Main Guide
These include how your clan cat should act, what the clans do, and what specific character's choices are. These are very important to know when role-playing, and are also important when creating a cat.
Warrior Code
This explains the Warrior's way of life everyday, and what a clan cat agrees to.
- Defend your Clan, even with your life You may have friendships with cats from other Clans, but your loyalty must remain to your Clan, as one day you may meet them in battle.
- Do not hunt or trespass on another Clans' territory. Clans are given their own land.
- Elders and kits must be fed before apprentices and warriors. Unless they have permission, apprentices may not eat until they have hunted to feed the Elders.
- Prey is killed only to be eaten. Give thanks to StarClan for its life.
- A kit must be at least six moons old to become an apprentice. This protects the kit, and makes it realize how important their lives are.
- Newly appointed warriors will keep a silent vigil for one night after receiving their warrior name. They must think about their duties to their Clan, and to StarClan.
- A cat cannot be made deputy without having mentored at least one apprentice. They must learn how to mentor cats so that one day they can mentor the whole clan.
- The deputy will become Clan leader when the leader dies or retires This is the clan way. A new leader must always be ready to step up.
- After the death or retirement of the deputy, the new deputy must be chosen before moonhigh. The clan should always be prepared.
- A gathering of all four Clans is held at the full moon during a truce that lasts for the night. This is a time of peace for the cats to share news.
- Boundaries must be checked and marked daily. Challenge all trespassing cats. This is one of the most commonly broken rules, with many Clans crossing boundaries to catch prey or apprentices not acknowledging the boundaries.
- No warrior can neglect a kit in pain or danger, even if the kit is from a different Clan. Kits are innocent and have no idea of the rivalry between the clans.
- The word of the Clan leader is the warrior code. Your loyalty to your leader is your loyalty to the Warrior Code.
- An honorable warrior does not need to kill other cats to win his battles. Only if they are outside the warrior code or it is necessary for self-defense.
- A warrior rejects the soft life of a kittypet. Warriors fight for their food and do not enjoy being pampered by twolegs.
- Medicine cats may not have a mate or kits. Their only duty is to their clan.
[/li][/ul] BattleFollowing rules in battle helps prevent confusion in role-playing.
- A battle may only take place if both Clan Leaders agree on a date and time. This is to prevent any misunderstandings or having to delete posts.
- Battles will go on for two weeks before Wildheart locks the thread and judges the winner. If Wildheart is in the battle, then the next staff member will judge. Winner will be based on how well the posts are done, what the condition of the clan is, and other variables.
- Warriors may retreat at any time. Only leaders may call a mass retreat.
- Queens/Kits/Medicine Cats may not fight. They are crucial to their clan and should stay at camp or on the sidelines.
LoveThese laws go over the general rules for mates, kits, and half-clan cats.
- Deputies and medicine cats cannot have kits. Their only duty is to their clan.
- Half-clan cats are allowed, but not too many. There will be a warning when it is banned.
- Kits are allowed in every clan. Both mates must agree to have kits, and then the queen will move into the nursery. No graphic breeding.
- Gestation period is 1-2 weeks. This may differ if the kits come early or late.
- You may ask someone to be your mate. You can post so in Matchmaker.
Clan CatsThis describes a cat's part in a clan.
- Kits A kit is the term for a cat before it turns six moons old. A kit is not allowed out of the nursery for a while, until it's mother (queen) feels the time is right. After it leaves the nursery, it can go around the camp, though it is never far from its mother. A kit cannot leave the Clan camp, and it does not have to catch its own food. Kits are usually playful, trying to get the Clan warriors to play with them. Most of them are too young to fully understand the Clan laws, or The Warrior Code, but if they break a rule, they are usually forgiven and sometimes very lightly scolded depending on the severity of the rule or law broken.
-At least 0 Moons Old
- Apprentices More than six moons old, in training to become warriors. An apprentice is a Clan cat that is at least six moons and training to be a warrior or sometimes a medicine cat. All apprentices' names end with the suffix '-paw', which symbolizes the path their paws are on, until they receive their warrior name.
-At least 6 Moons Old
- Warriors Toms and she-cats without kits. Warriors are cats who have been trained in the arts of fighting and hunting in addition to the ways of the warriors code. They make up the bulk of the clan and are charged with the responsibility to feed and protect those cats who are elderly or otherwise unable to spend the required time out of camp. Warriors are generally over 12 moons of age, and most have served at least 6 moons of Apprenticeship to an older, experienced warrior called a mentor.
-At least 12 Moons Old
- Queens A queen is a warrior she-cat that is expecting or has recently given birth to a litter of kits. Queens reside in the nursery one to two moons before giving birth and begin to have their food delivered to them by their Clanmates as they become less mobile. This continues for a few moons while they are nursing their kits to ensure proper care and education.
-At least 12 Moons Old
- Elders An elderly cat who cannot hunt or fight any more. Elders are greatly honored and respected by their Clan for all the effort and hard work they have given to help the Clan prosper.
-At least 60 Moons Old
- Medicine Cats A cat who heals injuries, who is skilled with herbs, leaves and natural cures and sometimes receives special signs or prophecies from StarClan.
-At least 12 Moons Old
- Deputies A warrior that the leader selects after the death of the previous deputy to become the next leader after the current leader dies. A cat must have trained at least one apprentice before becoming a deputy. Deputies are in charge of various Clan tasks, such as assigning hunting patrols.
-At least 18 Moons Old
- Leaders A cat who controls the entire Clan. Holding the most important rank in the Clan, a leader is granted nine lives by StarClan so they "can be first in every battle," basically giving them extra time to serve and lead their Clan.
-At least 18 Moons Old

Now I don't mean serious wounds here, I mean cuts. Small scrapes and such that bleed a bit but aren't too serious. Unless they get infected. Yes, even small injuries can get infected. These usually close up on their own, but if not, well just use a bunch of these herbs below.
Best Treatments:
[Chewed] Gumweed and Goldenrod Juice
Eucalyptus and Calendula
Tarragon and Witch Hazel
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SWELLING
A painful inflammation of one part of the body. Swelling can sometimes be a symptom of something else or some type of infection. If it happens in certain body parts, such as the legs, it can restrict movement. Swelling is not very serious, but should be cured to relieve the cat of pain.

Nettle Leaves and Poppy Seeds
Goldenrod Juice and [Chewed] Alder Bark

Best Treatments:
Ragwort and Skullcap Seeds
Chervil Root and Lamb's Ears
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MILK
If a she-cat is not supplying enough milk for all of her kits, these herbs can be used to increase the flow. If this is unsuccessful the unnourished kits should be moved to another nursing queen or risk death.
Best Treatments:
Borage Leaves and Blessed Thistle
Chaste Tree Berries and Milk Thistle
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TROUBLED BREATHING
A cat's normal breathing pattern is interrupted. It starts breathing in an unusual pattern which can be harmful to its body. For instance, hyperventilating. The cat may pass out from not getting enough air, so you should give it herbs at once.
Best Treatments:
Coltsfoot and Juniper Berries
Iris Petals - stimulate breathing during birthing process
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BEE STING
A flying insect called a bee sticks its stinger inside a cat. The area where the cat was stung will be painful, raw, and will swell up. Well at least the bee dies after it stings you! Anyway, the medicine cat should first pull out the stinger before applying any treatments.
Best Treatments:
White Liquid Within Dandelion Stems and Alder Bark
Nettle Leaves and Poppy Seeds
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TICKS
Ticks are small, almost microscopic insects that jump from animal to animal and suck blood. They have parasitic tendencies. Ticks can come on to a cat at any time while they are going through the forest. They are especially common in elders, and more of a painful nuisance than anything else. In rare cases they can carry diseases.
Best Treatments:
Mouse Bile
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RASH
A rash is an itchy spot on a cat which is painful when scratched. Needless to say it can get quite bothersome after a while. To cure a cat of this nuisance use one of the remedies below. Usually a cat should be cured of this before it gets the chance to infect other cats.
Best Treatments:
Nettle Leaves and Poppy Seeds
Goldenrod Juice and Burdock Root
Sassafras and Oregon Grape Root
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CRACKED PADS
A painful but not fatal ailment usually found in elderly cats. The tender paw pads can become dry and cracked from cold or dryness. It can lead to infection if untreated. It will be painful to walk and the cat should rest until their paws are better.
Best Treatments:
Sage Root and Poppy Seeds
Marigold and Poison Ivy Leaves*
Goldenrod Juice and Garlic Juice
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CHILL
A very minor sickness; usually contracted around leaf-bare, when the weather is freezing or a cat falls into icy water. Somewhat similar to hypothermia. The cat will get cold chills. This sickness is very mild and not fatal.
Best Treatments:
Cayenne and Elder Berries
Horehound Flower and Hyssop
Licorice Root and Rose Hips
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IRRITATED THROAT/SMOKE INHALATION
A raw, sore, or tender throat can be caused by numerous things. The onset of leaf-bare usually brings colds along with it, which can mean irritated throats; smoke can also cause this ailment. The cat's throat may feel dry, itchy, sore, or painful. This is also a mild sickness.
Best Treatments:
Betony and Honey
Cayenne and Fenugreek
Hibiscus Flowers and Onion
Iris Petals and Honey
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHITECOUGH
Similar to influenza and kittencough, a common disease. However, it CAN turn into greencough or even blackcough, so you want to cure it as soon as possible. The cat will be sneezing, coughing, have a runny nose, feel tired, and have a slight fever.
Best Treatments:
Tansy and Yerba Santa
Cayenne and Feverfew
Red Clover and Agrimony
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ACHING/INFECTED EYES
The eyes will have pains and it will be hard to keep them open for a normal period of time. In some cases the eyes may turn red or the skin around them may be raw. They could even start bleeding. It's best if you treat this as soon as possible, for if left untreated for too long blindness may occur.
Best Treatments:
Celandine and Eyebright
[Sliced] Cucumber** and Rosemary Blooms
Willow Bark Juice and Eyebright
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BLEEDING
No matter if it's just a small trickle of blood or that blood is gushing out, bleeding has to be stopped. It can sometimes be a symptom of a more serious disease. Bleeding is most likely from some kind of wound, and should be stopped as soon as possible to prevent infection.
Best Treatments:
Cobwebs
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ANXIETY/SHOCK
Anxiety is when a cat is excessively nervous or fearful for some reason. Shock is when, after witnessing a traumatic event, the cat is unresponsive or refuses to come out of a daze. Listed below are treatments to bring the cat out of its trance or to soothe the frayed nerves.
Best Treatments:
Kava Kava and Passionflower
Motherwort and Thyme Leaves
Mugwort and Oatstraw
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WOUND
A serious injury, to say the least; could be attained in battle, either with other cats or with animals. This should definitely be treated to prevent infection and possible death. The larger and/or deeper the wound is, the more likely it will leave a scar.
Best Treatments:
[Chewed] Alder Bark and Bay
Calendula and Comfrey Root
Garlic Juice and Horsetail
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INFECTED WOUND
Infected wounds are normal wounds that have had some type of viral bacteria enter them. Infected wounds set off a bad stench, ooze pus, and the skin around them is raw. Infected wounds are very painful and in some serious cases can be fatal.
Best Treatments:
Horsetail and Chervil Leaf Juice
Burdock Root and Marigold
Goldenrod Juice and Echinacea
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JUVENILE KIDNEY SYNDROME
Heavystep of RiverClan was afflicted by this in the books. The medicine cats don't know the Twoleg name for it, of course. The symptoms are dehydration, general weakness, vomiting, losing the ability to pass dirt, and softening the pads on the foot to therefore create cracks. Usually a cat will die unless the sickness is not very serious.
Best Treatments:
Crushed Beech Leaves are useful when eaten, though there is no cure.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CARRIONPLACE DISEASE
This was seen only once in the books, as a result from ShadowClanners eating infected rats. Cinderpelt cured it, but I'm not sure of the herbs she used, so here's a few educated guesses. Carrionplace Disease is similar to Greencough; the cat will have troubled breathing, violent coughing fits, fever, loss of appetite, lethargy, and exhaustion. There is a terrible stench associated with this disease.
Best Treatments:
Borage, Angelica, Coltsfoot, Juniper Berries, Honey, and Feverfew.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GREENCOUGH
A sickness similar to pneumonia; usually contracted in leaf-bare. Very contagious; ailing cats should be set apart from the rest of the Clan. It usually is contracted under freezing conditions. Wheezing, phlegm streaming from the nose and mouth, fever, and sluggishness are the
symptoms. This can turn into the fatal blackcough, so watch out!
Best Treatments:
Feverfew and Catnip
Chickweed and Mugwort
Sundew and Elder Berries
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
POISON
When a cat is poisoned, it could mean anything from a minor dizziness to a painful death. In most cases the medicine cat should try to expel the poison immediately, especially if deathberries or a fatal herb has been ingested. Adder or other snake bites should also be cured (if possible) at once. Symptoms may include dizziness, aches and pains, headaches, fever, sweating, and loss of consciousness.
Best Treatments:
Snakeroot and Yarrow
Rosinweed and Ash Tree Shoots
Culver's Root and Hawthorne Berries
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BROKEN BONES
A cat breaks any bone in its body due to some accident. It could be as simple as a minor fracture to as serious as a completely split bone with shards of bone going through the bloodstream. In any case, a broken bone should definitely be first priority. It only takes a few minutes to set a splint and give the cat a painkiller.
Best Treatments:
Poppy Seeds and [Moist] Birch Bark
Comfrey Root and Cinnamon Leaves
Meadowsweet and Broom Poultice
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BLACKCOUGH
A fatal sickness. Any cat who catches this is most likely going to die. You can try to treat it, but there will most likely be minimal results. It is highly contagious. Whitecough and greencough can turn into this. Symptoms are probably severe wheezing and coughing, phlegm streaming from the nose, pus or blood excreted from the body, perspiration, lethargy or weakness, and high fever.
Best Treatments:
Feverfew and Sundew
Echinacea and Damiana Leaves
Yerba Santa and Foxglove Cloves (or Yarrow)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DEATH DISEASE
A very fatal illness, worse than blackcough. Humans call this lime disease. The cat will have aches and pains all over its body and its body will slowly self destruct over time. There is no cure for this. The cat will have many near death experiences, and will be in great pain until it finally expires.
Best Treatments:
The best you can do is deathberries to ease their
passage to StarClan.
*may cause a minor rash
**this may seem funny or confusing; slice the cucumber with your paw and place it over the eyes to refresh the eyes. yes, humans do this too
