Wannabe artist and adorer of books. I mostly share my very random thoughts about the Warrior Cats books and sometimes also post some art. Reposts very appreciated!

Warrior Cats headcanon: When Squirrelflight/Squirrelstar feels any intense emotions (anger, excitement, etc.), she rapidly flicks her tail around the same way actual squirrels do.

As 2025 is coming to a close, I'm thinking about what I want to do in 2026.

I want to draw a lot more. I want to keep designing characters and practicing my art. I also want to be more involved in the Warrior Cats community, instead of just posting a few random thoughts every so often.

Warrior Cats - How Do You Draw: Blackstar?

Warrior Cats thought: Do you think the clans use the same "cover the scent of death" herbs at the fresh-kill pile? I know they use them when a clanmate dies before burial, but you know they have to do something about the stack of dead birds and mice in the middle of their camp.

Warrior Cats thought because I've been away from things for a bit: I never heard anything about Squirrelstar having a leader ceremony, & I'm getting increasingly concerned that some drama is gonna drop that something went wrong & she didn't get leader lives/didn't get all nine.

Warrior Cats thought: How big do you think the clan camps are spatially? Because when clans can get as big as 40 cats or more, and they need enough space to sleep, move around, gather for meetings, run across clearings, etc, it's gotta be a huge area.

It's been a really long time since I was posting on social media. To make a very long story short, Life chaos meant that I had to put social media to the side for a little while.

But now that things have settled, I can get back into the swing of things and back into art!

Random Warrior Cats thought: I think it's an interesting contrast that Firestar was willing to go against the warrior code when he thought it was justified, only for his granddaughter Hollyleaf to be like "You must follow the warrior code at all costs!"

Warrior Cats question: Some cats are described as having a "shredded" ear, but wouldn't that affect their hearing? Cat ears are shaped like that to pick up more noises, but I feel like the books don't address how a cat's hearing would be changed when an ear is that badly damaged.

Warrior Cats question because I'm not caught up on all of the books: Did we ever find out who gave Squirrelstar her nine lives, or is that still being held off until some future book? Because that seems like a pretty important detail in her life to just drop and never talk about.

That time Rusty went into the forest and then he ended up in ThunderClan.

What's your favorite "The Hunters forgot their own lore" moment in Warrior Cats? Things like how they forgot someone died previously, who mentored who, or who was related to who and things like that.

Always thought it was funny in Warrior Cats the clan cats say kittypets are soft and weak, even though there's multiple instances of kittypets kicking the asses of entire patrols of warriors. They really started the kittypet hate because they were mad at Pinestar, didn't they?

I'm not great with sprite edits, but I thought about doing this particular April Fools edit on the Warriors Wiki ever since I did one for Christmas.

My only regret is someone beat me to putting this in the pixel slot. I got there right at midnight but it was already changed. 😢

Bluestar's Prophecy will always drive me up a wall like what do you mean you introduced an entire cast of new and completely unrelated characters only to have a small handful of them have children and consequently retcon everyone in the first arc to be directly related?

Question for Warrior Cats artists: How do you draw Cloudtail?

Sometimes, I'll be playing around with drawing and how I want to develop my art style and I suddenly come up with a random new character.

Playing around with a Warrior Cats AU/Headcanon that after Scourge kicks them out of Bloodclan, Ruby and Socks managed to survive, find mates of their own, and have kits and later grandkits.

I realized after I posted this that I accidentally lightened Tigerstar in the fourth panel when I was attempting to lighten the backgrounds. (Backgrounds were too dark when 50% of the characters are also dark.)

Here's a fixed version:

I want to see Warrior Cats have either an arc or at least a subplot where a dog/pack of dogs helps the clans. We already had Millie speaking to dogs, why not have a dog who was raised with cats or something and learned how to speak to them?

It's been a while since I tried drawing my original four Warrior Cats OCs, so I took another shot at it. I feel like I've improved in some ways, and other ways I still have room for improvement.

Warrior Cats thought: We've had cats who lived their entire lives with their apprentice name. But what if a cat lived their entire life with their kit name? Maybe their mother left the clans for some reason, but kept their kit's name and decided not to change it as the kit grew?

With a random Warrior Cats article about Darkstripe being posted, I felt inspired to draw him.
