Adderkit

Adderkit is an underfed tom.

Cats of the Clans

 * Adderkit first appears in Cats of the Clans as a young kit.


 * Rock, an ancient healer, is in his cave when he realizes that someone's nearby. When he asks the mysterious stranger to come forward, Adderkit, Blossomkit, and Mosskit step into the moonlight. Rock comments that they're a long way from StarClan, and asks if they had strayed into the shadows at the edge of their territory. Without waiting for an answer, he comments that they must be surprised to be greeted by such a strange-looking cat. He then hushes them, telling them not to be scared. He promises to show them the way home in the morning, when light was there to show them the way. He then asks them to sit down on the cool cave floor.


 * Adderkit settles down next to Mosskit, and Rock immediately recognizes the underfed tom. He begins to comment on how Adderkit got his name, but is interrupted by Blossomkit. Loking them all over, he comments to himself that all three had never lived long enough to know about their Clanmates, their friends, or their rivals. He reminds them that there's price to be paid for being a kit forever.


 * Rock promises them that he'll tell them all about the Clanmates they'd left behind if they settled down, but that the night would not be long enough. There were many cats to talk about, far more than any of the three would ever know. They would have to wait in the cave for many moons to hear about them all. As he begins to name each Clan, the kits ask who he is. After telling them, he orders them to be still and to listen.


 * When talking about ThunderClan, Rock asks the kits if they had ever heard of the hunter's crouch. Later, when talking about Firestar, Adderkit points out that the ThunderClan leader was once a kittypet. But Rock points out that a kit's birth doesn't matter in the long run, and later reminds Adderkit that he should be thankful to Firestar for helping out WindClan so often.
