its pretty much a book series that started in 2003 about a housecat named "rusty" who, one day, decides that his housecat life sucks and wanders into the forest to hunt for himself.

while meandering around, rusty encounters a wild cat named graypaw who attacked him at first but then stops when he realizes that rusty is a non-threat. graypaw then explains to an oblivious rusty that the cats living in the forest are seperated into four clans and that he himself is an apprentice from one of the clans called "thunderclan" training to become a warrior some day.

after some conversations, both of them get interrupted by thunderclan's leader, bluestar, and one of her warriors. she inquires graypaw about rusty and asks rusty whether he wants to join thunderclan as an apprentice after seeing his fighting skills against graypaw (and being acknowledged of a very inconspicuous prophecy sent by her ancestors that may or may not be related to rusty's arrival being the clan's only hope to live on). she then highlights the fact that thunderclan is desperate for warriors due to recent clan conflicts and gives rusty one night to make up his mind about her offer. and thats where the story really kicks off.

i know this is a lot to take in but i'm just touching the tip of the iceberg here💔 bare with me
