Rogue

Rogues are stray cats who don't belong in any Clan, but are not taken care of by Twolegs either.

Definition
There is controversy about the definition of rogues and loners:
 * The Original Series and Secrets of the Clans state that "rogue" refers exclusively to exiled Clan cats.
 * Most other books imply that rogues are cats living on their own who are hostile to Clans and disrespect their ways and territories.
 * Some books, such as Firestar's Quest, call every cat living on their own a "rogue," even if they are not hostile.

Description
Rogues are usually aggressive and do not respect the warrior code, unlike loners. Cats who are banished from their Clan usually live as rogues. They sometimes trespass on Clan territories to steal from them; if they are caught by a patrol, they are chased out or fought. Even though they live in bands, they can turn on their own kind for selfish reasons.

Sometimes a group of rogues may raid a Clan, such as when Tigerclaw led a group of exiled cats and had them attack the ThunderClan camp, or when a group of rogues attacked the Tribe of Rushing Water.
