Cat Tales: A Warrior Cats Podcast
Oct 26, 2026 · 51 min · 10 segments
Welcome back to Cat Tales! This week, we continue Firestar's Quest: we meet our first cats living by the abandoned gorge, including the off-brand version of a Harry Potter character (who reminds them…
Where we immediately left off, Firestar is wondering if he came too late to save the SkyClan cats, and if they should just go home, or if SkyClan descendants are even here.
So he's kind of nervous about it.
Getting into Chapter 16, Firestar wakes from sleep to the sound of rustling and faint voices.
When he wakes up, he thinks he needs to send out the Dawn Patrol, but he soon realizes he is not in ThunderClan camp.
He is in the cave with the sandy walls and the stripes in the rock.
He is in the deserted cave that had once been part of the SkyClan camp.
Sandstorm is waking up next to him and says she thinks she heard something, and Firestarter agrees with her.
He gets to his paws and he can still hear movement from the top of the cliff.
When he sensed the air, he sensed cats.
Quote, "...raising his tail to warn Sandstorm to stay still and quiet, he padded toward the entrance." Daylight slanted into the cave from a pale sky.
The sun hadn't yet risen above the gorge, and the air was cool.
He peered out of the cave mouth.
Looking up, he was just in time to see a dark tabby tail whisking out of sight into the bushes that grew on the clifftop.
"'I think so.' Stretching his neck out further, Firestar took a breath to call out, but before he could make a sound, a pebble flew down from the clifftop, skimming past less than a mouse-length from his nose, and pattered down into the gorge." More sounds of scrabbling came from above, and a half-stifled morale of laughter.
The first voice called out, "'Did you find what you were looking for in the sky, stupid old furball?' "'I'm not surprised you don't have any friends, dog-breath,' the second voice added.
"'Bet you can't catch us.' "'Y'all are mean.
Oh my god, what is this, middle school?' Who are they bullying? Because I know these cats don't know Firestar and Sandstorm, so who are they talking to? Another stone came bouncing down the cliff, barely missing Firestar, and he heard the sound of two cats scrambling through the bushes with loud triumphant meows.
Furious, he launched himself upward.
But by the time he clawed his way over the cliff and thrust his way through the undergrowth, the two cats were too far away to be worth chasing.
He spotted them, a dark tabby and a tortoiseshell, racing toward the distant two-legged place.
"'Mousestongue!' he exclaimed.
Rustling in the bushes behind him announced the arrival of Sandstorm.
"'What was that all about?' "'I don't know.
But if any clanmate of mine spoke to me like that, they would spend the next moon searching the elders for ticks.' Sandstorm rubbed her muzzle against his.
