To the right of the Highbranch (skipping the nursery) and facing the clearing is the medicine den, where the medicine cat keeps their herbs and cares for sick cats. The den itself is one of the few boulders on the island, seemingly carved out specifically for this purpose. More like a cave than a boulder, the medicine den is small, but roomy enough for multiple cats to sleep inside at the same time with room to spare. Large crevices are used for herb storage, and in the back, the ground slopes gently down into a small pool on the other side of the wall, which is where the medicine cat gets water for their sick patients.
