Are you dead set on a felid *conjurer*? I'm sure it can be made to work, but felid apts make such good enchanters that any other playstyle is a bit of a challenge. TBH, even if I was trying to win FeCj specifically, I'd start building a hex-stabber from the beginning. Cj even has Dazzling Spray in the starter book.
Lair branches can be especially brutal without rPois with a low-HP race. Lots of stairdancing is involved, but you knew that already. It's just tedious.
The rest of the tactics you listed tell me you know what to do, but felids are especially RNG dependent because they can only wear rings and in some games they are just nowhere to be found. A lack of books can similarly gimp a felid.
