she-cats
Toms' female counterparts
She-cats is the plural of she-cat, a female cat.
The term appears most often in contexts where sex matters—breeding, behavior, or distinguishing females from toms.
It has gained currency through the *Warriors* fantasy book series, where cats form clans and she-cat is standard vocabulary: The she-cats defended the nursery.
