Kittypet

Description
Kittypets, also known as everkits, are looked after and pampered by Twolegs. Many are plump because Twolegs feed them several times daily with dry, tasteless pellets that look like rabbit droppings and soft slop, according to Clan cats. They are soft-muscled and know very little about the arts of fighting and hunting(with notable exceptions). At a certain age, they are taken to be neutered or spayed by the veterinarian, who is otherwise known to the Clan cats as the Cutter. After this visit, they usually become lazy and have no desire to do much.

The life of a kittypet is scorned by Clan cats, and it is against the warrior code for a warrior to become a kittypet, as the code says to reject the soft life of one. Kittypets go "nowhere" when they die, although they may still appear as spirits, and potentially be visited.

Relation to clan cats
Clan cats consider kittypets to be living in disgrace, taking food from Twolegs and living in a false comfort beyond the reach of StarClan. Kittypets are commonly considered "soft" and the term "kittypet" can be used as an insult such as, "You hunt/fight like a kittypet," meaning that a cat is a poor hunter or fighter. Some forest cats believe that not only are kittypets inferior, they are treacherous and untrustworthy as well. One example of this is Longtail's quote which was said in Forest of Secrets when he heard that Fireheart and Graystripe were bringing food to RiverClan: "Traitors! Just what I would expect from a kittypet!" Most Clan cats use the familiar saying, "Once a kittypet, always a kittypet!"

Many Clan-born cats do not trust cats of kittypet blood, such as Halfpelt.
