Top 10 Things About Warrior Cats You Probably Didn't Know

BloodClan is not a Clan

Yep. They named themselves Bloodclan when Scourge left his home as a kit. In Bluestar's Prophecy (a fact you may not know), when Bluefur goes with Tigerpaw and Thistleclaw to Tallpines, Thistleclaw urges Tigerpaw to fight a kit who was Scourge. Anyway, when Scourge left, he made a rogue group. When Tigerstar wants him to take over the forest with him, he instantly agrees. Why are most of these facts obvious?

Warriors live in Clans and Tribes

Cinderpelt loved Fireheart, but he did not notice

He's so stupid sometimes! Poor Cinderpelt. She deserves to have Fireheart (star) as her mate. I hate that Sandstorm and medicine cats can't have mates. Though the Hunters say they might change that rule in The Broken Code.

This is the saddest fact ever! So true though! I wonder if she loved him when she was a kit, when she was his apprentice, or after she became a medicine cat.

Yep, poor Cinderpelt. Firestar (heart) was her mentor, but sadly he didn't care really. After Spottedleaf died, he loved Sandstorm and her like any type of liar/overrated character would.

Tigerclaw was going to be called Hammerclaw

Tigerclaw was originally going to be Hammerclaw, and Bluestar was originally going to be Moonstar. The warrior name is Moonstone.

Yeah, cats don't know what a hammer is. I don't know how they know what a tiger is since they've never seen one (legends, I guess), but okay. Tigerclaw sounds cooler anyway.

I guess cats don't know what a hammer is. The Erins changed it at the last second to make it Tigerclaw, which sounds much better. Where are these people getting these facts exactly? I'd like a source!

Clan leaders have nine lives, not ten

Anyone that read Firestar's Quest knows that before giving a cat nine lives, StarClan takes away the one that was there before, leaving the cat with only the lives StarClan gives them.
The only exception is Windstar, who died at the Moonstone while receiving her nine lives. She still had nine by the end of the ceremony.

Look, everyone is saying they only have nine, but think about it (Just an example here): Fireheart got his lives from nine different cats. Lionheart, Redtail, Silverstream, Runningwind, Brindleface, Swiftpaw, Yellowfang, Spottedleaf, and Bluestar. He already had one life and received nine. Do the math, people! 9 + 1 = 10. Therefore, cat leaders have 10 lives.

Bluestar and Whitestorm are related

Of course! If you have read Bluestar's Prophecy, then you'll know, but if not, this is why:
Snowfur is Bluestar's sister. Snowfur mates with Thistleclaw, and their only kit is Whitekit (Whitestorm). That makes Bluestar Whitestorm's aunt.
It's kinda cute that he cares for her at the end of her life.

True. Bluestar's sister was Snowfur, who is the mother of Whitestorm. That makes Bluestar Whitestorm's aunt.

Yes. Bluefur's sister, Snowfur, had Whitestorm. So Whitestorm is Bluestar's nephew.

Brightpaw loved Swiftpaw, which was why she went to fight the dogs with him

I saw this on the same website. So basically, if Brightpaw didn't like Swiftpaw, she would have never fought the dogs. She would have never had the eye injury.
Cloudtail made her feel better about herself, but still, if she never loved him, Cloudtail wouldn't have done this, and Bluestar wouldn't have called her Lostface. But if Swiftpaw hadn't been killed by the dogs, Brightpaw might've gone on to be his mate instead of Cloudtail. Then they would have had the same kits. That's probably why they killed him, if this is even true.

MM-HM!
This is why I ship Brightheart x Swiftpaw more than Cloudtail and Brightheart. And to me, it always seemed a bit stupid. They should've remained friends, and Swiftpaw should've survived and become Swiftleap.
Am I the only one who thinks Swiftpaw could've been an amazing leader?

A RiverClan queen fusses over pregnant Silverstream, who calls her Greenflower, yet Greenflower is never listed in allegiances or mentioned elsewhere

Didn't know that. I know Greenflower is that brown-striped she-cat with a little white splash on her chest... or neck.
On the Wikia, it says the only book she was in was Forest of Secrets. It also says Kate Cary describes her as "very sweet." But I didn't know she wasn't listed in the allegiances of RiverClan.

A Starless Clan will have the first RiverClan POV: Frostpaw

Fireheart was named after Lionheart

No. He's named after Oakheart and Lionheart. Lionheart for wisdom and Oakheart for courage and bravery.

Yes and no. He was named after the wisdom of Lionheart and the bravery of Bluestar's mate, Oakheart.

Ivypool was named after Vicky's friend's daughter, Ivy Poole

Cool! I didn't know humans could have such warrior cat- like names! What's next, Dovewing being named after Dove Wingelle?

Tigerstar hates Firestar because Firestar reminds him of Pinestar

I mean, if Tigerstar hated Firestar, it could be because of Pinestar. Pinestar left Tigerkit, and when Firestar came along, being a kittypet and ambitious and courageous, it reminded Tigerclaw of Pinestar, which made Tigerclaw hate him. Mic drop.

I think he might have assumed that Firestar was somehow related when he first saw him.
I mean, both cats have similarly colored pelts. Pinestar had red, Firestar had ginger. Pinestar was basically just a darker version. Along with the fact that both were kittypets, it could've caused him to be extra angry at him.
Though he soon let go of that idea, he couldn't keep it off his mind.

The Three have SkyClan, ThunderClan, kittypet, and WindClan blood

Actually, they are related to every clan. Firestar is related to Thunderstar, and Thunderstar is related to Gray Wing, who is related to Clear Sky. Both are related to the Tribes. Gray Wing was in WindClan and ShadowClan. Clear Sky was in SkyClan, and Thunderstar was in ThunderClan. So actually, they aren't related to RiverClan, but they are related to:
ThunderClan
WindClan
ShadowClan
The Tribe
SkyClan

Because Cloudstar had two kits left behind, a dark brown tabby tom and a tortoiseshell she-cat, Spottedleaf and Tigerclaw are related to SkyClan. Brambleclaw, son of Tigerclaw, is Squirrelflight's mate, which makes Leafpool related too! Since she is related to the Three, that connects them through Firestar, Crowfeather, and the others. Boom!

When Scourge killed Tigerstar, he struck nine major organs, causing him to lose more than one life

Scourge hit the brain, heart, stomach, liver, kidneys, lungs, etc.

Hollyleaf feared thunderstorms because of Ashfur's confrontation

Can you blame her? If I were trapped in a fire in the middle of a thunderstorm and was almost murdered at the same time, I probably would be scared of thunderstorms too!

Originally, Moonflower was going to be Duskflower

Why not? Erins, you should have gone with this. Moon is a forbidden prefix.

Onestar had a child

Whoever made this, no duh. He had three: Heathertail, Galekit, and Darktail. So no duh he had a child. What's next, my boyfriend randomly says he has a child?
Mossfire of ThunderClan
P.S. Me and my boyfriend are in middle school, so no way he has a child. I was just having fun.

He had two! Heathertail and Darktail. A lot of these facts are inaccurate.

Onestar, leader of WindClan, had two children, one with each she-cat.
With Whitetail, he had Heathertail. With Smoke, the kittypet, he had Darktail, the cat who appears in Hawkwing's Journey and took over the gorge. Darktail and his father drowned each other, which was fatal for both.
Onestar and Smoke didn't just have Darktail. They also had kits that weren't mentioned by name. He only had one kit with Whitetail.

Graystripe and Darkstripe are half-brothers

I think Darkstripe is the better of the two.

Some fans think Ashfur is Dovewing and Ivypool's actual father

I've heard this too, but I don't really know if it's possible.
Well, for one, Cloudtail (white tom with blue eyes) and Brightheart (white she-cat with ginger patches and blue eyes) were mates. Then they had Whitewing, and their other kits. Whitewing mated with Birchfall.
Whitewing is a white she-cat with green eyes. Birchfall is a light brown tabby tom with amber eyes. Their kits are Dovewing, a smoky gray she-cat with blue eyes, and Ivypool, a white she-cat with some dapples and dark blue eyes.
They also have some kittypet in them. But anyway, if Birchfall was the father, then why didn't they inherit amber eyes? Green or amber eyes aren't in there either.
Also, Ashfur looks a lot more like both of them, especially Dovewing without the dapples. But this couldn't be true because on the Wikia it says Birchfall was the actual father. And that thing's like rarely wrong.
And sometimes humans can inherit eye color from grandparents. So it must be like this with cats too. I don't know. If it is, then Dovewing and Ivypool got their eye color from Cloudtail and Brightheart.
