Custodianship and Continuity
These seven cats are identified as the founding family in Rabbi Mikhail Salita’s account of the House. Their titles are cultural and ceremonial. Salita serves as Royal Custodian, with preservation and animal welfare central to that responsibility.
The House’s charter, documented lineage and registry govern membership. Being a Kanaani cat does not by itself confer membership in the Royal House.
