Top 10 Best Warriors Medicine Cats

The Top Ten

Cinderpelt

Cinderpelt is a Medicine Cat from the Warriors book series by Erin Hunter. She is described as a small, fluffy, sleek, and soft-furred she-cat with a smoky dark gray coat and wide blue eyes. Originally, she trained as a Warrior apprentice but was redirected to the path of a Medicine Cat after a monster... read more

She was a great medicine cat. She helped Littlecloud and Whitethroat and created a remedy for what seemed to be an incurable sickness - a sickness so severe that others were too afraid to approach the cats.
But Cinderpelt believed it was right to help them, so she secretly cured them and opened their hearts. Like in Tigerclaw's Fury, the others didn't agree with him, and it was all because of Cinderpelt.
She was also smart, wise, funny, caring, and kind. She pushed through her problems, kept her head up, and not just with determination, but with a smile. Her dreams and leg were crushed, but her spirit was not. I can see why StarClan chose to reincarnate her.
Yellowfang

Yellowfang was a medicine cat originally from ShadowClan in the Warriors series by Erin Hunter. After being exiled by her son, Brokenstar, she was discovered by Firepaw, who later became Firestar, and taken into ThunderClan. There, she became a respected medicine cat and mentor.... read more

Yellowkit was different from the beginning. She had a flat muzzle, unlike the sleek-nosed ShadowClan cats. As she grew, she realized she had a power that no other cat had. When she fought, she could feel the pain from the wounds of other cats. She then discovered that StarClan had guided her toward the life of a medicine cat.
Encouraged by her new mentor, the medicine cat Sagewhisker, Yellowfang navigated through her rough life. With much horror, she discovered that she loved the leader Raggedstar. They had three kits, but only the angry tom with the crooked tail survived. Painfully, she gave up Brokenkit to the queen Lizardstripe, claiming that she had found him in the forest.
Eventually, after Yellowfang refused to follow her son Brokenstar's cruel rules, she was banished. She was later found and brought to ThunderClan by Firestar, where she died peacefully while saving the elders from the fire.
Jayfeather

Jayfeather is a character from the Warrior Cats series. He is part of the prophecy group known as The Three, along with Lionblaze and Dovewing, and possesses the ability to read other cats' minds, sense emotions, and enter their dreams. He was born blind, which shapes much of his perspective and role... read more

A really snappy and grumpy medicine cat, but he has a heart of gold. Jayfeather takes his job very seriously and is shown blaming himself when others didn't survive.
If a cat overexaggerates, he will solve the problem and snap at them.

"There will be three, kin of your kin, who hold the power of the stars in their paws." That was the prophecy given to Firestar by Skywatcher, an ancient SkyClan cat. It turned out that the three cats were Jayfeather, his brother Lionblaze, and their kin Dovewing. Jayfeather was born blind, but that didn't stop him from using his powers: the ability to walk in other cats' dreams and read their minds. In the dreams, he was not blind. He could see! Jayfeather did everything he could to save his sister Hollyleaf, but the wounds from Hawkfrost and his Dark Forest cats were too strong, and Hollyleaf died of blood loss. Jayfeather was the best medicine cat a Clan could wish for.
Leafpool

Leafpool is a character in the Warrior Cats series. She is the daughter of Firestar and Sandstorm, sister of Squirrelflight, mate of Crowfeather, and mother of Jayfeather, Lionblaze, and Hollyleaf. Leafpool serves as a medicine cat and plays a key role in many of the series' storylines.

The best medicine cat. She had such a difficult history, and people hate her because of it. But she paid for it. She gave up everything she loved most: her mate. Her kits (she handed them over to Squirrelflight). And her place as medicine cat of ThunderClan. Why does she need to suffer even more? It's unfair on her!
I think that she was so brave to follow her heart over her head. It led to the Clans' survival because if Jayfeather and Lionblaze hadn't been born, who would have been there to save everyone? I hate to have to mention Leafpool's kits because it's like taking the glory away from her. But Leafpool was always so calm and patient. Who could blame her for falling in love, especially after the sacrifices she makes?
Spottedleaf

Spottedleaf was a medicine cat under Bluestar's leadership in the forest territories. She was born as Spottedkit to Adderfang and Swiftbreeze along with her littermates, Redkit and Willowkit. Initially, Spottedpaw was apprenticed to Thrushpelt but decided to become a medicine cat with Featherwhisker... read more

SHE IS NOT A MARY SUE!
Spottedleaf is NOT perfect because she loved Thistleclaw. Also, she was one of the most talented medicine cats in Warrior Cats history. She did love Firestar, but she didn't break the code, so I don't get why people hate her so much. She supported him and died in battle!
Also, Firestar really loved Spottedleaf too. He said that there would be no cat like Spottedleaf in the forest again. Spottedleaf is NOT OBSESSED with Firestar and his kin. She guided Leafpool and Jayfeather, and any StarClan cat has the right to do that, especially her, because she was a medicine cat!
She was kind and gentle, and she sacrificed herself for the kits and Sandstorm. I don't get why Sandstorm is jealous of Firestar and Spottedleaf, because Spottedleaf gave her life to Sandstorm and was super kind to her, even though she took away someone she loved.
Littlecloud

He is by far the best! Unlike most medicine cats, who are selfish with herbs, he is kind with them, but is still loyal to his Clan! He helps cats outside of his Clan and just tries to support everything.
-ThatweirdAstr@

Littlecloud sought shelter in ThunderClan with Whitethroat during ShadowClan's Great Sickness. Thankfully, Cinderpelt cared for them and sent them away as night dawned.
Once the sickness ended, Littlecloud was inspired by Cinderpelt to become a medicine cat. He was a great medicine cat and lived for many, many long moons. His death was never shown, but he is remembered as a brave and loyal medicine cat.
Mothwing

Mothwing is a fictional character from the Warrior Cats book series created by Erin Hunter. She is a golden she-cat with amber eyes and darker gold dapples. Mothwing is the daughter of Tigerstar, introduced in the The Prophecies Begin arc, and Sasha.... read more

I definitely love Mothwing! Although she always denied StarClan, even after The Great Battle with Dark Forest, it was for a reason. She didn't believe, firstly, because her mother was Sasha, who was not a Clan cat and didn't really believe in how the Clans acted with their Warrior code and all that. Even though she had all that evidence around her, she just denied it all!
Mothwing's purpose was not just for healing. She had to see a different way of things to convince Jayfeather to do it too! She is sweet and stubborn, kind and caring, but most hate her because of her beliefs. They are just different from theirs! Why are those haters so rude? She has to carry the weight of being Tigerstar (1)'s daughter, and a rogue's too. Sasha always loved her, even in the darkest times.
Mothwing knows she might not become part of StarClan because she doesn't believe in it, but who knows? What if she has secret feelings?
Runningnose

I used to make fun of him, and I laughed whenever he sniffed or touched muzzles with some cat, but then I read Yellowfang's book. He's so lovable! Sure, he taunted Brokenkit, but he actually stopped! And he was so adorable when he hung around Yellowfang. I was proud of him.
He was so kind to his mentor and supported her throughout. He was thoughtful, considerate, and such a cool medicine cat! He doesn't let his nose bog him down; (out of context that sounds kind of weird) he continues to help those around him and continues to be an incredible cat.

Runningnose was Yellowfang's loyal apprentice. Unlike his mentor, he was born with an interest in herbs. He was a medicine cat from the start.
After Yellowfang was thrown out, Runningnose was still young and didn't know what to do. His herb store was dry and unused because the cats he tried to treat were already dead by the time he reached them. Runningnose died free of Brokenstar's reign.
Echosong

Her pelt is gorgeous, and she is a great medicine cat after not even living in a clan her whole life. It was so sad when she died.

She started as an ordinary kittypet then suddenly became a medicine cat. She had no mentor to teach her and knew almost nothing about herbs, but with help from StarClan, she became a stunning medicine cat who saved many lives.

Beautiful name, and gentle plus kind personality. Perfect for a medicine cat!
Willowshine

Willowshine is perfect for the job, already deciding that she wanted to do it when she was a kit, helping Mothwing with the StarClan part of her job, and stepping up for her mentor.

I was like, finally, a cat who actually believes in StarClan! She's perfect for the job. It was her destiny. She was already helping Mothwing as a kit. That's saying something.

She stands up for Mothwing, her mentor, even when she knows that Mothwing does not believe in StarClan. Nice, Willowshine!

The Newcomers

Flipclaw

You did your best, Flipclaw. I know you weren't a medicine cat, but you tried.

Shadowsight

The Contenders

Barkface

Read Tallstar's Revenge. I really like Barkface. He always supported his friend against his own brother. He didn't blame Tallpaw that much when Brackenwing died, he forgave him quicker than others, and always encouraged Tallstar to do what he thought was right. He was also a loyal WindClan medicine cat until the day he died.

I think he was the best friend of Tallstar. He wasn't very kind, but he was skilled and determined. He always helped others if he could, and that is what counts.
I like Barkface, and I think he was a very good medicine cat.
Brambleberry

Brambleberry could have totally called Crookedkit a lost cause. She could have given up or could have been like Crookedkit's mother, but she kept going until she found a solution. I think she is such an amazing medicine cat.

She's a wonderful medicine cat! She took care of her clan with such kindness, and she took care of Crookedstar. She was like a mentor to him! She struggled to believe that he was a Dark Forest cat, and she never gave up on him. And when Crookedstar confessed he thought it was StarClan, I cried. Brambleberry was one of the biggest influences in his life and all around an amazing cat!
She was awesome to Yellowfang, cool with Featherwhisker, and helped Jayfeather in time of need. She totally deserves to be in this list! I'm sorry, because I should have explained better, but if you get anything from this, it should be: vote Brambleberry! (Not for #1, but at least in the top 10!)
Alderheart

He is really dedicated to his job. When he fell in love twice, he didn't mate with them and let them go. He also saved Twigkit (Branch), Violetkit (Shine), and Puddleshine, and is always willing to help other cats.

I love him so much! He is my favorite medicine cat for sure! I mean his nervousness is so cute!
He stepped in for so many different medicine cats, showing how great a medicine cat he is and how great his heart is. I don't blame him for Sandstorm's death, not in the slightest.
I hate how people do. It isn't fair. So many cats make mistakes in that book, so back off poor Alderheart.
Anyway, he also stayed true by not going with Velvet. Where so many other medicine cats failed, he didn't. So, go Alderheart!
Flametail

This playful young tom was a great addition to ShadowClan's medicine supply, full of energy and strong. He had a vast knowledge of herbs and plants.
He was ShadowClan's medicine cat for a short time, as he died playing on the frozen lake, falling through and drowning under the ice. Jayfeather attempted to save him and almost drowned himself, but Rock pushed him away and made him leave Flametail to die.

If only Flametail had lived a little longer. Then think, Jayfeather would trust some cat for real. Not a stick.
Flametail should not have died. He was so young.
Sagewhisker

If Sagewhisker is anything like Yellowfang, then he has to be the best at doing, ya know, med cat stuff.
Vote for Sagewhisker!!!

Full of love and glory, Sagewhisker deserves a higher rating. She helped Yellowfang so much!

Sagewhisker was such a kind medicine cat and was a great mentor to Yellowfang!
Mudfur

Nothing on Mudfur either? I honestly feel he's one of the best RiverClan med cats. He became a med cat to stop the violence he made when he was a warrior, and after losing his mate.

I like how he was a caring father (I think, it's been a while since I read Leopardstar's Honor), and I loved how he became a medicine cat. By the way, where is Cloud Spots?

I love how he started off as a warrior and retired to medicine cat. He was so sad when (I think it was Brightsky) died. He was also an amazing father to Leopardstar.
Featherwhisker

Featherwhisker was great. He always had a liking for Bluestar and Snowfur even though they weren't his kin. He always tried to help and was kind and modest.
He did his best to take care of Goosefeather when he went crazy. Go Featherwhisker!

I wish Featherwhisker weren't so underrated. I have loved this character from the moment I met him in Bluestar's Prophecy. How could you not love this cat?

Ok, I'm sorry, but this guy is very underrated. Featherwhisker was actually very cool and skilled. He should be considered as one of the best ThunderClan medicine cats in history!
Puddleshine

Bro, he didn't even want to be a medicine cat. Rowanstar just picked up some random kit and set him in front of Leafpool, like, "Okay Leafpool, teach him and be gone by morning." He wanted to be a warrior, just like other cats such as Alderheart, Jayfeather, Cinderpelt (okay, basically all ThunderClan medicine cats except Leafpool).
He tried, but he was so insecure when it came to older medicine cats like Mothwing. That girl came in like she owned the place.

Puddleshine was filler - not for the story, but a filler for ShadowClan. Leafpool was not appreciated for teaching him. He is a great cat and mentor, though.
Kestrelflight
Goosefeather

He was driven mad by his curse to see the future. He was a great character. And you guys CANNOT say he was bad. You would go insane as well. Go read Goosefeather's Curse if you think I'm wrong.

Haunted by the past, he was the only one that could see the ghosts that lived among the clans, visions of everything that would happen in the future, as well as every prophecy. Sometimes it was a gift, and other times a curse. He carried this burden until death, and never told a soul, just to protect them.
Everyone thought he was crazy, and in the end, he did become a little insane, but who can blame him? He also had a vast knowledge of herbs, and was described to be "goofy and different from all the other cats" by Bluekit. He was smart, loyal, wise, kind, and funny! What's not to love?
Moth Flight

Moth Flight?! How did you get 20th?! Moth Flight is such a resilient, brave, imaginative, colorful character. (She is personally my favorite character.) She had the boldness to stand up to her mother and to follow the green moth that everyone thought was a silly daydream.
I feel that I am a lot like Moth Flight, in the sense that she is constantly dreaming of a better way and how she is often underestimated and not given enough credit. Even in real life, Moth Flight is still not given enough credit and still underestimated.
-Birdcreek's Opinion

Moth Flight was WindClan's first medicine cat. Her mother never thought she could amount to anything, but she proved her wrong.
She discovered the Moonstone, that leaders could get nine lives (which saved her mother's life), and why medicine cats couldn't have mates or kits. Her mate was Micah, the medicine cat of SkyClan, who died after falling from a tree. I personally love Moth Flight.
Pebble Heart

Pebble Heart is a grey tabby tom. He was ShadowClan's first medicine cat and he was very kind. Being one of Turtle Tail's kits, he was raised by Grey Wing (my favorite) along with his brother, Owl Eyes, and his sister, Sparrow Fur. This happened after Grey Wing realized his love for Turtle Tail, and she had run away from their real father.
Their real father was a cruel kittypet named Tom. Tom had once stolen him and his littermates, and Turtle Tail had gone after them, getting hit by a monster in the process. Grey Wing went after the kits and Turtle Tail, only to find that she had died. Heartbroken, he kept on the trail of the kits and took them back to the hollow.
Cloud Spots trained Pebble Heart to be a medicine cat.
Every cat decided to move away from the hollow. Some cats went to the river to live with River Ripple, some went to live in the forest with Clear Sky, and some went to live with Tall Shadow in the pine forest. Pebble Heart and Grey Wing went to the pine forest, and Owl Eyes and Sparrow Fur went to Clear Sky. With Pebble Heart's knowledge of herbs, he became ShadowClan's first medicine cat.
Hawkheart

Hawkheart is a stone-gray tom with flecks of darker brown fur, yellow eyes, and graying whiskers. He was a WindClan medicine cat who served under Heatherstar's leadership during the forest territories era. Before becoming a medicine cat, Hawkheart was originally a warrior.... read more

I don't like him, but I understand his actions. If I were just minding my own business sorting herbs, I would probably attack a random enemy warrior if she came out of nowhere and started destroying my herbs!

My god, if he killed a background character like Patchpelt, would you care? I'm betting you would have either overlooked it or forgotten. Hawkheart has every right to defend his medicine. Yes, Moonflower shouldn't have died like that, but why flame Hawkheart for it? He was a loyal medicine cat that was defending himself. Get it through your heads.
Graywing
Cloudberry

Cloudberry was a good ThunderClan medicine cat. She was sweet, and you can read about her in Goosefeather's Curse.

She was the best medicine cat ever. She made Goosefeather stay away because she didn't want him to get hurt when she was healing Doestar, which killed her.
