- kit - Kits are cats under the age of six moons. They do not need to hunt or provide for their clan. They are cared for by all the clan as they are the future of the clan. The loss of any kit is a big blow to the whole clan, though moreso their parents, especially their mother.
- apprentice - Once a kit reaches six moons they are given an apprentice ceremony. At this ceremony they are declared apprentices and given the suffix of paw. The leader of the clan determines which warrior is best suited to mentor an apprentice. They are trained by their mentors until they are old enough and worthy to become warriors.
- warrior - Every clan cat dreams of becoming a warrior. Fully trained apprentices who've passed their assessments by their mentor and proven themselves to their leader will be given a warrior ceremony. The warrior ceremony is where the leader, or the deputy if the leader is ill, is where an apprentice gains their warrior name.
- senior warrior - A senior warrior, is a warrior who has trained at least one apprentice.
- medicine cat apprentice - A medicine cat apprentice is a cat who is training to become a healer for their clan. They learn all the herbs and remedies required to heal the sick, injured, disstressed, and elderly. Medicine cat apprentices must not have a mate nor any kits.
- medicine cat - A medicine cat is a fully trained healer. They give medicine to anyone who is sick, injured, distressed, or in pain. Medicine cats also help Queens deliver their kits. Medicine cats themselves must not have kits, or a mate as it is against the medicine cat code.
- deputy - Deputies are very high up on the clan hierarchy. They are often closest to the clan leader and will often advise a clan leader, but ultimately will follow their clan leaders wishes - unless perhaps its against the warrior code. While they may protect their leader they are still a warrior. In the case of a clan leaders death they will become leader and must pick a deputy before moonhigh the day they become leader.
- leader - The leader is the most important rank within any of the clans. This is because the leader's word is law and without a leader the clan is lost and in a state of confusion. Every cat must obey the leader. The leader makes all major decisions for the clan and they recieve nine lives from StarClan when they become leader as long as they've gone to the sacred spot.
