Hunting Fern

"'Retire? Me? Psh, don't give me that talk. Retiring is just a way of saying 'I've done all I wanted to, now you have to look after me while I contribute nothing more', and I won't be that kind of cat. A grey muzzle is just a sign of being experienced. I don't want the clan to coddle me because I'm not as young as I used to be, I want to be treated like an experienced cat who knows what she's doing.' - Hunting Fern regarding her unwillingness to retire in The Omen"Hunting Fern is a big, elderly, lithe, plump, scruffy light brown tabby she-cat with long, fraying, messy fur, a gray-flecked muzzle, sharp silver whiskers, and jutting, boney haunches. She has a dusty white belly and droopy, sunken, faded, glassy-looking amber eyes.

She is the only daughter of Eagle Shadow, and the mother of Grumpy Branch, Robin's Wing, and Silent Breeze, who were all fathered by an unknown tom.

She is an ancestral cat, best known for her willingness to remain a working cat despite her age. She never retired, though was inevitably killed by a fox pack that invaded their camp. She was also known for lacking maternal instincts, and not being very motherly to any of her kits, not wanting to step aside from her duties for anything. Not even for her own kits that needed her.
