NAME BASICS
A Warrior Cat prefix is the first part of a Clan cat’s name. It may come from the cat’s fur, markings, or something in nature. For example, Mist is the prefix in Mistkit, Mistpaw, and Mistfeather. The ending changes as the cat grows.
Cats usually keep their prefixes, although a name can change for an important story reason. See the Warrior Cat naming rules guide for more examples.
