You're in a crisis. As Clan leader, you and your Clanmates are facing the harshest leaf-bare you've ever seen. Hunting patrols hardly offer more than a meager catch or two. Enemies seem more rampant as well, as several sightings of dogs and badgers have been reported in the territory.
However, you are not the only Clan suffering.
Another Clan is facing the same problems as yours, and both of you watch bitterly as the other Clans enjoy more prey than you, less dangers than you, and an all around better life than you.
When presenting your troubles to the other Clans at a Gathering, they refuse to help, saying they cannot risk the lives of their Clan for yours. There are now rumors of attacking the other Clans' camp, or hunting on their territory.
You aren't sure if your Clan can survive this season.
What will you do?

I'd allow my clan to steal prey from other territories, especially from the river which should hopefully still have fish. Unless it's frozen over.
My thoughts are, if the clans attack I need my clanmates strong and as well fed as possible. So might as well prepare for the inevitable.

I would share hunting grounds with the other Clan that is suffering. Perhaps with doubled hunting grounds, we could all find enough. I would also send patrols out to Twolegplace to see if there's any hunting there. I would organize consistent border patrols made up of the strongest, most well-wed warriors to protect every cat, and would allow the medicine cat to ask other Clans for herbs. Something quite random, I would spread beech nuts everywhere, all over the territory. Beech nuts are known for attracting prey. And cats would be able to work on deep holes to find hibernating prey.

I'd manipulate the clans that are thriving into fighting with each other, that way, when they come to my clan, asking for aid, I'll agree to help them, but only if they help me as well. If that doesn't work out, then break code 15, I would be the leader after all, so my word is the warrior's code, so if I say that those who are in my clan can eat kittypet food, then so be it.

Interesting response! Good tactic, and good back-up plan too

That's actually pretty interesting. Hopefully the Clans wouldn't bicker over the shared hunting grounds and what Clan gets what prey. Maybe split all the catches in half? Good plan for the patrols and warriors and herbs part. Scattering beech nuts would actually prove useful too

Plan A: Expand my territory. If nobody's there why can't I take it? If the hunting there is good, I'd keep hunting there until newleaf, or atleast for a while so the prey starts to come back.
Plan B (backup plan): If that doesn't work, learn to fish and use the lake (hopefully it's not frozen).
Plan C (backup backup plan): If both of those plans fail, I'd pull a Tigerstar and start a trail from the badgers or foxes dens to the good clans. When their camps are destroyed and they come for help, I'd make a deal with them: Food for shelter.
Plan D (if all else fails): Twoleg food.

I’d try hunting outside of my territory (but not in another clan’s) and maybe allying with the other struggling clan.

Get kittypet food, or steal prey. Desperate times call for desperate measures, hmm?

If it is extremely bad, then faking suicide and going into self imposed exile to escape the problem.
I would make a deal with the Dark Forest and have them wipe out the other clans before my clan steals their territory.
This isn’t what I would do, but what I would would have done has been said already and no one has thought of the above scenarios yet.
