Task 23: What is a skill common in all/most cats of your clan and why?
The cats are sectioned into fifths based on what their elemental strength is, and each element strength brings its own advantages that cats of other elements would not have.
For a cat which is affiliates with the water element, they are strong swimmers with a greater ability at catching fish. An air cat is swift on their feet and find it easier to climb trees; their quickness makes it easiest for them to catch birds. If a cat affiliates with fire, they are great at climbing unusual terrain and hunting the prey on the ground. An earth element cat is the strongest tracker, finding it easy to find the prey on the ground. However, if a cat is of the spirit element, they have no strong abilities for climbing or swimming or hunting, instead they find it easier to contact ancestors.
So, while the cats of the clan don't have one specific skill that is found in each, they each instead have a skill that comes from their elemental affinity, gifted to them by their ancestors. It is believed that the cats strengths come from their ancestral bloodline and that many of the cats of Thornclan originate from one of the 5 cats from the original Clan of Thorns: White Feather (Air), Little Star (Fire), Jagged Root (Earth), Ocean Pelt (Water) and Pear Bush (Spirit).
