Secrets of the Clans

 * Featherwhisker is listed as a Significant Medicine Cat of ThunderClan. It explains that he was medicine cat under Sunstar, and also his brother. He was dedicated and kind, and he worked so hard to save his Clanmates from greencough that the exhaustion killed him. It was also revealed that his apprentice was Spottedleaf.

Bluestar's Prophecy

 * The first time he is seen, Featherwhisker finds Snowkit and Bluekit looking into Pinestar's den and sends them out, telling them he would have to report to Pinestar that they were in his den, because their scent was already in there and Pinestar would smell it. He takes them to the Elders' den and comments to Larksong that they were trying to make a nest in the leaders den. He stays for a while but leaves and Larksong tells the kits he is just teasing.


 * Featherwhisker is Goosefeather's apprentice. Early in the book, Goosefeather was somewhat lazy and Featherwhisker had to do most of the work in camp while his mentor laid in the sun out in the forest. Later, as Goosefeather's mind started to deteriorate he unofficially took over as medicine cat, even though Goosefeather had not yet joined the elders. When cats were sick or needed help, they would be sent to Featherwhisker instead of Goosefeather. After many cats need medical treatment, Dappletail comments that they are lucky to have Featherwhisker but no one speaks up for Goosefeather. Featherwhisker does not insult or defend his mentor.


 * He accompanied Sunfall to the Moonstone after Pinestar left the Clan, so that his brother may receive his nine lives and name.


 * When Spottedpaw becomes an apprentice, she is always helping Featherwhisker instead of doing her warrior duties. Later he takes her on as an apprentice after Goosefeather retired from being medicine cat as Spottedpaw begged Sunstar to let her be the apprentice medicine cat. He is also seen with Bluefur when she gives birth, showing her how to help a she-cat give birth. He tells Spottedpaw that some queens are crankier when kitting then others. He helps Bluefur get the kits breathing and gives her herbs.


 * When Sunstar dies, he takes Bluefur to the Moonstone to get her nine lives and new name.


 * Later, he is said to have died during a greencough epidemic, a sickness that also took one of Bluestar's lives. Spottedleaf then become ThunderClan's sole medicine cat.
