History[]
In the Tigerstar and Sasha arc[]
Into the Woods[]
- "Then this morning, these housefolk I've never seen before came and talked to him... and he shut me inside the house, and he left with them. He even locked the cat door! He never does that!"
- ―Sasha on Ken's departure Into the Woods, pages 7-8
- Sasha goes into the woods and makes a temporary den near a Twoleg path, as that is where she thinks Ken would be likely to find her. When Pine removes her collar for her, she doesn't want to get rid of it just yet, as Ken and Jean gave it to her. Later, after refusing to throw her collar away, Sasha has a dream that she was back home when Ken was still there and Jean was alive. Throughout the book, Sasha believes Ken will come back, but as it turns out, he sent a friend to feed and care for her as he was leaving to the retirement home.
Escape from the Forest[]
- "And this housefolk is no Ken. He's much too clumsy."
- ―Sasha comparing Ken to the captain Escape from the Forest, page 49
Return to the Clans[]
- Ken is mentioned in a story by Sasha that she was telling to her kits, Moth, Hawk, and Tadpole. Tadpole suggests he and his siblings should go find Ken, and they end up venturing to Twolegplace. They don't find Ken, and are trapped in a flooding basement, leading to the death of Tadpole.
