Unavailability and returning of OakClan

I am sooo sorry for not being able to post and keep OakClan the last few months. Please forgive me! But I'm back and OakClan is back! Please cut me some slack as I get caught up on ceremonies. Thanks to all!!

Technical problems and Rockstar's return

(I have not been able to get on in over a week due to an unexpected computer breakdown. Please be patient while I try to finish the story on the 'Jouneys' page) Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath the Great Oak for a celebration *Rockstar yowls and the Clan gathers* Today, Leopardpelt and Shadowpool escorted CloudClan to their home. Thank StarClan we have finished the journey and restored a Clan. We grieve for the loos of the former leader of CloudClan, Froststar. She hunts with StarClan now.

Froststar! Froststar!

Congratulations to Mousetail, who kitted last night. She is now nursing a she-cat and a tom. She has decided on Squirrelkit for the she-cat and Darkkit for the tom.

Squirrelkit! Darkkit!

Gathering tomorrow night!

There is a gathering tomorrow night and the following cats will attend it: Tigerstripe, Rockbelly, Thunderstorm, Fuzzyfern, Brindleclaw, Pinefur, Whitenose, Blizzardfur, Emberleaf, Whiteberry, Featherwhisker, Dovepaw, Cinderpaw, Wildpaw, Gorsepaw, Oakpaw, Mintpaw and Lightfrost. The rest of you will guard the camp. This will be an important gathering since I will be filling in for Rockstar. We will not tell the other clans anything about Rockstar and Tigeroak's journey. We will just tell them she was unable to come and that's it. No one is to breathe a word is that understood!? *Clan nods*
