Elder

Elders are the cranky pirates of the Clans/Tribe. They are usually in their 70s 80s or 90s, unless they are like that little wimp Longtail who thought he soooooooo old at age 25. Their favorite phrase is “Arrrrrrrrrrrr, when I was a kit...”. Some, like Graypool, go crazy in their old age. Some, like Mousefur and Longtail were too dumb to be mates when they were warriors, so they decided to marry as old wierdos. Their favorite hobbies are yelling at apprentices/to-bes and rolling in secret stashes of ticks, as they are often addicted to a favorite among them, mouse bile. They also like complaining about how much their Clan or Tribe has changed. Some cats, like Dustpelt, lived to be the elder age, but were too dumb to retire and got themself killed. Some elders became leaders, and some leaders should have been elders, like Bluestar and Nightstar of ShadowClan .
