Adderkit

''Are you sitting a little straighter, Adderkit? You should be proud of your birth Clan, whatever other cats might say about Brokenstar driving you from your home, or your Clanmates' willingness to make alliances to protect their borders.''

--Rock to Adderkit in Cats of the Clans, page 44

Adderkit is an underfed tom with an unknown description.

Spoiler Warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Cats of the Cats

 * Adderkit is a young kit in StarClan.


 * One day, Adderkit wanders away from StarClan, with Blossomkit, a ShadowClan kit, and Mosskit, a half ThunderClan, half RiverClan kit. After the three young cats leave StarClan, they get terribly lost, and wander around helplessly for a long while. Eventually, the three meet Rock, who leads them to a safe and dry place, where the three can rest their tired legs. After Adderkit, Blossomkit, and Mosskit are settled, Rock tells the kits stories about some of the more influential cats of the four Clans. Rock describes Adderkit as being underfed and thin.


 * According to Rock, Adderkit was killed by a snake bite, hence the name. Tallstar avenged the young kit's death, by killing the snake shortly afterwards.


 * Adderkit seems to be a very bold and boastful young kit, for when Rock mentions Firestar, Adderkit isn't afraid to point out that the ThunderClan leader was once a kittypet. Also, when Rock is talking about Crowfeather and Leafpool's relationship, Adderkit boasts, "WindClan warriors are the best!"


 * Adderkit is also very curious and defensive. For example, he asks Rock about the difference between loners, and rouges, with undisguised interest, and when Rock mentions Nightcloud's obsession over her mate, Crowfeather, and her son, Breezepaw, the young kit quickly jumps to his Clanmate's defense.


 * Of course, like all kits, Adderkit is very proud of his Clan, for when Rock speaks of WindClan, Adderkit sits up much straighter.

Quotes

 * "Yes, Adderkit, I know the ThunderClan leader was born a kittypet, but it makes no difference to me where a kit gulps his first breath."
