Prey-hunters
Prey-hunters are the lithe, quick cats of the Clan who can jump high to catch birds to feed to their clanmates. Prey-hunters are clan cats whose only duties are to catch prey for the tribe. They are the hunters of the Clan, using stealth and surprise along with camouflage to catch their food. It is their responsibility to feed the Clan and catch their prey, especially for the nursing cats, and the young and old. They depend on speed, for there are not many places to hide in the almost-bare surroundings. Normally prey-hunters hunt in teams to help catch prey. A group of cave-guards accompany them to spot trouble. Prey-hunters are chosen from birth for their lithe and agile build.

Cave-guards
Cave-guards are thick, strong, and lean cats that protect and guard the entrance of the Clan. They are the main fighting force of the Clan and have the responsibility of defending the cave from predators such as big birds. Watching the skies to protect the prey-hunters from hawks and eagles while they hunt is another one of their responsibilities. They are also the most experienced with fighting. These cats are chosen from birth for their muscular, stocky build and long sharp claws.

Tunnelers
Tunnelers are usually the smallest cats of the clan, who spend most of their time in the tunnels underneath clan's territories. The role of a tunneler is considered special among the catd. Tunnneling is a skill highly prized among the clan, because it was easy to get lost in the darkness and vanish forever down a bottomless hole. These cats are chosen from birth for their strong claws, long thin tails and small build.

Apprentices
They are young cats in training. Apprentices are trained in either prey-hunting, cave-guarding or Tunneling . They train with their mentors and learn the skills of what they have to learn. When they are finished training, they are made into either rank by the proxy and mediator. ForestClan cats believe that they are born into their duty, though they can change positions. They start training at the age of eight moons.

Queens
Queens are she-cats who are about to have or are nursing kits. A she-cat becomes a queen when they become heavily pregnant and they can't continue with their duties. When they have their kits, they remain kit-mothers for a time to nurse them. An ancient tradition is that the queens name their kits after what they see when their kits are first born.

Elder
Elders are the oldest and weakest cats in the Tribe. Elders are retired cats that have stopped doing their duties. They are often consulted in difficult times.The elders of the Tribe have a very similar role to the elders of the Clans. They are fed by the Prey-Hunters and Tunnlers while also protected by the Cave-Guards.

Kit
Kits are young cats that are not yet Apprentices. They are too young to do apprentice duties so they stay in the nursery with their mother. Kits stay a kit for eight moons. At their birth, it is foretold by the Proxy if they will become a prey-hunter, a cave-guard or tunneler. Kits that seem fast and lithe are prey-hunters; kits that look strong will be cave-guards and kits that have short bodies and long thin tails are tunnlers. They can be apprentices when they are eight moons old.
