Celibacy. It is the promise every Medicine Cat makes. It is not a law, not a number listed in the Warrior Code, but a promise. A promise to serve the Clan as a healer, a promise to never be detracted by a mate, a promise to never be bias towards kits of their own blood. It's a promise to treat every Clan cat with the same amount of affection, a promise to live outside the Clans with a Code of their own. It's a promise to abandon love forever.
But what cat out there is strong enough to never love?
