The Treecats also play big roles in the prequel books of the STAR KINGDOM Series; A BEAUTIFUL FRIENDSHIP, FIRE SEASON, TREECAT WARS.
Just bear in mind they're not really cats. Just very catlike aliens. With very low senses of humor. They do like playing Frisbee, though.
There's a lot more than treecats in the various Honorverse series, if you're interested in modern space opera and adventure SF. They're all linked but each series can be read separately.
The primary entry point is ON BASILISK STATION, free at the BAEN FREE LIBRARY.
But another good entry point to the latter books is THE SHADOW OF SAGANAMI.
In keeping with the tone of this thread, if you like either, you'll end up bingeing twenty-some volumes covering five series and a half dozen anthologies.

I do agree with the treecat series, loved them, devoured the Honor Harrington series up until part 10, that one just would not go down the hatch, it was some time ago, but if i recollect it was a lot about politics, and boy do i hate the slimy backstabbing attitude that seems to go with that.
I folded about 1/4th in the book, took me 4 years to pick up the next part, still not fully back on track for me.
Since then i read the treecat series, and now i added part 12-13 to my Kindle Account for a holiday read
I liked (as a M-SF series) the Kris Longknife series better even sans Cats :P
