Well, from what I understand, the social structure of feral cat colonies is fairly similar to that of lion prides. Females remain in familial groups while the males wander to join different groups (including the same sort of fights between males for the chance to join those groups, and then to keep others from doing so and taking it from them). The similarity breaks down a bit in urban areas where the size of a colony may grow well beyond that of a pride, but that's a function of population and food supply levels more than the innate preferences of either cats or lions.

The males were few in number, guarded, and protected

There are two tias in forgotten springs also.

The structure of the Courelclaws is aberrant. This is made clear in a post moogle quest.

I'd like to point out that the couple from unlocking Wanderer's Palace HM, the Miqo'te was a Keeper male; you could tell by his eyes.
Sort of interesting.

And the rest of his posture and body language, though I will admit I checked double to be certain. I simply did not expect an openly gay couple.

Judging by their dialogue, the two are very happy together despite being chased away from their villages and being somewhat shunned in general. There are other interrace couples, though Ferne has mention it is rather rare (link), so these two are probably facing a bit of prejudice from that + that their loved one has the same gender.

Regardless, they seem to happy together, which makes me happy. And it made the tonberry rescue mission even more adorable (except for the knife stabbing at the end, maybe).

I'm just not sure whether I would call it adorable. But it did make me laugh, especially my character's facial expression.

With the amount of crap the male seekers have done: destroying the XIVth tribunal, defeated every known primal (some more than once), and overall saving Eorzea thrice, we should all be nunhs by know you'd think.

Adventurers should more or less be ruling over Eorzea by now DX sadly though you males will never be nuhns, and will forever remain nuns

Considering how "rare" male Miqo'te are supposed to be, the idea of one being homosexual, especially among the "men are tools" Keepers... Makes you cry just thinking of what he must have been through.

Both of them seem to have taken a lot more critisism for being together with someone of a different race, than for being together with someone of the same gender.
