MadnessClan, the clan of which cats who have gone mad are welcome. In this clan you'll never feel different since we are all mad. Our founder,HeatherHeart, was a mad cat of RiverClan. When cats told her she was a mad cat, she left the clan to form a clan where mad cats belong. Ever since then, cats from all the clans have came. When they decided on a name, the only name that suited them was MadnessClan. Okay, the question is... How mad of a cat are you?
RULES
I know you ALL hate rules but it's the only thing that keeps stuff from being chaotic. Here are the rules!
1) All WCRPG Rules apply.
2)Mating and kit birth are Fade in and Fade out stuff.
3)At least post twice a week. If you have a HP but you are gone for 2 weeks without noticed, your cat goes to StarClan.
4)That gets me to this rule. If you have a HP but you'll be gone for quite a while, PM me and your cat won't go to StarClan.
5) no fights in OOC.
6) Ask permission from the cat's Rper to mate/kill him or her.

Poisonous Plant Guide
Deathberries: One of these berries will kill any cat without medicine cat treatment right away. If a cat eats them(most likely a dopey kit), then scoop all the berry leftovers out of their mouth. Then force them to swallow yarrow. The victim will vomit out most of the poison, but not all of it. They will be very sick for the next few days. Has dark green leaves and scarlet berries. Otherwise known as 'yewberries'.
Nightshade: Has dark green leaves. There is three types of nightshade. Black nightshade is the most common. It has dark purple berries. Another kind has lighter red berries. Use yarrow as treatment just as deathberries.
Ragwort: Even though ragwort is used for medicinal uses, it is highly poisonous, as it often gets cows and horses very sick. Use yarrow right away. Juniper also helps afterward.
Stinging nettle: Only part of the plant is poisonous. The part that isn't poisonous is used for medicinal uses. This plant has sharp nettles that get snagged in your fur. If the nettles break the skin you will have a horrible itch for a few hours, maybe longer. Carefully remove nettles with teeth.
