History Headscratchers / WarriorCats

* What really bothers me is how the heroes of TPoT treated Leafpool after they found out she was really their mother. Teenage angsting aside, they really couldn't find it in their heart to forgive her? I didn't like Leafpool that much until TPoT Book 6, where how her own kits treated her made her TheWoobie in my eyes. Because...damn! That poor cat suffered enough as it is, now her own kits gotta give her a hard time over her decision? What the hell, Lionblaze, Hollyleaf, and Jayfeather?! Especially considering Jayfeather is my favorite, I can't believe he'd be like this, too.

* Dustpelt. He hated Firestar's guts up until ''Rising Storm'', and then, from ''A Dangerous Path'' onwards, he's on relatively normal terms with him? Did he randomly decide to forgive Firestar or something? It doesn't make sense.

* Okay, sorry if this pisses you off but...I don't get why Crowfeather and Leafpool were together. The only reason I can see is for them to make babies that will be the next protagonists (That could have easily been Squirrelflight and Brambleclaw's actual kits instead). What {{Word of God}} says is that Crow/Feather was just high school love, and that Crow/Leaf was the real deal, didn't make much sense to me either. I could esily see Crowfeather and Leafpool's relationship like it would be in human culture. Popular girl sees angsty boy in corner, both fall in love for no reason. They can't be together for reasons already complained about on this page, so they run away. They have G-Rated Sex and girl gets pregnant. Girl gives up kids when they're born, and they go to pretending the other didn't exist. Sounds more like teen romance gone horribly wrong to me.

* In The Darkest Hour, Leopardstar tells Firestar that she sent a patrol beyond Highstones to look for a new place to live (if BloodClan takes over). What happened to those cats? We never find out. (Although they must not have found the lake.)

*** According to WordOfGod, greencough is most similar to cat flu. So we still have an annoying lack of actual cat diseases here. (Though I do roleplay a BloodClanner with feline hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Long story.)

** Someone hasn't been paying attention to all those greencough epidemics...

* How about Diseases? Where is all the kitty leukemia, F.I.V, and worms?

*** Agreed. Remember the "you don't have to tell who the father is" rule? That little allowance probably single-handedly saved the necks of dozens of queens ''and'' kept the clans from becoming too inbred.

** The first one is later corrected - in ''The Sight'', honey is described as tasteless. The second, on the other hand, is probably just for convenience. Names would be much less varied if they were missing the ability to see some colors.

* The family tree's posted on the web have been said by the authors to be completly wrong.

* Monogamy?!?!?!!

* Biggest WallBanger for this Troper: real cats have a gene that keeps them from tasting sweetness. But Clan cats think berries and honeycomb are "treats" (and Crowfeather can pick up on the scent of wildflowers XD). And apparently, the Clan cats can also see in vivd, glorious HD color, instead of confusing red/green/orange like cats usually do (or not caring about color at all, like cats usually do)...Although it would have been hilarious if Firestar was actually some other color and cats just assumed he was red because Bluestar said he was.

* How did Bluestar know so much about vets? I know they phrase it like they only know a little, but the phrase [[GroinAttack "Still a tom"]] makes it seem like she knows everything about it. Where would she get this knowledge? Pinestar? If he knew that then why did he risk it happening to him? It also seems like the entire clan has heard of the Cutter by Omen Of The Stars.

** Cats who don't pay attention to Starclan's rules get struck by lightning or crushed by trees. Also, the cats who follow Starclan tend to win more battles against those who don't.

** The reason there was no mention of [=SkyClan=] during the Clans' formation is because that short story was written before ''Firestar's Quest''. Skystar and the rest of [=SkyClan=] have been {{RetCon}}ned into that scene by WordOfGod.

* Why do the cats care so much about Starclan and put so much stock by their words? Starclan lies consistently, but insists that the rules have to be upheld because they say so. There must be four clans, but not really, because there were 5, and they just decided not to tell you. When you're in trouble and you ask for their advice, they either tell you that they're powerless or give you extremely baffling and unhelpful prophecy that inevitably makes reference to blood and tragedy. You can't confront them with the idea that Clan law is directly responsible for a large amount of angst and psychotic unhappiness, and its forbidden to suggest a more peaceful route outside clan law, because that would just unspeakable.

* How does SkyClan fit into the Clans' history? The origin of the clans only mentions the original four clans and their first leaders, no mention of a Skystar or Skyclan. However in Code of the Clans it shows that Skyclan existed from fairly early on and helped create the warrior code. Also, how could modern Clan cats be familiar with the stories of how the Code came to be but not know of Skyclan since they're mentioned fairly often.

* Am I the only one bothered that Graystripe is a product of outright BrotherSisterIncest? (His parents are Willowpelt and Patchpelt. Adderfang and Swiftbreeze are their parents, though they had Willowpelt and Patchpelt in two different litters.) Even if the series has very questionable moments, it's still found in the "for kids" sections...SoYeah

*The family tree's posted on the web have been said by the authors to be completly wrong.

* Even though it has many incidents of "WTF, these are for KIDS?!?!" Am I the only one bothered that Graystripe's parents are brother and sister? (His parents are Patchpelt and Willowpelt. Their parents are Adderfang and Swiftbreeze)
