Top Ten Worst Warrior Cat Parents

This, In my opinion, Is my list of the cruelest, Twisted parents in warrior cats
The Top Ten
1 Rainflower

I hate Rainflower! She deserves that she's at here. I think she must go to Dark Forest and fight Crookedstar during the last hope battle!
I think it will going like this:
Crookedstar went down from StarClan and fought next to other RiverClan cats. Suddenly he saw somebody was really similar to him. It was Rainflower!
"Mum," Crookedstar called, "Why-" Rainflower slammed at him.
" Oakheart is better than you! You are not my son anymore! I work for the Dark Forest, not StarClan! Also you are bad because you don't listen to Mapleshade! " She growled. She slammed Crookedstar again.
"Mum, no-"
"Stop it Rainflower! Stop abusing your son! " A calm but angry voice rang. A gray and white tom leaped out and pinned her.
"Who are you? " Rainflower asked, "Stop caring about that! "
"I am Moonstorm from StarClan," The tom growled, "I am Crookedstar's friend and I will keep calling him Stormstar! You ruined his life! " He bite Rainflower. Then she's dead.

2 Lizardstripe

Shouldn't this be like, number one? I understand that Rainflower is a terrible mother but unlike Lizardstripe, she still loved one kit at the very least. Lizardstripe hated all her kits in general! Brokenstar would have been an amazing cat if raised by Yellowfang! I admit, I am upset with how Yellowfang didn't keep her kit, but oh well. Who agrees with me?

Lizardstripe is mean, ugly and arrogant. She is seen as a Shadowclan queen. She is nursing her own kits in the Shadowclan nursery at the time YellowFang gave birth to Brokenkit. She is the only nursing queen at the time so Raggedstar asks her if she can take care of Brokenkit because YellowFang could no longer take care of her son anymore.

Lizardstripe is shown to be bad tempered and mean, sneering and calling poor young broken kit a UNWANTED LUMP OF FUR! How mean is that? Raggedstar snarls at her and says that she should be honoured to take care of the Clan Leaders kit. And for only that reason she unwillingly agrees as Raggedstar sets Brokenkit beside her.

Because of Lizardstripes bad tempered tone makes Brokenkit rude and unpleasant. Lizardstripe showed that the meaning of life was through harsh words and violence.

that's why Lizardstripe is such a bad parent!

3 Stormtail

Stormtail has to be the WORST father in history! When I first read Bluestar's Prophecy, I was triggered at Stormtail 98.7% of the time. He didn't even care about Bluestar or Snowfur! He didn't even care abut Moonflower either! Stormtail just spends all his time with Dappletail, and when Moonflower dies, he acts like he just met her yesterday! Like they weren't even close! Moonflower should have ditched Stormtail a long time ago! If I could change something in the series, I would make some other cat that actually cared about Bluestar and Snowfur their father. Heck, I'd rather have a kittypet be their father then this cold hearted mouse-brain! Stonepelt treated them better, and he wasn't even related to them! Stonepelt would have made a great father, but nope! Stormtail has to be their father! I feel bad for Bluestar, Snowfur, and Moonflower.

Okay, first things first is that at the beginning of the book of Bluestar's Prophecy, Stormtail legit growled at Bluekit because she went in the Warriors den. Okay, I know it's bad she went in there, but...she didn't know! Then Moonflower was the only one there for Bluepaw since she wasn't the friendliest to play with, Moonflower risked her life in WindClan to detroy all of there medicine supplies (Goosefeather, really? ) Stormtail DIDN'T EVEN GRIEVE FOR MOONFLOWER, I mean, Moonflower was his mate! Stormtail was never there for his kits, and it seems like he pretty much hated them from the start. That's why I vote for Stormtail (I also vote for Rainflower, Millie, and Crowfeather).

4 Spiderleg

Spiderleg is the worst. He gets into fights with Daisy all the time, and refused Daisy's gift to him when he got greencough in Long Shadows power of three. He is so ungrateful. He completely ignored the idea that he is a father. He should be the first on this list. SPIDERLEG SUCKS

I seriously Hate daisy. Spiderleg deserved better. Come on! He shouldn't be on this list his kits were Daisy's no wonder he didn't want them.

-.*Mistyfall*.-

Spiderleg and Daisy would have never worked out. Spiderleg's alway's been harsh.

5 Brightflower She is mother to Yellowfang and she accused her daughter of killing her second litter. However, she is a good and caring mother.
6 Thistleclaw Thistleclaw is a villain in the Warrior Cats series. Thistleclaw is a gray-and-white tabby tom with spiky fur and amber eyes

To all those people saying Thistleclaw made Tigerstar evil, he did not. He exersised his ambition, but he never made him evil. What made Tigerstar evil was the ambition to become a strong warrior, since his father left to become a kitty pet. Tigerstar wanted to prove himself, which he did, in the wrong way.

In my opinion I think thistleclaw was trying to make whitestorm evil but instead made tigerstar's ambition grow as a cat.

Bad parent through and through!

7 Tom

He abused his mate, then rejected his kits. However, when he decided he wanted them, he went to the forest, got rejected, went back to the forest, stole them, lied to them and the forest cats, and took them to a dangerous place that they weren't allowed to be in. Then, when Turtle Tail went to find them, she was killed and he didn't even care. Then, once they were safely home, he waltzed back into the forest like nothing happened. He was a jerk that didn't deserve to have kittens.

He stole his kits from Turtle Tail. Just so they would be taken from the twolegs. First he flirted with her, then he attacked Turtle Tail, insulted her, and stole the kits.

Tom stole his kits against their will- But he did that because he loved them.

8 Millie Millie is a character in the Warriors series. She's a small, short-furred light gray tabby with blue eyes and a torn ear. Also current mate of Graystripe and mother of Bumblestripe, Blossomfall and Briarlight.

I agree that Millie deserves this place on this list. She was a fine character and mom before Fading Echoes, even if she could be a little obsessive/overprotective of her kits. But when Briarlight became paralyzed, she changed. And for the worse. We barely see her with her other kits, and she was to the point /obnoxious/ with Briarlight. I don't believe she abused Blossomfall and Bumblestripe, but she neglected them. Not even Graystripe was as insane about his daughter. And remember when Jayfeather and Millie got into a fight over pushing Briarlight too hard? And Millie whined about how Briarlight will never "run through the forest, hunt with her siblings, oh, what a sad, sad life! "? Honestly, I just thought that proved how psychotic Millie had gotten about her kit. And you don't yell at your kit who just came out of a underground tunnel that your other paralyzed daughter would make a better warrior than her.

9 Sandgorse

Sandgorse wasn't that bad. He wasn't the best parent there ever was, but still he was okay. He should have let Tallstar do what he wanted, however.

I actually felt sorry for him, he just wanted Tallstar to be a tunneller. He died without him telling Tallstar that he forgives him...so sad...father and son have now reunited in Starclan.

He was a terrible father, He treated Tallstar like trash as a apprentince! I mean, Your kit may not follow in your pawsteps but don't blame him! He also yelled at him for what Dawnstripe told Heatherstar

10 Appledusk

"I'm going to be a father. Incredible.", Mapleshade's vengeance, chapter 1.
-"They are wonderful, Strong and brave, and as confident as any RiverClan cat in the water. I am so proud of you.", Chapter 3.
-"I'm not letting you do anything," he mewed. "Think of our kits! ". Reedshine glanced at her belly, barely swollen beneath her pelt. "I'm not sick! " she protested. "I know you're not," meowed Appledusk. "But our kits are too precious to risk Perchpaw injuring you by mistake! " - Appledusk about his unborn 2nd litter, Chapter 9.

Didn't want to accept Mapleshade because he blamed her for the death of his kits, showing he generally cares about them. Didn't want ask for their names from Mapleshade, because he didn't want to talk to her after she caused their deaths through her recklessness. Also sacrificed himself to save his unborn 2nd litter.

Not a bad father.

Not only was Applefart cheating on Mapleshade but Reedshine as well! Okay so according to Warriors Wiki Mapleshade's kits were 2 moons (months) old when they died and cats start getting pregnant for 58-67 days or over 2 months so the moment Maple had her children good old Applefart was off with Reedshine. None of you are changing my mind.

The Contenders
11 Palebird

Okay, guys, she wasn't a bad mom. At least, not in the purposeful way that Rainflower and Lizardstripe were. She had postpartum depression, something that is extremely difficult to deal with. If you've ever seen those news stories of moms killing their babies, this is often the cause. It's a serious mental issue that obviously wasn't helped with when Finchkit and Sandgorse died.

There are times when she tried to be happy, but couldn't. People who've suffered from this mental disorder often cannot bring themselves to feel truly happy, especially when it comes to their children. And it's not like they WANT to be that way either, they have no choice about it.

Obviously, Tallstar wasn't paying a lot of attention to what his mother was doing while he was out plotting murder. Woollytail stepped in at some point and started to help Palebird work through what she was dealing with. By time they had kits, Palebird was doing much better than she was before, and had obviously improved in condition.

In short, Palebird was not a bad mother. At least, not by choice. Do not compare her to Rainflower, who genuinely disliked Crookedstar. Just don't.

12 Hal
13 Clearsky

Clear Sky was a horrible father to begin with. He ignored the peril he set his mate in in The Sun Trail, resulting in her being carried off by a giant hawk whilst she was expecting his kits. Later on, he steals Gray Wing's mate and does nothing to stop her when she leaves his group expecting his kits.

Later, when Gray Wing came to his group with his only remaining son, even after he had heard that Storm had died with the others in a collapsing building and that he was his only current chance at becoming his father, he turned him away.

Moons afterwards, after the fire that enveloped his forest, Clear Sky offers to take Thunder in, which is a jerk move, considering he had thought much less of him before; it seems now that he only wants Thunder because he's older and has been taught how to hunt and fight. But okay, once Thunder accepted, it sounded like he just wanted to spend some quality time with his son and get to know him better.

Thunder, however, sees through him and realizes that his group is a horrible place to live. When Clear Sky has been running with some of the kits, they had complained of getting too tired and Clear Sky had simply told them to shake it off and argued that he was older and slower, so he shouldn't be winning. To kits who are still learning how to run, who have short and stubby legs. Who approved this man to be a father? Anyways, Thunder leaves his group, and Clear Sky despises him because of this.

A few books later, Clear Sky steals another cat's mate. This time, Thunder's. Yup, he stole his son's mateā€”and had kits with her. This time he did become somewhat of a good father, turning around now that he had a proper family. He cared for his kits this time, and after saving some kits from a tree, all the while comforting them, he had more positive experience. When his mate and kits were kidnapped, he saved them. He did all in his power to protect this new litter, and is now an actually good father.

Though... more

14 Crowfeather

Crowfeather's kind of odd for me. I do not in any way condone some of the absolute jerk-face things he's done (ex: ignoring Breezepaw and praising Lionpaw instead), but I also feel like he's capable of being a good father.

In Omen of the Stars, he defended Lionblaze from Breezepelt, and informed Breezepelt that he did not hate him. It was Nightcloud who made him think that way. Still, it's very much obvious that, somewhere along the line, Crowfeather just gave up on Breezepelt. That, or he simply never felt connected to him.

And on another note, he's deputy now. Harestar seems like a reasonable cat, and I'm sure he would not have made that choice if Crowfeather were really a dumpster fire. But who knows? Maybe it was just a choice of sympathy.

Now, obviously, we've never seen much from Crowfeather's point of view. It's one of the reasons why I'm looking forward to "Crowfeather's Trial". In this book, we'll finally see how Crowfeather really views his family and his past actions. Until then, we can't really say anything for absolute sure.

15 Tigerstar Tigerstar is a villain in the Warriors series by Erin Hunter. Son of Leopardfoot and Pinestar, former mate of Goldenflower and Sasha, and father of Bramblestar, Tawnypelt, Mothwing, Hawkfrost, and Tadpole. This brown tabby cat almost causes the downfall of the clans. But is killed, firstly by Scourge, who strips all his lives away. And then by Firestar, who moves on to StarClan when they meet again... read more

I disagree. Just because he was evil doesn't mean he was a bad parent. Personally, I think that it is Thistleclaw and Pinestar's fault. The reason he hates kittypets is because Pinestar left when he was at a young age, leaving him with Thistleclaw as a battle hungry father figure. As for his kits, Brambleclaw was able to become ThunderClan leader and he never forced Tawnypelt to join ShadowClan, she came not wanting to live in her father's shadow. With Hawkfrost abd Mothwing, Tigerstar let them leave with Sasha and trained Hawkfrost after he was killed. I just really don't think that Tigerstar is that bad of a parent. If you want a bad parent, talk to Rainflower and Millie.

I disagree. Tigerstar, for one, treated his two ThunderClan kits very well. He didn't force them to join him, and Brambleclaw ended up becoming ThunderClan leader. Tawnypelt wasn't forced into ShadowClan by her father-- she chose to go there of her own accord because she didn't want to fight against her Clanmates for being Tigerstar's spawn, like Brambleclaw did. Brambleclaw was willing to prove his worth, while Tawnypelt didn't want to fight that fight. The other litter, Hawkfrost and Mothwing, was mothered by Sasha, as we all know, who left Tigerstar to escape his regime. And he let her leave. He didn't want anything to do with them (maybe he did, but he didn't pursue them) until Hawkfrost found him and trained under him, pulling Brambleclaw down with him until Firestar was injured. Mothwing was fine without him, and so was Hawkfrost. I can understand why he wouldn't want to speak with them, since their mother (and his ex-mate) ran and returned to her loner life. Tigerstar was not a bad parent, in my opinion, and, even if he was evil and maybe a bit neglectful, he's definitely not "bad" enough to be on this list with Rainflower and Millie.

16 Silverstream SIlverstream is a character created by Erin Hunter to the book series named Warrior Cats. Silverstream is a sleek, soft, and thick-furred, slender, silver -and-black tabby she-cat with a finely shaped head, and bright blue eyes. She's the daughter of Crookedstar and Willowbreeze, former mate of Graystripe and mother of Feathertail and Stormfur. She used to be a Riverclan Warrior/Queen before joining... read more

Summary: (my own words)
Silverstream was a great cat. She was loving, caring, feisty, headstrong, and had a sense humor. She later fell in love with a cat named Graystripe from ThunderClan. They, in while, became mates, and had kits. Silverstream, sadly, died at birth. Her last word were, "Take care of out kits."
Quotes:
"I can't stop seeing him. I love him.
- Silverstream about Graystripe, to Firestar, pg 163, Fire and Ice
"Good-bye Graystripe. I love you. Take care of our kits."
- Silverstream's last words to to Graystripe, pg 222, Fire and Ice
Personality:
*Loving
*Headstrong
*Caring
*Feisty
*A sense of humor
*Gentle
*Loved
This shows that she loves her kits, as well as her mate. Case closed.
-FallingSky

Silverstream is not a bad parent. How is she number eight? She died kitting and her last words were 'take care of our kits'. When Feathertail died they were together. It isn't like she could come back alive. She shouldn't even be on this list.

17 Leafpool Leafpool is a character in the Warrior Cats series. She's the daughter of Firestar and Sandstorm, sister of Squirrelflight, mate of Crowfeather, and mother of Jayfeather, Lionblaze, and Hollyleaf

I really love Leafpool but... I think of the Crowfeather x Leafpool couple more like a "abuse" case. She never showed much feelings for him. But she should have told HollyLeaf that she is her mother.

I absolutely hate Leafpool. Don't try to change my mind or tell me I'm dumb because I just don't like her. She was stupid and I think Crowfeather would have been better off with Feathertail.

I love Leafpool, she would have been a good parent if a warrior, but I think that Squirrelflight should have kept the Three.

18 Pinestar

That foolish tom that didn't KNOW. Thanks to his selfishness, his kit grew up without a father. He expected his mate to get a new one? He doesn't know when you get a mate it means you love only them? He became a kittypet so he could keep his last life. And Tigerclaw became a traitor out to show he was worthy. People say Thistleclaw made him Tigerclaw evil, but duh, it was Pinestar.

Left his own kits to become a PATHETIC KITTY-PET! He is a Pathetic cat who wanted to get away from all the trouble that was happening in the clans when he found out his son, Tigerkit, was evil.
I actually fell sorry for Tiger kit how everyone teased his other, Pinestar, for giving up his role as can leader into a kitty pet...

One of the worst parents! I mean, he just up and left when Tigerkit was just a baby! What good parent does that?! He was also a coward for not wanting to lose his last life! What's better than dying for your Clan?! He would have walked with StarClan and been honored in memory!

19 Windstar
20 Nightcloud Nightcloud is a muscular black she-cat with amber eyes. She is a warrior of WindClan who served under Onestar and Harestar's leadership. Nightcloud became mates with Crowfeather after he came back from WindClan after becoming mates with ThunderClan's Medicine Cat, Leafpool. While Nightcloud bore three kits, only Breezepelt survived causing her to become incredibly overprotective of him. Nightcloud... read more

Nightcloud couldn't get Crowfeather to love her back, because he sucks. So she resorted to what probably a lot of people would do. If the father of your child is not in his life, you SPOIL THAT BABY! She didn't turn him evil! She made him arrogant yes, but not evil, THAT was crowfoods fault.

Nightcloud was so selfish and prissy, and terrible parent. All she cared about was herself.

Nightbrat is such a flawless, whiny Mary-Sue! She encourgaged her son to be a dirtbag ()! She's so selfish and she's like a little princess. ''Oh Crowfeather! Why don't you love me? I'm such a good mate to you and our son is perfect." OF COURSE SHE'S ON HERE!

21 Daisy

I have mixed feelings on Daisy. She was being all flirty and slutty to Cloudtail when she first joined ThunderClan, and was really mean to poor Brightheart about her scars. Cloudtail gently but firmly rejected her efforts to mate with him. She realized that he really didn't love her and instead loved Brightheart. She backed off, and started treating Spiderleg like she had treated Cloudtail. Spiderleg fell for her, and they had Rosepetal. I never read the second series or third series after book 1 (which I did enjoy as much as the first series and Firestar's Quest), only heard about the second series and read some excerpts and I hated Daisy at this point because of every reason that I've voiced. After that, I read Bramblestar's Storm, and felt that she had really matured because she became a great mother in that stand-alone and was secure with one mate. I like Daisy now!

22 Mapleshade Mapleshade is a character in the Warriors series by Erin Hunter. Mapleshade is a large, tortoiseshell-and-white she-cat, with a scarred white muzzle, and white patches throughout her pelt. She is thick-furred, and her pelt is ragged, patched, and scarred. Her fur is thick around her neck, like a mane, and she has a broad muzzle and face. She has amber eyes. she is mistakenly described as ginger-and-white... read more

Mapleshade had no choice but to escape to Riverclan. In my opinion, both Thunderclan and Riverclan leaders who had rejected Mapleshadow should be send to the Dark Forest since they not only just didn't accept Mapleshade, but they also rejected kits! Young, helpless kits! And remember in the Warrior Code? No matter what clan the kit is from, a clan cat must show mercy to them.

Well, she had no other choice, she got exiled from her clan and what would you do in that situation? I mean I would do exactly what she did.

Mapleshade killed cats for her kits to be free! Appledusk should be the one in the Dark Forest! She was a wonderful parent

23 Berrynose

Berrynose wasn't a bad father, and he genuinely loves Poppyfrost (likely more than he loved Honeyfern). Since becoming a parent, he's mellowed out, and made the conscious decision to do what he could to be a good mate and father. Really, the only thing he's guilty of is being overprotective.

Not the best warrior, but a great father (am I the only one who thinks Berrynose is a kinda good character? )

Berrynose is arrogant, I don't know why Honeyfern was so taken with him.

24 Bluestar Bluestar is a character in the Warrior Cats series. She was one of the leaders of ThunderClan. She broke the code by being mates with Oakheart of RiverClan and having her kits, Stonefur and Mistyfoot, and Mosskit. Stonefur and Mistyfoot live in RiverClan, while Mosskit died of hypothermia. She has a sister named Snowfur, a mother named Moonflower, and a father named Stormtail. Bluestar is a large,... read more

She gave up her kits so Thistleclaw wouldn't be the deputy. He was evil and she knew it. She had no choice. Thistleclaw would've turned ThunderClan evil. She loved her kits. Why is she on here?

I agree. She walked through a snowstorm w/ her kits, causing one of them to die. The only reason being is Thistleclaw might have been deputy, and we don't even know for sure he would have.

( Now, I do love Thistleclaw, but I still don't think he would have been the greatest leader. )

Thank God Bluestar is on here. I hate her so much, and she was a terrible mother. I actually made an angry rant about it on the Top Ten Best Mothers in Warriors

25 Dustpelt

Dustpelt was a great parent to all his kits, especially Foxleap and Icecloud. They are the only two of his kits I like anyway.

"He was just terrible, especially when it came to being a father."

He hated spiderleg and shrewpaw when they were kits.And when he found out birchfall was training with the dark forest he didn't even give him a chance to explain himself,he just got angry at him and mourned for fernpelt when he didn't mourn for foxleap,icecloud or shrewpaw. Such a horrible father
