➣ Chest infections such as kitcough, whitecough, greencough. Whitecough is the most common form of chest infection but if left untreated, it can become the deadly greencough. It is usually a sickness caught in leaf-bare and can result in large scale epidemics. It is a highly contagious illness and can be treated using catmint. If fevers accompany the cough, borage and tansy is also used.
➣ Poisoning - there are many herbs and plants which can cause cats to become ill and sick due to poisoning. Eating rotten prey and/or drinking tainted water can also cause a cat to become ill due to poisoning. Large scale amounts can cause death. Wolves do also have this form of poisoning, but, it is only transmitted through drinking tainted water or infectious plants (healed same way as clan cats). If wolves eat rotten prey, they get The Wailing Blood Eater instead.
➣ Rat-borne infections such as the carrionplace disease or rat bites. Burdock root is used to treat rat bites as is rolling in wild garlic. Wolves do not get this as they do not often consume mice and rats - too small for them.
➣ Wounds such as torn, cut or punctured flesh and muscle. These are very common injuries but could put the cat/wolf's life at risk if severe enough.
➣ Sprains. These can usually be cured with a lot of rest.
➣ Joint dislocation - these must be treated by placing the joint back into place by the Shaman and/or Medicine cat. Poppy seeds should be used for this.
➣ Cracked pawpads. Elders are mostly prone to this.
➣ Broken bones can be tricky to heal and sometimes may not heal entirely correct. Cats most often break their legs, and while medicine cats try to bind the bone with cobwebs, the injury usually results in the cat remaining crippled for the rest of his or her life. A more severe injury is when a cat breaks his or her backbone. This results in the cat being unable to feel or move parts of his or her body. However, wolves usually make full recoveries as they have stronger and firmer frames.
➣ Joint Aches can also pose an issue within the clans and the pack. Usually happens to elders.
➣ Loss of senses such as sight, hearing or even limbs due to old age (no, no, you don't lose limbs as you get older), birth defects, infections or accidents. (Characters with these issues can now be purchased from the Admin Point Store). These issues can usually end a cat's and wolf's career as a warrior/scout/sentinel, depending on the severity.
➣ Toothache.
