Welcome to CreekClan
o O o O o O o O o O o O o O o

CreekClan make their home on marshy land that has a series of creeks spanning the entire territory.

~*~*~

The territory ranges from lush, green and mossy to stoney and rough. They're used to having their paws almost always wet. They're used to crossing deep streams that can sometimes reach up to their shoulders and requires a swim.

~*~*~

The wetlands are a great place for herbs. It's rare for their medicine cat to be without supplies. Cats from this Clan find the musty, damp smells that linger around them to be soothing.

~*~*~

CreekClan camp sits in the middle of an island, raised up from the rest of the territory. Nests are made from woven reeds that are softened with moss. Bushes are strung together to form dens. A still pool encircles the camp with a rocky climb to follow keeps predators at bay.

~*~*~

Sliding silently through mud or stalking carefully through dry brush, CreekClan is one of the most adaptable Clans there is. The other Clans view them as sneaky because of this skill.

~*~*~

Their territory ends in a rocky waterfall that flows down into EchoClan's territory. Cats prefer not to hunt in this area due to the risk of falling over the jagged path. However, it is perfect for sunbathing.

~*~*~

Voles, mice, lizards, frogs, some fish and other small prey make up the majority of CreekClan's diet. Other Clans tend to view some of their choices in prey to be disgusting or odd, but CreekClan members wouldn't have it any other way.

~*~*~

:N.E.W.S:

<> Ivystar is the new leader of CreekClan. <> <> A deputy will be selected when there are five active warriors to choose from. <>
<> Contact Animegirl56 if you are interested in being CreekClan's medicine cat. <>

Watch out for the odd crocodile!

Ivystar // Animegirl56
A light brown she-cat with black stripes going up her tail. Her light green eyes give cats the thought that maybe she should've been born in the forest instead of by the river. Ivystar is calm under pressure, and would do anything for her Clan if she thought it seemed right. That being said, Ivystar has a pride problem; if one cat contradicts her she's fine, but if more then one does, she gets angry. Ivystar was just a regular loner when she was little; but a warrior cat found her, and brought her to CreekClan. The warrior cat was never seen or heard from again, but Ivystar has the dream of actually meeting the cat again who helped her.

Moonlight// Moonshine15
A beautiful black sleek she-cat with dazzling blue eyes. She is a kind and friendly cat although she can get shy sometimes. Her favourite kind of prey is a black bird, and she doesn't care that otehr CreekClan cats don't eat them. When she was a kit she was found at the border when she and her mother got attacked by a fox, her mother didn't survive so her only option was to join the clan. She is completely loyal to her clan and would sacrefice herself for one of her clan mates if they are in trouble

**TBA**

Icedrift // aspenrose
With a pale yellow gaze and the stealth and agility that is true skill, Icedrift is a favorite among his Clan. He has the kind of white fur that stands out and a personality which only echoes his appearance. Icedrift has a can-do attitude, with the motto to 'just go for it!' He often lacks the true depth to win a battle and ends up cowering in defeat as his opponent out smarts him. Icedrift is ambitious and young, savoring his life as he goes along living it. Icedrift has sharp claws and sharp eye-sight, too; he's an adept hunter. Something of a heartbreaker, Icedrift believes a mate would only slow him down and further damage his concentration. His sister is Snowblossom; they're closer than ever since the death of their parents.

Snowblossom // aspenrose
A silver-hued she-cat whose fur is actually white as snow. Her medium length pelt is no trouble to groom and even better to show off; it accentuated her natural beauty and small build. Snowblossom has deep, wide emerald orbs. She has never liked hunting much as she is a perfectionist and fails at that particular task, but thrives on her good-looks and mediocre hunting. Snowblossom has an excessive amount of patience and adores kits; she believes she has yet to find a loving mate. Her only living kin is her littermate, Icedrift, the tom who knows all of her secrets. They've been close ever since their parents were killed in the same forest fire that diminished the population.

Pebblefall // Frostwhisker
A gray she-cat that looks like a stone or a pebble. Has a rounded face and has the perfect build for swimming. Blue eyes that look like the water falling down the waterfall. She is strong and never wavers under various situations, and is not afraid to speak her mind. Is sometimes very stubborn, and hates being bored, she also refuses to do apprentice chores or anything she dislikes.

**TBA**

~Pumastar~ - 9 lives left

Broad shoulders and tall, Pumastar is built for fighting but prefers to use his head. His pelt resembles his namesake, completed with eyes of vivid green. His muzzle is white, enhanced by a deep chocolate brown that also surrounds his eyes, and the tips of his ears as well as his large paws. His look is completed by a long thick tail, also dipped in the same deep chocolate brown found on other parts of his glossy coat. He's fairly reserved when it comes to the other Clans, but is known to be quite friendly and playful among LeafClan cats. Pumastar is a strong willed tom that would do anything for his Clan.

Scatteredbones
Is a dark brown tom with sleek fur and a lithe body build. His big round eyes are blue, the color of the starry StarClan cats he sees every half-moon. Very cantankerous, opinionated and passionate, and like a cat version of an ol' country doctor. Amazed by cat's natural ability to heal itself, but believes a little suffering is good for the soul. He has a very strong relationship with Pumastar. Calls Pumastar Puma, as he is used to calling him that, and he just does. He refused to take on a warrior cat name, as he believes that he was called Bones for a long time, and he will be Bones for the rest of his life onwards. Since he was the first Medicine Cat, he had no mentor, so a StarClan cat taught him, the cat, named Leaf. The very same cat had visited his home as the weather was not nice, he had found the she-cat attractive, and forgot to give the fresh-kill to her, and he said to her "I've got your prey, so you'd better come here and help me eat it, or it's all going to be gone." They began to like each other, but a fox in the Barn killed Leaf when Bones was out on the first day of LeafClan's begining. Even though Leaf is gone now, Bones still harbors fond memories from her. He still loves her.

Lillybreeze
The thing about Lillybreeze, is that she is reserved. She's not cruel or mean, no she would love it if she would be able to talk to her clanmates, but she's too scared. She's worried that her clanmates will think less of her if they actually heard her voice. Her light pale pelt stands out a little against the trees, giving away her location easily. But for some reason, she can hide quite well. Her light green eyes seem to know a cat just by looking at them. Even though she is reserved, she wishes that someone, anyone, could open her heart up.

Fawnspots
A small reddish brown she-cat with small white spots dappling her pelt. Her paws are dipped in a creamy ivory colour that also cascades down her front, covers her belly and tips her tail. Her eyes are a soft amber hue, almost gold. She's fairly gentle in nature but has a bit of a short fuse when it comes to toms. She may prefer to hunt but do not underestimate her in battle. What she lacks in size she makes up for with the sharpness of her claws and the speed in which she uses them.

*Orphaned*
Speckledkit
A brown tabby she-cat with white dapples and shimmering golden eyes. She's fairly small for her age but makes up for it with a big personality. Always looking for adventure and usually stumbling into trouble. Fun loving, spunky and bright would be the best words to describe this little cat. She hopes to be the greatest warrior the glades have ever seen, preferring to use her quick wit and sharp tongue to fight her battles instead of her claws.

Welcome to LeafClan
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

LeafClan's camp is located in a lush glade, in the centre of a meadow. Most of the dens are made from weaving tall grasses together with twigs and dried leaves to keep the wind out.

When calling a Clan meeting, the leader climbs into the dipping branches of the tall tree and calls out to the Clan.

The leader's den is located under the tall tree in the cave that's formed by the winding roots.

The medicine cat's den is located in an abandoned badger sett. There are ledges within to house rows upon rows of herbs and supplies.

The elders sleep in a hollowed out log to insure they stay dry to keep their joints from aching.

Most of the territory consists of a meadow with flowers, trees and bushes dotting the landscape.

A small stream runs through the territory near the camp, providing the Clan with live giving water.

LeafClan's diet consists mostly of hares and other small rodents. The odd bird can be caught near the camp but most of the feathered creatures stay in the top most branches of the trees.

Be sure to watch out for hungry foxes!

Brindlestar - 9 lives

Petite, or known as small. Thoughtful, kind and a cat loving to cherish all the good and the bad; sweet, kind, up-rhythm. Happy, with a soothing voice. She rarely speaks, and is a little dancer; when she jumps it's more like dancing to a ballet scene. She loves to be silent and calming and honest; she hates liars. She's a little petite dreamer. A light brown speckled Siamese she-cat with four little brown paws. She has brown-tipped ears and an elegant white-tipped tail, and also has an bright, white diamond on the middle of her forehead by her eyes and an little white nose with soft golden eyes. She's very shy. [{ dapplefall }]

Sandcloud - A tall and slender she-cat with gentle paws. Her fur is a sandy colour, pointed with a rich chocolate brown on her legs, tail, ears and muzzle. Her dainty paws are dipped in white as well as a small streak right above her nose with eyes of periwinkle blue. Sandcloud isn't really the type of cat to bite her tongue she makes sure her voice is heard. She tells it like she sees it and doesn't hold back. Don't waste her time with sarcasm or she's liable to bat you one over the head. She has a soft spot for kits and younger cats, taking a special interest in how fast they grow and learn each day. If you ever need a shoulder to cry on Sandcloud will be there. But don't expect her to baby you. Dedicated to her Clan and her responsibilities as a medicine cat. [{dappleflower }]

Featherheart - Calm, quirky, and soft spoken those are some qualities you think when you meet Featherheart. Its not that she's shy, its just that she likes to hear other cat's opinion before she speaks her mind. If you think Featherheart sounds like she lets other cats decide for her, you're wrong. She tends to be the odd one out and likes to be by herself. Her soft gray pelt mixed with brown flecks let her hide from her Clan mates on the stones. That being said, she can be easily spotted by her green eyes. Cats sometimes mistake her eyes, when they see her against a rock, for a leaf and they over look her. Featherheart has her own flaws that she's sad about: she can easily get distracted and she likes to be alone which makes her an easy target for her enemies. [{ Animegirl56 }]

Tempestheart - A dark gray tom with bright green eyes. He's quiet, cunning, and distrustful. It takes a long time for him to warm up to others, but once he grows to care about someone else, he is eternally loyal. Tempestheart is highly protective of his loved ones and his clan. He's courageous but not dumb; motivated but not selfish. [{ Evanna }]

Puffpaw - A small, energetic, tom with white fur that seems to stick out in every direction. His fluffy coat often makes him look like a cloud drifting across the ground. He can be a bit clumsy at times but still tries his best. He loves to play but tends to get in trouble for running off to have 'adventures' when he's supposed to be doing his duties. His bright blue eyes make it almost impossible to be mad at him as they give him an air of innocence. He's unsure of where he comes from but loves his home in EchoClan and thinks of the Clan that adopted him as family. [{ dappleflower }]

Littlepaw - A petite little she-cat, she has medium-length light brown fur, with white speckles and white ear (inside) fur. She is very sweet and kind and loves to play. She loves to hunt and she has bright, brown-goldish pupils. She is caring but can be snobby if you don't know her. She has white paws and a darkish-nearly black-tipped tail. She can be very wild and has 3 white spots beside her eyes and a white nose.[{ dapplefall }]

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Willowkit - Bright and cheerful can be quite annoying. Especially when you're trying to get some rest. This little kit has enough energy that she could outrun a badger. Willowkit was orphaned when she was just a tiny one. A warrior had found her and brought her to EchoClan. No one knows where that warrior went, though Willowkit sometimes looks like she does. Willowkit can easily be mistaken by a small brown hill when she sits still; which is very rare. Her light yellow eyes with a tint of green flash with energy everytime she wakes up. You can never be certain what she will do; thoughts can lead to disaster. You can be certain of one thing: a day with Willowkit is never boring! [{ Animegirl56 }]

....Welcome to EchoClan....

The start of the EchoClan territory is filled with medium sized, thin trees. there is a hillside covered in tumbled rocks and scree that lead down into the main part of the territory.

When addressing the Clan, the leader stands on top of the Stone Pile and calls out the familiar call.

Situated at the bottom of a gorge, Echoclan have adapted to their harsh conditions with harder, rougher pads and stronger back legs. Echoclan cats have little to no difficulty when it comes to navigating their land.

There dens consist of a series of caves. The leaders den is near the top of the cliff while the medicine cat's den and the elders den are closer to the bottom for easier access for those with limited mobility.

Small shrubs dot the ground at the base of the sheer rocky cliffs. A small stream trickles through the middle of the Clan's territory.

The end of their territory leads up to a small waterfall. Off in the distance you can see the mountains that conceal the Moon Cave.

EchoClan's diet is mostly made up of small lizards and rodents. However, when patrols head
up to the upper part of the territory, the odd squirrel or bird is usually brought back.

Be on the lookout for deadly snakes! One bite can kill a full grown warrior!

OakClan makes its home in a dense oak forest.
Their balance is unmatched by any other Clan.

Light rarely reaches the very bottom of the forest floor, leaving the ground cool and mossy.

The camp is situated in the branches of the larges oak in the forest. There is a path spiraling up the tree of twisted branches and knots.

Atop their tree top camp, branches weave together to form dens. Moss is best for nests. When the leader wishes to address the Clan, they simply stand on top of their den.

A river winds it's way through the heart of the territory as the Clans life giving source of water. Branches crisscrossing over top of it to make it easy to get across.

The Clan like to travel through the branches of the forest instead of on the ground. The denseness of the trees makes it hard to navigate at their base so the Clan has simply adapted to staying among the tops of the trees.

The majority of prey caught by OakClan consists of squirrels and small birds. If a cat decides to spend their time hunting on the ground, mice and other small rodents can be found.

Beware of owls! Some are large enough to carry off a young apprentice or helpless kit!

A new leader has been assigned!
Fallenstar is now leader.

Please be sure to read the site RULES before joining this Clan

F A L L E N S T A R - A broad-shouldered fiery orange tom. Has amber eyes, a thick pelt and a nicked ear. Is strong, fierce, and brave. A strong warrior, who is courageous and has a knack for battle. Some say he is to keen to go into battle, and others say he will start a battle for fun from just a border skirmish. Born in a family of kitty-pets, but escaped due to the problem of being sold. Is very confident on trees, and moves around in them faster than the safety limit. [ Frostclover ]

H O N E Y S P L A S H - A soft honey coloured abyssinian she-cat flecked with gold. She has deep amber coloured eyes that always seem to be reflecting happiness. Her tail is unusually fluffy with a lithe frame that makes climbing easy as well as helping her to excel at hunting in the higher branches. Her balance is impeccable. Honeysplash isn't the type of cat to back down from a challenge but tends to suffer from anxiety when she is around the injured. She's the kind of cat who could never bring herself to kill another or seriously wound, even when faced with a dire situation. She will fight to prove her point and to defend her Clan but a few scratches and maybe a bite to the tail is all she will leave you with to remember her by. Gentle and kind, and maybe a bit emotional, would be the best words to describe her nature. [ Dappleflower ]

R O B I N C L A W - Robinclaw is a brown tom. He is blind in one of his eyes. That doesn't stop him from being cheerful though! He loves to be outside, whether is be raining or sunny. On of his paws is white and he has black stripes going up his tail. Even though he is happy, he has a quiet side too. His quiet side mostly is when he is hunting, battling, or when one of his clanmates reminds him of his dead family. [ Animegirl56 ]

E A G L E P A W - A black and white tom with handsome blue eyes. He's very large for his age -- the size of a full grown warrior. His size comes with strength, making him a natural fighter and climber. His temper is not to be reckoned with. He is short fused, but his anger is paired with a deep love for his clan and his family. Brother of Spiderpaw. [ εvαηηα ]

S P I D E R P A W - A tall, dark tabby she-cat with amber eyes. Spiderpaw believes that there is no substitute for hard work, so she puts her heart into everything she does. She is outgoing and passionate, and cleverer than she appears. Sister of Eaglepaw. [ εvαηηα ]

- Create - A - Cat -
10 easy steps to create your own warrior role play character!

Detail is key.
If you want to create an interesting and dynamic character you need detail.
This guide is to help you get the detail your character deserves!

Step One: Gender

Is your character a she-cat or a tom? Keep in mind a tom's colouring is a bit restricted due to genetics.
For example, it is extremely rare for a tom to be a tortes-shell calico. Toms generally don't have more
than two colours (not counting accents such as points and deeper tones of the same colour)

Step Two: Base colour

Keep in mind this is not a complete list, just the more common colourings. Please keep colours realistic as per site rules. (No green or hot pink cats!) There are some unusual colours kitties come in. For example; some are pink (actually a very pale shade of orange, giving the illusion of pink), Some are blue (grey with a very faint blue tint, usually most promontory in the sun), or even lilac (a very soft shade of grey with a very subtle purple tint) Generally the colours range from white, yellow, orange, brown, gray to black. Combinations of colours can end up being a redish brown, or you could go with tabby ticked fur (See tabby markings below)

Step Three: Markings

Stripes, swirls, spots, solids, cats come with all sorts of patterns. From simple cap and gloves like a tuxedo cat, to intricate swirls like a mackerel tabby, to the brindled patches of a calico. See below for examples of the way markings can be layed out on the pelts of our furry friends. Markings can be complex or they can be delightfully simple. It's up to you.

Step Four: Accents

A lot of the time cats are accented in white. However that is not the only way a cat's fur can be accented. There is pointing (like a Siamese for example), there is marbling (like a calico. If colour is mostly blended together then it's mottled or brindled.) Accents can either be a darker shade of the base coat, or a lighter shade. Below are examples of white accents.

Step Five: Coat Type

Just like people, cats have a variety of ways their pelts look. They come in smooth,
sleek, fuzzy, fluffy, medium hair, to even curly (which is the most uncommon fur type).
And sometimes even none at all!

Step Six: Eye Colour

Step Seven: Body Type

From the folded down ears of a Scottish fold to the brachycephalic, or pushed in, muzzle of a Himalayan to your average every day tabby cat, cats have a lot of different looks. Some cats are even polydactyl, meaning they have an extra toe on either just the front paws or on all four paws (instead of having four on the back and five on the front they would have five on the back and six on the front).

Is your cat lithe; tall, slender and graceful, built for speed? Or perhaps they're stocky; short and thick with a low center of gravity, great for defending? Or maybe they're burly; large and well muscled, most likely have a broad head and large paws, great for combat? Maybe they're a simple medium build, a combination of the other three.

Step Eight: Age

An important factor for your Clan leader to know. Your choices are as follows:

-Kit - New to the world, everything is exciting, interesting, terrifying and wonderful all at once. Play all day with no worries as you long to be an apprentice.

-Apprentice - Learn what it takes to become a warrior. Clearing out old bedding and removing ticks to build character and strengthen your bond with your Clan.

-Warrior - Care for your Clan by defending it's borders. Catch prey and maybe even train your very own apprentice! Life is rewarding as a warrior.

-Senior Warrior - This age takes time, being a senior warrior means you are consulted more often for your opinion. Or perhaps you're simply on your way to being an elder.

-Queen - Usually between warrior and senior warrior, most often is not accepted as it means more mouths to feed (Perhaps you should find a mate within the Clan first)

-Elder - Live out your days in peace as others bring you fresh kill and change your bedding. You have served your Clan well and it's now time to rest.

Step Nine: Personality

Picture your cat in your head. You've chosen pelt colour, markings, eye colour, even how old they are, but who are they? They could be sassy and bold, never holding back what they think. There's always shy and reserved, who wants to cause trouble? Dark and mysterious, playful and energetic or bossy and rude. Take a good look at your cat, try and picture looking into their eyes. Who do you see? Are they spunky? Or maybe they're the kind of cat who loves to make everyone laugh, the kind with the twinkle in their eye and a bounce in their step.

Take time to include your cats personality in their description. Really think about who they are. It makes for great story telling! Just remember that everyone has a flaw. There is no such thing as a perfect cat. Keep that in mind while you think of their personality.

and lastly...

Step Ten: Name

Now you know what they look like and know who they are, but what are they called? Remember to follow the rules when it comes to naming. Only true warriors names will be accepted. So no naming your kitty Spoonclink or Toastersparks or anything of the sort!

Below are a list of name starts and endings to get you started.

-- Fur --

This article discusses very basic elements pelt pigments, which is useful for having some general knowledge on the different colours of fur on cats. I've decided not to get into genetics, to keep this simple. It explains the colours of feline pelts as well as the patterns found - the differences between calicos, torbies and torties, and the four different types of tabbies.

Only four basic colours in cat fur exist - black, chocolate, cinnamon and red - and all other colours are variations of those. White is not actually a colour, but like in terms of light, it is the lack of colour. It and its variations will be treated as a colour in this article though, since cats do come in white. Obviously black is black (also called ebony), chocolate is the brown, red is an orange and cinnamon is a lighter, warmer brown colour. The names of each colour can vary from breed to breed.

RED PIGMENT

Ginger cats are also referred to as red, sorrel, orange or marmalade, and there is also a division to very dark ginger called ruddy. They can be solid, patched or tabby, and the gene also appears in calico and tortie cats and patches and spots. Solid and tabby gingers have a high ratio of male cats then female cats, and the variation of a cream colour is a diluted version of red. All the variations of gingers come from the original red pigment.

BLACK PIGMENT

Black is obviously a common colour for cats and appears in a torie and calico patterns as well. Gray cats are all referred to as blue in breeding, but there are some shades of blue that are more true to the blue colour we know. They come from a mixture of black and cream, being the diluted form of a normal black. The colour of a hair under a microscope is not a solid gray colour, but a patchy gray/cream.

CINNAMON PIGMENT

Similiar to the red and chocolate shades, cinnamon is a sort of red-brown colour much like of a cinnamon stick. It's diluted colour is a fawn or sorrel colour, and the colour appears as mixture of the diluted versions of red and chocolate (cream and lilac, respectively).

WHITE PIGMENT

White cats are the fur that lacks colour, and have several unique attributes. White cats have many variations of eye colours, and can have gold, green, or blue, and are the most common recipients of heterochromia, a condition resulting in different coloured eyes; which may include a combination of blue, green, orange or yellow. Blue eyed cats with white fur have a high likelyhood of being deaf.

-- Eyes --

Sight is a key element in the survival of a cat, particularly one who must hunt and defend territory for themselves, like the cats do in the Clans. Like all predators, cats have large eyes on the front of their head. The cats eyes have more trouble picking out fine details upclose and small objects, and wide ranges of colours. But they can see objects for long distances with clarity and can sense movement very well. The cats eyes have a particularly good adaption for seeing in the dark -- a type of mirror called a tapetum lucidum at the back of the eye reflects light, making it more powerful, and giving the flat-glow of a cat's eyes when photographed with a low-quality camera on a direct angle. A cat's pupil also has the ability to dilute and open wide more then ours; to avoid damage to the eye in bright light it can reduce it to a slit, while in near-black darkness it can open the pupil wide to attract the most light and see better in the darkness. Cats can not see in pitch-black, but have a greater ability to attract and use small amounts of light then we do.

The cat, like us, can narrow or widen it's eyes to express emotions. A cat also has a third, eyelid common to many hunting animals, which comes from the cat's inner side of the eye and protects the eye from debris and moisturizes the eye. It is not seen very much.

The domesticated and breeded cat has a wide array of coloured eyes which depend greatly on fur colour, breed, and the coloured eyes of parents and grand parents. There are many different shades of eye colour, and each can also change depending on the light they are exposed to and sometimes even the mood of the cat.

The most common eye colours are colours within the "middle" of the spectrum; greenish-yellow to gold. Deeper and usual colours like rich greens or bright coppers tend to be rarer. Some eye colours are very specific to pelt colour -- pointed cats always have blue eyes, while cats with white markings around their eyes (including all white cats) have blue, gold, green, or copper.

BLUE EYES

A lack of pigment in the eyes, blue eyes might be considered the most enchanting color of eyes, and are classified as part-albino because of the lack of pigment. True albinos have pink or red eyes; or very faintly blue-pink eyes. They come in a variety of different shades -- from a dark, flat blue to a crystal-like pale blue. Pointed cats always have blue eyes, and blue eyes are also common in solid white cats. Cats who are white and have blue eyes are often deaf (as in the case of Snowkit, Speckletail's son). Other coloured cats with blue eyes are exceptionally rare.

YELLOW EYES

Yellow eyes range in colour from a dark orange to a bright, sulfur yellow. The common eye-colour gold also belongs to the yellow eye family. Brown eyes are also somewhat rare, so I have no given them a place of their own in the article, and will group them here with yellows.

GREEN EYES

Like blue eyes, green eyes have a pretty range of colours, from a deep ivy green to a very pale bright green. Green eyes (like the human eye colour hazel) often have amounts of yellow in them, or appear to have blue in them as well.

ODD-EYES AND ALBINO

Odd-eyed cats are not actually that uncommon, but none have appeared thus far in the Warriors series! They appear in white solids, and a cat may have one blue eye, one orange eye, one blue eye and one green eye, one blue eye and one yellow eye, as well as other combination's. In cats there are two types of albinos: blue-eyed albinos, with eyes that are blue-gray are more common then "true" albinos, which have red eyes.

-- Behavior --

GENERAL LANGUAGE: FRIENDLY GREETING

Cats greet in several ways, and their body language is a large part that can tell other cats whether they are welcome to get closer or not. Stretching out the head and sniffing is an encouraging welcome. They sniff faces to get a sense of the identify of the stranger from the smell. Cats who know each-other or are greeting each-other warmly will often give an affectionate head-butt (seen often in warriors) or a nose-bump. These actions often turn into rubbing and tail twining. A friendly or polite cat will not make eye contact for long, as it is seen as threatening and hostile, so cats use their excellent peripheral vision to see each-other. An interested cat will have it's ears pricked forward slightly and it's whiskers will also be perked forward in order to sniff the new cat. A contented friendly cat will hold it's tail up straight, which is also used in Warriors as a signal to follow. A hooked tail indicates a friendly but unsure cat.

GENERAL LANGUAGE: HOSTILE GREETING

A hostile cat is often easy to recognize. Cats become hostile when they feel threatened -- in Warriors the cats may feel threatened when their territory is encroached upon, when fighting, or even when insulted. Generally a confident or aggressive cat will raise it's head: cats often settle arguments with long stares, as eye contact is seen as impolite and hostile. A tail still straight but down means a cat is feeling aggressive, and bristling fur means it's angry or frightened. The more threatened a cat feels it will arch more and their fur will bristle.

GENERAL LANGUAGE: SUBMISSIVE

Since Warriors do not often sacrifice their dignity in battle or retreat, the submissive language is often used instead between warriors and a leader, or apprentices and mentors, as a sign of respect. The dipping or turning of the head to avoid all eye contact, and a curled tail (especially curled under the body), crouching down or flinching all indicate respect and submission and are all non-threatening.

HAPPINESS

Cat happiness is easy enough to interpret -- the most famous sign of course is purring, a low, rumbling sound that is comparable to a human smile; it can act only as a sign of contentedness, but also as a non-threatening message: I am safe, you do not need to fear me. The louder the purr generally, the more stimulated the cat is by happiness. Sometimes a cat can also purr out of fear or anxiety, but that is not usually the case.

Facial expressions change as a cat is happy, although they are more easily interrupted by other cats then humans, sensitive changes amount of light or shape of the eye (can be described as glowing, as if often is in warriors) and some cats facial muscles even take on a smile-like shape. When a cat in content or relaxed it's muscles relax, and breathing slows down. If a cat is content and not seeking affection, a flicking tail or a rippling of the pelt can indicate it wants to maintain distance.

The amounts of touch a cat presents to other cats and it's owners often depends on the cat's temperament. Some cats express happiness by seeking contact, rubbing and bumping heads, licking and grooming, kneading, or general touch, like paws. Some breeds of cats actually drool, and many cats exert their energy by adding extra power to jumping. Another symbol of affection, perhaps comparable to a kitty "kiss" is a long stare and then a slow blink.

ANXIETY

Cats, especially housecats, tend to be sensitive in general. Anxiety is common, and can wane and wax easily. Some types of anxiety, stemming from separation and other causes, can last for a long time and effect a temperament of a cat to a more nervous or timid persona.

Signs of short term anxiety is a tail flicking back and forth, rubbing, restlessness (flexing of the muscles or claws), an anxious chutter-chutter like meow. It can disappear quickly when the threat is disposed of or wears off. Prolonged anxiety, tends to be somewhat more serious as a cat emotion, and can be stemmed from anything from the presence a strange cat or animal, to the separation of an owner, family member, or in the Warriors case, a Clanmate. As well as some symptoms of short term anxiety listed above, a cat may become reclusive and eat less or nothing at all for long periods of time and sometimes obsessive grooming. Anxiety can be built upon when a cat is stressed by normally non-threatening objects, and an aggressive or nervous cat may lash out, especially tomcats.

Another type of anxiety is not always negative and is more in anticipation. The unique symptoms of this are again quite obvious; pacing, urgent meowing, and staring. Negative anticipation is exhibited by trying to shirk whatever is coming by feigning sleep, restlessness, or reclusiveness. Cats are very sensitive to the emotions of other cats (they can sense fear, anger, restlessness, sadness etc.) and will often avoid threatening or high leveled emotions like happiness or anger, or symbols of it like loud noise, which make cats uncomfortable. They prefer to be around low-level emotions.

ANGER

Another recognizable and instinctual obvious emotion of the cat is high anger: ears flat back on skull, pupils dilate, fur ripples as the muscles tense, fur standing on end, arched back and tail lashing. More symptoms are rapid breathing, and a loud, warning yowl or growling sound. Listed above are actually defensive gestures and not offensive -- the point of these signs are to ward off a potential attacker, not to invite a fight. The defensive gestures can quickly erupt into offensive, obviously scratching, biting, leaping and fighting. These bouts of rage can come when a cat feels threatened or cornered, and often dispense fast when energy is used up or the cat is distracted. Sometimes it takes time for a cat to relax after anger.

SADNESS

Like happiness, sad body language is easier for other cats to interpret then humans. Eyes change subtly in shape, moping, low-energy levels and tail dropping are all signs of sadness. Sometimes the cat will neglect a lot of grooming or eating, often resulting in a dull pelt, and scratching. The cat is very sensitive to tension and anxiety, so medical problems can be created by prolonged sadness or stress.

-- Anatomy --

LEGS, PAWS AND CLAWS

Cats have powerful back legs for running and jumping, and walk on four paws. Their front paws are thinner and the loose muscle connections allow them great mobility. Legs are used for walking, running, jumping and climbing and are flexible, powerful parts of the body. Cats stretch a lot, even in the Warriors series, in order to exercise and loosen the many muscles in the shoulders that are used for balancing and controlling the legs -- they're also the muscles that allow a cat to twist in midair and always land on it's feet.

The "haunches" and back legs are very muscular and flexible, and help the cat in jumping for prey and fighting. Their power and claws make them powerful weapons.

Since cats don't wear shoes, tough pads of hard skin on the bottom of their paws allow them to travel over rough surfaces and not damage skin (although unnatural rough surfaces, like roads, can cause pads to bleed). It's been reported that amputee cats, who may be missing a leg, will often have the stump's bottom skin turn callous and tough to form a makeshift pad.

Claws are a very important part of a cat's survival -- especially in Warriors, were cats catch and defend their prey, and collect moss. Cats, unlike humans, actually walk on their toes! The toe bones are called phanlanges, and the tarsals, bones that form the heel in a human foot are vertical located behind the toes. The claws can be unsheathed and sheathed, which protects the claws when the cat is running and moving and has no need of them. The claws are the FIRST line of defense, teeth are second, so they must be kept in good condition by scratching at trees or other surfaces (kittypet gossip has come up with bones, but so far that hasn't been seen).

HEAD, EARS, NOSE, EYES AND NECK

The cat has a muscular neck and a flexible collarbone, and highly developed senses. In a summary, the cat has excellent peripheral vision, but has trouble seeing close up details. A flexible pupil allows it to see well in near-darkness.

Both eyes and ears are used in the famous trick of landing on their feet. A small but important organ in the ears actually allows the cat to find the direction of gravity, aiding it in balance and landing. Cats have sensitive hearing to sense prey and enemies, and their ears are very flexible, able to rotate 180 degrees! The ears are satellite dishes for sound, and are also an important part of body language.

The last sense on the head and one of the most important is SMELL, it's 30 times more powerful then ours. Using it's sensitive but small nose, cats can recognize various scents. The cat doesn't actually use smell very much in hunting, in Warriors and as well as in real life, cats use scent to identify prey. In truth most cats use sight and hearing much more then smell in hunting. What isn't exaggerated is the way that cats identify each other using smell -- unified Clan scents are created by grooming each other and mingling scents, but each cat will still maintain it's own scent.

Within the mouth is a unique organ called the "Jacobson's Organ" which is also found in snakes and bats, and some other mammals. This is were the cats true sense of smell comes in -- it's a second and much more useful nose located at the back of the mouth. When cats in Warriors open their mouths to "scent" prey and draw in the air, they are having a Flehman Response and scenting.

WHISKERS AND FUR

A cat's pads do not have a lot of touch sensors -- instead they use whiskers (on their face and on their "wrists" or front ankles) to sense the size of a space or the texture of a surface. In fact they're so sensitive that they can sense movements in the air.

SPINE

A cats spine is made of vertebra that are much more flexible then a humans. It's connected with flexible muscles that allow the vertebra to "drift" allowing a wide range of movement for jumping and stretching.

MOUTH, TONGUE AND TEETH

The Jacobson's Organ is an important part of the mouth but is discussed in this article at the end of HEAD, EARS, NOSE, EYES AND NECK, since the cat uses it for smell. Cats have sharp teeth which are the second line of defense in a fight, and are vital for eating meat which a cat needs to survive. The canines in the front of the teeth are the killing weapons, used often (in Warriors) to snap the spine of prey to order to kill it quickly. Cats use the scissored molars to slice prey into edible pieces.

Even more interesting is the cat's tongue -- which actually has thousands of tiny barbs that allow the cat to lick meat off bones, and to groom themselves. A cat also uses it's tongue to drink, by scooping water and throwing it back into the mouth.

Your paws take you through EchoClan territory before leading you up a stoney path. A fast flow of tumbling
waters rushes past you as you travel. The slope gradually steepens before bringing you to a rocky mountain.
As your eyes scan the mountainside a mist dampens your whiskers from the spray of the waterfall that pounds
the earth beside you. Taking a deep breath you begin the slippery climb upwards. Taking extra time to make sure
your paws are securely in place before taking the next step, you make your way up until you're about half way.
Curiously you peer behind the waterfall to find a mossy cave hidden behind the churning, unpredictable
waters. With delicate steps, you slip behind the waters and appear to vanish to the outside world. Heading
down a tunnel you spotted at the back of the cave, it pulls you deeper and deeper inside until the swirling
light surrounds you and you must rely on your whiskers to guide you to insure the rippling light doesn't confuse
your senses. Rock brushes your pelt on either side before the scent of fresh air finally flows into your lungs. Within
seconds a bright flash of light dazzles your eyes as the moon glides gently into place far above. As your eyes
adjust to the brighter light, you notice how the walls glitter. With the rippling light behind you from the waterfall
and the glittering crystal on the walls, illuminated by the moon, it is as if you're standing in the middle of
a living aurora. A pool of light splashes the floor in the middle of the cave. You make your way towards
it before laying down and closing your eyes, letting StarClan enter your dreams and tell you your destiny.

We are currently on the hunt for Deputies!

Do you have what it takes to be second in command?

If you wish to become a deputy of any of the Clans,
Please send the description of your cat to the Clan leader
along with the following:

How active are you?

What is the reason you think you would make a good deputy?

What is the reason you think your character would make a good deputy?

Test of abilites

Test 1
Your leader has been badly wounded and the clan medicine cat forbids them from going to the gathering tonight. You must take their place at the sky tree. Describe how your cat would handle this situation (in role play form) and what they would tell the other Clans at the gathering.

Test 2
While on border patrol, you come across a helpless kit just over the border of your territory, a badger looming over it. It cries out for help. You know that if you lead your patrol to it's rescue that you will not only be breaking the warrior code by crossing the border, but you also risk the safety of your patrol. (In role play form) What do you do?

Good luck and may StarClan light your way!

(Image Coming Soon)

LeafClan - The camp is in the middle of a glade with trees sort of thinning out as you get further from the camp. There's a meddow wraps around
the Clan with a few small trees dotting the terrain. A few fallen logs can be found as well on their land. The ground is mossy and soft under paw
wherever trees are clustered.

OakClan - Large oak trees make up most of their terrain. Starting out smaller at the edges of the territory, building up to towering massive trees.
The largest tree in the centre of the territory is where they make their camp. A small twoleg village backs this Clan.

EchoClan - Their territor consists of a gully and a small portion oft trees and grass. A river runs up the middle of their territory running down from
CreekClan. There is also a large dead tree that spans the gap of the gorge, allowing for easy crossing for CreekClan for getherings.

CreekClan - Sort of a marshy boggy type territory with lots of bulrushes and a few hearty trees. There are creeks spanning their entire territory
that make it look like a spiders web. Their camp resides on an island in the middle of it all. A river snakes through their territory that the creeks branch
off of that also runs down into EchoClan territory.

The Mooncave, home of the Moonpool, is behind LeafClan and EchoClan territory up a mountain. The pool is located inside a cave behind a waterfall,
about half way up. A hole in the roof of the cave lets in the moon light and when it shines in just right, it reflects off the Moonpool as well as the surrounding
pools, casting light onto the waterfall to make it seem like you're standing in the night sky.

The four Clans meet at a place called The Sky Tree, named as such because it reaches so high into the sky. At the base of the tree is a series of large
roots that loop up out of the ground that the leaders use to address the Clans. It's positioned near the fallen tree that crosses EchoClan's territory, in between
LeafClan and OakClan.
