Cat Ages

KITS are 1 to 6 moons old. [unless they are unable to be come an apprentice at that time]

APPRENTICES are 6 to about 12 moons or so.

WARRIORS are about 12 to around 90 moons or so.

ELDERS are 90 moons to death.

MEDICINE CATS can become apprentices at 6 moons, and don't get their medicine cat names until they learned everything they need to know. This is because they have to train a lot for such an important job. They inherit the medicine cat position from their mentor when their mentor dies or is unable to carry on with the position. Apprentices would only get their names early if they were forced to take the position, such as the death of the current medicine cat, etc.

DEPUTIES need to be at least 20 moons. They have to have trained at least one apprentice before, and they need to have proved themselves worthy. So anything young than 20 moons old is unlikely.

LEADERS become leaders when the last leader dies, so there is no real age they should be. But they are usually experienced enough to take the position, 25+ moons.
