Description
Now introducing my third original Warriors character, Boxswipe! I made up his name myself, and decided to set him and Nightingale a distance away from the rest of the Clans. ^^Names: Unknown, Box, Boxswipe
Clan: SkyClan
Rank: Daylight-warrior
Roots: Loner
Appearance: Fairly hefty, longhaired, black-and-white tuxedo polydactyl (Hemingway) tom with a notch in the tip of his left ear and green eyes. His white marks include his chest, underbelly, stockings on his forelegs, socks on his hind legs, and marks on his upper muzzle that make him look kind of like he has a moustache. Wears a red collar with a gold name/phone number tag and a green rabies tag.
Personality: Very much the "strong, silent type," Boxswipe is fairly gruff and strict. Despite this, he is an incredible teacher/mentor and believes that if someone has useful knowledge of anything, it should be shared with everyone. He doesn't speak much, but when he does, he's very brusque and grows irritated if the cat addressing him fails to pay close attention, because he hates having to repeat himself.
Background:
Boxswipe was born to a loner mother with a few littermates. He was caught by Twolegs at a young age and taken to the Cutter (veterinarian) to be neutered, where a notch was made in his left ear to signify that he was already fixed. He was then released to wander free as a loner again, but he felt less inclined to roam than previously. Because of this decreased urge, he decided to find a Twoleg nest where he could settle and live happily, where this unnamed tom came to be known as Box.
A couple of years of living with his housefolk passed before Nightingale was brought into Box's life. He developed a fatherly fondness for the skittish she-cat and always defended her whenever their housefolk allowed them outside.
One day while they were on a trek through the neighbourhood, Box and Nightingale were hailed by an unknown cat and invited to come to a meeting in the gully nearby, to learn about SkyClan. They had heard other kittypets talk of the Clan, so Box cautiously accepted the invitation. They were greeted warmly and, after listening to all the information, presented the choice of leaving their housefolk and living with SkyClan permanently, or becoming what the Clan cats called "daylight-warriors." Box decided for the both of them that they would be daylight-warriors (Nightingale didn't mind this decision at all), and Box was shortly rechristened as Boxswipe because of his age and experience, and given Nightingale as his apprentice. His extra toes make him an ideal hunter for his Clan.
Boxswipe continues to serve SkyClan as a loyal warrior, though he does enjoy the fruits of being a kittypet all the same.

I used to have a poly cat named Kitty, she was super sweet :') and she was an outside cat. One night she never came home, and it's been two years and I still miss her

POLYDACTYL KITTY! Yay! I've actually never seen a poly OC I kinda wanna make one but the toes would probably murder my brain when trying to figure out how to put them 0.0
I actually have a poly kitten in real life though sunnystar454567.deviantart.com…

Make sure you keep your kitty's claws trimmed down, a lot of polydactyl cats tend to have nails that grow around and into their feet because they can't care for them properly.

Is it even possible for a cat to have that many toes? My friend's cat Lilac has an extra toe, but it's only one (I thought it was a mutation)

WildpathOfShadowClan In reply to SpottedbirdCat23 [2014-04-13 13:42:33 +0000 UTC]
Yep, there are cats who even have extra toes on their back feet as well as their front feet. And you're right, it is a mutation!

Could you make a lineart of the reference sheet for a reference sheet ( I'm not talking about Bkxswipe, I'm talking about the reference sheet you use for him )

You're free to make as many reference sheets as you'd like, but by using ONLY the deviations in my Gallery with the word "Lineart" in the title.

A cats with more than the usual number (5) of toes on one foot. Most polydactyl cats have six toes on their front paws, though other variations happen as well.

There's nothing to feel sorry about - pets don't need to remain intact, and a lot of feral cats get caught to be fixed in order to help control the population. It's actually a really good practice.

No, sorry. You can redraw them yourself using mine as references (making sure to cite that you used mine as references), but nothing from any of my character sheets are for others to use. I had to reference pictures of Hemingway cat paws to draw them, myself.

i owned a double-mitten-paw on the forepaws cat. Somewhat dilute orange tabby with yellow-green eyes.
He died of diabetes though...

Oh no, I'm really sorry to hear about that. Did you guys monitor his blood glucose and give him insulin and everything, or did he pass away before you knew what was wrong?

One year the vet said it was minor enough not to worry about, the next he had him put to sleep because liver wasn't working properly.
Entirely vet's fault, in my opinion. We even dieted him.

WildpathOfShadowClan In reply to Flamepawsome [2010-10-27 15:23:31 +0000 UTC]
Man.. =\ That wasn't right, though I probably would've taken him in more often than once a year to get him checked out, even with a "mild case" of diabetes. Your vet should have educated you guys about the disease and encouraged you to come in for regular checks just to make sure your cat was okay.
Did you put him on the Science Diet W/D? That's the weight loss/diabetes food.
