Rules

Every Clan needs rules, so here are ours. I will put the original warrior code rules here, but I may say that we do not follow that rule.

  1. 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. (we follow the first sentence of this, we do not follow the second because our 5 Clans live in peace)
  2. Do not hunt or trespass on another Clan’s territory. (Yes, but you can trespass if you have a really good reason to.)
  3. Elders, Queens, sick cats and kits must be fed first. Apprentices may not eat until they have hunted for the elders or have been given permission. (Yes, but apprentices may eat without doing either of those things if the prey is plentiful on the pile.)
  4. Prey is killed only to be eaten. Give thanks to StarClan for its life. (Yes.)
  5. A new kit must be six moons old to become a apprentice. (yes.)
  6. Newly appointed warriors will keep a silent vigil for one night after receiving their warrior name. (yes.)
  7. A cat cannot be made deputy without having mentored at least one apprentice. (yes)
  8. The deputy will become Clan leader when the leader dies, retires, or is exiled. (yes)
  9. After the death, retirement, promotion (to a leader status), or exile of the deputy, the new deputy must be chosen before moonhigh. (yes)
  10. A Gathering of all four Clans is held at the full moon during a truce that lasts for the night. There shall be no fighting among Clans at this time. (yes, even though we have 5 clans, Wildclan, Snowclan, Streamclan, and Stormclan)
  11. Boundaries must be checked and marked daily. (yes)
  12. No warrior can neglect a kit in pain or danger, even if the kit is from a different Clan. (strong definitely yes yes yes yes yes.)
  13. The word of the Clan leader is the warrior code. (yes)
  14. An honorable warrior does not need to kill other cats to win their battles, unless they are outside the warrior code or if it is necessary for self-defense. (yes, if there ever is a battle…)
  15. A warrior rejects the soft life of a kittypet. (If they truly desire, then a warrior can become a kittypet)
  16. Each Clan has the right to be proud and independent, but in times of trouble they must forget their boundaries and fight side by side to protect the four. Each Clan must help the others so that no Clan will fall.
