General picture of the world

The action takes place in a wooded area where wild cats**live, organized into four tribes><><. (people) whose settlements and roads sometimes invade the cat world.

Structure of society: four tribes

Cats are divided into <a i="4">four tribes<a i="5">, each with its own territory, traditions and "specialization":

1. <a i="6">ThunderClan<a i="7"> - Lives in a mixed forest, famous for its agility and ability to hide in the bushes.
2. <a i="8">River tribe<a i="9"> — lives near water (rivers, lakes), masters of swimming and fishing.
3. Wind Tribe*- Inhabits the open moorlands, distinguished by speed and endurance.4.*<a i="12">ShadowClan<a i="13"> - Keeps in dark, dense forests and swampy lowlands, known for stealth and the ability to fight in dense thickets. <a i="14">Hierarchy in the tribe:<a i="15">

• <a i="16">Leader<a i="17"> - leads the tribe, receives "nine lives" from StarClan.
• <a i="18">Herald - Deputy leader, organizes patrols and hunting.
• Healer - heals cats, communicates with StarClan, knows herbs and omens. Healer's apprentice - helps the healer heal cats, the future healer is trained to know the herbs of diseases and help
• Warriors - guard the territory, hunt, raise kittens.
• Apprentices are apprentices of warriors, undergo training.
• Queens are cats who carry or raise kittens.
• Elders are elderly cats who have retired.

StarClan

SWEAR WORDS OF WARRIOR CATS:Mousehead is an analogue of "fool" or "stupid". Mouse droppings are a strong insult, like "spawn", "nonentity Fox droppings" are even coarser than "mouse droppings". The snake's tongue is about a cat that lies, betrays, and speaks evil. Fox Heart / Fox Soul is a cruel, heartless cat. This is often the name given to those who betray the tribe or kill for no reason. Fish-Face - Name-calling for RiverClan cats. It is used as a mockery of their smell and way of life. The prey for crows is a threat like "I'll make a corpse out of you" They say before a fight or in a rage. Mouse food is for a weak, helpless cat, especially a domestic one. Cowardly Mouse / Cowardly Chick - Taunt a coward. Beehead – friendly, but still offensive: "stupid as a bee". Thorns and thorns are an analogue of "That's the Devil", "Christmas Trees-Sticks" Frog droppings and fish intestines are the curse of the River Tribe. God forbid the stars - like "God forbid" To make a badger out of a molehill is to exaggerate, like "to make a mountain out of a molehill".

Fighting techniques: Rear Kick Kick your opponent with your hind legs, shifting your weight to your front paws. Allows you to catch the enemy off guard - it is important to calculate the distance correctly. Combing the abdomen Slash the enemy's belly with your claws - this will quickly stop the fight and incapacitate him. Front paw strike A strong blow to the head with retracted claws (frontal attack). Front-paw glancing slash A slashing slash along the body or across the muzzle with claws out. Fatal bite A quick, silent bite from behind to the neck. It is used only as a last resort - it is considered dishonest. Jump with a hook Jump on your opponent's back and grab with your claws - this will put you out of reach of his paws and will be able to inflict wounds. Suitable for small warriors against large opponents and groups of squires. Remember to bounce in time. Fighting in pairs Partners instinctively cover each other's backs, parry blows and deliver synchronized blows - this makes the pair a dangerous opponent.

Initiation into the Squire Initiation Ceremony: The leader summons the tribe and summons the future squire and mentor to the Rock, announces their new names, and assigns the mentor the duty to train the apprentice. The mentor then touches the squire's nose with his nose, a symbolic gesture after which the entire tribe congratulates the new apprentice by shouting his name. When changing the name, the diminutive suffix can be replaced by "lap" (for cats) or "paw" (for cats), or a completely new name is given (for example, Fern, Scratch). Names: Kittens: can be called only diminutives of a bird, a cane Warriors: can be called by any other than the lesser caressing and except for bloody names, bloody names are of the type: "bloody call" Can be used both in the feminine gender as in the masculine for example, for a cat: blackberry For the elders, for the most part, they are chosen from their species by type: crooked, paddle-eared, Old leaf
