Elder

An elder is a clan cat that has served his clan faithfully, but now has retired. An elder is usually an elderly cat, but sometimes a cat must retire early due to reasons beyond their control. Elders do not have to catch their own food, nor do hunting patrols or fight. Apprentices must catch and take food to the elders, and may not eat before they are fed. Elders share a den all to themselves, and have no chores that they must do. Apprentices also must bring them fresh bedding, and if they are stiff or sick, or is not able to get water for other reasons, then an apprentice must bring them moss soaked in water.
