In this book you follow Firepaw as he makes friends, enemies and learns to live with the warrior code. Rusty earns his place in the clan and a right to be trained as an apprentice with the new name Firepaw by losing his collar and bell in a fight for his honour with the young warrior tom, Longtail. Warriors are cats that have been trained by other more experienced warriors as apprentices to fight other clans and defend their clan, but most of all to hunt prey. He is a "kitty pet" (a cat that lives with "two legs") who gets invited by Bluestar, the leader, and Whitestorm, to join Thunder Clan because they are short on warriors.

Into the Wild is the first of many books by Erin Hunter about four clans of wild cats living without the help of humans or "two legs." The main character, at least in this series, is a ginger tom called Rusty.
