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.

Physical Description[edit]

Normal house cat.

History[edit]

Each group has a different history. Subclass with the Clan in their name have a long and ancient history that can be traced back to one of the three great cats: tiger, leopard, and lion.

Smaller groups like sisters and the tribe also have a long history but they are often in a stagnant. Their history barely has any interesting events and often live similar to their ancestors.

Then their is the more solo, or small groups of cats like loner and kittypets. History is not important to them and they are not bond by traditions.

Each subrace has a different society. The subclass with clan in their name have similar yet still different culture.

The subclass with clan (exception of Bloodclan) believes that heaven is called Starclan and hell is called Place of No Stars. Their Medicine cats serve as the role of priest while leaders are known to be visited by Starclan. It is known that both afterlife can visit the living cats through dreams.

The Tribe has a similar heaven to Starclan called the Tribe of Endless Hunting. Their leader serves as their priest.

The Sisters believe that all cats go to the ghost residence. Each sister can see ghosts of their ancestors. While all of them has this ability, they are not as spiritual as the other two groups above.

All the other groups does not believe in the afterlife or has there own made up belief.

Warrior Cat Names[edit]

The first noun is chosen by their parents while the second noun is chosen by the leader when they become an "adult". Additionally, kittens' last noun is -kit while children in training has -paw. Leaders loose their second noun and gain the star suffix.
