The temperature increase has been at a plateau for over 1 million years and life has had time to adapt to the new current conditions. Grasses spread further into areas that were once desert, as did a few other plants that evolved improved drought tolerance, binding the soil and retaining water on flood plains which are soaked rarely, but thoroughly. The equator is still barren in the lowlands but the mountains hold established ecosystems that include insects but lack vertebrates due to geographical isolation of these "islands" of habitat within the mountains.
Most notably, the Western and Eastern halves of Catland have separated. A narrow channel of sea sits between them, isolating populations from each half. Rafting events and crossings by swimming are feasible for some animals, but it's rare enough that separated East and West populations quickly diverged into their own unique variants.
