==Overview==
A medicine cat is an essential role for any Clan roleplay in WCUE. A medicine cat apprentice shall become a medicine cat when they are seen fit to become so. Medicine cat apprentices usually have a longer apprenticeship than normal apprentices due to them having to learn much more. They are not allowed to have mates or kits due to it getting in the way of their work. Unlike other high ranks such as leaders or deputies, there can be several medicine cats at a time. Additionally, medicine cats are taught the basics of hunting, and can help in stocking the pile when they are not busy with their work. They can also learn fighting moves from their mentor, as Shadowclan is the main one who does this.
