With the chilly autumn air comes a light breeze flooding over the clans. Prey is out in full force, collecting food to store for the winter so the bounty is plentiful... for now.
The leaves on OwlClan's trees are changing into beautiful colors, but not falling. Their temperature is cool, but they are not hindered by breeze.
FloodClan and MoorClan will have to deal with frigid waters, though, as they hunt their fish and run to and from camps.
BlazeClan is still experiencing heat-waves through the day, but at night, their temperatures are plummeting. The breeze is kicking up the sand on the desert, making for a hazardous trek. BlazeClanners are going to be doing a lot of under-ground sleeping, I bet.
It's Leaf-Fall!
The Hunters
The cats of owlclan are thick and brawny, easily the largest of the clans. They reside in hallowed out tree holes and trees whose roots have lifted off of the ground. These cats are great at hunting in the dark and are most active in the night because of this. The forest around them provides a thick shade and hardly lets the sun shine through their thick leaves save winter. Consequently, the cats here have built up thick coats, evolution told them it was chilly.
The Agile
FloodClan has adapted nicely to their rich, green, stream-filled environment. This sleek group of cats is quick on its feet and can turn on a dime. They each have a thick undercoat, but look slim and sleek with a shiny, stream-line outer coat. Their camp is the closest to the Tall Tree and Giant Rock, and can be entered only by crossing the stream. They are said to be the most peaceful of all the clans while still being separated from the others. One might call them elitist.
The Strong
There is no way around calling MoorClan cats the strongest. They are short, low to the ground, compact cats with thick muscles. They are slow, but because of their unique, muddy environment, are able to move around more quickly than a weaker, faster cat. They have large paws good for walking on top of surfaces narrow-footed cats might get stuck in, and are usually brown in color. These cats, however, have a secret.
The Workers
BlazeClan never gets a break. Living mostly underground, these cats have to dig their camp's tunnel systems constantly. They work around the clock looking for food that is hard to find in the desert-like, dry environment. They eat mostly frogs that are out at night, by the lake, and lizards that scurry around. There is no doubt that they are tough, as they are never given the easy life, and fierce just like their fiery landscape.
The Untrustworthy
Most cats do not trust the outside cats. Whether they come from the city, from the suburban kitty-pet dwellings, or are simply loners on their own, all outsiders get scrutinized heavily. Sometimes, city cats will enter the forest and realize how different it is from the streets. Here, cats work together. But don't underestimate the single power of one city cat, kitty-pet, or loner because that's when they get you.
