The Cat's Way is a spirit world for cats that I've been working on for 10+ years. It's a direct result of wild cats becoming cushy with humans when they began to settle and farm. Over time it built its own pantheon, with legendary cats bringing their individual spice to the table. I think the Way is a pocket dimension Su won after watching humans gamble and deciding to try his hand at it. He had partners in crime. After he acquired it, other cats got a similar idea to go out and 'obtain' abilities to make the pocket world better. As a unit they declared it a place for cats (that is smack dab in the middle of a bunch of other worlds). Su became their god, and the other cats became progenitors for new lineages/houses (Pea, Lentil, Flax, etc). They watched people, learned and built relationships with them. Over time they became apart from their wild relatives. They become intrinsically tied to humans and agriculture. Some things about their world can't even happen without people involved (Winking Cats). Their new world shares borders with Faerie, who they also built relationships with. They probably call their home The Fields, after Su's fields, where domestic cat spirits are born before they're sent out into the waking world to be born for real.
