Ok... let's see what you think of this for starters.<br/><br/>Being not self sufficient without proper training and care, all cat-people that is not owned by someone is taken to a special shelter/orphanage after he/she detaches from his/her mother. The owner of either parent of the cub has one and only one opportunity to claim property of the newborn when he/she sees the light for the first time, otherwise it is bye-bye.<br/><br/>This is also a reason for which breeding control is a bit strict on cat persons. It is not like that the race is not allowed to reproduce... only, a cat person is a big economic burden and the main attempt is to take this under control.<br/><br/>An owner of a catgirl is due to treat her with care and take responsibility of her. He is responsible for feeding her and mantain her as healthy as possible. Also he is responsible for having her mantain a decent behaviour. The owner must not treat her badly or neglect her... transgressors are fined and deprived of their catgirl who returns to the shelter.<br/><br/>The shelter/orphanage staff have the responsibility to keep an eye on a catgirl after she finds an owner. They come to visit and controll that everything is well once a month during the first two years, then things start to relax a bit (less visits and more informal). The staff knows the catgirl quite well and usually can tell if she is well treated or not.<br/><br/>Those who are able to afford to mantain a catgirl are usually either quite rich or quite driven people since getting one of them is akin to adopting a child... it is not an idle task.<br/><br/>Tomorrow I will give you some more elaboration.
