Naming Of The Cats

The Warrior Cats of the novel have a very distinct way of naming their clan cats. For each group of cats (the clans, the tribes, kittypets, etc) it is different, but here we will only cover the clans and kittypets, as we do not have tribes on the board. (Yet...) SO. Please take a look at this before registering, especially if you have not read the novels yet!

CLANS:
  • The clans give their cats two-word names. At birth, the parents will pick the first section of the name, and will usually pick something that describes their kit. For example, Firepaw was named as such because of his firey-colored pelt. Graykit for his gray pelt. You can name cats after their coloring, markings, personalities, etc. This first part of their name will stick with them their entire life.

    The second part of their name usually references their status in the clan. For the kits who are just born, up to the age of six moons, they are titled 'kit'. So Graykit, Squirrelkit, etc. For the apprentices, it is paw. (Graypaw, Squirrelpaw, etc.) Now, the warriors do not have a specific title to their name, but are given a final name by their clan leader. This name usually describes the cat in personality, abilities or looks. Previous names have been Fireheart, Squirrelflight, Graystripe, Tigerclaw, Jayfeather, Mousefur, etc. Please keep in mind when you are naming your cats, to keep to words that the cats would actually know. Aka, no Polarglacier, no Fairysparkle, etc.

    If you have a question about naming your cat, or need to know if a name is appropriate, PLEASE don't hesitate to ask! We'd rather you ask rather than us have to tell you once you've finished your application and have based everything upon a name we cannot accept. Cause that wouldn't be fun!

KITTYPETS:
  • Kittypets are the cats that you and I own, and so, they might have more common names than their clan counterparts. While we don't intend to have many kittypets on this board, we figured we should cover this anyhow. PLEASE be cautious with your kittypet names. We're fine with common human names, like Henry, Princess, etc, but please don't go naming your cat after Yugi or Pikachu. Again, if you have doubts, ASK.

A final note. For the clan cats, please make sure you sign up as the name your cat CURRENTLY has. If you have an apprentice cat, make sure their name ends with paw. As your cat becomes a warrior, we will change your username so that they are titled properly.
