Most of them just come from ideas. After I've done the order, I look at it and think about the ones I need to have gags. Then I think of gags that would be funny (Runningwind being a stalker, Sorreltail being owned, Darkstripe being feminine, etc.) or ones that give a reason for the cat being eliminated where they are (e.g. King Firestar, Bumblestripe).

If you want to know how I came up with those SPECIFIC gags:

Cloudtail's came from a complete accident. Remember when I wrote the scene where a cat asked Ashfur to make nachos? Well, when I wrote the next episode, I mistakenly thought it was Cloudtail when it was actually Berrynose.

Willowpelt's came when I needed to think of a punishment in Season One. I thought instantly of talking to a psycho on the phone and not having a clue what they were on about. Then it was just thinking up of who to put in to that role. Then I cast her in to Season 2, and when I was thinking about gags, I read her part in Season 1 and just ran with it.
