The leader calls a Clan Meeting, and performs the change with the following words:
Leader: Spirits of Starclan, you know every cat by name. I ask you now to take away the name from the cat you see before you, for it no longer stands for what (he/she) is. By my authority as Clan leader, and with the approval of our warrior ancestors, I give this cat a new name. From this moment on (he/she) will be known as (new name), for (description of the reason).
A cat can also request a name change, if they would like their name or someone else's name to be changed.
