Examining the Clans’ Genetics in Warrior Cats by Lilykit

Lilykit breaks down cat genetics and applies them to ThunderClan!

Warriors genetics doesn’t make sense, and because of that I shall fix a decently big family tree, and that is Robinwing’s family tree because why not.
Note: I am not very good at genetics and I might get the whole carrying system wrong, and also most of the genetics stuff is actually done by a cat genetics calculator.

So, let’s begin with Robinwing and her mate, Fuzzypelt. Robinwing is a *presumably* long-furred cinnamon she-cat with splashes of ginger. Fuzzypelt is a *presumably* long-furred black tom. So, toms can be long-furred black while she-cats can be long-furred black with splashes of ginger. Their tomkits are Chestnutkit, Ravenpaw, and Dustpelt, while their she-kits are Frostfur, Brindleface, and Cherrypaw. All of them carry the gene for a cinnamon pelt.

Afterwards, we have Brindleface having kits with Redtail, creating Sandstorm. If Adderfang is technically a short-furred spotted brown tabby, then so is Redtail, so Sandstorm shall be a short-furred black she-cat with splashes of ginger.

Frostfur has kits with Lionheart, who is a short-furred blue (dilute black) mackerel tabby tom if I got it correct. Brackenfur and Thornclaw can be short-furred black mackerel tabbies while Brightheart and Cinderpelt can be short-furred black mackerel tabbies with splashes of ginger.

Brindleface has kits again, but with Whitestorm, who is a short-furred black and white tom if I got it correct. Ashfur can be a short-furred black (like his soul) tom, while Ferncloud can be a short-furred black she-cat with splashes of ginger.

Oh no, Dustpelt has kits with his niece, Ferncloud. Spiderleg, Shrewpaw, Birchfall, and Foxleap can be short-furred black toms, while Hollykit, Larchkit, and Icecloud can be short-furred black she-cats with splashes of ginger.

Brightheart has kits with Cloudtail, who is a short-furred dominant white tom (because Princess is genetically a short-furred tortoiseshell she-cat, so he can’t be long-furred). Whitewing, Dewnose, and Snowbush can all be dominant white mackerel tabbies carrying non-white, while Ambermoon can be a black mackerel tabby she-cat with splashes of ginger.

Sandstorm has kits with Firestar, who is a short-furred black tom. Squirrelflight and Leafpool can both be short-furred black she-cats with splashes of ginger.

Brackenfur has kits with Sorreltail, who is a white she-cat with black spotted tabby patches (if I got it correct). Cinderheart and Honeyfern can be black mackerel tabby and white she-cats, Lilyheart can be a black mackerel tabby with white splotches, and Poppyfrost, Molepaw, and Seedpaw can be black spotted tabby and white cats.

Leafpool has kits with Crowfeather, who is a short-furred black tom, so Jayfeather and Lionblaze can be short-furred black spotted tabby toms and Hollyleaf can be a short-furred black spotted tabby she-cat with ginger splashes.

Spiderleg has kits with Daisy, who is a long-furred cream (dilute red) she-cat. Rosepetal can be a tortoiseshell, and Toadstep can be red.

Oh no, Whitewing has kits with Birchfall and they are related. Dovewing and Ivypool can be short-furred dominant white carrying non-white.

Poppyfrost has kits with Berrynose, who is a cream and white tom. Cherryfall can be a tortoiseshell spotted tabby. Molewhisker can be a short-furred black spotted tabby and white tom.

Cinderheart and Lionblaze had both ignored that they are both related and had kits. Hollytuft, Sorrelstripe, Flywhisker, and Snaptooth can be short-furred black mackerel tabbies, Spotfur can be a short-furred black spotted tabby, while Fernsong can be a black mackerel tabby and white tom.

Squirrelflight finally has kits of her own with Brambleclaw, who is a short-furred mackerel black tabby tom. Alderheart can a short-furred black mackerel tabby tom while Sparkpelt looks the same but is a she-cat and ginger splashes.

Lilyheart and Snowbush are also related but they still had kits. Leafshade and Larksong can be black mackerel tabbies, while Honeyfur can be a dominant white she-cat, carrying white spotting.

Thornclaw has kits with Blossomfall, who is a silver and black mackerel tabby. Stemleaf, Eaglewing, Plumstone, and Shellfur can all be silver and black mackerel tabbies.

Dovewing has kits with Tigerheart, who is a short-furred black mackerel tabby and related to her. Shadowsight, Pouncestep, and Lightleap can be black mackerel tabbies.

Ivypool and Fernsong, third cousins, have kits. Bristlefrost can be dominant white, while Thriftear and Flipclaw can be black spotted tabbies.

Ok, so I think that’s it; however, there’s SOMETHING ELSE THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE NOW: Ships!!
