Lots of queen questions!

[CaℳI]

So I've realized I have a few questions about queens that have been building up, and I never actually ask them in chat....cause we all agree I already ask enough questions there right. C; So here they are...(sorry if these are already replied to somewhere else, I haven't seen them so I figured it doesn't hurt to ask) ^^

In all clans do litters have to be moved up with their littermates? I know Splash does it that way for Midnightclan, but how about the rest of the clans? What if someone was to go inactive....would I never get to move my kit up because the other kit couldn't move up with mine? O.o

How long after a queen has a litter can she have another?

When the kits become apprentices do I HAVE to age my cat 6 moons? If I didn't....would it make sense for a cat that is 16 moons to have paws who are 6 moons? -___- Do other people do it like that? Then what happens when they become warriors? O.o I don't think I can have a 16 moons cat with kits that are 12 moons. ;__;

How old is too old on this site for a cat (she-cat or tom) to have a litter of kits?

Thanks guys! ^^

On that first statement, I highly disagree. I don't mind a shit ton of questions, and I don't really keep you in mind as someone who asks a lot.

1. No they do not. It would be nice for that to happen, but the main issues are members not wanting to age up their kits quite yet because they haven't had the time to RP them yet (this one's big for me quite often), people being inactive, people not really caring to tell the leader's RPer that their kit/s need to age up, etc. If you want your kit to be ranked up, just make sure that the 12-day requirement is filled and request on the ceremony thread or whatever your leader's RPer has.

2. At least one of the kittens must be of apprentice rank. For loners, rogues, and kittypets, I'd probably give this half a month to a month because it's hard to age them. The ages really do stagger when a she-cat has kits, but there isn't too much we can do about this but try to keep track of those around us and how they're aging their cats so we don't end up with a queen at 20 moons having senior warrior kittens.

3. Cats can reproduce until they die, unless fixed, but for the sake of the series, probably when they're elder-aged, which is also a kind of hard one to measure out, since different people have different views as to what this age is. Personally, since they live around 7-8 years (unless they're Firestar, Mousefur, and a few others), I'd say about 6 years (72 months) would be an elder-aged cat.
