Warrior Cat[edit]
Welcome to the world of Warrior Cats. In this world, animals are as intelligent as humans. Only a language barrier and misunderstanding has prevented the two from knowing each other's true intelligence. Warrior Cats are house hold cats that most of them live near humans but avoid them like dangerous creatures. Only a few live near them and fewer live with them.
