Caitian Philosophy

Never kill anything unless you have no choice.
Help strangers, but never let them know too much about you.
Strength comes from unity; the pride is stronger than a lone predator.
Know your prey's weakness but do it no harm.
Loyalty is its own reward.
Offer to assistance wounded prey, do not take advantage of them.
All life has the right to exist by virtue of existing.
Nature is cruel, that dose not mean that we have to be.
Always take an enemy alive if you can.
Sadism is never acceptable, no creature is a trophy.
Only act as a predator out of necessity, never by desire.
There is nothing more precious than life.
You are worth no more or no less than your prey.
Traditions that cause suffering and death are not worth preservation.
It is always a good idea to have someone watching your tail.
Open aggression is always your last resort.
The mind is more powerful than the stomach.
Be calm, but make sure that prey has a healthy fear of you.
Let others know that you can be trusted, never betray that trust.
Replicated meat is just as good as the real thing.

Do what you must to survive, but remember that you are not the center of the universe.
Be very tolerant of other species, but never compromise your ideals.
Be suspicious of strangers, but never openly.
Those who say that "life is not fair" are those who are not trying hard enough.
Use logic and reason, but most importantly; compassion.
Keep your claws sharp, just in case you need them.
Anyone that thinks themselves "separate" from nature is ignorant.
Always make sure that other species know that you are a carnivore before they invite you to dinner.
Never judge a species by their eating habits.
If you must kill; always do so as quickly and humanely as possible.
Always judge a species by how they treat other life forms.
Sometimes showing your teeth can prevent unnecessary violence.
Never fight anything that stands no chance against you.
The best part of any hunt is out-thinking your prey, but you never need to harm them.

Above all else, strive to reduce your negative impact on other life forms.
