Cat Name: Winterflame
Gender: Female
Rank: Permanent Queen [by choice]
Clan: Thistleclan
Age: 60 Moons
Prompt:
Winterflame sighed. It was a cool summer day, the hills bright with life. Winterflame was welcomed back into the clan after leaving, but she couldn't help but feel out of place. She left everyone here to chase after some tom who ended up breaking her heart. She felt awful. But she had to stay strong, because she needed to take care of her son, Quailkit. She loved her son to pieces, but couldn't help but see his father's face in those kitten blue eyes.

She was brought back to reality when footsteps approached the nursery. "Snworush! How are you?" she greeted her brother. The nuzzled eachother. "I'm doing great! And how's the little tom?" he asked, gesturing towards the kit who was chasing butterflies outside. The kit realized who it was and ran inside, dancing around his feet, making happy mewls. Snowrush bent down to give the kit a swift lick, smiling in the process.

"He's doing great." she paused. "Snowrush, I can't thank you enough for making a case for us. I don't know where I'd be without you."

Snowrush sighed. "Don't worry about it. We're littermates, and I will always be here for you."

"Thank you."

Gender: Male
Rank: Kit -> Medicine Cat Apprentice -> Medicine cat
Clan: Thistleclan
Age: 5 moons
Prompt:

Quailkit sat by his mothers stomach. She was staring away into nothingness. Again.

Even though he's only a kit, the grief and melancholy feelings radiated off of his mother. He couldn't help but internalize these feelings. Was it him? Did he do something wrong? He sighed and laid down. Even though he just took a nap, he felt tired and wanted to sleep more.

The next morning after his meal, he walked outside of the den. His mother had gone to eat something, and he wanted to take a peek out of the den. He marched on over to the den's entrance, and inconspicuously peeked around the corner. His mother sat by the prey pile, eating with Snowrush, his mothers littermate. Being the nosy kit he is, he couldn't help but overhear the words "my son", "reminds me of him" and "I'm not sure what to do."

He took a step back. Are they talking about me? Oh...

His mother returned to the den, and Quailkit jumped.

"I'm sorry sweetie, here, let me groom you. The day's only just begun and you already look like a pinecone."

"I love you Quailkit. Don't forget that ok?"

Hm...

[beebun]

mark... maybe a unwelcoming rouge who found the kitten lost who wanted the kitten gone, not realizing that it could not survive on its own. his heart warmed after the kitten followed him around everywhere.. the two have become like father & daughter.
also I was wondering if it was 200 words for each cat, or just for the whole entry? ^^ <33

cat name: Sunfire
gender: molly
age: 36 moons
rank: angel


(some info/backstory: "angels" are cats born with special abilities. their mothers never survive birthing them.)

sisters locked gazes; twin pairs of blue eyes looked to one another— but the mood in both were distinctly different.
her sister looked as innocent and as loving and as patient as ever, but sunfire's stare was an intense one. you could
see the pain behind her eyes. oh, how she was burdened by her knowledge, her sight! sunfire's stomach churned at
the thought of telling her kin the fate that destiny had laid before her, but it had to be done nonetheless. and so,
sunfire whispered the words that would change everything.

"i'm afraid you're not going to survive the pregnancy."

the sister immediately adopted a look of worry. 'what? why? how do you know?' were all questions she had, burning
in her mind among many others. but she didn't voice any of her curiosities, because she could feel it too. her son
would take her life.

***

"didn't your mother also die of birth complications?" the tom asked, wearing-looking and depressed. he was ridden
with grief after losing his mate, of course.

"she did."

"and... you're sure that none of my children survived?" he whispered, his voice breaking.

sunfire shook her head sadly. "i'm sorry." [196 words]

but one did survive. the kit cried out,

wip

this was insane. but her sister's words echoed through her mind.

"he's someone like you, isn't he?"

"yes, sister, he is."

"i fear his father will kill the child if what you say is true."

wip

tl;dr they are aunt and nephew. after her sister died, sunfire stole the kit from his father (in fear of him hurting him because of his abilities) and took him to desert falls. she has raised him there as a single mother ever since.

Prompt:
Sunglare and his sister, Berrykit, have wandered for moons looking for a permanent home. Poor Sunglare was abandoned at birth and ran away, he had run through the forest and somehow, moons later came across Berrykit huddled over his mother with a heart-broken expression. His mother had seemed to drown with her other siblings after being chased by rabid dogs. He took her under his wing and protected her after that whole situation. Berrykit and Sunglare bonded over time and wander together, still searching for a forever home. Eventually, they stumble upon Tansypetal and she greets them into her seaside cave den welcomely and thus they found their new home where they were accepted and cared for.

Cat Name: Flashfire
Gender: Male
Rank: Sharpclaw (warrior)
Clan: Lightclan
Age: 67 moons
Prompt: Flashfire was a dependable Sharpclaw. He had joined Lightclan at around the same time as Wind and Silent, two kittens that were recently adopted into the clan by Silentstalk and Windchaser.
The flame point tom was still learning the customs of his new home, but he was already becoming fiercely protective of his clanmates. Thus, he happily went for a short patrol to the far border. It was a problem area for Lightclan as that was the one link to the mainland where the twolegs and city cats lived.
Flashfire deeply inhaled, on the alert for any odd scents. He jerked back in surprise, however, when a unique smell hit his nose. He hadn't expected to actually stumble into trouble.
Nose wrinkled, Flashfire tentatively made his way to the origin of the scent. It was most certainly a cat...one from the city. Which was odd, considering just how far they were.
He stalked around a tree, where the scent was the strongest; claws unsheathed as he prepared to defend Lightclan's territory.
A soft mewl caught the tom's attention. He peered between the roots of the tree, where he could just barely make out the shape of...a kitten?

Cat Name: Flash -- Flashclaw -- Cricketleap (different naming traditions)
Gender: Male
Rank: Youngling (kit)
Clan: Lightclan
Age: 5 moons
Prompt: Flash bounded up to his dad, Flashfire, his kitten-blue eyes gleaming. He didn't remember a day that didn't include Flashfire, even if the sharpclaw wasn't really his kin.
At five moons old, Flash had been given his adopted father's name to carry. He felt a swell of pride every time someone called him by his name, which reminded him of his father.
"Flashfire! You're back! Wind and Silent showed me how to crouch like a swiftclaw!" Flashfire smiled patiently at his kit and nuzzled the top of his head. "Really? That's so cool, can I see?"
Flash nodded exuberantly and dropped instantly into a hunting crouch. Flashfire chuckled warmly at the youngling's antics but didn't bother correcting his posture. Let the kitten have fun.
"Isn't that awesome! Maybe I'll be a swiftclaw!" Flashfire smiled. "Maybe. you can do whatever you put your mind to, little one." Flash grinned happily at his father's words of encouragement.
Flash's smile faded at Flashfire's sad gaze. He didn't understand the problems older cats faced, but he knew he was putting a burden on Flashfire, who wasn't his 'real' dad. Why did Flashfire deal with him? Maybe, one day, he'd find the courage to ask.

Cat Name: Emberdawn
Gender: She-cat
Rank: Gatherer
Clan: LagoonClan
Age: 24 moons
Prompt: Emberdawn found the poor creature drenched from nose to tail tip one frigid Leaf Bare morn. It must have been wandering around in the cold, slipped into the lagoon, and attempted to claw its way out. Hypothermia had taken control and the puzzled Gatherer tried to lick its fur the wrong way to warm it up. Emberdawn quickly gave up and snatched the frail thing to bring it to LagoonClan's Healer, Maplefeather. The fluffy she-cat quickly clothed it in thick leaves, chewed up some herbs, and tried to nurse it back to health for several days. Throughout the days, Emberdawn stayed by the poor thing's side, worrying up a storm. Eventually, the kit woke up and first thing, saw Emberdawn. It shivered and mewed all while being comforted by its new best friend, the cat who had saved it.

Cat Name: Aspen --> Aspenkit --> Aspenfur
Gender: She-cat
Rank: Kit --> Hunter
Clan: LagoonClan
Age: 4 moons
Prompt: Aspen, soon to be named Aspenkit, was jauntily walking around the crystal clear lagoon in the middle of Winter. She was practically jumping from mossy stone to mossy stone. Suddenly, her paws gave out from under her, and she fell into the icy claws of the water. Losing consciousness, the kit could do nothing to stop what was happening around her. The creature awoke with a start, still, absolutely ice cold. She inhaled a lungful of liquids and frantically clawed through the murk until her claws caught onto the slippery bank. Aspen used all her might to haul her soaked body out of the water and promptly spat out as much icy liquid as possible. There, she finally let her mind wander. She vaguely noticed she remember nothing of her past life. Then she barely felt a jaw on her scruff, leaves on her body, and a quiet mumbling next to her ear, reassuring her it was going to be ok.

She sat straight up, inhaling as much as possible. Aspen looked around and saw a curious orange cat. The kit instantly knew that she was the one that saved her. Aspen leaped into the cat and snuggled close to her. She had found a friend.

Prompt: one day when bluekit was very little, a rather grumpy-looking tomcat has peaked his head into the queens' den and bluekit had looked up at him with her bright blue eyes. "are you a warrior?", she had asked him in excitement and jumped up, "what's your name? can you show me some fighting tricks? have you ever beaten a fox? what is it like to be a warrior? tell me! tell me!" flamewing has looked at her pretty exhausted mother and after recieving her permission, the warrior has taken her out of the den, letting her mother get some rest and letting the small kitten explore the camp with his supervision. the little kit has since made a new friend, she follows the warrior everywhere he goes within the camp and bugs him with questions.

Prompt: flamewing always acts as if she annoys him to no end by rolling his eyes or speaking in a cold tone but deep inside, he knows that the little vivid kitten has made her way to his heart and sometimes even a little smile decorates his face or his whiskers twitch in amusement. he hopes to be able to be her mentor once she's old enough because he wants to teach her all he knows and finally show her the world outside she wants to see so desperately.

Age: 4 Moons
Prompt:
Bright blue orbs twitched in annoyance at the pitter-patter of small paws behind them and the molly stopped abruptly only to be met with a force ramming into her legs followed by a grunt. Leaf's gaze turned to meet the culprit, Light, they had a dopey grin on their face causing a sigh to escape Leaf's mouth. If she had known saving the kit would result in them following her around maybe she would of let one of the prey-hunters she had been with save them from drowning in the stream but no, she just had to of been the quickest to jump into action at the sight of a small form disappearing beneath the water.

Leaf was known as one of the more antisocial cats of the tribe and now her tribemates have begun to tease her about her friend. Even with her attempts to toss the kits affection onto someone else, the kit followed her whenever she was in camp no matter what.

The she-cat took her position at the entrance of camp and soon felt the kit snuggling into her, a foreign warmth soon spread through her.

well, I guess they can stay a little while longer

Username: bmkmb
Cat Name: Bromeliadwicker
Gender: male
Rank: Caracara
Clan: CaladiumClan
Age: 18 moons
Prompt: [198/200]

The flame lynx hated kittens. Simple enough. Since the Caladium was a tightly knit group, he still had to deal with them; however, no one ever said that he needed to treat the bouncy brats nicely.

Once, Bromeliadwicker snapped at a young one. The thing sniffled, eyes teared up, then ran off.

Not long after, he found its denmate sitting stubbornly in his nest. How the brat got there, he would never know.

“What did you do?” the kitten asked. Its voice sounded so soft, so tender yet protective and accusing.

“...what?” Bromeliadwicker uttered.

The kitten clarified, “To Kernelkit. He was sad. He said that a bad cat yelled at him, but Kernelkit doesn’t get sad easily.” With a somewhat forceful tone, the kitten queried, “What did you say to him?”

“I…” what had he said? And then—oh. Ouch. He wouldn’t wish those words on an adult, let alone a kit. Hm. That… “That’s none of your business, brat. Now scram.”

The kitten (really, what was his name?) pursed his lips. “No.”

“No?”

“Not until you apologize.”

The flame lynx never did apologize, and so the kitten, true to his negation, shadowed Bromeliadwicker like a ghost ever since.

Cat Name: Temporalkit
Gender: male
Rank: Parakeet
Clan: CaladiumClan
Age: 4 moons
Prompt: [199/200]

Temporalkit really didn’t like bullies, so when he heard that some raptor hurt Kernelkit’s feelings, the seal point jumped at the chance to avenge his friend.

Yet, when the raptor refused to apologize… Well, that called for drastic measures.

For one, Temporalkit wouldn’t leave the adult’s nest.

He stayed there until his mama stalked into the den, grabbed him by the scruff, and told him to calm down and talk. Temporalkit told his mama exactly why he was being stubborn, and to his surprise, the seriama encouraged him to keep it up.

In the morning, she made sure to add. After all, good kittens needed their sleep.

Soon following the return of the dawn patrol, Temporalkit found the warrior and began to follow him. He followed him (his name was Bromeliadwicker, the kitten learned later) to the fresh-kill pile, then to the training grounds, then he tried to follow him outside of camp.

His mama caught him and forced him to stay, but the best thing happened: Condorstar wouldn’t let the adult leave either! Something about humoring and getting over things or something.

It’s been two full sunrises and Bromeliadwicker still hasn’t apologized, but Temporalkit won’t ever give up.
