Wouldn't be surprised if this gets asked a lot so I apologize if there's a FAQ I missed. I really like the Honor Harrington series before she started crying every other page and deep emotional impact became more important than blowing the poo poo out of things with a lot of missiles. I do sort of like the political aspects of the books though.

Are there any other authors or series I should be reading to get the same thing with less treecats?

Your best bet is probably Jack Campbell's Lost Fleet series, Drake's Lt. Leary series is also good, though the scope of the conflicts is much smaller so far. After that... maybe Vatta's War? The other series I've read in this genre range from mediocre to abysmal(Star Carrier, Starship or more recently, To Honor You Call Us) so any recs are welcome too.
