Well at least legit issue, but then they didn't have harems...or. at least not ones that would yield legit heirs...

 Consider how
 many males in the British Royal family have died without
 issue.

 . 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.
