Combat Moves
• Back Kick: Explosive surprise move to catch opponent from behind. Judge opponent's distance from you carefully, then lash out with your back legs, taking all weight on your front paws.
• Belly Rake: A fight-stopper. Slice with unsheathed claws against the soft flesh of the opponent's belly. If you're pinned down, the belly rake quickly puts you back into control.
• Front Paw Blow: Frontal attack. Bring your front paw down hard on your opponent's head. Claws sheathed.
• Front Paw Strike/Forepaw Slash: Frontal attack. Slice downward with your front paw at the face or body of your opponent.
• Killing Bite: A death blow to the back of the neck. Quick and silent and sometimes considered dishonorable. Used only as a last resort.
• Leap-and-hold: Ideal for a small cat facing a larger opponent. Spring onto opponent's back and grip with unsheathed claws. Now you are beyond the range of the opponent's paws and in position to inflict severe body wounds. A group of apprentices can defeat a large and dangerous warrior in this way. Watch for the drop-and-roll counter move, and try to jump free before you get squashed.
• Partner Fighting: Warriors who have trained and fought together will often fall instinctively into a defensive position, each protecting each other's back while fending off an opponent on either side. Slashing, clawing, and leaping together, battle pairs can be a whirlwind of danger for attackers.
• Play Dead: Effective in a tight situation, such as when you are pinned. Stop struggling and go limp. When your opponent relaxes his/her grip, thinking you are defeated, push yourself up explosively. This will throw off an unwary opponent and put you in attacking position.
• Scruff Shake: Secure a strong teeth grip in the scruff of your opponents neck; then shake violently until he or she is too rattled to fight back. Most effective against rats, who are small enough to throw. A strong throw will stun or kill them.
• Tail Yank: Grab your opponent's tail and yank it with such force your opponent is thrown off balance.
• Teeth Grip: Target your opponent's extremities- the legs, tail, scruff or ears- and sink in your teeth and hold. This move is similar to the leap-and-hold except your claws remain free to fight.
• Upright Lock: Final, crushing move on already weakened opponent. Rear up on back legs and bring weight down on opponent. If opponent does the same, wrestle and flip him under you. This makes you vulnerable to the belly rake, so it takes great strength and speed.
• Half-Turn Belly Rake: Turn onto your side, slip under the opponent's belly, rake it with your claws, then swiftly turn back onto all fours out from under your opponent.
• Badger Defense: Leap over opponent, turn on your back legs and bite opponent's leg. Used only when fighting badgers.
• Duck and Twist: Simple defensive move. The cat ducks then twists around, rolling over onto his/her back, and then springs to their paws.
• Jump and pin: Complicated move. Leap backwards, and bounce off the wall. With precise accuracy, land on the cat.
• Tail Trip: The opponent moves to you and at the right moment, trip them with your tail.
• Unbalancing act: If a cat is going to bring down all its weight on you while rearing on its back legs, role towards your opponents’ hind legs to unbalance him.
• Back Rake: A bit like belly rake, but this move works best if you are fairly tall and a good jumper. If you are fighting a cat from the front, jump over the cat’s head and score your claws down their back.
• Double Death Bite: Seems dishonorable and is only used against very evil cats. A partner and you take on one cat. Once you’ve got a hold your opponent, your partner helps hold down enemy cat, and you both bite hard down on the enemy cat’s throat. Two pairs of jaws will cut off airway and the cat will choke to death.
• Dizzy Dance: Only can be performed by an extremely small and quick cat against a larger and at least somewhat slower cat. The cat charges head on then swiftly leaped sideways, ducking under the cat then as soon as the cat performing this attack is out from the other cat it spins and leaps over it. Then once more spins, but rams the side then jumps over/goes under the cat and rams the other side then lands one final blow by leaping onto the cat’s back and grabbing the scruff with teeth and using your free paws to batter the cat’s head. This attack should in the end result in a dizzy or confused enemy.
• Dizzy tackle: A great move for swift young warriors facing older, larger warriors. You run in circles around them at top speed until they are dizzy or too tired (if they were chasing you) to keep up. Then you tackle them. While they are down, attack. Caution, standing directly over them makes you vulnerable to the belly rake. This is a one on one move and is not recommended in a place with many foes.
• Leap and cover: Ideal for making your opponent feel much pain, leap onto your opponent’s back and put your paws over their eyes. For the moment the opponent is blinded, sink your claws into the soft skin around their eyes. If your opponent doesn’t run away, take advantage of their temporary blindness and perform leap and hold move.
• Making Sure: You never know if an opponent is actually dead. When an opponent goes limp, they become vulnerable so make sure they are actually dead. Bite and slash, claws unsheathed. When you think they have gone to Spiritclan, pray and leave.
• Back Kick: Explosive surprise move to catch opponent from behind. Judge opponent's distance from you carefully, then lash out with your back legs, taking all weight on your front paws.
