How many cats are in one Clan?
The average number of cats in a Clan is estimated to be around 30-40 members/cats, with each Clan typically having 3-7 kits. The size of a Clan can vary, ranging from a small Clan with few servants and adoptions to a larger, wealthier Clan with a population in the lower hundreds.

To better understand the dynamics of a Clan, it’s essential to explore various aspects of their social hierarchy, relationships, and interactions.
Clan Size and Population Growth
The population growth of a Clan can be attributed to exponential growth, with multiple generations having children at the same time, resulting in a significant increase in the number of cats over time.
