So my idea is that the gatheringplace sits in a large artificial clearing littered by large tree stumps and logs, left by twolegs who thought to make a profit off the logging industry. For some reason, they abandoned the endeavour a long time ago, leaving the place to be reclaimed by nature. The leaders, medics, and deputies sit on three of the largest log piles. The attending cats can either compete for a spot on a tree stump or log, generally lined with moss for comfort, or can sit on the ground. Elders, if they come, would be given priority on the more favourable spots. Some of the larger logs and log piles piles have vines slung across them to make it easier for cats to climb up them. I think it would be cool if in one corner of the gatheringplace partially separated from everyone else, there's a place where cats can just chill. I titled it the nook in the project (because why not), and it would be used as a spot for cats who don't really want to listen to the gathering to hangout while stuff happens. My adhd brain would not be able to sit still for as long as I think a gathering would be, and I'm pretty sure at least some cats would share the sentiment. A unnatural amount of flowers are planted in the clearing, perhaps left by past leaders to commemorate peace, war, or changing times in general. (idk thought that would be cool) The ground would have a bunch of stray woodchips and twigs (as a logging site in the past), despite cats best efforts to clear them away. Some cats as a result bring large leaves or moss to help make sitting more comfortable, resulting in a large amount of both strewn around. There would be no assigned spots for the clans to sit, to encourage cats to meet new friends or whatever. However, the clans tend to form clumps anyways, with a couple interclan cliques off to the side or groups of mingling friends chatting.
I was too lazy to do lineless art like normal so.. there's lines! *gasp*
