the dam:;

The dam is many things but you could describe it simply in two words, "the camp." Though it is not truly a dam, it's a cat-made structure that is sort of like an unnatural peninsula. A narrow path of mud leads to a medium sized "island" made out of sticks, mud, and reeds. The whole entire camp is covered by a 'ceiling' of sticks, with a thin layer of mud, then brambles covering that to keep the mud in place. In this camp there are no dens, all the cats sleep and wake together.
