werejaguars also, but we can't say "werewolves only". Malia was affected by Alpha roar which was what made her shift back into human form. Seeing that she's a werecoyote not a werewolf, the Alpha/Beta/Omega distinction appear to apply to them too.
