Loner

Basic Information
These are cats who do not belong in any Clan but neither are looked after by Twolegs. They can sometimes be confused with rogues, but loners tend to keep to themselves and stay off Clan territory. Loners are more known for friendliness to Clan members. Most of the time they often stake a claim on an area around Clan territory. These places are often near Twolegs, such as on farms, abandoned homes or any sheltered area.

Some Clan members find others untrustworthy and inferior to the Clan-born, but others befriend loners on the off chance that they might be useful allies in the future.

In the Books
Loners are less common than kittypets and rogues, but are less likely to experience violence from Clan cats than either of the other classifications.

In the Original Series

 * Barley lives on a farm near the edge of WindClan territory that Clan cats often pass by on their way to HighStones. After Tigerclaw begins accusing Ravenpaw of numerous crimes, his friends Firepaw and Graypaw take him there to live with Barley in the Twoleg barn.


 * Later, Barley and Ravenpaw help Fireheart and Graystripe as they work to return WindClan from exile during Fire and Ice.


 * Ravenpaw also helps to negotiate peace between ThunderClan and WindClan during A Dangerous Path.


 * Both Ravenpaw and Barley end up fighting side-by-side with the Clans against BloodClan in The Darkest Hour.

In the New Prophecy Series

 * Ravenpaw made a brief appearance in Midnight, advising Brambleclaw and company to go to the sun-drown-place by confirming the existence of the dream-place in the real world.


 * Once the Clan cats arrive at the new territory they meet three loners called Smoky,Floss, and Daisy who live at Horseplace. They appeared to want to have little to do with the Clan cats.


 * Later, in Twilight, Daisy runs away (managing to end up in ThunderClan) after Floss's kits are taken away by the Twolegs that live near Horseplace. Her explanation was that she did not want to have her kits stolen as well.
