Mates Mates is the Clan terminology for a partnership between a tom and a she-cat.

Mates are usually two cats that get along, and are seen together quite often. Most mates are within the same Clan, like Ivypool and Foxleap, though others are in different Clans, like Pinenose and an unknown RiverClan tom. The latter is against the warrior code, and is regarded with distaste from other Clan cats.

Mates can break-up, an example of mates breaking up is Dovewing and Bumblestripe. There are many reasons why mates break up, some of which are, distaste for their mate's actions, one not loving the other anymore, and mistrust. Though rare, breaking-up does happen and in some cases, cats will reconcile and become mates again.

There are three restrictions for having a mate, they are as follows, cats from two different Clans may not become mates, a medicine cat may not have a mate, and apprentices cannot become mates with another cat.
