  • Hey Kate do you by any chance know what Dandelionkit and Juniperkit look like? If not, what are your head cannon designs for them? 😄

    • I have no idea but I like to imagine them as Dendelionkit being a golden tabby, and Juniperkit being a Tigerstar clone.

  • I’m so excited for September 5th! Since I have no school, I can pre-order TaS the day before, then wake up early on the 5th and stay in bed until I finish it! 😛

  • Kate, are you and everyone else going to make Bramblestar’s leadership shorter than Firestar’s? Firestar’s lasted for nineteen books. (I got really bored with after awhile and so did a lot of other people). I was thinking maybe Bramblestar’s leadership could end at the end of the (if there is one) seventh series? Or is that a bad idea? I’m bad a writing!

    • I like the continuity of a long-term leader. It allows other storylines to flourish in the foreground if the background remains stable….

      • But that6 just seems boring. Wouldn’t it be interesting if Bramblestar died suddenly due to his age. I mean, look at Tallstar! He died of old age at 10, at least according to the wiki. Bramblestar is 9 years. He should be feeling his age. And don’t get started on cats like Mistystar, who is 12 years old, or Purdy who is around the same age if not older! Meanwhile, Brightheart, Brackenfur, Thornclaw and Graystripe are all 10 years according to the wiki and Cloudtail is not far behind. Honestly, as much as I love the older cast, it’s better to kill them off rather than 95% of all the younger warriors who weren’t related to Firestar. Seriously, between Dovewing’s Silence and TAQ, did any one of Firestar’s kin beside Dandelionkit and Juniperkit die? Of course, that isn’t Kate’s fault but Vicky’s. Great, I’m rambling again, sorry about that.

  • This is honestly one of my favorite regular warriors books. I feel like Sparkpaw was a bit too prodigious (makes me long for the days when Bluepaw was talented for catching a squirrel on her 2nd day out of camp). People say Alderpaw was forced to become a medicine cat, but I feel like if his personality were more like Sparkpaw he would have gone for it. He just doubted himself so much he didn’t think he could ever go down such a special path. I loved seeing his personality develop, and although Sandstorm died, she died doing something that mattered to her (not that I was happy! It was much to sudden-more cuts, she dies a few hours later).

  • Kate, I’ve already read TAS and it was awesome! Loved it! Though I do have a question to ask, but I’ll wait until the spoiler page.

  • Kate, I know I said I wouldn’t ask any questions until the spoiler page, but this isn’t a spoiler. So I think it’s safe to ask.

    In TAQ Yarrowpaw is mentioned as being a tom. In the original allegiances listed on your old Blog, Yarrowpaw is also listed as a tom. But throughout TAS he is listed as a she-cat. So is Yarrowpaw actually a tom or she-cat?

  • I finished TAQ! I’ll have to ask my dad to order TAS for me and gove him the money as soon as he gets back, I’m underage so can’t just get them for myself! 🙁
    Awesome book to Cherith! (I don’t know how to contact her. XD)

  • Hi Kate! I was thinking about Juniperkit and Dandelionkit, Squirrelflight and Bramblestar’s dead kits, and I want ask about they descriptions. What did they looke like? Thank you! 🙂

  • Kate a lot of people (including myself) are asking questions on the TaS spoiler page. I’ve actually been noticing lots of questions on most of the spoiler pages. Maybe you can turn the ask Jaysnow page into a Ask Jaysnow and Kate page. Jaysnow can answer the canon stuff and you can do all the other stuff (such as name suggestions)? Maybe? Then the spoiler pages will be spoiler pages and not “ask Kate a bunch of questions” pages.
    Thanks!

    • I wish I had time to answer everyone’s question, but there just so much other stuff to do. I’m going to stop answering questions now so I can focus on Darkest Night, but next time I get a break I will answer what I can.

      • Take your time, Kate! I answered what I could (which was most of them, I just couldn’t answer the SE question so many people are asking) on the TAS spoiler page. 😀

          • Hi, Kate…
            I’m aware that you’re busy, but could you please take some time to respond to my email about DN?

            Thanks
            Jaysnow

            • You don’t have to moderate that comment or this one when you see that, just discard it, please. I don’t want to draw a crowd, Kate.

            • You should have all the information you need in the final message I sent you. If you have any further questions, please ask here! thank you 🙂

              • Ah, I would, but spoilers.

                However, the only thing I really need to see is the updated version, to rid of any last spare mistakes. It would be great if you could send that.

                • I would have only updated the list using the notes I made on the bottom of the one I returned to you. Can you use my notes to update it yourself. please? I am very busy at the moment. Deadline looming!

                • Oh, yes, of course, sorry Kate!

                  There are just little things I wouldn’t know, such as where to place Twigpaw. He’s in two Clans.

                  But you can contact me after you’re deadline’s passed. So so sorry!

                  • I’m just realising that it would be much better to send you a list when I’ve finished writing the book – as I write, I’m spotting so many errors and inconsistencies and, hopefully, correcting them as I go. I realise you are handicapped by your lack of access to Shattered Sky. But I simply can’t give spoilers – it would not be fair on Cherith and the editorial team who worked so hard on it. But I’m sure you are smart enough to be able to work with the information you have. You are the Sherlock Holmes of Warriors. 🙂

                • Oh, so you want me to update it for you and send it? Okay, I can do that.

                  I just want to see it after you’ve updated it to check for any last mistakes. But you can wait until once your deadline has passed.

                  Ack, I just realized I called Twigpaw a male…

                • I got your message! We’re a little behind on articles at the moment – our article Snakepaw is busy and so am I (Darkest Night rewrites) – so there may be a delay. I’ll have a peek later when I have a spare moment.
