Attention Everyone - We've got a Few Major Shop Updates!
Please make sure to read over everything carefully! <3
Certing forms have been updated. The portion where you state where the name came from now explicitly includes that you have to list if they had kittypet background or not. Loners and clan cats only know of natural things, so things like Onyx or Jacob, or even Queen Latifah, would all be kittypet names. We don't want to force anyone to make their cat a kittypet to have names that are outside the natural world of cats, so they aren't forced to be kittypets. However, they should have had some form of kittypet background to get names like that. You can even state if they were born on the streets and named by some random Twolegs they accepted food from, but didn't live with. That would also be acceptable. But these are things that are the origins of names, and thus should be stated in the certing form when certing cats.
Breedings have been allowing throwbacks for a while, but breeding forms have been updated to specify throwbacks. Throwbacks are limited to parents or grandparents of the involved cats
only. You cannot link siblings, aunts/uncles, or cousins. Direct parents or grandparents only. It has also been limited as a base line across the shop to
3 cats from each side. This means
3 cats from the mother's side (parents, grandparents, or even great grandparents), and
3 cats from the father's side (parents, grandparents of even great grandparents). Users must also submit the links in the forms of the specific cats they would like to be used for throwbacks for each side. Staff will not go digging for the related cats.
And as a general reminder, just because you ask for throwbacks
does not guarantee that any or all will be used. The point is to allow the colorists to use colors or edits outside of the parents, but only if they choose to throw those little surprises in. Not everything from the throwbacks is guaranteed to be used. If anything here is not clear, feel free to ask for futher clarification here or on our Discord.
We have

But That's Not ALL!
Since the move down from the mountain to follow the mountain, Sunseer has been boosting his Clan’s population by letting any cat who wanted a home to join StoneClan. With more mouths to feed, some of these newcomers have thought of a way to impress their leader by expanding the territory they hunt in… right across the border into TreeClan. Surely this couldn’t have any consequences right? Enter Cats of the Sun’s first
Battle-Meta: Battle of the Borders! This Meta will focus on StoneClan and TreeClan and the borders they share! There are plots and drama to participate in and prizes to win too!

Battle Meta Rules Update: The restriction that you can only add one cat per clan has been
lifted! If you have a cat signed up for the TreeClan Patrol, you may also submit a cat (who joined StoneClan as a kittypet or loner) into the StoneClan patrol too!
