How do you know whether or not you've been invited to the gathering?

How do cats get invited to gatherings? I am new here so I don't quite know how this works. Is it like the books or is everybody allowed to go?

as long as your cat is on the allegiances, they can go to the gathering! to put your cat on the allegiances, just submit them here & make sure to follow those joining rules, but otherwise, your cats can go! unless your cats' leader/high rank has specifically forbidden your cat from going @LionKitKat
i do believe they have to be an apprentice or up though, no kits
