	The leaders of cat holds are typically elected, following a trial of charisma and cunning, and the leaders of other cat-lead organizations tend to be selected for similar reasons. A cat's appearance, strength of character, wit, and force of personality are often considered representative of their value and ability; as such, leaders are expected to have all of these traits. During a selection process whereby a leader is to be chosen from a pool of qualified cats, there is typically an organized event featuring a combination of pageantry and presentation, oration, and debate among the candidates, comparatively - and often competitively - showcasing their charisma and mental acuity. If no adequate candidate is deemed fit, then the entire process is repeated until one is found. This process tends to be quite lengthy - often lasting for months at a time, and with the election process being conducted every 13 moon cycles (about two years). Election as a leader over others is a significant honor for an individual, and gives a great boon to the position of their family within their society.

	Cats are a very noble, and self obsessed race. This attitude is carried by most cats on an individual level, as well as in the structure and nature of their governments, organizations, family structures, and the execution of their political relations. Cat nations can be found widely spread over most areas, with each hold using a distinctive color pattern to vainly distinguish itself from neighboring holds. These color schemes are not merely a pretty selection of colors, but rather, their design and coloration symbolically represent the characteristics and values held by the cats who live under that banner, and it serves as a pledge for, broadly, how they will interact with their neighbors, and what they will do to sustain the nobility of the feline race.

	Cats are a very noble and self obsessed race.

These colour schemes are not merely a pretty selection of colors, but rather, they symbolically represent the characteristics and values held by the cats who live under that banner, and it serves as a pledge for how they will interact with their neighbors, and what they will do to sustain the nobility of the feline race.

	The leaders of these holds are elected though a trial of appeal and cunning. As a cats vanity occupies such a large portion of their life it is only expected their leader would be the most stunning, well presented and beautiful of them all. This stunning individual is chosen from the presented through a series of trials including the presentation of their best wares and the cat attending a civil conversation with the "judges" to determine his or hers social skills. Once a cat is selected passing through both the presentation and social selection they are moved to the next stage of the selection process analysing their sharpness of mind. This process is conducted through a series of riddles which are determined by the rest of the hold determining for sure whether this individual is the sharpest of them all, thus deeming him fit for the leader position. If the suitor is not deemed fit then the entire process is repeated until one is found. As you can see the entire process is very long often lasting for months at a time, and with the election process being conducted every 13 moons (two years) making the election of a leader a very large portion of a cats life, possibly the cause of their profound vanity.

This character trait affects their traditional fighting style, making them inclined towards armed combat, specifically preferring the use of fencing swords and tapered knives. This greatly improves their medium to close ranged combat effectiveness over unarmed opponents, but places them at a great disadvantage when without armament, as they are so reliant upon it. Cats' traditional fighting style with the sword would be very similar to that of a fencer or trained swordsman, preferring skill and precision in the use of their weapons, over brute strength.
