Like any species there'd be exceptions, of course. In coastal villages with plentiful fishing options you'd probably see male and female kyn living together to maximize food intake, though overfishing would potentially be a problem that would keep their population down compared to the more traditional city-state arrangement mentioned above.
Even then I imagine that kyn society would lack much of a concept of monogamy; they would definitely be matrilineal more often than not: a kyn traces their family through their mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, etc.. Also, while male kyn are larger and stronger than females like with humans, the fact of the matter is that female kyn have sharp teeth and claws, and so even a naked female kyn is way more capable of badly injuring or even killing a male than a female human is when dealing with a male human. So between the females being more concentrated (and thus having a numbers advantage over any given band of hunter-herders), controlling the cities, and being very capable of defending themselves, their societies probably tend towards genuine matriarchies (not that the females can mistreat the males either - again, sharp teeth and claws).
I imagine sexual integration starts happening eventually as technology advances and the food surplus continues to grow and cities become gradually more pleasant places to live. In keeping with cats being fairly fastidious, the kyn would probably be big into things like plumbing, sewers, and public baths, so mass diseases might be less common in kyn history. In any event, eventually you end up with a significant number of male kyn who don't want to leave the cities to become ranchers. In some places this might be gradual shift, in others it's a major societal upheaval.
