. An Aslan female can
 potentially birth 12 kittens per year, and an Aslan male is
 likely to maintain two-four breeding age females while
 capable of reproduction. That is a lot of mouths to feed,
 who it seems are not as omnivorous as Humanity.

That's why I found it so interesting, when, in SJG's timeline, the Imperial Aslan who was a Sector Duke out in the SolRim died w/o 'issue'. Or at least any legit heirs. That seemed to me to be almost impossibly improbable. However, it did allow for the question of succession to be explored thru SJG's TNS dispatches.
