Chest Infections
Whitecough and greencough are the most common chest infections known to the Clan cats. Whitecough is the milder form, but if untreated, it can develop into the much more severe greencough.[2] Cats usually catch it during leaf-fall and leaf-bare, and sometimes it develops into large-scale epidemics. It can be fatal for elders and kits,[2] and it has claimed the lives of several cats. It spreads quickly and is highly contagious.Medicine cats treat it using catmint. If fevers accompany the cough, tansy or borage is used as well.
Blackcough symptoms are such as expelling blood, high fever, and coughing.

Poisoning
Eating deathberries.
Eating poisoned or rotten prey .
Drinking tainted water.
Inhaling too much smoke from a fire.
Being bitten by a venomous animal such as a snake.
If only a small quantity of poison is ingested, the cat usually just receives a bellyache, but larger amounts can cause death. Medicine cats treat these bellyaches with yarrow or nettle leaves, while mild bellyaches can be treated with juniper or watermint. If a cat has been severely poisoned (as in eating deathberries) he/she may become unconscious for a length of time.

Rat-Borne Infections
Burdock root is used to stop infection from rat bites.[13][14]

Loss of Sensory Perception
A cat may lose his or her eyesight or hearing due to old age or from accidents and infections, or birth defects. These conditions usually end their career as a warrior, as they cannot hunt or fight efficiently, and must retire as elders. Kits born with defects usually die young, unless they have special skills compensating it. Kits that are white with blue eyes have a higher chance of being born deaf.

Joint Aches
A condition usually associated with elders, the joints gradually degenerating with age, causing pain and difficulty to move. Damp environments can cause the appearance of this condition, so apprentices must make sure that the moss they gather for bedding is completely dry. It is usually treated using daisy or ragwort poultices.

Toothache
A toothache is caused by a cracked tooth, cavities, or an infection in the mouth. Alder bark is used to soothe the pain.

Fever
Fever is an abnormally high temperature of the body. It is not a disease in itself, but it usually signs the presence of an infection, such as greencough or an infected wound. If needed, it can be treated with feverfew, borage, or lavender.

Chill
Chills are mostly associated with cold weather or being submerged in cold water for a long period of time. Kits and elders are more at risk of dying when they get a chill. Licking a cat's fur the wrong way gets the blood flowing again. A poultice of lavender, catmint and feverfew is also a good remedy.

Wounds
Wounds are injuries when the skin and the muscles beneath are torn, cut, or punctured. They may put a cat's life in danger due to blood loss, infections, or the damage of the organs. Wounds are the most common injuries, due to the cats always fighting enemy Clans, badgers, or foxes.
Minor wounds heal on their own in no time, but severe wounds must be treated by a medicine cat. This treatment includes cleaning it thoroughly with the tongue, stopping the bleeding by pressing cobwebs on it, and applying poultices to prevent infection and help it to heal. Herbs used in the poultices include goldenrod, marigold, burdock root or (in the case of rat bites) wild garlic. If the wound becomes infected, chervil or horsetail is used as well. The pain can be eased with poppy seeds or willow bark.

Sprains
Sprains are injuries to ligaments of a joint, caused by being stretched beyond their normal capacity and possibly torn. It causes severe pain and decreased ability to move the joint. The cat must rest for several days.

Joint Dislocation
Joint dislocation is the displacement of a bone from its normal joint. Medicine cats treat this condition by first feeding the patient poppy seeds to make them sleepy so they don't feel it as much, and then forcing the limb back into the joint.

Cracked Pads
The paw pads may crack while walking long distances on hard surfaces, or due to cold weather. Elders are especially prone to this condition. It is treated with a poultice of coltsfoot or yarrow. Dock leaf poultices are also used to cool cracked pads.

Broken Bones
A broken bone is usually the result of an accident, such as falling down from a high place, or being hit by a monster. Cats most often break their legs, and while medicine cats try to bind the bone with cobwebs, the injury usually results in the cat remaining crippled for the rest of his or her life. A more severe injury is when a cat breaks his or her backbone. This results in the cat being unable to feel or move parts of his or her body. If the break is bad enough the cat will be killed on or shortly after impact.

[LunaRuna1987]

Wolfheart
Rank: warrior
Wanted Rank: Queen
Kit Name: Wolfkit
App. Name: Wolfpaw
Mediator/Med. Cat/Warrior Name: (Put N/A for a random name!)
Gender: She-cat
Sexuality: heterosexual

Allegiance Description: Wolfheart is a small darkish cream colored she-cat, with white ear and chest fur. Her fur is really soft and she has a long tail. She also has deep green eyes

Personality: Wolfheart has a gentle and calming soul. She hates fighting and arguments and would do her best to resolve problems with peace. She is very patient and understanding when it comes to any cat (especially kits and apprentices). It would be hard for some cat to make her lose her cool (if they don't know what grinds her gears). Wolfheart also has the protective instincts and aggression of a mother (even though she isn't one herself).

Greatest Qualities: Her greatest quality is her patients (comes in handy with kits especially)

Worst Qualities: Her worst quality is being to motherly (sometimes she can come off as smothering to any cat, and this may annoy others even if shes just trying to be helpful and loving.)

Mate/Crush: None/ Open (if you want to be her mate pm me the cat must be from a different clan though)
Kits: None yet
Mother: Unknown (Pm if interested if not i'll make my own)
Father: Unknown (Pm if interested if not i'll make my own)
Sisters: Unknown (Pm if interested if not i'll make my own)
Brothers: Unknown (Pm if interested if not i'll make my own)

Bio: She may have been born in Pineclan but she longs and dreams to live in a much nicer clan, where she could be what she wants to be. In Pineclan she isn't allowed to be a Queen, due to her leader wanting more warriors. In Pineclan you don't get to choose what rank you want, it's whatever the leader wants. For now she's only pretending to be a loyal Pineclan cat but once she gets an opportunity to leave, she will with no doubt leave.

[LunaRuna1987]

Nimbleflame
Rank: Deputy
Wanted Rank: Leader
Kit Name: Nimblekit
App. Name: Nimblepaw
Mediator/Med. Cat/Warrior Name: Nimbleflame
Gender: Tom-cat
Sexuality: Heterosexual

Allegiance Description: Nimbleflame is a Tortoiseshell tom-cat with Hazel-colored eyes. He has slightly bigger paws than the rest of his clan-mates. (And yes he is a Tortoiseshell Tom-cat that can have kits). He also has a large scar on his back.

Personality: Nimbleflame is a very serious and straight-forward cat. If he doesn't like something or you, he will say it to your face with no fear or hesitation He can also come off as extremely aggressive and or cold (to cats that don't know him well). Nimbleflame can be kind and caring (but it's in his own way) and he is also reserved and very secretive (when it comes to his feelings). He wouldn't share his deepest feelings with any cat. That certain cat would have to be very important to him.

Greatest Qualities: His greatest quality is his speed. Some say he's the fastest cat in all of Nightclan. Others suspect that one or maybe both of his parents were secretly Grassclan cats (however these rumors are proved to be false for the time being)

Worst Qualities: His worst quality has got to be his anger and aggression towards other cats. Anything could get Nimbleflame mad (and I mean anything). This attitude of his has gotten many cats (even from other clans) to dislike him. Only those close to him understand why he gets angry so much. Maybe that's why the leader of Nightclan picked him as Deputy. Can the leader see something the others can't see?

Mate/Crush: None/ open pm me if interested
Kits: None at the moment
Mother: Moonbreeze - (Location unknown)
Father: Silverstrike - (Location unknown)
Sisters: Unknown/ open pm me if interested if not i'll make my own
Brothers: Unknown/ open pm me if interested if not i'll make my own

Bio: Nimbleflame is extremely loyal to his clan (maybe even too loyal lol is that a thing?). He is very strict when it comes to the warrior code and will always remind people to stick to the warrior code. Any cat he finds breaking the code, he will immediately take them to the leader for a punishment, and if the leader is busy, he would punish the cat himself (no cat would want that trust me). Why is he so strict some may ask? Well that's how he shows that he cares. He wants every-cat to follow the code so that nothing bad happens to the cats and home that he loves. Talking nicely won't work, so he has to be the way that he is in order to protect his clan and his clanmates.

Darkheart
Rank: Leader
Wanted Rank: Achieved

Name: Darkheart
Gender: She-cat
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Allegiance Description: A black she-cat with piercing blue eyes

Bio: She was an orphan. She rose to the top and became Darkstar of Riverclan. She lead her cats into countless battles, in an attempt to combine the clans, so they would live rather than actually destroying each other. She had a master plan, one she only ever told three cats, herdeputy, medicine cat and Tidefeather. Ebonydash did not like his kit Tidefeather much, so Darkstar raised her mainly, she was also her old mentor. Her deputy turned on her at the end, not allowing her to finish her plan. He was going to claim this plan for himself. Darkstar lied and said StarClan didn't give her any lives and he toook thee bait. He killed her once. Then left her there. Darkstar decided it was better to save her lives. The deputy killed the medicine cat and Tidefeather killed the deputy, Darkstar met with her at knight and told her she had to. This death was blamed on the other clans and this is what started the great war and the beginning of the new clans.

Sorry she's a WIP :I
