Apprentice

An apprentice is a clan cat that is at least six moons old, but has not yet had it's Warrior Ceremony. An apprentice goes to train with his mentor whenever the mentor tells it to. ThunderClan apprentices go to the sandy training hollow. Apprentices also can go on hunting and border patrols with other cats of their clan. Apprentices cannot eat unless they have special permission, or the elders have already eaten. Apprentices do chores for the clan, too, such as changing the elders bedding when need be. Apprentices cannot leave the camp without their mentor's permission. If an apprentice breaks a rule, they usually have to go through the elders pelts for ticks, and if the find any, they then rub foul smelling mouse bile on the ticks, making them drop off. After the apprentice has completed his or her training, they go through their Warrior Ceremony, and become a full fledged warrior.
