Cat Name: Driftingleaf
Gender: trans female she/her
Rank: warrior
Clan: Rushingclan
Age: 14 moons
Prompt: angora rabbit

Driftingleaf paced around camp, checking the stones and brush around the camp for places that might have needed patching. She was carful to not miss any spots so when she went and grabbed the supplies from camp she left no area weak or unattendable. The clan had been haaving some trouble with small prey animals getting in and chewing at the leaves and nesting in the bushes so Shadowstar had asked her to fix it. She had her face next to the wall, only inches away sniffing for an odd scent when a rabbit jumped practicallimg in her face. They didnt have rabbits though, not so close the the river. It mustve been from the twoleg place. They both seemed to look at eachother with amusment and curiosity. Somehow, Driftingleaf thought it would be ok to take this one home. She stepped back and the rabbit hopped forward with her. She started striding and the rabbit hopped next to her at an even pace. Her dappled face lit up and sge started going a bit faster. The bunny quickened its pace at her side.
She stepped into camp with more caution. When Shadowstar saw her with her new companion from across the camp she gave the young she-cat a bemused grin and a nod. Driftingleaves was overjoyed by the leaders approvale. She stared at the bunny with its thick white fluff. "I think ill call you Drift! Like the snow in the winter".
Now she has a companion to follow her around camp while she finishes her tasks and somthing soft to cuddle to sleep

Cat Name: Corey
Gender: She-Cat
Rank: Collector
Clan: Wanderers of The Bay
Age: 2 years
Prompt: Corey's friend is a Black Racer, which is a nonvenomous snake that can live on beaches!

Corey was recently a stray when he met the snake, accidentally stepping on it when it was small, but not enough to injure.

Crouching down, the she-cat stared at the small snake, noticing the poor thing had a kink in the lower end of its tail. She hummed, concerned. A snake with a kink wouldn't survive for long, and the torbie understood feeling helpless at times.

Letting out a hum, she gently lifted the snake and placed him onto her back, taking the responsibility of taking care of a disabled.. pet on her own.

"Let's get you something to eat.. How does the name Connie sound?"

Cat Name: Moonstream
Gender: She-cat
Rank: Healer apprentice
Clan: Sunclan
Age: 13 moons
Prompt: Moonstreams companion is a mountain bluebird!
It was hard to find herbs in leaf-bare, and we have barely enough to last us until the end of leaf-bare, Moonstream thought. Only finding a bit of tansy that was starting to die. Suddenly she heard a sound, it was coming from behind the bush, her pelt was bristling. Cautiously she peered over the bush only to see a blue-feathered bird stuck in some brambles. Suddenly feeling a pang of sympathy for the poor bird.

She knew that the bird was prey, but she didnt care. times are rough, for her clan and this bird. She approached carefully as she didn't want to disturb the bird. She started to untangle it, then finally the bird flew away, only to come back a few moments later with a clump of catmint in its beak. She was ecstatic! She gently grabbed the catmint and gave a nod of thanks. She started to walk away until she noticed the bird was following her. Then she got an idea, A very risky one "do you want to go home with me?" she asked. The bird just chirped cheerfully. "Hmmm... ill name you Sapphire, like the color of your feathers!" "now come on! lets go to your new home!"

Sapphire now likes to help gather herbs and go search for them, always happy to help out the clan that took him in.
Sapphire is a plump, small, blue colored bird.

Gender: tom [afab]

Clan: TreeClan
Age: 13 moons
Prompt:

He had grown up hearing the stories from his close friends. How dogs were the enemy, how he needed to stay away from them at all costs - they wouldn't hesitate to chase him, just for the fun of it. They were smelly, beastly, evil. ... right?

The first day that Winter, born a Kittypet near the edge of the forest that TreeClan calls home, met a dog, it was from a neighboring house. A new dog, in the usually dog-free cul-de-sac Winter and his family lived at. They didn't seem to be an ordinary family that was moving in; in fact, the dog seemed to be doing a job, helping the Twoleg walk around, rather than being walked by the Twoleg like Winter was used to seeing by visiting Twolegs and their dogs.

It was during the changing of Leaf-Fall to Leafbare that Winter met this newcomer officially, curiously jumping onto the bordering fence between his Twoleg's house the dog's house. He knew the Twolegs would put the dog outside around this time, and he wanted to talk to him. He waited with unblinking eyes as the dog trotted outside, the Twolegs talking to each other as they opened and closed the door. Winter watched for a few moments, letting the dog do what he needed, watching him sniff at the yard until he got closer to the fence.

"Hi there," Winter called out, flicking his tail in apprehensively. "I haven't seen you around here before - are you just visiting, or have you just moved in?"

The dog looked up, blinking, tail raising. Winter tensed for a bark, but the bark never came. "Hi," the dog called back calmly. "Nice to meet one of you finally! Your friends all seem a little... wary of me," the dog chuckled, tail starting a slow wag as he laughed at himself. "I'm just visiting with my human for a little bit, they're visiting their family! I'm Geo," he said, giving a slight nod.

"Winter," the cat responded, blinking in slight confusion. "I thought you'd be... well, I guess it doesn't matter. Nice to meet you, Geo," he purred, standing up straight. "Mind if I come down?"

"Not at all," Geo said, tilting his head. He watched as Winter made a graceful leap into the yard, dropping his front end into a strange gesture Winter had never seen before. The cat startled, ready to leap away. "Wait, I'm sorry!" Geo said, straigtening. "It's what we do - us dogs, anyway. It's how we play!" The dog dropped again, and Winter watched as Geo bounced around excitedly, trying to copy his movements. It was strange, but Winter felt... strangely happy to play with this dog.

When the Twolegs opened the door, they would share a laugh, a flash distracting Winter as a picture was taken. He was sure his Twolegs would be cooing at him about his behavior, and with an elated heart, he said goodbye to Geo as he was called back inside, already looking forward to their next meeting.

______________________________________________________________

Winter and Geo's friendship would last another couple of weeks, until bags were packed and it was time to say goodbye to a new friendship. As Winter decided a new life was in store for him in the forest, he still visited his old home from time to time, letting his Twolegs know he was still around, and hoping to catch a glimpse of his friend. As the seasons started changing again, he couldn't help but spend more time around the Twolegplace.

And Winter, now a full-fledged warrior of TreeClan named Winterdrift, had a lot to tell Geo next time he saw him. When the familiar scent of dog hit Winterdrift's nose, the cat waited on the fence border, prepping his best play bow to greet Geo with.

______________________________________________________________

Geo is a proud guide dog for his human, Piper. He is a young German Shepherd, his fur long and soft.

Cat Name: Timberfrost
Gender: female she/xem
Rank: caretaker/huntress
Clan: Aetherclan
Age: 4 and a half
Prompt: Timberfrost has managed to become close friends with a young, likely abandoned, fawn! Deer are quite common in these parts, but usually they stay away. While on patrol one day, however, they ran into a young fawn! The patrol was torn between killing the animal or trying to nurture it, as it seemed to be starving. Timberfrost took one look at the poor thing and felt a sense of mothering overcome xem. Xey stepped forward to be the one to provide for it. It was hard to get the young fawn to trust xem, but after a lot of love, patience, and dandelions, the fawn started to follow Timberfrost into camp! After a while, the fawn seemed to trust Timberfrost. The clan helped to build a den for the fawn, and Timberfrost stayed with it. A few months passed, and the fawn became a young stag. It is now the protector of the clan, accustomed to the life. At times, he will wander off, but the stag always returns. Timberfrost has lovingly nicknamed him Dandelion, in honor of the weed that tamed him. Aetherclan has started to see deer as a whole, but mainly young stags, as a sign of protection and care.
