Cliffclan cats are the most adaptive of all the clans, making use of many different biomes in their territories. They hunt in the deep underbelly of their cave, dig for shrimp on the shore, chase after rabbits on the moor and swim out to sea to fish.
Camp time: There’s actually a bigger cave on a tunnel off shoot that's much bigger and has a rather large colony of bats. The nursery and medicine den are interconnected but not one. There's also a large colony of glow-worms that light the cave.
In the nursery, there's what is called a ‘kit ring’. It’s a very shallow pit that is too talll for young kittens to climb out but perfectly easy for mothers to climb out.
Leader: Longstar (5/9 lives)
Deputy: Whisperwing
Medicine Cat: Dustedoak, Nightpaw
Tradition time
Courting time: Courting cats will usually hang out together, hunt and patrol together. Quality time! Sometimes, they’ll dress each other in silk.
Battle time: Cliffclan cats will wash themselves in the camp pool before a border skirmish to bless themselves. Very few cats die after battle as they tend to have the most accomplished medicine cats and treatments.
Name time: Cliffclan cat will often name their kits not long after their born with their first impression, usually something ocean related
Rank Up time: When a cat reaches apprentice age, the medicine cat will mix up some berries to create a sort of paint so the cat can mark their paw print on a wall of history. When a cat reaches warrior hood, its tradition for them to dive to the bottom of the cave pool, or at least as far as they can get and resurface.
Story time: Legend tells of Cliffstar, who was allegedly originally a medicine cat who was led to the cave by starclan themselves who had lit up the pool.
Another legend tells of Lichenlight, another medicine cat who foretold a cave collapse and saved every cat by moving them to that side of the cave that they reside in now and was the first to treat cats using glow worm silk.
Extra time: Before apprentice age, queens will help their kits learn to swim by plopping them in the tiny stream that runs through the nursery. Once they conquer that, they’ll move into the cave pool.
Saying Time: For a clan meeting, a leader will call ‘Gather beneath I, all cats for who the glow comforts” which is a really outdated way of gathering all cats who sleep on glowworm silk nests as kits sleep on moss beds.
