So as I was trying to fall asleep last night in had a thought. What if there was an out break of rabies among the clans? Such a thing would be unlikely since with the rabies vaccine out now there aren't many animals that have it. But the disease is still out there and there are still animals that have it. So what if a patrol runs into a fox that has it? I could see this being a huge blow because A there is no cure and B the only way to stop it from spreading is to kill the animals that have it.((well, vaccinating your pet too, but clan cats don't really know about that )) and C if an animal has rabies it will die and the death is not pleasant. Most people think of the second stage when they think of rabies, that is the stage where the animal is super aggressive and attacks for no reason. But there is a stage before and a stage after. Stage one is a hard to catch, there is a very slight change in the animals behaviour, I've already mentioned staged two, stage three is probably the more horrific part for the animal. Muscles seize up and stop working eventually this leads to the heart stopping and that is what eventually kills the animal.
I imagine most medicine cats have never even heard of it. So if it were to happen it would be worse than any green cough out break.

Clans would probably leave the territory if it spreads e3e

England has no rabies carrying animals. Because of this, it couldn't happen in the canon setting.

Because of this, it couldn't happen in the canon setting. when did the authors of this fictional story say that they would only use real elements from their home country? in fact i think they mentioned that the opposite has occurred. and i think it was only the old forest that was even somewhat based on a place in england even then its still fiction and isn't going to be restricted to realism.

Any animal can be rabid. Some are more prone to it than others. But any animal can catch it. Of course the only way to catch it is the body fluids of an infected animal to go into the bloodstream. This is usually done with a bite but there are other ways for it to happen too. Most people just think of biting because that's how the disease usually spreads.
While I think they will keep things mostly realistic. It is a fictional story so they can be flexible. Cats don't live in organized clans or have nine life's in real life either.

Because of this, it couldn't happen in the canon setting. the OS took place in England, but the lake is not based on any particular place, and TNP has a mountain lion…which is American anyway, I'm not really sure how they could deal, plotwise, with the rabies--it just seems like since they wouldn't know what was going on, it would spread too fast for them to find out a solution? it could be interesting, but without even the ability to go pick some plants or something to cure it, I don't know if it would work in the books

I could imagine the healthy cats would be conflicted morally with leaving the infected to die alone and to abandon the territory to save their own pelts or with staying behind in hopes of finding a cure
I mean, the disease would spread fast, and it's completely unknown to them, but there might be cats of high influence that think they could try to find a cure, while there would be others that think it's hopeless and that they should leave before all the clans die off

I feel like the Erins will drop it on us when the rest of the first arc characters die. Only their few favorites survive and have to build up the clans again in new territory with rogues.

Y'know, I'd like to think of the rabies idea as a "zombie apocalypse" of sorts. But it is unlikely that an apocalypse will happen (although it's a cool plot idea), so the Clans would most likely have to move if the disease gets too out of hand.

I honestly really like this idea of rabies, but it would have to happen (if it happens) really really late in the books (because honestly it would suck for it to happen again after moving already)

I feel like it there was an outbreak of rabies, the cats would either die off or have to move away. They obviously have no axes to the vaccine, and would quickly realize how deadly it was. Of course, even in the human world, rabies is difficult to treat. Even with human intervention to try and stop it, it can still kill large groups of animals.

That would be practically the end of the world as the Clans know it, that's for sure, considering how dangerous the disease can be. Keep in mind that they don't have humans to give them vaccines for it. Medicine cats can do all they can, but, not everything has a cure.
Thunder and Shadow spoilers.
But I have a feeling that it would just be exactly like the yellowcough thing. New disease, new healing herb magically shows up outta nowhere, and yay, the day is saved.

Rabies would be interesting in the clans, a bit like zombies. It would be interesting to see a couple of cats let's say they are really close. And then one gets infected. And gets very aggressive towards the others and lose consciousness. It could be very sad, but interesting to see. Something the Erins would probably do.

The Erins aren't afraid of making the series dark, that's for sure.

❈ -- They'll go to the twolegs and beg for help. They help them cause they can't resist seeing cute kitties having such a thing. Problem solved.
oh wait, but then they also need a clanmate to trap their rabies infested clanmate in a mini twoleg den thing and then they'll ask the twolegs for help.

The Walking Dead/Warriors Crossover! in all seriousness, it would be like TWD but with Warriors characters.

Someone wrote about this in the complete medicine cat guide (it was called "cloudmouth"). The only thing the cats could do was sedate the patients, take them outside Clan territory, and let them die… The clan leader could also order the medicine cat to give the patient deathberries, or sane patients could ask for it…
Overall, I think of that was an outbreak, many, many cats would die… The survivors would have to move, or make sure everyone infected was out of their home. After that, they would have to band together, either as one entity, or long enough to repopulate the Clans…
