A medicine cat's main job is to heal their fellow Clanmates from their wounds and sicknesses. They have many
ways of doing so, mostly through herbs and berries throughout the medicine cat of their Clan's store. It has been
noted by Erin Hunter that these remedies should never be used on pet cats, and that sick pets should be seen to by
a vet instead.[1]
