The Top Ten

All Clan leaders forgot Mapleshade instantly

Now that I realize it, they did forget her quite quickly.
Also, there never really were any books after that, so we don't know that for sure. I love Mapleshade so much. Her life was so unfair!
- Spiritstar of LightningClan

I mean, it WAS her idea to get her kits across the flooded river when she could've waited another day...
I'm kind of in-between. I still agree Frecklewish was horrible, though.

Seriously, they knew it was Mapleshade who killed Appledusk because multiple others saw it happen.
Also, how could they not scent her?
All Clan cats forgot mating restrictions

These dumb cats are like freaking idiots. Leafpool (an angel with her father, the BEST warrior cat and leader) gets with Crowfeather while being a med cat and having kits. Like these people!

Um. I hate half-clan relationships. OK. Sure. I get it. You're in love. So what? Would you rather betray your clan and kin and have babies with someone?

StarClan: You must follow the code.
Clans: Two days later... Hmm... Hey, I should check Find My Match to find a mate in another clan!
StarClan: No screen time for a moon.
Blackstar turned to the side of good

He stole Frostfur's kits, killed Stonefur, assisted Brokenstar in his bloodthirsty reign, and then suddenly teamed up with Firestar and the others and fought for justice against BloodClan. A change of heart like that is not possible, but he's still in my top 3 worst leaders.

I still hate him. He killed Rosetail, and I will never forgive him for that. And, oh, did I forget to mention that Rosetail was an elder? And he tried to steal kits. And he murdered Stonefur. Blackstar will always have an evil heart.
Nightpelt became a Clan leader

Like why? He was a freaking elder. I mean, what about Blackfoot? Why didn't he become leader? He was a freaking elder with asthma. He was not fit to be leader. - WolfStorm of ThunderClan

It just doesn't make sense. You have plenty of warriors, and you make an elder a leader? No wonder Starclan didn't accept him.

Nightpelt was Brokentail's mentor. He was also unfit to be leader due to his asthma.
Yellowfang was punished by StarClan

Let me say one thing: StarClan gave Yellowfang powers so she would become a medicine cat. Brokenstar was born to punish ShadowClan for... something.
Now, Brokenstar could be a much better cat if StarClan didn't go in and say, "I'm just going to make it so Yellowfang breaks the warrior code when she has a kit that has to be born no matter what! Yeah, then we can get mad at her for it!"

How come SHE gets punished and Leafpool doesn't, although she went with someone who wasn't in her clan? That's unfair. But yet again, it's Firestar's lover Spottedleaf who lets her.
The Clans experienced impossible genetic traits

The Erins have flat-out denied a polite request by multiple people to learn genetics, and it's just gotten so bad, it's annoying. While I'm not saying they need to go and read a big, long textbook explaining lilac and calico and tortoiseshell and all that jazz, all I want to know is: ICECLOUD. ICECLOUD, MAN.
How the heck does a dark brown tom with amber eyes and a gray-flecked she-cat with green eyes equal a white she-cat with blue eyes? How? I understand why you do some things, Erin Hunter team. I understand Spiderleg's coloring and why Ivypool managed to look like...Ivypool, but now you're just mocking us.

Is Brambleclaw and the rest of ThunderClan just dumb for not noticing that "her kits" don't look like either of them?
Like, there isn't a fleck of tabby, brown, red, or white on them. Everyone is just as blind as Jayfeather is, and more blind.
A cat was named Egg

Why the heck would a cat be named Egg? I mean, there are thousands of names! Yet, you choose the name Egg. Seriously, it's a cat named Egg. They don't even know what an egg is.
Plus, it's a really weird name! If they're white, you could name them things like WhitePelt, SnowStorm, IceTalon, FrozenWing, SwiftHeart, RabbitPelt, OwlFeather, FrozenBerry, etc. But gosh, naming a cat Egg is like naming a fish StrongWings.

That is a weird name. Also, I thought only kittypets had one-word names, or are the wild cats starting that? Also, their parents must not have liked them very much because that is the single worst name I have ever heard.
-Snowpaw the ThunderClan apprentice
Hollyleaf killed Ashfur

Ashfur deserved to die. He shouldn't have been let into StarClan.
AND he tried to KILL FOUR of his CLANMATES. One of them is my favorite character (Lionblaze). If he actually attacked, he would be a paper going into a paper shredder because Lionblaze was there.
Now kick him out of StarClan before I get my hands on him!

Erm... Just saying... She broke character.
Ashfur got angry with Squirrelflight after she rejected his advances

I hate Ashfur, and nothing will change my mind! Even if you'll give me a million dollars, no! Blame him for everything bad that happened! He captured Squirrelflight, mauled Shadowsight, and killed Willowshine. Why does he have to be so mean?
When Squirrelflight was going to go back to the lake, he wanted her to suffer. He loves too much. He's such a stalker! Why can't he accept that Squirrelflight likes Brambleclaw better? The more he makes her suffer, the more she doesn't like him. - Dovefeather of ThunderClan

This is why I love Thrushpelt! He's just an amazing and forgiving character!
On the other paw, Ashfur is awful! I love Squirrelflight! She wanted to be friends, and he ruined it!
Cats faded from StarClan without losing their nine lives

It's so deep and just terrible. Just imagine that you died and went to StarClan, only to find out you can fade when cats forget about you and be gone forever.

What is next? You can't die a thousand times. What comes after StarClan? StarClan the Second? StarClan the Third?

When I read horrible things like that, I just try to imagine they don't exist and think of the book without them.

The Newcomers

?
Dovewing passed her warrior assessment without any warnings

Cheater, cheater, cheater! She must have cheated. The leader! She's such a cheater.
?
The tunnels were discovered by the Clans

Where did these start randomly appearing?

The Contenders

Graystripe's parents were siblings

I am sure both the mom and dad knew this, but they still loved each other. They couldn't tell that their love was because they loved each other as siblings, but they really didn't know that.

Wait, so that means Graystripe's family is shorter than most because he doesn't have families from both of his parents' sides since they're siblings.

This is considered inbreeding and WRONG! Many cats are distantly related mates. But Willow x whoever her brother was, and Fern x Dust are too close!
Firestar avoided injury for five series but died falling from a tree

I mean, it would be kind of weird if Firestar got beaten by another cat, wouldn't it? Also, I'm pretty sure the tree killed Longtail, but it just set on fire. Anyway, Firestar died from wounds and smoke combined. It's kind of ironic that 'the fire that saved the Clans' was killed by smoke.

When he died, I hoped that he would pop up and say, HEY! I had one life left! Then Brambleclaw drops dead like Sorreltail did, and Graystripe is deputy and leader soon.

There's a joke that goes (I know that you guys probably know already), "Firestar couldn't be beaten for FIVE SERIES... and then gets killed by a TREE."
Firestar appeared in every battle

This is strange. No one can be everywhere unless you have like a million clones of yourself everywhere. And Firestar does not have anything like that, or else Tigerstar would have died in his sleep already.
-Snowpaw the ThunderClan apprentice

Haters: -hides behind SkyClan territory- Phew! Finally! No Firestar here!
Firestar: -appears next to them- Hi, guys, I'm here!
Haters: NO!

He doesn't go away. He is the Yellowfang of both the living and afterlife. You can't get rid of him, and you know it.
The Warrior Code was broken many times

If you're going to have a code and then say, "Everyone, don't break the code!" what do you think they'll do? Break the code! Seriously, why create something that isn't supposed to be broken when everyone ends up breaking it? At this point, it's as if the Warrior Code doesn't exist.
- Feathermist, Med. of RiverClan

It's like you try to preserve the warrior code so many times and then ruin it by mating with a cat from another clan. Why make the warrior code and then break it so many times?

Agree! Why was that code made if everyone forgets it?
Literally EVERY code is broken at least once!
Puddleshine was cured by deathberry skins

Exactly! I mean, no one in their right mind would be like, "Hey, you're sick? I'll give you the skins of the deadliest poison in the universe and you'll get better!" And he gets better.

Ok, Puddleshine, we're gonna give you the most dangerous thing since Tigerstar, and that is as useful as poisonous potatoes in Minecraft's skin to cure you. That good?

It is kinda weird that a deathberry can cure AND kill. But I am relieved that they were able to cure Pebble.
Dovewing's eye color changed

Dovewing, listen to me. How do you keep changing your eye color? Does it go like this: Umm...I want green eyes. No, I want blue eyes. Never mind, I want green eyes. Seriously, does Erin Hunter have to change her eye color? She has one, so keep it that way and don't change it.
-Dovefeather of ThunderClan

I'm pretty sure this was a mistake. On the cover of The Fourth Apprentice, her eyes are pale gold, but in the alliances, it says her eyes are green, and then they're mentioned multiple times as blue.
- Feathermist, Med. of RiverClan
Yellowfang allowed Ashfur into StarClan

Ashfur is the attempted murderer of three cats, just like Mapleshade (the difference is she succeeded)! I am sometimes known as the "#1 Mapleshade Defender," and I love her! She "loved too much," as people say.
But why Ashfur? He didn't suffer hallucinations of his dead kits or get exiled. He chose his own path, and I hate him!

They send Darkstripe to the Dark Forest when he almost killed a clanmate but didn't. And then it's the same with Ashfur. He almost killed Hollyleaf but was sent to Starclan! Yellowfang was like, "Oh, poor Ashfur, let's bring him to Starclan and not care about Darkstripe."
Leopardfoot and Pinestar were the parents of Tigerstar

Pinestar was a leader when Leopardfoot was born (Bluestar's Prophecy), and they gave birth to two she-kits called Nightkit and another one whose name I forgot, and the dark tabby Tigerstar. The two she-kits died after a moon, so yeah!

Yeah, this should be under a weirdest couples list, too. How did Pinestar not find a mate before Leopardfoot? He was already almost eight lives in when she was born!
A kit was named Maggottail

His name at first was Dashpaw for his speed, but in a dare to race a fox, he got the tip of his tail nipped off, and it got infected with maggots. When he became a warrior, he asked his leader to be named Maggottail.
Dappletail died after eating a poisoned rabbit
Brambleclaw inadvertently killed Hawkfrost twice
Rosetail was forgotten by the Clans

She was a noble warrior, but when she died during a fight with ShadowClan, Bluestar didn't even sit vigil for her. Why had her existence faded?
Tigerstar became leader of ShadowClan

I don't get this. Didn't any of the Clans wonder why Tigerclaw was exiled from ThunderClan? ThunderClan wouldn't just throw him out for no reason. He was a great warrior. I know ShadowClan was desperate, but they should have seen that.
Runningnose did, but he said Firestar didn't need to tell him. He knew something was up, but, of course, didn't do anything. - Moonblossom of StormClan

Did nobody wonder why he got kicked out of ThunderClan?

Not only did ShadowClan let this clearly exiled ThunderClan warrior, who was traveling with Brokenstar's crew, lead their clan, but STARCLAN GAVE HIM NINE LIVES???
WHY IN THE NAME OF STARCLAN WOULD THEY GIVE THAT CAT NINE LIVES?
-Songshadow
Firestar was related to Scourge

I know he's related to Scourge. I just don't understand WHY!
Fireheart brought a fish to Cinderpelt
