Purdy

Purdy is a dark brown tabby tom with a gray muzzle, and rheumy amber eyes.
Purdy was a ThunderClan elder under Firestar's and Bramblestar's leaderships in the lake territories. He was first met by Brambleclaw, Squirrelpaw, Crowpaw, Tawnypelt, Feathertail, and Stormfur while on their journey to find Midnight. Purdy assisted them while traveling through the Twolegplace, but would often get lost multiple times, despite the others still being fond of the elderly kittypet. He assisted them a second time while traveling to the Tribe of Rushing Water, while traveling he saved Hollypaw, Lionpaw, and Breezepaw from dogs. While a ThunderClan patrol searches for Sol, they reunited with Purdy, who had befriended Sol. He accepted the offer to join ThunderClan by Brambleclaw and became an elder alongside Mousefur and Longtail.
He quickly adjusts to Clan life by keeping the kits and apprentices distracted with his long stories from his adventures. After Longtail's death, Purdy helped Mousefur with her grief, and he was grief-stricken himself due to Mousefur dying in the Great Battle, with him wanting to plan her burial. He was joined in the elders' den by Graystripe, Sandstorm, and Millie, not being so alone. His sudden death was mourned by all of ThunderClan, especially Alderheart, who had wanted to help him desperately, and Purdy joined StarClan, reuniting with old friends.
