When Yellowkit is older, she goes to learn from Deerleap. Later, she is called Yellowpaw. She becomes close with a cat called Raggedpelt. The other cats do not like Raggedpelt because the think his father might have been a house cat. In these books, clan cats do not like house cats because they think they are weak. Yellowpaw tries to help Raggedpaw find out about his father. But when they find he really was a house cat, things become worse. Hal, the house cat, rejects Raggedpelt and then Raggedpelt kills Hal. Another female cat, Foxheart, also likes Raggedpelt, but he likes Yellowpaw.
