Strong Pounce

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's and Jagged Lightning's small kits before the Ancients' journey to the mountains.

In the Omen of the Stars Arc

Sign of the Moon

When Chasing Clouds returns from hunting with Stone Song and the other Ancient cats, Strong Pounce and his 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's suggested that they lure out the eagle.

As Stone Song is telling the other ancient cats what happened, Strong Pounce and his 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.
