Here are the positions for groups and clans:
Leader - the cat who leads the Clan/group; Clan leader names always end with -star; group leaders have one-word names; and new leaders take a trip to the Moonrock. There, Clan cats receive their nine lives and name from StarClan. Group Cats, receive their nine lives from whatever ancestor they beleive in.
Deputy - the cat who is second-in-command to the Clan/group leader; the deputy is in charge of organizing patrols and hunting parties, and succeeds the leader after he/she loses all nine lives from battle, age, or sickness; in the case that the deputy dies, the leader must appoint a new deputy before moonhigh, or midnight.
Medicine Cat - a cat who is trained specifically in the ways of healing (but that does not mean they can't fight); receives messages from StarClan/other ancestors and interprets them; medicine cats stand outside of the rivalries between the Clans/groups. A medicine cat will heal an injured cat and can order even the leader what to do. Each clan/group has either one or two medicine cats; they are not allowed to take a mate or have kits; sometimes, fully trained warriors can become an apprentice to a medicine cat.
Warrior - a cat (tom or she-cat without kits) trained in the ways of combat; warriors defend, hunt, and fight for their Clan/group; they also are in charge of training apprentices to become warriors; a warrior may only have one apprentice at a time, although they may supervise the training of apprentices lacking mentors.
Queen - a she-cat expecting or nursing kits; they stay in the nursery until their kits become apprentices, then return to their warrior duties.
Apprentice - a cat who, at six moons old, begins training to become a warrior or medicine cat; they train daily to practice battle and hunting skills, and also care for the elders; their names end with -paw, accept in some groups they have one-word names; they become warriors when their mentor and leader feel that they are ready.
Kit - a kitten, not yet old enough to be an apprentice (six moons old); they are not allowed to hunt or leave the camp alone; very young kits do not normally leave the nursery, however, older kits are allowed to do so; their names always end with -kit, except in some groups.
Elder - a retired warrior, queen,or deputy; elders are usually cared for by apprentices.
Ranks Outside Clans/Groups:
Loner - a cat that lives neither with a Clan/group or with humans, normally used for a friendly rogue.
Rogue - another term for loner, but more offensive; a cat, usually more hostile than a loner, who is part of no Clan/group, or a cat who was exiled from his/her original Clan/group; rogues will sometimes live with other rogues, but they generally travel alone or with their mate.
Kittypet - a cat that lives with humans,
