- See also: Queens, a list of nursery queens and their kits.
Nurseries are dens in the Clan camp where queens and their kits live.[1]
Nursery queens care for all kits under six moons.
Description[]
- The nursery is usually the most protected den of all dens in a Clan camp.[2] In case of a raid, warriors and even elders and queens will do anything to protect it, sometimes sacrificing their lives.[3] Attacking a nursery is viewed to violate the warrior code, as kits and queens should not be harmed. However, this does not stop some camp raids from destroying a Clan's nursery.[4][5]
- She-cats move to the nursery shortly before giving birth, and stay there until their kits are apprenticed, after which they become warriors again.[6] The care of the kits is shared by all the queens.[1]
