AILMENTS
Cough- a sickness that is like a human cold. Just coughs and sneezes; can be dangerous to kits or young cats.
Greencough- a sickness similar to pneumonia that is often rampant among the Clans in leaf-bare. Symptoms include wheezing, pus excreted from the eyes, fever, and green phlegm streaming from the nose and mouth.
Whitecough- a mild sickness like a cold. More common than greencough, but can become greencough or even the fatal blackcough. Symptoms include sneezing and white phlem streaming from the nose, and a slightly high temperature.This is similar to kittencough, which is the least harmful of all coughs and is mostly caught by kits.
Blackcough- a fatal sickness that spells certain death for any cat who catches it. Symptoms are unknown, but the "black" might be blood.
Chill- a very mild ailment usually caused by very cold weather or falling into icy water. Much like whitecough, but with cold chills.
Cracked pads- a painful ailment usually seen in elderly cats. The pawpads crack from cold or dryness, and if untreated can lead to infection. Symptoms include swelling of the paws and pain.
Aching joints- basically arthritis in cats. Caused by age or damp weather. Symptoms include pain and stiffness.
Bleeding- When injured cats lose blood quickly, for example, during a battle.
