Hey, everybody!
We all know that a "Moon" in the book series is basically what the characters call a month. In fact, in reality, the time it takes for the moon to complete one cycle around the earth is so close to the number of days in a month that it might as well be the same thing. But did you know that the amount of time the moon takes to complete it's orbit around the earth is less than the number of days it takes to finish it's cycle? The moon takes 27.3 days to orbit earth, and 29.5 days do go from new moon to new moon.
And since there are 30 to 31 days in a month, not counting February, this means their is one extra moon cycle in a year than there are months, leaving us with 13 moons each year. So, if you think about it, that actually means that a cat in the Warriors world isn't a year old until they are 13 moons of age.
