Werepanther? A cat turning into a cat...
There are werelions in lore, but they're found in the southern parts of Tamriel. It's possible that a TES game set in Elsweyr will have this kind of lycanthropy, although I wouldn't count on it.
The thing is, you don't contract general lycanthropy, but a specific type of it - if you're bitten by a werewolf, you become a werewolf, end of story. You don't suddenly turn into another animal just because you're of a different race. To become a werelion, you'd have to contract the disease from a werelion, and as far as I know they don't live in Skyrim.
