This section is for people writing their own stories and need a list of herbs and ailments for their medicine cats.

For some reason, I have to type this or they get mad at me. These herbs' healing properties are fictitious and have not been tested. Do not try to use them to heal ever and don't try anything else stupid. It might cause death and that's never good.

Ingest means ‘eaten’ and apply means ‘don’t eat it, it goes on the skin.’

Enjoy!

Dislocation of fore/hindleg: First, the cat is given a poppy seed to ease the pain and, hopefully reaction skills. Then, one cat must restrain the patient, so the medicine cat’s face is not clawed off. The medicine cat then grips the patient’s leg in the jaws and gives quick pull. A sharp click should be heard and the injured cat should respond to this with a yowl and a struggle. Then the poppy seed should really be taking effect, causing the patient to not be able to think straight and stagger. He or she should be sent to rest immediately after. The process of relocating the leg should be done in no less than a minute.

Detecting fever- Medicine cat must press their nose to the pad of the patient’s paw. Then, if still unsure, the medicine cat can compare to another, healthy cat.

Detecting hearing disorders- Simply have a cat stand far away from the cat and call it by its name without giving any sort of visual. If the cat in question does not respond, have the calling cat near a few pawsteps closer then call again, in order to know the severity.
