Whiteclaw's Tale - Chapter 14

Longswoop and Hawkeye were crying out in pain. Lionstripe turned towards the elders' den, "Excuse me for a moment Whitepaw I need to go and check on the elders." She raced away. Suddenly an angry yowl errupted near the elders' den. It was Darkfinch, Russa padded towards the den to see what had caused her brother to yowl in such anger with Whitepaw at her side the two cats pushed their way  into the den. "Who was in charge of feeding the elders" asked Cinderstar. "It was my apprentice, I told him to feed the elders' before we went out for training this morning." Spat Darkfinch. "What is wrong?" Called Olivia padding into the den. "It is the mice that Hawkeye and Longswoop ate," said Lionstripe from the side of the nest. "The mice had been tampered with, there were death berries or no star feed as we call it in the mices' belly. Hawkeye and Longswoop started to eat the mice without a second thought when they realized something was wrong with the mice." Lionstripe pawed the mice over to show the cats the bright red berries hidden in the mices fur. "There is no known cure for the no star feed, as soon as a cat eats the berries the cat is sent into the air its spirit gone forever  and the cat will never see the stars above its head again." Said Cinderstar sadly. "What usually happens to the cat who gives the prey out or gives the berry to the other cat." asked Olivia. "Well it depends, if the cat themselves ate the berry then nothing would happen but if another cat fed the other cat then that cat would be banished from the clan never to return." said Cattail. "So you are going to banish Whitepaw from the clans forever just because he just made a mistake?" asked Princess who had just come up on the scene a few moments ago. "Well that mistake took the lives of 2 of his own clan mates, it doesn't matter if it was an accident or not." said Darkfinch. "What if you could save the cats would Whitepaw be allowed to stay in the clan?" asked Rissa. "Well yes, but there is no cure for the no star feed," said Frozenmint the medicine cat apprentice. "Just by looking at the two cats they might have only a few more moments, to live here." said Cinderstar slowly. Suddenly Rissa had a great idea. "Olivia remember when you ate that weird mushroom?" Olivia considered before nodding, "I remember that mushroom turned out to be poisonous, but we found the cure for it, maybe that cure will work for these cats." "We can try it," said Lionstripe doubtfully.  "Princess remember the clump of herbs that we saw on the way here, we gave that to Olivia when she was sick." Princess nodded, "I will go and get some." "Lionstripe I will come to your den to create something out of the herbs that you have here," said Rissa. "Hurry," called Frozenmint "you may have less then an half of an hour to try to save them."

Whiteclaw's Tale - Chapter 13

"I never lied to anyone. Besides I am not the traitor you are. I protect my family with my life. I would never attack the cat that raised me, but you would because you are the traitor." Snarled Rissa. "I would never wish harm to the cat who raised me, I only wish harm to my enemies." She snapped. "Who are your enemies though?" Growled Darkfinch, "If you are from the dark forest then your family is your enemy so even though you only wish harm to your enemies and not your mother you may be wishing harm to your mother because she is your enemy." Hissed Darkfinch. "Your mother," asked Rissa. "So she isn't your mother anymore either?" She snarled. Darkfinch narrowed his eyes at his sister. "Remember move to attack anyone and I go straight home," she snapped at him. He eyed his sister warily before padding to the warriors den and settling down for the night. Whitepaw padded over to his mentor, "Darkfinch what are we doing for training tomorrow," he asked. "We aren't doing anything," his mentor replied, "you are staying here, and looking after the elders as a punishment for going on speaking to Princess. You will keep that up until I feel that you have learned your lesson." Darkfinch snarled at his apprentice. Whitepaw nodded, and then he padded away to his den. The next day Whitepaw woke up very early and he went to see the elders. Cattail, Hawkeye, Longswoop, Inkfur, and Oceanear were all awake. "Do you need anything?" asked Whitepaw. Hawkeye turned to him and nodded, "Longswoop and I would like a mouse or two," he said. Inkfur looked over at him and spoke, "I need some new moss and bracken to line my nest if you don't mind," she told him. Oceanear and Cattail said, "If you can go to Lionstripe and get some mouse-bile soaked moss then we can get rid of the ticks." Whitepaw nodded and wandered away. He headed towards the fresh kill pile and grabbed to fresh plump mice in his teeth. He set the mice down near Hawkeye and Longswoop and padded towards the medicine den. "Lionstripe? Are you home?" He called. Lionstripe pushed her way between the lichen that hung from the top of the cave sepertaing the medicine den from her living quarters. "Yes Whitepaw what do you need," she asked. That was when  a cry from the elders den startled them.

The first time we had to put my pet cat Hector in his carrier was extremely easy. It was very unuasual, my dad had bought the carrier on the way up north and when we were heading home Hector had to be put in his carrier. Hector is half main coon, (currently) 18 ish pounds and is very strong. It is always very hard to get him in his carrier because he is so strong but this time he went in the carrier when my dad threw a feather into the carrier.

Cat Fact #30

Cats have lived a long time ago, not as long as dinosaurs but plenty long. Cats have lived 30 million years ago. Some cats say that wolves are the ancestors of modern day domestic dogs, so that must mean that big cats are the ancestors of modern day domestic cats. It is uncertain whether the cat that lived 30 million years ago was a big cat or a modern day domestic cat. However what is known is that, the earliest ancestor of the domestic cat Proailurus (first-cat in greek) lived over 30 million years ago.

As you know cats can run, and the cheetah is the fastest cat in the world. As most cats have retractable claws, claws that are out when a cat is pouncing but in when they are running, a cheetah has claws that are out all the time.
