Shorty

Shorty is a brown tabby tom with a stub for a tail and amber eyes.

Firestar's Quest

 * Shorty is a rogue that helps Firestar search for Sandstorm when they are separated on the journey to rebuild SkyClan. He is also a friend of Cora, Stick, Snowy, and Coal, who are all other rogues.


 * Later, he runs into Sandstorm when she is caught by some Twoleg Kits, and helps her escape by distracting the Twolegs. When telling the story, he describes Sandstorm's jump over the fence "as if she sprouted wings". Shorty remarks that Sandstorm had the same sort of scent as Firestar. He offers to show Firestar where he met Sandstorm, but Cora insists that Firestar rests that night. Shorty promises to take Firestar there in the morning, although Firestar sleeps until sunset.


 * He guides Firestar through the Twolegplace to the place where he meets Sandstorm, a place where young Twolegs live. He points out where Sandstorm left the Twoleg garden from, and suggests that they follow the fence when Firestar can no longer smell Sandstorm's scent. When the ThunderClan leader is attacked by a tortoiseshell kittypet, Sandstorm shows up just then and saves him from the kittypet, and Shorty comes to see if Firestar had found her.


 * Afterward, he shows the two cats the best way back to the river. Shorty reckons Firestar and Sandstorm are up to something where they might need all the luck they can get.

SkyClan's Destiny

 * Shorty is first seen in SkyClan's Destiny when he is intruding on SkyClan territory with Stick, Cora, and Coal.
