To break these rules would mean a terrible punishment for a clan cat...it would be good for you to know them if you wish your cat to live happily.
Rule Number One: Every cat should defend his or her Clan, even at the cost of their life.
Rule Number Two: A cat should not trespass or hunt on another Clan's territory. If a patrol catches them, they then have permission to chase them off their land.
Rule Number Three: Kits and elders should be fed first and unless they have special permission, apprentices cannot eat until the elders have all been fed.
Rule Number Four: Prey is not killed for sport. You should not kill anything unless someone plans on eating it. You must also give StarClan thanks for its life.
Rule Number Five: Kits must be six moons old in order to become an apprentice.
Rule Number Six: New warriors must sit a silent vigil, and watch over the camp while the others sleep. They cannot say a word, and must sit outside no matter what the weather is like.
Rule Number Seven: A Clan cat cannot become the deputy of their Clan without having mentored at least one apprentice.
Rule Number Eight: Should the leader of a Clan die or retire, the deputy shall replace the leader.
Rule Number Nine: If a deputy dies or retires, the leader must then choose a successor before moonhigh.
Rule Number Ten: Once every full moon, the Clans must have a Gathering with each other. There shall be no fighting among them during this time.
Rule Number Eleven: The Clan boundaries must be checked and marked by patrols daily. Also, if a patrol finds a trespassing cat, they must chase him off of their territory.
Rule Number Twelve: No warrior can ever ignore a kit in pain or danger. This rule applies even if the kit is from a different Clan.
Rule Number Thirteen: The word of a Clan leader is also the Warrior Code.
Rule Number Fourteen: An honorable cat does not kill in battle, unless the opposing cats are outside the Warrior Code, or if they have to kill in self-defense.
Rule Number Fifteen: A warrior rejects the soft life of a kittypet.
