Kittypet

A kittypet is the Clan cats' word for housecats, that Twolegs (humans) keep and care for.

Description
Kittypets are looked after and pampered by Twolegs. They are plump and well-fed because Twolegs feed them several times daily with dry, tasteless pellets that look like rabbit droppings and soft slop, according to the Clan cats. They are soft-muscled and know very little about the arts of fighting and hunting (with notable exceptions). At a certain age, they are taken to be neutered or spayed by the veterinarian, otherwise known to the Clan cats as the Cutter. After this visit, they usually become lazy and have no desire to do much.

The life of a kittypet is scorned by Clan cats, and it is against the Warrior Code for a warrior to become a kittypet.

Relation to Clan cats
Clan cats consider kittypets to be living in disgrace, taking food from Twolegs and living in a false comfort beyond the reach of StarClan. Kittypets are commonly considered "soft" or "stupid," and the term "kittypet" can be used as an insult such as, "You hunt like a kittypet," or "You fight like a kittypet," meaning that they cannot hunt or fight very well. Some forest cats believe that not only are kittypets inferior, they are treacherous and untrustworthy as well. One example of this is Longtail's quote which was said in Forest of Secrets when he heard that Fireheart and Graystripe were bringing food to RiverClan: "Traitors! Just what I would expect from a kittypet!" Most Clan cats use the familiar saying, "Once a kittypet, always a kittypet!"

Many Clan-born cats do not trust cats of kittypet blood, such as Cloudtail, Firestar, Millie, Daisy, Berrynose, etc.

In the Original Series

 * Rusty: Joined ThunderClan as Firepaw, and later became their leader, Firestar.
 * Smudge: A friend of Rusty's, who lives on the edge of the forest. Calls Clan cats "ruffians," and has no desire to leave his soft, comfortable life.
 * Princess: Sister of Firestar. Like Smudge, she has no desire to leave her comfortable life, but is very interested in learning about it. She is the mother of Cloudtail.
 * Cloudtail: Joined ThunderClan as a young kit. He took kittypet food from Twolegs in Rising Storm and was taken by them, but with help from Fireheart, he was rescued and returned to Clan life.
 * Henry: Old tabby that lives near Smudge and Rusty. He told Smudge stories of the forest and of the warriors, which described as "huge wild cats that eat live rabbits for breakfast and sharpen their claws on old bones." These stories led Smudge to warn Rusty before he entered the forest. Rusty thinks that Henry, since he went to the Cutter (the vet), is both lazy and boring.
 * Scourge: He was born as a kittypet under the name of Tiny. He ran away from home and became the leader of BloodClan.
