* = it's an add-on for the group and is not found in the original Warrior Code...

1. Defend your Clan, even at the cost of your life.  You may have friendships with cats from other Clans, but your loyalty must remain to your Clan.  As one day you may meet them in battle.

2. Do not hunt or trespass on another Clan’s territory.

3. Elders, Queens and kits must be fed before apprentices and warriors.  Unless they have permission apprentices may not eat until they have hunted to feed the elders.  If any warrior or apprentice is sick or injured, they may eat while the elders, queens and kits are eating.

4. Prey is killed only to be eaten.  Give thanks to StarClan for its life.

5. A kit must be at least six moons old to become an apprentice.

6. Newly named warriors will keep a silent vigil for one night after receiving their warrior name.

7. A cat cannot be made deputy without having mentored at least one apprentice.

8. The deputy will become Clan leader when the leader dies or retires.

9. After the death or retirement of a deputy, the new deputy must be chosen before moonhigh.

10. A Gathering of all Clans is held at the full moon during a truce that lasts for one night.  There shall be no fighting among Clans at this time.

11. Boundaries must be checked and marked daily.  Challenge all trespassing cats.

12. No warrior can neglect a kit in pain or danger, even if the kit is from a different Clan.

13. The word of the Clan leader is the warrior code.

14. An honorable warrior does not need to kill other cats to win his or her battles, unless they are outside the warrior code or it is necessary for self-defense.

15. A warrior rejects the soft life of a kittypet.

16. *She-cat medicine cats wanting a mate and kits can do so only if they have an apprentice that can take their place during their time of mother-hood.  After their kits are apprenticed they can return to their medicine cat duties.  Toms can have a mate and kits without having an apprentice.

17. *Any cat wishing to leave the Clans must never return and give up their warrior name.

18. *Every apprentice will travel to visit StarClan after receiving their apprentice name and after receiving their warrior name.

19. *A cat born outside the Clans that wishes to join must go through apprentice training as any Clan cat would, no matter the age.

20. *Clans may unite as one to overcome any danger that threatens them.
