Warrior Cat[edit]
Welcome to the world of Warrior Cats. In this world, animals are as intelligent as humans. Only a language barrier and misunderstanding has prevented the two from knowing each other's true intelligence. Warrior Cats are house hold cats that most of them live near humans but avoid them like dangerous creatures. Only a few live near them and fewer live with them.
Kittypet[edit]
"I know all about being a kittypet, and it's not as easy as you think. You only eat when the Twolegs give you food. You only go in and out when the Twolegs say you can. Is that what you really want? And then there's the Cutter."
— Macgyver to Parsleyseed
Physical Description[edit]
You look just like any house cat.
History[edit]
Since ancient history, cats have lived with humans. It is the same history of modern house cats in the real world.
Kittypets vs Rogue and Loner[edit]
Rogue and Loner can live both in the wild and with twolegs (humanoid) while kittypets live with twolegs. The main difference between the two is how they relate with twolegs. Rogue and Loner are scavengers. They have a large territory and eat trash with a rare living prey. Kittypets are completely dependent on the twoleg to eat them or allow them to stay permanently. They have an extremely tiny territory and many of them never leave it. Kittypets do not need to be friendly to twolegs.
Example: A common kittypet that is not friendly to twolegs are the ones that feast one pest (mice) in a barn. Twoleg could at any time remove the cat from the barn anytime but choose to leave the wild cat alone to get ride of the pest. The twoleg has never even touched the cat and they rarely see them. Due to the plentiful food, the barn cat has very little reason to roam outside of the barn.
Society[edit]
Kittypets, also known as everkits, are looked after and pampered by Twolegs. Many are plump because Twolegs feed them several times daily with dry, tasteless pellets that look like rabbit droppings and soft slop, according to Clan cats. They are soft-muscled and know very little about the arts of fighting and hunting (with notable exceptions). At a certain age, they are taken to be neutered or spayed by the veterinarian, who is otherwise known to the Clan cats as the Cutter. After this visit, they usually become lazy and have no desire to do much.
Kittypet Names[edit]
