Realm of Experience refers to the idea that the cats of various groups experience life in a certain way that differentiates the language they use from that of humankind. It’s specifically used primarily to refer to words that lie outside their personal “Realm of Experience”. This means that, because certain groups of cats don’t experience life with humans than certain human words (or words that belong to various other groups) would not be amongst those they would know or learn.
This document will include details on various realms of experience that have been documented within CoSC so far, and will be subject to change as various realms of experience are identified and documented.
