Top 10 Best Warrior Cat Couples

Have you ever seen two cats so perfect for each other?

It's up to you to decide who are good together and who should go their separate ways!

Warning: Contains spoilers!

The Top Ten

Cloudtail & Brightheart

Cloudtail and Brightheart are the perfect couple. They do not really have the same personality, but that is what makes them such a cute couple.
Cloudtail helped Brightheart and always stayed with her when she was still Lostface. I think he did that because he thought if she died, he could never confess love to her or have kits with her.
Brightheart loves Cloudtail and appreciates him, even with his sassy attitude. She loves making jokes with Cloudtail, and Brightheart loves hunting with him. They are also still alive, which gives them so much credit. Their children are so cute, and Brightheart really just appreciates Cloudtail for who he is, even though she knows he has kittypet blood.
Cloudtail's sassy attitude and Brightheart's silliness just match. They are so cute together. Vote for them!
Graystripe & Silverstream

This is my favorite couple by far in the history of Warrior Cats. First of all, they always showed each other so much love, and it was always so easy to tell that they genuinely cared for and loved each other. They both broke the warrior code, and they never stayed apart, which adds the fact that they're risking their positions in their Clans (possibly even their lives) just to be together, with the ones they love.
Also, I feel they just match. Graystripe is handsome. Silverstream is beautiful and gorgeous. Moreover, their kits were beautiful, kind, and brave warriors, just like their parents. I love this couple so much. Definitely #1 in my book.
Firestar & Sandstorm

I've always shipped these two. Even when Sandstorm and Firestar first met as apprentices in Into the Wild, I told myself, "I've got a feeling that Sandpaw is going to fall in love with Firepaw and have kits with him!"
And I was correct, as they both had Squirrelflight/star and Leafpool. Fire x Sand forever!!
- Rosespirit from ThunderClan

I think that this is a great ship because Sandstorm deserves Firestar and Spottedleaf doesn't. Sandstorm helps the clan and Spottedleaf just sits there being like, "I want to be Firestar's mate! I deserve him!" the whole book. Sandstorm and Firestar are so cute together. I think they deserve each other, and they are the parents of my favorite character, Squirrelflight.
Sandstorm is also one of my favorite characters, as is Firestar. Therefore, they are the best ship in the entire world. They also make very good parents. Squirrelflight is a good hunter, like her mother, and Leafpool has courage, like her father.
Both of them helped the clan in a major way. For example, Squirrelflight traveled to the sun-down-place. Firestar and Sandstorm would do the same if their clan was in trouble. They also run from a dog, which Firestar did in his life. Sandstorm has done her fair share of border patrols. Firestar and Sandstorm are the best ship ever. - Shadow and Thunder Studios
Jayfeather & Half Moon

It's the way they met that is so sweet. Now, I'm a Jayfeather fan, so I'll vote for him every time, but this time I have a real reason.
Jayfeather is the reincarnation of Jay's Wing, who was in Half Moon's tribe. They are both medicine cats. When Jayfeather broke his stick, he felt deep regret and wanted to get back to Half Moon and regain the connection.

Jayfeather was never the cat to love. He was cold, rude, and stubborn to almost everybody he met, even his siblings and his parents. He'd even stand up to the Clan leader. But when Jayfeather traveled back in time to change the course of history, the course of his own life was changed too.
Jayfeather, the sarcastic, snarky medicine cat, had fallen in love. It's such an amazing couple, and everything Half Moon says to Jayfeather just turns him to mush. "I'll wait for you forever, Jay's Wing!" is a great line and shows how much Half Moon loves Jayfeather.
I hope that when Jayfeather dies, they find each other and are finally able to be happy together.
Bluestar & Oakheart

These two were cute. I loved Bluestar, and I felt so bad for her when I heard about her kits (Mistyfoot/star and Stonefur) not believing her when Fireheart (who was deputy when he told them) told them that Bluestar was their mother.
I especially felt really bad for Bluestar because she lived a really difficult life. Bluestar lost her mother as a kit, her sister as a warrior, had to raise Snowfur's (her sister's) son Whitestorm, became mates with Oakheart of RiverClan, had his kits, pretended Thrushpelt was the father, had to give her kits away to Oakheart, Mosskit died, and Mistyfoot and Stonefur didn't forgive her until she died.
Oakheart was a great mate for her, even when they had to meet in secret, and I bet it broke Bluestar's heart when he died.
Sorry for the rant.
- Rosespirit of ThunderClan
Leafpool & Crowfeather

Crowfeather and Leafpool, I already have my work cut out for me on this one. Leafpool is driven insane and then briefly runs away from the Clans. To be fair, Feathertail and Crowfeather were a better ship, but I guess I can just like them because they have Jayfeather!
Leafpool was not responsible when she ran off with Crowfeather or when she gave birth and didn't even care for them (and yes, I know, medicine cats can't have kits, but really)? Leafpool was selfish because she ran off with Crowfeather and kept running off with him in the middle of the night. She didn't really care for her Clanmates after the battle with the badgers.
She was also rude to Jayfeather in training just because she thought mothers were supposed to be mean to their kits. They can be strict with them, but not "mean". I think that Crowtail is a better ship. - Shadow and Thunder Studios
Brambleclaw & Squirrelflight

Bramblestar and Squirrelflight are one of my favorite ships. Bramblestar may not have always been the kindest to her, but they always made up, and that's what makes it so special. Some people argue that Squirrelflight x Ashfur would have been better, but I disagree. Ashfur was nice to Squirrelflight, but his biggest interest seemed to be in fighting with Brambleclaw instead of focusing his attention on Squirrelflight.
Also, Ashfur really overreacted when Squirrelflight chose Brambleclaw over him. He threatened to kill what he thought were her kits. Is that what you call love? Ashfur may have seemed good to Squirrelflight, but really, he was just a hazard to her. Not only did he try to kill Jayfeather, Hollyleaf, and Lionblaze, but he also killed and imprisoned many cats in the Dark Forest, along with possessing Bramblestar.
I kind of turned this into a rant about Ashfur, but his evil deeds are just more reasons Squirrelflight and Bramblestar should be together.
Hollyleaf & Fallen Leaves

Fallen Leaves took care of Hollyleaf when she got lost in the caves. They spent moons together, and Fallen Leaves was heart stricken when he saw Hollyleaf die. I really wish they could have been canon.

Honestly, I find it funny how the siblings - Jayfeather, Hollyleaf, and Lionblaze - have relationships with somewhat dead cats: Hollyleaf and Fallen Leaves, Lionblaze and the reincarnation of Cinderpelt (sort of a ghost thing), and then the legitimate canon ship of Jayfeather and Half-Moon.
Anyway, I like that ship because I really agree with it. Also, has anyone noticed that ships in the later arcs are some of the better ones, but they have been around for such a short time that they get almost no votes?
Brackenfur & Sorreltail

I truly LOVE this couple. Sorreltail is cute, smart, and kind, and Brackenfur is loyal, calm, and strong. It is one of my favorite couples.

I'm sorry, but almost nobody pays any attention to Brackenfur because he is more of a side character. However, I absolutely LOVE this ship!
There is a map about them and everything. Brackenfur has a pretty tough time. His sister is dealing with her leg and having to be a medicine cat instead of a warrior, and he just does not know what to do. Then he meets Sorrel, and his mood just lifts! It is amazing how much they love each other and their kits.
Lionblaze & Cinderheart

Seriously, everybody kind of hates Lionblaze and rants about Jayfeather (there's nothing wrong with him, but still), but I love LionxCinder!

Okay, I for one cannot stand Heatherpaw/tail or anything that she does/did because she was/is just an arrogant, fox-hearted, mouse-brained, stupid, dumb, idiotic, crazy, stupid, stealing, rotten little brat.
But Cinderheart is like the definition of amazing. It was so sad when she thought she and Lionblaze couldn't be mates because apparently he's too good for her (she's way better than him, no offense). But I love that they became mates and had kits in the end!
I'm only on The Apprentice's Quest, but I know they have kits (thanks a bunch, internet), and I love them so much! Their development was interesting, and we for once had a protagonist that didn't have a forbidden romance story (not including Brambleclaw, he doesn't even count as a protagonist, smh), so that was nice too.
Cinderblaze/Lionheart forever!

The Newcomers

?
Brokenstar & Bluestar

This is not true. I do not like this. Broken star and blue star do not belong together literally broken stars evil. Evil evil evil so evil EVIL they should've break up if they did this, but the star did not get together and this is really bad and it's rigged. He's telling people that think this is true but there's no way I do not like this.

Brokenstar and Bluestar are so sweet! My grandchildren were reading these cat books and soon I was intrigued by tales of talking cats and battles! I went to the library and checked out the first book and soon I was hooked! My sweet grandbabies really introduced me to the series and I can't thank them enough! They did not want me to comment on this website (they were a little embarrassed) but I could not contain my excitement! The books were very interesting, but soon all of the violence made the story dull. But then I found these two kitties and I thought "Wow! Aren't they sweet! At first I thought Brokenstar was a little evil, but then I saw he was just a nice kitty who needed some guidance, and Bluestar can do that for him! I think that these two should have a good proper cat wedding in a church. I also do not like the cats worshipping spirits, because that is evil. I have also heard rumors about reincarnation in later books, and I may have to stop reading after that because reincarnation is false doctrine. I would ask the authors to change these little things. But never change these kitties!
?
Hollyleaf & Ravenpaw

Nope, Ravenpaw is around the same age as Firestar, which would make Ravenpaw old enough to be her grandfather, and who marries with someone a whole TON lot older than them?

This is TERRIBLE, holly is so much younger than raven. They never even met each other. I also much prefer an actual holly ship which is Hollyleaf X Fallen Leaves.

Why is the even a thing? Raven probably never heard of Holly.

The Contenders

Dustpelt & Ferncloud

I saw in Dustpelt's family that Ferncloud is his mate but also his niece, since his sister Brindleface is Ferncloud's mother. I find this ship weird because they're directly related through Brindleface.
Yes, I know that they're cats, but it's still wrong to mate and have kits with your direct kin.
They may have not known they were related through Brindleface, but considering that Dustpelt saw Brindleface when Ferncloud was born (I think, from what I remember), I'm sure they knew, or Dustpelt knew but just didn't care.
But although they're directly related, I do like these two.
- Rosespirit from ThunderClan

This is a great couple. I'll start with Dustpelt. He is a brown tabby tom, and he had a crush on Sandpaw. I'm glad he found a different love because I like Sandstorm and Firestar together.
Dustpelt must have gone through much pain losing Ferncloud. Ferncloud is a beautiful gray tabby and has some speckles. She has many kits with Dustpelt, and they just look perfect together even if you haven't even heard about them.
Ferncloud has lots of kits and a true love, but her brother Ashfur went raging after Squirrelflight mated with Mr. Bramble and almost killed three cats. They are different, which is kinda funny.
Crowfeather & Feathertail

I loved Firestar and Graystripe's friendship, so I was SO excited when Feathertail and Stormfur were introduced into the books. I appreciated how Feathertail brought Crowfeather out of his shell and learned to look past his grumpiness to see his good side. I was heartbroken when Feathertail died because I was certain they would have kits together, and because she is awesome.
I admired how Crowfeather honored Feathertail by naming himself after her. I sort of wished he could just die soon so they could be mates in StarClan. And then, of course, he sees one more pretty cat he barely knows, saves her from dying, and then runs away with her and gets her mentor, who is also one of my favorite characters, killed.
Crowfeather and Feathertail will always be my favorite couple because she showed true loyalty and love to him when she died rescuing the tom she loved. And then, in The Light in the Mist, when they see all the StarClan characters, Crowfeather saw Feathertail, hung out for a little, and then went to hang out with Leafpool. I would be hurt too if I were waiting this whole time for the guy I died for and then was replaced.
Stormfur & Brook

Stormfur traveled a long way to find Brook. Half clan cats were never really accepted into the clans anyway. I think he made the right choice to be with Brook. But it was sad when Graystripe lost both of his kits.

Stormfur went on the quest to find Midnight. On the way back from the sun-drown-place, the six cats crossed over the mountains because the Twolegplace was too far and too hard. Then Stormfur meets Brook and they fall in love. Then he leaves for a long while, comes back, and stays with the tribe.
Then rogue cats attack the tribe, and Stoneteller becomes a jerk to Stormfur, saying that he lost the battle and sends Stormfur away. But Brook comes with him, and they join ThunderClan together. Later, Stoneteller welcomes them back if they help him defeat the rogues.
They win the battle, and Stormfur and Brook probably have some cute little kits chasing pebbles and moss balls around their paws. This is a good ship with a tragic plotline. - Shadow and Thunder Studios
Briarlight & Jayfeather

So, I am going to be honest. Jayfeather is one of my favorite characters, so I feel like if he gets a ship, he would be so much happier. I want that so much. I have selected every Jayfeather ship on here, even if that's a bit messed up.
Anyways, I never thought of this ship, but now that I see it, it makes total sense. He is super nice to her and brings her back from the brink of death! It would have been cool if she got a better death though. Maybe she could have been going through the woods for some reason and hears Jayfeather being attacked, so she jumps on the attacker (Breezepelt maybe?), and then is badly wounded, but they drive him off. Then they confess their feelings for each other, and she dies. Big scene.
Tallstar & Jake

Regardless of what anyone says, it was very clear these two were romantically involved. It is also listed on the Warrior Cats Wiki that their romance was never officially stated, but they were listed in the mates category, which was funny.
Jokes aside, these two were another good relationship and one of the rare good ones from the beginning of the series. It was nice seeing that Jake was the only cat able to get through to Tallstar when he was blinded with rage. Another cute detail is that Tallstar never took a mate, as Kate Cary said, "his heart always belonged to his Jake." Which is just cute in general.
These cats are both gay and have good chemistry, which are two of my favorite things in relationships. - Songshadow
Berrynose & Honeyfern

They were so cute together. Berrynose is one of my favorite characters. Honeyfern really brought out the best in him. We got to see his sweet side.
She would have been a really good mate for Berrynose, and Berrynose would have been a great mate for her. I wish that snake hadn't bitten her. It was so sad, especially because it happened shortly after they had a sweet moment together.

I love how Honeyfern made Berrynose a better cat. He's still not perfect, but he truly seemed to love Honeyfern.
I also really respect how Honeyfern wanted Berrynose to be happy rather than just being loyal to her memory.
Dovepaw & Tigerheart

Probably my second favorite ship, with Brambleclaw x Squirrelflight being my favorite. Tigerheart doesn't really listen to anyone, but he listens to Dovewing!

This forbidden ship is a classic. But it was really confusing when Dovewing kept switching between Bumblestripe and Tigerheart as her mate. But in my book, I think Dovewing made the right choice. Also, I made Dovewing and Tigerheart sing the song "Rewrite the Stars" from The Greatest Showman. It really fits them!

Let's face it, I just don't like ships. But I don't mind these guys as much as I don't like most of the rest. If you haven't read Tigerheart's Shadow, I strongly recommend it. That book is what made me not mind this ship, and how much I like Dovewing. I have a country song for this ship, Love You Too Late by Cole Swindell. You'll understand when you hear it. This song is also shared by Firestar, about when Graystripe left for RiverClan.
Skyfrost.
Leafstar & Billystorm

I just finished reading SkyClan's Destiny. Leaders can have kits, but they are very rare occasions. These cats are supposed to be "forbidden" because Billystorm was formerly a daylight-warrior, and in SkyClan's Destiny there was a lot of tension with the daylight-warriors. Her kits' names are Stormkit (Stormheart), Firekit (Firefern), and Harrykit (Harrybrook).
Leafstar and Billystorm have good character development, and it's so sad that all of the cats (except her son) that she loves die! I feel that she and Bluestar would get along well in StarClan. Both cats lost most of the cats they loved. Anyway, Leafstorm is a really good ship, and I respect them. - Shadow and Thunder Studios
Crookedstar & Willowbreeze

This was easily the best couple in any Warriors book. They clearly cared about each other so much, and she was one of the few who saw Crookedstar for who he was, and not his injury. Her death was so sad.
And his reaction exemplifies how much they cared for each other. I actually cried myself to sleep the night I finished this book. That death was so sad. Crookedstar really never had anyone he loved that much ever again. They were clearly meant for each other, but unfortunately, fate had other ideas.

Most of the ships are forbidden mates. This is one that isn't. This is one that makes you realize that cats can find someone they love in their own clan. They had a relationship that developed. I cried when his family died. Some of the other ships feature love at first sight, then, oh, now I hate you. This one isn't like that. It is a healthy relationship that grew and developed over time. They are perfect for each other.
Micah & Moth Flight

From the moment these two met, they directly bonded. Moth Flight is a nice cat, and Micah has something a lot of toms just lack. Guess what? A PERSONALITY! He saves Moth Flight by tricking the dog into running into the brambles. When he later boasts about it, it adds more to his charming side than an annoying side (that doesn't even exist!). I love the faith they show each other, because that is what encourages them to not just fall in love, but to stay in love. If you want to see a video of it, you can search for the top seven best Warriors couples of all time.
Moonlight of ThunderClan

They are the best for each other when Moth Flight shapes the future of the Clan by making medicine cat rules and finding the Moonpool. Best couple EVER. Micah was so wise and amazing, and Moth Flight really loved him, and he loved her back. It was so sad when he died. Awe, I just love this one. I love this one!
Ravenpaw & Barley

Aww, these two are cute! I love the fact that some of the cats in Warriors are part of the LGBTQ+ community. It's honestly adorable, because Jake, Firestar's dad, was part of it too, as he was bi and liked both she-cats and toms (especially Tallstar, one of the WindClan leaders).

I think it was so sad, and I almost cried when Ravenpaw died. I think they could be a solid ship because in the Ultimate Guide, it says Barley was the closest friend Ravenpaw would know.
If they got a little closer, it could've worked, but Ravenpaw's time came. This is a truly adorable and amazing ship. 9/10, amazing and so heartfelt. - Dawnwhisper of SkyClan.
Graystripe & Millie

Does anybody here kind of detest Millie? I mean, it wasn't Briarlight's fault, but she basically forgot about her other two kits once Briarlight became injured!
I think the Erins should have paid more attention to this dynamic. It would have been so fun to see how it would play out! But as soon as the main character stopped being Blossomfall's bestie, they stopped featuring that.

This is what would've happened in The Light in the Mist.
Graystripe: Millie! Briarlight!
Millie: Graystripe, now your first mate and first daughter are reunited.
Silverstream: Come on, Feathertail. We should leave his "first mate" alone.
Feathertail: Yeah, not like he would care.
Millie: Ugh, what's with those two? We are your first mate and daughter, right?
Briarlight: Feathertail! Silverstream! Come back.
Millie: Briarlight, what are you doing?
Briarlight: Silverstream and Feathertail are his first mate and daughter. I should know. Those two welcomed me in StarClan.
This is why I hate this ship. It's even listed that Millie is selfish.
- RoseHeart - RiverClan
Longtail & Mousefur

Longtail and Mousefur never really had an official "thing," but I feel like they did love each other. They were always sweet to each other, and Mousefur always defended Longtail. After Longtail got blinded by the rabbit, Mousefur always helped him around the camp, and she helped him come out of his depression from being blind.
Although it was never official, I feel like there was some sort of love between these two cats.

I think they are a great ship. I mean, they did become great friends.
I might not consider this a ship, but I do and I also don't because of the age gap. Honestly, who cares? And when Longtail died, she was brave enough to admit it was her fault (and it was).
When they went to StarClan, I THINK (don't correct me, please) they were happy to see each other once more.
Ivypool & Hawkfrost

I actually like this because of the complication of their relationship. Ivypool clearly looked up to Hawkfrost before she knew he was evil, and later on, I think Hawkfrost grew fond of her, and his fondness for Ivypool blinded him to her deception. I think Hawkfrost might have fallen for her without realizing it.
When she betrayed him, he covered his hurt the only way he knew - rage and killing. Ivypool was also hurt somewhere deep inside that the cat she had looked up to when she was younger killed one of her best friends, but she thinks she hates him. So I think it would be interesting if they met again, with Hawkfrost asking her why, WHY she betrayed him.
I think here Ivypool might feel a sliver of guilt. And I think it would be amazing if StarClan gave him a second chance, sent him back to the clans, and Hawkfrost joined ThunderClan to be with Ivypool.
Storm & Gray Wing

I feel sorry for Grey Wing. He loved Bright Stream, but she loved Clear Sky. He loved Storm, but she loved Clear Sky. It's obvious that he loved Storm, and I wish she could have loved him back.
They had so much to teach each other. Clear Sky also stole Star Flower from his son, which is sad, but Thunder and Violet Dawn still make a cute couple. Things really could have been different for both.

I really wish they could've been mates! I mean, I actually stopped reading for a while when Clear Sky became her mate, because it was so sad for Gray Wing!!!
I hate Clear Sky, and I hope Gray Wing and Storm are together in StarClan!
