Complete Warriors Guide

Loner

Loners often stake a claim on an area around Clan territory. These places are often near Twolegs, such as on farms, abandoned homes, barns, or any sheltered area. They tend to keep to themselves and stay off Clan territories, and are known more for their independence and friendliness.

Some Clan members find them untrustworthy, but others befriend loners on the off chance that they might be useful allies in the future. Even though most Clan members find them inferior to Clanborns, all Clan cats are descended from five loners: Thunder, Shadow, River, Wind, and Sky, who were the original leaders of the Clans.

Cats who are here that are also listed on rogues can be classified as both.

In the Books

Loners are less common than kittypets and rogues, but are less likely to experience violence from Clan cats than either of the other classifications.
