--
2) Each clan must remark their borders daily and address all trespassers. What to do with them is left to the addressing cats judgement.
--
3) Under no circumstances should any kit or cat be left to die if it can be prevented- regardless of clan, age or status. It is a shared duty to preserve a cats life.
--
4) The clans are expected to live independently- however they may aid another clan in harsh times if they desire.
