Rogue

**Rogue**is the term used to describe the hostile and usually aggressive stray cats who do not belong to a Clan and are not cared for by Twolegs.

## **DESCRIPTION**

Rogues usually do not respect StarClan's Code or the cats who follow it, unlike Loners. Cats who are banished from their Clan usually live as Rogues. They occasionally trespass on Clan territory to steal prey, but if a patrol finds them, they will chase him or her back over the border, unless they want to join the Clan.

Even when they live in a band, they aren't afraid to turn on each other. They are very violent and are known to not have any qualms about attacking elderly and very young cats. They sometimes kill without having a good reason. Rogues have also abandoned their kits in the past.

Even though some Clan members find them inferior to Clanborns, some Clan cats descended from a Rogue: Quake, who was the original Leader of EarthClan.

## **RELATION TO CLAN CATS**

In the Clans' point of view, Rogues are usually depicted and thought of as being selfish and aggressive. Rogues that join the Clans are doubted by their Clanmates much more than if they were Loners or Kittypets.
