Although I think I get the reasons of why kitten is related to cub, the aliasing is just... so incorrect talking about way to say stuff.
Anyways, wouldn't be better if kittens was aliased to kitten and kitten (ugh, don't agree with it at all but w/e) imply cub?
Cub is a well-known term within the furry fandom, not just on e6, to mean any young children. Here we use it to only refer to only young animal children including anthro (i.e., not human), but it's use is pretty much the same as elsewhere.
The reason kitten is aliased away is because we try to avoid species-specific tags whenever possible. In this case we have a tag that's both a species and an age tag, which adds complexity and just doesn't work with the way we do things. There are several other tags (puppy, colt, filly, stallion, etc.) that have already been aliased away to various places for the similar reasons.
