Tamaki: There’s a lot of cats in my house, so whenever I hear something vaguely naughty like jumping up on the counter or scratching furniture I just kind of smack something loudly or yell “Hey!” indiscriminately. 

Tamaki: So anyways last night I scared away a burglar because I thought I was hearing a cat

Isn’t it canon that the Uchiha mainly have the nineko summons? So like why did you choose Genma to also be able to summon the cats as well? Are we going to get Genma interacting with the Uchiha clan to learn more about the ninja cats??

The Uchiha didn’t have a canonical summoning contract with the ninneko. They left a large supply cache, possibly without Konoha’s knowledge, in the abandoned city Sora-ku, in the care of an old, human woman known as Nekobaa. She herself has several cats with her, including at least two whom Sasuke identifies as ninja cats, but she’s not an Uchiha herself, and it’s not clear she’s even a ninja. (Naruto Chapter 354 is where they first appear)

We decided on cats for Genma as a summons because we wanted to give him a summoning contract, and cats seemed like an interesting element to introduce to the group, as a counterpoint to Kakashi’s dogs, and just because we liked the idea, to be honest.

As for Genma interacting with the Uchiha... since it’s not clear Konoha even knows about the Uchiha cache in Sora-ku, there’s no reason the Uchiha having any association with ninneko would be on anyone’s radar.

Most importantly, though, we’re very much an AU, so your milage may vary considerably with respect to canon. If we think something is dumb (like the ninneko as they appear in canon) we have given ourselves carte-blanche to ignore it and write something better. So basically, for your purposes, pretend Chapter 354 never happened, and you’ll probably enjoy Genma’s cat-summoning storyline a lot more :D
