Cat Name: stonepelt
Gender: tom
Rank: warrior
Clan: pondclan
Age: 71 moons
Kitty trying out for: #2731
Prompt:
stonepelt’s childhood friend was pinestorm, the two tom’s bonded as kits in the nursery. rough housing and playing chase around their mothers since they opened their eyes. going into apprenticeship with pride and confidence, together they believed they were invincible.. they often got into a lot of trouble by their mentors as well. one would stick their neck out for the other before laughing it off through their joint punishments.

they had the most fun and held the most secrets, conjuring epic journeys while out on patrol. fighting heart breaking battles in a field of flowers in the warm sunlight of new-leaf. they were inseparable until they became warriors, they had different duties. waking up at different times, patrolling on different days, taking watch different nights. they could never seem to get any quality time together and just grew apart..

Cat Name: Lightningclaw
Gender: tom
Rank: Warrior
Clan: TreeClan
Age: 3 years
Kitty trying out for: #2731
Prompt:

Lightningclaw grew up an adventurous cat, always sneaking away from his family and exploring the forest. He loved taking in the sounds of the forest, the sights of the new animals that never came near the camp... and he met who he thought was his best friend out in the forest.

It was barely dawn when he had snuck out of the den, stepping quietly around his littermate and mother and dashing through the undergrowth under the cover of the still dark morning. As dawn approached, and the light streamed through the treebranches, Lightning had scented something he had never encountered before. He knew it was an animal, but definitely not a cat.

He ventured with little fear towards the scent, eventually reaching a badger set. It was lucky for the young cat that the mother badger had left to hunt, leaving behind her small cub. The kit and cub stared at each other for a long moment, neither blinking, until Lightning raised his tail high into the sky - a new friend!

Lightning purred softly at the small badger, prodding it with his paw. The badger blinked at him, fear and apprehension visible, until Lightning shook his head. "I won't hurt you!" He squeaked out, jumping to the side in a play maneuver. "I want to play! You can be it first!" The badger straightened, tilting its head, and eventually joined in the springing and dancing game of chase.

__________________________________________________________________________

Over the next few moons, Lightning would go back frequently to visit his badger friend. The pair learned of each other's lives, different yet similar, and formed a strong friendship - a strong duo that they would often make stories about; Lightning the cat, and Sniff the badger, the fiercest warriors in the forest!

When Lightning neared apprentice age, the cats of the clan found the badger set and intended to chase it out, much to Lightning's despair. He still looks forlornly at the location of the den every time he's in the area, hoping that Sniff made it out ok, and hoping that one day he can see his best friend again. Lightning has never forgotten him, and he feels that in his heart Sniff has not forgotten him either.

Clan: https://toyhou.se/Almondclans/characters/folder:2415695
Age: 14 moons
Kitty trying out for: B#270K2
Prompt:
Cinnamonsugar often in her youth dreamed of very fantastical events. Stranger still, when she strains to recall them, there always seems to a be a portion with uncanny resemblance to events that later came true... This would, in theory, make her viable for becoming an oracle, but her memory is... poor, when it comes to recalling her dreams, and she feels as though the clan would be better off with her as a full time hunter, as opposed to trying to decipher the meaning of fading fantasies.

Cat Name: Mapleleaf
Gender: Male
Rank: Scout
Clan: https://toyhou.se/Almondclans/characters/folder:2415695
Age: 75 moons
Kitty trying out for: MYO#305
Prompt:
Mapleleaf is a common sight amongst those who travel near the cafes of the southmost streets of the city- though he is one of many, many cats who call the city their home, he is by far one of the most comfortable around twolegs and their establishments. It isn't rare to find cats riding the train, or stopping by local shops to drink at the water bowls left by kind twolegs, but theres still an air of caution dealing with them, as you never know when an encounter can turn dangerous. Mapleleaf, on the other hand, thrives as a sort of half-kittypet. Born into the clan, he found his true passion as a mascot for a local cafe as an apprentice, where he travelled to it on a dare to see if he could steal some delicious ham straight from behind the counter. The twolegs running the place seemed very charmed by this, and lovingly nicknamed him "Little Thief", shortened to "Lilil" after time. He eventually became such a regular there that he took up permanant residence upon approval by the at-the-time leaders Egg and Dapplestar to become a scout. Though he still goes by his warrior name in professional settings, even his clanmates can't help but purr the name "Lilil" in excitement when he comes by for his biweekly report.

Cat Name: garmist
Gender: male
Rank: warrior
Clan: yukonclan
Age: 30 moons
Kitty trying out for: #2731
Prompt:

Garmist wasn't always a warrior of yukonclan. he did not always serve the legion and fight for the liberation of the claws. There was once a time when he lived a quiet life, in a mountainside human home. It was here that he spent his beginning, and it was here that he made friends with the only companion he knew: maneki.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx────

He awoke to Maneki's prodding. "Come on you Fishbone, It's garden time." she cooed. The young kit snapped his eyes open, on his feet instantly. "What did you just call me?" He squeaked his mock outrage but bounded out of his soft nest and down the cat tree, dashing after the older female. "I call you a fish, Gar. That's what you are, silly." Gar shook his little head, overgrown ears, and paws too large for his slowly growing frame. He tumbled over them in his desire to get outside. He was the newest member of this household, Maneki had supposedly been here long before him. He still wasn't sure how old she was, but the molly had immediately taken him in and shown him what life was like with these humans she called her family.

The pair tromped outside into the garden. The humans would sometimes tend the plants and allow their cats room to wander under their supervision. Now that it was warmer, Gar and Maneki had been allowed out almost every day.

Gar clambered up the rusty old steps to the greenhouse and then used the greenhouse as a foothold onto the low stone wall that enclosed the back garden. He daintly wandered along it, only stopping when Maneki finally called for him. He stared out at the valley beyond, at the great mountains in the distance, and wondered just how vast the wilderness before them truly was. Maneki had said that it was dangerous, and too cold out there for pets, that it was best to stay inside with the hearth and the warmth of full bellies... but that didn't stop Gar from wondering what it might be like to live out there amongst the trees.

He felt Maneki settle down to sit beside him, raking her own eyes across the landscape fondly.

"It is a good view, isn't it." She commented quietly, turning her head to watch Gar. Gar nodded gently, his eyes filled with wonder.

"One day, I will see it all."

Maneki's throat rumbled with a soft laugh. "Will you, now?"
"Yes. I will travel across the mountains and swim in great rivers... I will fill my belly and laugh under a moonlit sky." Maneki squinted into the distance, contemplating his words. "A big dream from someone so small, but who am I to deny you that?" She gave him a warm smile and then prodded his shoulder gently. "If I can help you achieve your dream, I will try. Even if I think leaving is silly." Gar pushed her back, laughing.

"It's not silly! If you wanted, you could even come too!" Maneki shook her head gently. "No, I would never leave the hearth. These humans need me as much as I need them. They are dear to me, even if I think they're stupid at times."

They both shared a laugh before Maneki continued. "I have heard rumors of cats who live like you desire to, who have made their home on the western side of the valley." She pointed it out with a paw quietly, a distance so far that Gar couldn't see anything but soft fog and the faint silhouette of mountains. "I will see what I can learn about them. Maybe some day, if your heart is truly set on leaving our home, then you can join them in hunting under the moon."

Gar smiled softly, the pull of adventure tugging at his heart. "It would be hard to leave you, Maneki."

"Nobody says you have to do it now, but someday it'll be easier. When you're ready to follow that adventure you dream of... for now? Let's go see if the humans will give us treats!"

Maneki bounced off the low stone wall, dashing towards their human who was tending the plants on the opposite side of the garden. Gar let out a surprised laugh and followed after her.

Someday he would leave, but tonight he would curl up with Maneki on the soft couch inside, and dream of a life among in the pines.

"hm? What do I like about myself?" The orange cat pondered for a moment, his paws crossing another over and over. "I... Suppose I like my... Looks? I am lucky to have beautiful fur. Honestly no, I don't like my looks." It became silent for a moment. "Oh I have a neat sock collection. You want to see? Oh two other things. I guess I love my orginization, aaaand.... Oh I have a great sense of humor. Wanna hear a joke? C'mon it's a good one. Here it goes. What's brown and skicky? A stick!"

Cat Name: melanie
Gender: female
Rank: tbd
Clan: softclan
Age: 27 moons
Kitty trying out for: B#191K2
Prompt: she stared around at the aftermath of the chaos. the bodies of enemy soldiers and groupmates alike lay on the ground of melione’s meadows, the grass already absorbing the spilt blood. the invisible sunne was long gone, and the ether was simply dark with a light from who knows where shining up there, covered by the eternal clouds.

everyone’s gone.
stars twinkled merrily, as if they were laughing over their deaths. and all around, there was no other cat. they all were limp on the ground, glazed gray eyes staring at nothing at all, while their mouths contorted in fury or horror.
wait. that was fico … the golden tabby ran over towards one chocolate body in particular. sure enough, it was him. all melanie could do was cry. cry about the life they could never have.

and as she looked around once more she saw she was the lone survivor of the battle. never would she see these cats alive and happy ever again. never again would she be able to nuzzle her fiancé’s fur or comfort her fellow groupmates. never again would these cats be alive to talk to her.

she was the lone survivor.
everyone else is dead.
the wind caressed her gentle fur.
she was alone while everyone else is dead.
she was the lone survivor.
and she felt oh so lonely.
