Maybe he does care for fish after all~
When they lived in the Old Forest, ShadowClan had warriors who slept during the day and hunted and patrolled at night.
This practice was started by Shadowstar herself during the last, paranoia-filled days of her life. She worried that her Clan would be unprepared should anything surprise them as they slept. And so, she picked out a few cats to work at night and ensure that ShadowClan was never caught off-guard.
Among young cats with little knowledge of this, tales of shadowy figures and whispers from nowhere spread like wildfire. Kits were often told that ghosts haunted the grounds of ShadowClan. But among more experienced warriors, ShadowClan was nicknamed “the Sleepless Clan”.
After the move to the Lake, the practice slowly died out. Though some elders speak of it with nostalgia, most cats only know it as one of many traditions that faded with the changing times.
