What is a Warrior Cat?

Answer 1

I will explain what a warrior cat is. A warrior cat is a cat that lives in the wild in a group called a Clan. A clan is a large group of wild cats that work together to protect and defend their territory, help feed eachother, and fight to protect their Clan. In a clan, there is the camp. A camp has a nursery, For kits, (Kits- Young cats whose name ends in kit) The Apprentices den, (Apprentices- Young cats over 6 moons (1 moon= About half a month) Training to become warriors. There is the warriors den, and the Leader's den. (Leader- A cat with nine lives who used to be a warrior that leads the clan and has the end of their name as "Star" ex. Firestar and Onestar)The leader assigns a deputy. The deputy is the second in command of a clan, will become leader once the current one dies (9 times) and organizes hunting and border patrols. Hunting patrols are a group of about 3-5 cat's that go out to hunt mice, rabbits, fish, etc. Border patrols are a group of 3-5 cats that go to the borders of another clan to make sure the other clan did not pass. There are 4 clans in the forest/lake (Depending on which series you're on) called Riverclan, Shadowclan, Thunderclan, and Windclan. (Thunderclan is where all the main characters in the books are, except in Night whispers, book 3 of Omen Of The Stars) When the cats in these clans die, for example, of starvation or in a battle, they go to a cat version of heaven called Starclan. There they can see the future. Also, when a deputy comes to get his nine lives at the MoonStone or Moonpool, they give him/her nine lives, and change the end of his/her name to star. Riverclan lives near a river, and eat mainly fish. Windclan live on A moor, eating mainly Rabbits. Thunderclan lives in a forest and eats mostly forest animals, Like mice, birds, and voles. Shadowclan live in a marsh, and eat birds, voles, mice, and the occasional frog or toad. When prey is caught, they give thanks to starclan for its life and then head back to camp and put it on the Fresh Kill pile.
