Collecting the Toys
Decide what brand you want to get. Beanie Babies and Webkinz are fairly popular and high-quality brands.
Go onto eBay or Amazon. These sites have many different listings for nearly every cat plushie in the popular brands, have a look around.
Find a site with all the brand's plushies. If you are looking for TY Beanie Baby cats, go onto tycollector.com and Ctrl+Fcats, look through each page and write down which ones you want.
Understand the rarity of the plushies. TY Chip the cat is fairly common and cheap, but shortly distributed cats like SCARED-E or Purr are rarer. If you see a rare one for cheap, buy it!
Start the collection. Give each cat their names.
Naming the Toys
Name your black and white cat. Look at WindClan names or other black-and-white cats' names. Think of names like: Black----- Tall----- Breeze------ Swift----- Running----- Peak----- Strike----- Cloud-----
Name your black cat. Look at Dark Forest cats or other black cats' names. Think of names like: Crow----- Black----- Shadow----- Dark----- Night----- Midnight----- Claw-----
Name your ginger cat. Look at ThunderClan names or other ginger cats' names. Think of names like: Fire----- Ginger----- Squirrel----- Flame----- Ember----- Russet----- Fox------
Name your grey cat. Look at RiverClan cats or other grey cats' names. Think of names like: Silver----- Grey----- Ash----- Cinder----- Thistle----- Smoky----- Smoke-----
Avoid forbidden prefixes. Try to avoid: Star----- (in case that cat becomes leader and is named Starstar) Thunder, River, Shadow or Wind----- (Disrespectful to the original leaders) Human objects like cookies or cars (cats do not know about these, however, you may have it on a kittypet)
Look at the details on the cat. Does it have a nick in its ear? Differently colored paws? Flattened muzzle? Long pelt? Some of the main suffixes used in the books are: Claw Pelt Fur Flight Star Breeze Feather Tail Foot Nose Wind Wing Brook Pool Leaf Herb Fang
Coming Up with the Plot
Describe the characters. Is that ginger tabby energetic? Is the grey tabby quiet? Is the black cat ambitious? If you want, you can write down their personalities and maybe even make a friendship chart.
Think of a basic base. Does one cat turn evil and destroy the Clan? Or how about the Clan has to move camp due to Twolegs? The possibilities are endless!
Get a friend to help you. Having two people think about it will make it more varied and interesting.
Playing
Grab a friend. Playing with another person will be more fun and may make the characters more varied.
Find a camp. You can make it your bedroom, your school, or the living room.
Find something to use for landmarks. Have some pillows or a chair for Highrocks or a leader's announcement place. Maybe have the stairs be the mountains where the Tribe of Rushing Water lives? Let your imagination run wild!
Record it! You may not want to record it but if you have to stop playing you may forget what you were doing. Or you may want to upload it to a video sharing site for others to see!
