| "Owl Feather's kits came bouncing up, sniffing curiously at Chasing Clouds, then shrank back close to their mother as they caught the tang of blood." |

History[]
In the Power of Three arc[]
Long Shadows[]
- Strong Pounce does not formally appear, but the kit is mentioned as one of Owl Feather and Jagged Lightning's small kits before the Ancients' journey to the mountains.
In the Omen of the Stars arc[]
Sign of the Moon[]
- Lapping Wave: "Come on, Strong Pounce. I'm going to be an eagle, and you and Running Fox can attack me."
- Strong Pounce: "You're so bossy, Lapping Wave. I want to be the eagle!"
- Sign of the Moon, page 258
- When Chasing Clouds returns from hunting with Stone Song and the other Ancient cats, Strong Pounce and their littermates seem to be interested in what happened, and curiously walk up to sniff the older cat. However, when they catch the sight of blood, they cringe away, seemingly startled by the scent of blood.
- Owl Feather's kits try to feed, but are told that their mother no longer has any milk to feed them, since there is no more food for them to eat. Jagged Lightning vows to go out and get some for his mate and kits, although Owl Feather is still worried that an animal will catch her kits, and is protective of her kits when it is suggested that they lure out the eagle.
- As Stone Song is telling the other ancient cats what happened, Strong Pounce and their siblings seem to be interested in the story, but soon get distracted by tussling with one another, by pretending that Strong Pounce and Running Fox are attacking Lapping Wave, who chooses to be an eagle.
The Last Hope[]
- Owl Feather swears to fight beside her kits to defeat the Dark Forest.
