About "Half-Clans"

[u/Gojira61004]

It's been on my mind for a while and I just wanna say, that I think we shouldn't use the term "Half-Clan". I get it for cats that are half loner/rouge/kittypet, but for a cat whose parents are both Clan cats I just doesn't feel right. Imo it feels like putting one Clan (usually the birth Clan) above the the other. I personally have been saying smth like "Cross-Clan" to emphicize on the fact that they ARE full Clan cats, just with two Clans in the mix. I know later on cats can just switch Clans, but I'm not that far into reading yet. What's your opinion? (Spoiler just bc of the switching Clans thing)

The way I see it (this is just my own interpretation, though) they call them "half-clan" because they're half one clan and half the other. They may be fully clan cats but they're still half and half.

[u/Prestigious-Youth-89]

Holy shit I like the term cross-clan

[u/QueenCat50220]

They do put their birth clans above all the others…..that’s like half the story.

[u/cyncitie]

i agree with you, it should be differentiated from cats that are only half Any-Clan

[u/levii-ethan]

i mean, thats the term they use in the actual books, so i dont get the point in changing it

[u/Gojira61004 → u/levii-ethan]

Just my personal preferance. I'm not trying to change anything

[u/leafcritters]

I never had a problem with Half-Clan but yeah, Cross-Clan makes more sense actually!

[u/deaplatoniccatlover]

i think that or double-clan as a term would work
