Hey guys, I just relised I never wrote a Monthly Meow this month! Ha ha, silly me! Don’t think you got off the hook this easy! Well…you sort of did. This one will be a little different from the usual in the sense that I won’t be talking about what has happened or what I expect to happen (frankly, I have no idea on either of those.) . I will be talking about the differences and similarities between the clans! Fun! For me, at least, probably because I spend a lot of time thinking about this but never actually have posted anything about it. Without further rambling lets start with the first clan-Moon Clan!
Wait…quick disclaimer! This speaks for the clan in general; it may or may not be true for specific cats! And this will be a little biased, I am the current leader of Night Clan and love them dearly. And outdated...I'm an oldy!
Moon Clan was the first of the clans, started by the great leader Moonstar about 20 years before now (way to make me feel old, world!). The cats in Moon Clan place the highest emphasis in the code of the three clans, insisting that all cats must learn and follow it from the moment they are born. This causes them to change the most slowly and remain very static, they follow traditions to the end allowing them to be the most sturdy and close-knit clan. This is not without its faults, though, the cats of Moon Clan are known to sacrifice doing what is right for the purpose of following the code. They are the most loyal and dependable of the three clans, never turning their back to their clan mates or disobeying their leader. Moon Clan is currently the smallest clan, quickly crumbling under the superior fighting skill and numbers of Night Clan. Lets hope that they are able to pull through the winter! Star Clan light their paths!
Next up is Storm Clan! I know that they aren’t a current clan, but I don’t care. They were once a clan and will remain one in my mind…plus my last few monthly meows have been pitifully short and this adds content. Storm Clan was a constantly shifting dynamic clan, they felt a strong love for their families and clan mates. They followed the code but not as stiffly as Moon Clan but would occasionally sacrifice it to do something they felt was right. Known for their hospitality and good hearts they were the most friendly clan and trusted cats easily, a fact that would eventually bring their demise as they slowly shrunk in size and the remaining cats were forced to join Moon Clan to survive. The ancestors of these cats can still be found in the clans tod- or not…they have completely died out. No surprise there, right? There should be a moral in that but I can’t seem to find one.
Night Clan is the third clan; they were formed by Fallenstar shortly after the Great War ended. It began as a small group of misfits fighting for their own lives; they became very close and remained that way for a long time even as the clan grew. The most secretive of all of the clans Night Clan cats are revered for their brutal fighting skill and cunning. They bluntly ignore the code but do not be tricked by the stereotype! Night Clan cats follow their hearts and always do what they feel is right, taking no mind of a code that could bind them. They are known for working on their own agendas and their leader Snakestar strongly believes in the survival of the fittest. Personal morals decide every cat’s own actions and their intentions allowing Night Clan to be the most independent clan. They are surrounded by dangerous enemies on all sides and food is scarce causing them to often resort to drastic methods to survive. They allow in outsiders more freely than Moon Clan, but not as openly as Dawn Clan. Night Clan is quickly rising to the most powerful clan, with the new kits they will have many new warriors soon and enough to possibly wipe out Moon Clan! That is, if they ever get their act together because if things continue the way they are they may not be able to keep Star Clan on their side.
Last but not least is Dawn Clan! I don’t have a much to write about them because I don’t have much history to work from. They seem to be taking the place of Storm Clan, in the middle of the two extreme clans and kind. They do not, however, appear to be as weak as Storm Clan, they are growing quickly and have jumped over the first hurdle of starting! Let’s give the new clan a round of applause for their success! They have a strong sense of right and wrong and strongly oppose violence, a peaceful and sensible clan they may be the only hope of ending this seemingly endless war…that is…if they get more cats! We will just have to wait and see with this one, let’s hope Star Clan gives a lending paw to their inexperienced but well meaning leader.
Sorry for how awkwardly this entry probably read, I should probably read it again and edit more but I don’t have too much more time to waste.

Question of the month: What is the weirdest/sillyest thing you do often/am scared of.
I hate going to the library. I don't know why but I always have to reserve a book online, run to the front desk and get it and leave in a few minutes! I can never just be a normal person and walk in, find the book and meander over to the desk and check it out...and I go to the library twice a week. The little old ladies all know my name!
