All small wildcats and domestic cats that can crossbreed occur among the Nunda. This is a sort of catch-all tribe, and any Bastet not claimed by a particular tribe can usually find a home among the Nunda. Some family lines among the Nunda pride themselves on their purity: perhaps they all descend from African Golden Cats; or possibly they all are related to the New World spotted cats, like the margay and the ocelot. In any case, the Nunda consist of many body types, coat markings, sizes, personalities, and subcultures. The word "Nunda" comes from the Swahili for "half-wild domestic cat". Anything goes in terms of Nunda social groups, but they tend to be more social than not. There are some remarkably large Colonies of Nunda and their Kin that are almost entirely communal. Other groupings are tiny and close-knit. Yet other Nunda are solitary. The Nunda tend to adapt most easily of all the Bastet to new situations, particularly those involving other shifters, mages, et cetera.
