hmmm.. not sure. I don't think it was part of a series, also the covers look different than I imagine and I didn't read any titles that would match. I don't think the cats lived in clans called after the elements.. also they weren't really wild cats, just normal house cats and some strays. And it was really more adult- than pre-teen-targeted. But I'll look into this some more.

EDIT: definately not it, the first book was released in 2003. That's too late. I read it around 2000.

I haven't actually read them, but I believe there are two books by an author named Gabriel King called The Wild Road and The Golden Cat. They feature cats and seem to be fairly adult-oriented. From the Amazon synopses, there are indeed plots about one cat's kittens and an evil human. I believe they were both published in 1999 or thereabouts. Might it be one of them? (Or maybe they were published together in one volume sometime?)

That's it, thanks a lot! "In the first novel a human character simply named "the Alchemist" is portrayed very much like a research scientist gone mad with lust for torturing animals. One of the main characters, Cy, is a young female that escapes a research facility with an electrode still stuck in her head, causing her to have epileptic seizures and other brain disorders. In The Golden Cat we are privy to a research lab where cats are held constantly immobilized until they develop severe "bedsores" and one cat has an eye surgically removed". Nightmare fuel, I tell you.
