It is now winter. When the animals go into hiding, white blankets cover the ground and rest upon the trees,
it truly is a good season though not to the animals of the forest including Novaclan. Winter, or bare-leaf as the
cats prefer to call it, contains its dangers of illness and starvation. Small critters are hibernating as they alread
y planned to in the autumn. Now how were they supposed to get their food? Surely they can learn to become lik
e foxes, pouncing in the thick blanket of snow but that would take a lot of work and a lot of training. The medi
cine cat will have a lot of stress from this season with all of the potential illnesses that can reach the cats, incl
uding the deadly greencough. Elders and kits must be protected, it will be harder for them to get through this s
eason more than the other clan cats. Hunting will begin in the daylight when its more warmer, the nighttime is
an option but it could cause hypothermia. Since the prey level is low, Novaclan will no longer accept loners as t
hey normally do, they cannot stand for more mouths to feed. If the clan manages to make it through, spring of
course will begin to come around and all the buds will start to bloom, the prey coming out to enjoy the sunlight.
Though it will still be cold in the spring, since they live in Canada, so the disease may still be around.
