Wannabe artist and adorer of books. I mostly share my very random thoughts about the Warrior Cats books and sometimes also post some art. Reposts very appreciated!

Random Warrior Cats thought: I think it's an interesting contrast that Firestar was willing to go against the warrior code when he thought it was justified, only for his granddaughter Hollyleaf to be like "You must follow the warrior code at all costs!"

Warrior Cats question: Some cats are described as having a "shredded" ear, but wouldn't that affect their hearing? Cat ears are shaped like that to pick up more noises, but I feel like the books don't address how a cat's hearing would be changed when an ear is that badly damaged.

Warrior Cats question because I'm not caught up on all of the books: Did we ever find out who gave Squirrelstar her nine lives, or is that still being held off until some future book? Because that seems like a pretty important detail in her life to just drop and never talk about.

That time Rusty went into the forest and then he ended up in ThunderClan.

What's your favorite "The Hunters forgot their own lore" moment in Warrior Cats? Things like how they forgot someone died previously, who mentored who, or who was related to who and things like that.

Always thought it was funny in Warrior Cats the clan cats say kittypets are soft and weak, even though there's multiple instances of kittypets kicking the asses of entire patrols of warriors. They really started the kittypet hate because they were mad at Pinestar, didn't they?

I'm not great with sprite edits, but I thought about doing this particular April Fools edit on the Warriors Wiki ever since I did one for Christmas.

My only regret is someone beat me to putting this in the pixel slot. I got there right at midnight but it was already changed. 😢

Bluestar's Prophecy will always drive me up a wall like what do you mean you introduced an entire cast of new and completely unrelated characters only to have a small handful of them have children and consequently retcon everyone in the first arc to be directly related?

Question for Warrior Cats artists: How do you draw Cloudtail?

Sometimes, I'll be playing around with drawing and how I want to develop my art style and I suddenly come up with a random new character.

Playing around with a Warrior Cats AU/Headcanon that after Scourge kicks them out of Bloodclan, Ruby and Socks managed to survive, find mates of their own, and have kits and later grandkits.

I realized after I posted this that I accidentally lightened Tigerstar in the fourth panel when I was attempting to lighten the backgrounds. (Backgrounds were too dark when 50% of the characters are also dark.)

Here's a fixed version:

I want to see Warrior Cats have either an arc or at least a subplot where a dog/pack of dogs helps the clans. We already had Millie speaking to dogs, why not have a dog who was raised with cats or something and learned how to speak to them?

It's been a while since I tried drawing my original four Warrior Cats OCs, so I took another shot at it. I feel like I've improved in some ways, and other ways I still have room for improvement.

Warrior Cats thought: We've had cats who lived their entire lives with their apprentice name. But what if a cat lived their entire life with their kit name? Maybe their mother left the clans for some reason, but kept their kit's name and decided not to change it as the kit grew?

With a random Warrior Cats article about Darkstripe being posted, I felt inspired to draw him.

What if there was a prequel book to Mapleshade's Vengeance? Maybe have the perspective shift between Mapleshade and Appledusk. We could see how they met and fell in love, but with the tragic romance angle because we already know how their stories end.

Looking back at 2024, I feel like this is the first time in my life where I felt motivated to get serious about my art and improving my style. I still have a long way to improve, but hopefully in 2025, I'll be making Warrior Cats and OCs like the best of 'em!

See you next year!

Warrior Cats thought: How often do you think parents name their kits with their warrior name already in mind? I gotta imagine cats like Longtail and Blackfoot had parents thinking "Yeah, I know exactly what our leader is gonna name you!"

Warrior Cats question: Say you can pick a background cat for the authors to write a super edition for. The most random cat who previously watched the events of the main story from a different perspective, but they'll give readers new information from their view. Who do you pick?

Do you think cats in StarClan hold a vigil for spirits who faded or died twice? They wouldn't have a body to share tongues with at that point, but some of these cat spirits spend decades together up there, they should have something to mourn one of them not being there anymore.

Still think it's wild that Perchpaw just jumps into existence, kills Mapleshade, and then backflips into the void of forgotten characters and nobody ever mentions him again.
