This is an older story. There are cat clans, but the language is much different. Also, the author more closely relates the belief in ancestors to the story.
Clans:
Meeting Wall:
Located near a small town. Cats in this clan live closely with humans, but they don't entirely trust them.
First-walkers:
Descendants of Lord Tangaloor Firefoot. The First-walkers are fierce and independent, mainly keeping to themselves. They resent the intrusion of M'an in their world.
Court of Harar:
The capital of the cat world. Here live Mirimisor Sunback and her prince regent, Fencewalker.
Language:
a few quick notes.
C is always said as "S". Thus, Meerclar Allmother.
The compass points are all named:
U'ea: "towards cold"; north
Va'an: "young sun"; east
E'a: west.
Vez'an: south
On Naming:
All cats have three names. The face name is for everyday. The heart name is shared only with mates, siblings and close friends. The tail name is a cat's secret name; it is never shared.
