User blog:Zaffie/Some Random Fails

Ok, so, while I was rereading for the Warriors Reading Marathon, I noticed some epic fails in the series. I know there are heaps of these, and heaps of people spot them, but I thought I'd do my own compilation as well. More will be added as I continue reading.

1. In Bluestar's Prophecy, it said that Dappletail was just one of those she-cats who couldn't have kits, no matter how much they wanted them. Then, later on, in Rising Storm, when they found out that Snowkit was deaf, Dappletail said that one of the kits in her first litter had been deaf. Oops...

2. Why were there four unrelated apprentices in ThunderClan? It seems very unlikely that four queens would have had single kits at once. And they didn't show much Clanmate-iness.

3. Frostfur had four kits, Cinderkit(Cinderpelt, Cinderheart), Brackenkit(Brackenfur), Thornkit(Thornclaw) and Brightkit(Brightheart). Cinderkit and Brackenkit were made apprentices a moon early, when they were five moons old. In spite of the 'pressing need' for warriors that caused Cinderkit and Brackenkit to become apprentices a moon early, Thornkit and Brightkit weren't made apprentices until about three or four moons later. That means they were at least 9 moons old when they finally began training. Whoops.

4. When Cloudkit was a kit, he referred to Thornkit as 'that dumb ginger kit of Frostfur's'. Wouldn't be have been much more likely to call him Thornkit?

5. Cloudkit was born and brought to ThunderClan a moon after Fernkit and Ashkit were born, yet he became an apprentice a moon before them. Because they were a moon older than him to start with, they didn't become apprentices until they were 8 moons old.

6. In Bluestar's Prophecy, we met Mosskit, and learned that she was a she, yet in Forest of Secrets, when Bluestar tells Fireheart about her kits, she says that 'the third one was too weak to cope with the journey. He died with me, by the river.' It's Rowanclaw all over again!

7. The general lack of interest about kits. There are kits who mysteriously vanish, kits who die even though a chapter before they were perfectly healthy, and kits who change genders from sentence to sentence. Not to mention a couple of kits who catch prey when they are still 3/4 moons old, a feat which has never been repeated. Huh.
