Cat Of The Day #1
(image quality sucks as it's a screenshot I refound after my old drawings tablet died!!)
Today's cat is...
Fernfade/Olive
Fernfade (kittypet name - Olive) is a daylight warrior of MelroseClan.
They are friendly, affectionate, and deeply devoted to the cats they care about. Fernfade is mates with Snowswirl, and together they have four kits.
After joining MelroseClan as an apprentice, Fernfade quickly became overwhelmed by how open and welcoming the clan was, yet still quickly fell in love with the clan’s strong sense of community. Having grown up feeling like they always needed to meet expectations or earn their place somewhere to make friends, MelroseClan’s kindness felt unfamiliar at first.
Over time, Fernfade has slowly learned how to...
accept care from others
allow themselves joy
stop measuring their worth through usefulness alone
They still struggle with expecting too much from themselves, especially as a parent and warrior, but MelroseClan’s strong sense of community has helped them understand that love does not have to be earned through perfection.
Fernfade is known for:
decorating their nest with ferns rather than flowers
talking to almost every cat they meet
trying to help whenever they can
getting distracted on morning patrols
themes:
love • joy • expectation • belonging • self-worth
“You don't have to sleep in a nest to be an honourable warrior!"
also their favourite prey is blackbirds :3
