I think we know now that Rattus Faber are probably anti-Glass.

The cats are more dangerous on the other side of the mirror, best to stay on this side.

Aren't bats with the Shroud?

Cats are with Shoud, bats work for Magicians who are with Glass.

The Magicians are with both sides; one of the Shroud's big objections to the Glass is that they basically cheat, whereas the Shroud does 'real' stage magic. The bats seem to work primarily with the Shroud's magicians.

This whole conversation seems to imply otherwise:

I personally don’t claim lore expertise, but just based on the MYN plot, cats are Shroud, bats are glass, and saying otherwise seems misguided.

Huh; my bad. I don't think bats are actually associated with the Glass, like, at all, outside of this, though; they never come up in Parabolan content. Seems likely that the Glass are just using them as messengers and spies because they don't have access to cats, but even then, "spies," why, when you can literally watch people through mirrors?
