Sometimes even requiring that a felinae be killed and buried (not burned) so that his soul is tethered to the place until the body rots away to nothing.
The souls of the felinae are tied to their earthly bodies by a link that cannot be broken.
Being dubbed a scatterling means the felinae has no further ties to that tribe – but a scatterling of one tribe may join another tribe may mate and may produce kits.

The family of cats is divided up into three sub-families: Cheetahs (Achinonychinae), smaller cats (Felinae), including the puma (cougar) and large cats (Pantherinae).
All cats have a supple, muscular body, that is very suited to their predatory lifestyle.
The 'thumb' claw is higher than the others on the inside of the leg also called the dew claw.
Die Felinae wurden in die drei Abstammungslinien der Wildkatzen-Gruppe, der Ozelot-Gruppe und der GroÃkatzen-Gruppe aufgebrochen, wobei letztere eine Ãberleitung zu den Pantherinae sein sollte.
Die Felinae besteht nur noch aus den Gattungen Felis und Otocolobus, und der gesamte Rest der Katzen wird den Pantherinae zugeschlagen.
Nebelparder, Serval und Rostkatze gehören auch zu den Pantherinae, ihre weitere Zugehörigkeit ist aber unklar, und sie lassen sich vorerst keiner der sechs Linien zuordnen.

thinking places the 36 species of wild cat family - Felidae - into three basic groups or sub-families - Felinae, Pantherinae and Acinonychinae, with its sole member Acinonyx jubatus - the Cheetah.
Within the sub-families Felinae and Pantherinae the species are split into various sub classifications or genera - a total of 13 genera in the Felinae sub-family and 4 in the Pantherinae sub-family, whilst the sub-family Acinonychinae, as already mentioned has one genus.
The various species can also be split into sub-species dependant on various criteria.

The scientific names must be Latin or Latinized forms.
The name of a family is to be formed by adding the ending idae, the name of the sub-family by adding the ending mae to,the root of the name of the genus from which it is derived, as lelidae and Felinae from Felis.
When a generic name is changed there must be a corresponding change in the name of the family or sub-family derived from it.

Large cats traditionally were separated from the Felinae based on their ability to roar (suspension of the hyoid aparatus for greater vibration).
Social markings probably play important role in spacing of individuals.
f) Neofelis nebulosa (Clouded leopard) - Neofelis is here included with the large cats even though it is somewhat intermediate between Felinae and Pantherinae.

Have you encountered a cougar not on the list?
The cougar comes in many forms (as will be discussed below), but each stems from the Felinae Generalus, the older woman, typically early thirties to mid-forties, who has abandoned traditional rules of romantic engagement and taken as her mission the seduction of as many game young men as she can possibly handle.
She comes from all over the world, in all shapes, sizes, and colors, and she follows without question the Cougar Rules.
