Amberpaw lists questions they had after reading some books.
Warrior Cats don’t have showers. Which is probably a good thing, because the Erin Hunters don’t have to think of any weird existential thoughts to keep poor Squirrelflight up at night. The Clans don’t have to deal with shower thoughts, but I’m cruel, so hello, I’m Amberpaw, and today I’m gifting to you my existential crisis I have to deal with from reading Warrior Cats. Merry Christmas.
(Er, Amberpaw, it’s May. Mod edit: Actually, it’s June!)
Why do Medicine Cats not call herbs medicine? They call their Cats Medicine Cats, so why not call their cures Medicine Herbs?
Speaking of Medicine, why do the Clans have such a long name for the Medicine Cat den? By the time a cat says “You need to go to the Medicine Cat den” the cat will already died from its wounds! Just call it the Herb House at this point.
How the Warrior Cat do you pronounce Macgyver’s name?
Who named Egg Egg? And why? Is he bald?
When will Warriors collab with Squishmallows?
Why didn’t all the SkyClan apprentices run away to ThunderClan with Finpaw and Twigpaw? They know how bad Leafstar is at naming Warriors. Harrybrook. Bouncefire! Seriously! The poor cats.
Why do people defend Mapleshade but not Breezepelt? Guys, Breezepelt had a redemption arc. Mapleshade went on a mass murdering spree.
Why did SkyClan get to claim the only mediator? Other Clans have arguments too!
On that topic, how long until “Mediators can’t have kits because they’ll be distracted blah-blah-blah” come into place in the Warrior code?
Why don’t they make Greystripe the official Warrior-cat-name-giver-outer? Sparkfire is so much better than Sparkpelt.
What did Clear Sky actually do to make up for his mistakes?
Should Thunder and WindClan mark the tunnel border alongside their patrols?
Why does Twigbranch love Finleap? That guy’s creepy!
Why is every cat related to Firestar? At this point there should be some sort of problem with their DNA.
Why was Silverstream at sunningrocks? She could’ve survived if it weren’t for the fact that she LEFTHERCLANTOGIVEBIRTH.
Who actually realised that Spottedfire was even a thing until AFTER Spottedleaf died?
Why is every kit the exact same?
Why doesn’t Thornclaw take a day of?
Why do cats get so grossed out by FRESH rat meat, and yet happily take week-old scraps of chicken from bins?
Why does RiverClan still say that the prey is running well blah-blah-blah at gatherings? The only food that they eat is fish!
Why don’t the other Clans fish? They have access to the lake, a fine source of prey and yet they still complain that they’re hungry.
Why hasn’t the lake ever frozen?
What if a cat wants to be vegetarian?
Why don’t cats have fun? Sure, there was the daytime gathering, but still only the apprentices actually do fun stuff. The warriors just watched and bickered about which apprentice won the fighting competition!
Why is it a crime to sleep in?
What would they watch if they had youtube?
What happened to the Blazing Star? Is it still in ShadowClan territory?
Where are twolegs when there’s a fire?
Why is Clear Sky called Clear Sky? Like, he’s grey isn’t he? So wouldn’t that make him Cloudy Sky?
So there you have it. Having an existential crisis after reading Warriors. I’ll probably, no- definitely, make a part two to this. But I hope you enjoyed this. And Dovewing should be grateful that she doesn’t have to take a shower.
Amberpaw, out.
Y’know what. WE NEED WARRIORS SQUISHMALLOWS
YES
Great article!
I have answers for a few of these… but, uh- my brain broke after reading this 😛
Same
This is a lot of questions… that I have no idea what the answers are to. Cool article!
My brain will never be the same after reading this 😛 Amazing article! Can’t wait for part 2!
This is probably my favourite article that I’ve written XD
This is a great article
Wow! Lots of questions, most of which I have no answer to. Great article 🙂
i have never seen such valid points
Got some more for ya!
1. Isn’t a Clan really an extended family? ‘Cause you technically can’t have kits with someone out of your Clan. And you technically can’t change Clans.
But then again, that doesn’t really get respected.
2. Why doesn’t StarClan change the Warrior code? There are some seriously questionable items on there. (Or maybe they have and I haven’t read to there yet)
3. Why did Cinderpelt literally be forced to become the medicine cat, but Briarlight and Brightheart weren’t affected as much (proportionally), despite having worse injuries?
4. Why did it used to be that there was ONE medicine cat and ONE medicine cat appendix, er, sorry, apprentice, even after the apprentice has recieved their medicine cat name (aka suffix), but now there can be TWO medicine cats?
5. Wouldn’t you have to kill someone nine times to kill someone nine times? How did Scourge do it to Tigerstar in one blow?
6. Why did Tigerstar I receive his nine lives if he was evil?
The answer to 5 is that Scourge hit 9 vital organs or something
Oh, okay.
(Wait are there 9 vital organs?)
Great article Amber!
A few answers…..
1. The lake did freeze once! In TPB or TNP
2. Two-legs came to the forest during the forest fire were Yellowfang died, and I believe where Clearsky almost died.
3. Not all kits are the ‘same’, some like Jayfeather and Snowkit (HE ISN’T
SNOWTUFT!) have disablities, making them slightly different, and others are fluffy, some are shorter or braver!
And I agree with the Silverstream one, Leopardfur/star told the clan but not Whiteclaw it was his (whiteclaws) kits so.. if her clan knew she was pregnant why was she left to leave clan territory, or even alone!?
They mightve mean how like 90% of kits have the same personality?
That’s what I mean! 🙂
IF I DON’T GET MY WARRIORS SQUISHMALLOWS RIGHT NOW I WILL THROW MY COUCH OUT THE WINDOW
They’d be much cuter than those ugly Warriors plushies we have now…
Also, about Clear Sky, he was probably born under a clear sky or something.
Y’know? Just thought of something.
Gray Wing? Gray.
Clear Sky? Gray.
Storm? Gray.
Jagged Peak? Gray.
Quiet Rain? Gray.
Thunder? O R A N G E
At this point, genetics isn’t even a thing anymore.
Anyway, great article! Thank you for these wonderful things to ponder in the shower!
BRIGHT, HIGHLIGHTER ORANGE.
This comment made me laugh so hard OMSC
I alway imagined thunder to be like a grayish-orange idk but that’s a good point!
I have been rickrolled by ur display name ;-;
I agree with ALL of these
