Guide to Being a Medicine Cat

[Ravenpelt]

The following is a guide to being a medicine cat.

1. Medicine cats are not allowed to have mates or kits. This is
simple enough, and if disobeyed will result in delete of the cat or
removal of status. This rule can be bent if there is consent from
an administrator, however.

2. A medicine cat must uphold her duties. There is no reversing
the action of becoming a medicine apprentice, so be careful when
choosing whether to become one or not. Remember--you cannot
be a medicine cat and leader, deputy or another medicine cat at
the same time.

3. Medicine cats must attend the half-moon meetings. These
meetings' dates will be announced.

4. When a medicine cat feels an apprentice is ready, they become
a full medicine cat and the mentor retires. Self explanitory.

5. Medicine cats are the only cats allowed to speak with StarClan,
as well as leaders. Please abide this rule, unless there is a
prophecy of some sort.

6. Medicine cats shall not discuss their dreams with other cats
until contemplated. They may be discussed with their mentors if
it is from an apprentice, but that is the single exception.

7. Medicine cats must use herbs to heal their injured or ill cats of
their said Clan. Please use existant herbs, a very good website is
www.geocities.com/herb.list/index.htm

8. If you have been chosen for an apprentice, the second half of
the secret word is 'pool'.

Please enjoy your time as a medicine cat!
