Youth
These are the youth of the tribe, often aged from 10 months to 19 months. These are the rambunctious teens of the tribe. They are allowed out of the tribe cave, but must not leave without permission and an escort. At this age they are able to converse and tag along with the upper ranks that they would like to become.
Juveniles
These are the 0 - 10 month olds in the tribe, the kittens. These members must be watched over at all times. If a kitten is seen leaving camp, they will be punished and remain a kitten until they are able to move up in rank at 19 months.
Hissers
These are the scum, captive and disgraced in the tribe. They are not allowed to sleep in the cave with the tribe, and are often kept under guard [if they are a captive]. They are not permitted to join in on daily tribe life, and they rarely ever get enough nutrition in their systems. Most felines blessed with this rank debate become a rouge.
