Common/basic Rules:
1. Use common courtesy. A please and a thank-you are always greatly appreciated.
2. Do not swear. It is rude and unnecessary. You cannot "let something slip" when you are typing because, unlike your mouth, the keyboard has that button called 'delete', and 'Backspace'.
3. Do not spam. Please put your sites links in 'The Tin'
4. Do not use "chatspeak"* when you are in character, or out of character. It is irritating and many people don't fully understand it. (*how r u?, *Ttyl, *r u busy?)
5. No inappropriate material!! If you are unsure of whether or not something in inappropriate, simply do not post it. In fact, do not post anything that isn't related to the site. There are other groups for that.
6. Please use some sort of OOC (out of character). ( ), (( )), ooc:, OOC: are all accepted. Members just need to know when you aren't in character. If you start a new disscussion just talking about something, there should be no rps in that disscussion, and you do not have to use OOC.
7. Chatspeak in the C-box is allowed, if kept to an understandable level.
8. Be realistic. No lime green pelts, or totally different markings. Try to keep it natural as possible though it is ok to make them unique.
9. Please post your character before you begin roleplaying them. Once you have posted your character you do not need to wait for approval to begin rping.

For apprentices:
10. At least one training session is encouraged, more than that is also good.
11. Apprentices must learn. At the beginning of their training it is impossible for them to be able to defeat their mentor. They must be trained.
Mates/mating:

12.Keep everything appropriate. Romance between cats is perfectly acceptable (Licking on cheek, saying 'I love you' etc.) , but, if you are unsure if something is or isn't appropriate, do not post it.

13. Do NOT be graphic, and disgusting. Simply have the female become pregnant, and have kits. DON'T DESCRIBE IT! IT IS CONSIDERED PORNOGRAPHIC LITERATURE, AND WILL BE DELETED IMMEDIATELY!! (You will also be banned from the site. No questions asked) If you are not sure if it's appropriate don't post it (As we have now written 3 times!!!)

Battles:

14. Do not start a battle without a manager's permission. We will start the battle/war/problem and you may add twists (if they're not major and if they tie into the prophecy)
15. You can not be the best in the battle and chase every enemy away. Everyone must get some injury, and some people can let their cats be killed if thats what they feel like doing.
16. Do not kill any cat without permission. This ties in with power-playing/ god-playing. Its is mean and unfair and unless you are forgiven by the cats owner, you will be suspended from the site for a while.
17. NO MAJOR GORE! (Describing blood splatter, and guts popping out. It's just gross, so don't do type that kind of stuff)
Also, If you make a cat you must Roleplay it regularly. If it isn't roleplayed often enough it will be put up for adoption.
