Cat House

This is an article about a house in Japan made just for cats. The article is here.

Its cool that someone made a house just for these cats...but you know, not many people think, "I'm going to make a house just for my cats today." I guess that's why it's cool.

Another interesting thing I found is this video of a cat climbing up a wall here. It's following a laser pointer, and it climbs up a completely flat wall, its hilarious. Enjoy.

Slow Months

These have been some slow months for the warrior cats series. The last book came out in the beginning of July, and the next book, The Forgotten Warrior, doesn't come out until late November.

Here are just a few interesting things noticed by the WC fans:

1. Mistyfoot (RiverClan) was oldish when Firestar came into the clans, while Mousefur had just become a warrior. Now Mousefur is an elder, and Mistyfoot is RiverClan's leader. She has been around for every single book!
2. In Code of the Clans, there is a story about kits drowning and going to StarClan. There, they are adult cats. On the other hand, when Bluestar's kit died, Mosskit, it stayed a kit in StarClan.
3. In the first series, it was said that all apprentices must journey to the Moon Stone before they can be warriors. After Graystripe and Fireheart go to the Moon Stone, it isn't mentioned at all that any other cat went before they had their ceremony.
4. In Crookedstar's Promise, it says that Rainflower is Crookedstar's mother, but in Bluestar's Prophecy, it says his mother is Lilystem.
5. In sign of the Moon, Rock says he was the first Stone Teller, but then Jayfeather discovers Half Moon was the first. 

Fifth Arc Rumors?

We all know there will be a fifth arc about the "ancient clans" but there is obviously more to that. It is rumored to  be about Thunder, Sky, Shadow, River, and Wind making the clans. Here are some RUMORED names for the fifth arc:

• Dawn of the Clans
• Birth of the Stars
• Rise of the Stars
• Birth of Justice
• Stars in the Sky

There is even some talk from fans about a sixth arc, which is not entirely out of the question, but since the Erins haven't even started the 5th arc that won't be confirmed for a few years.

Warrior Cats Manga?

The company that produces the warrior cats manga series (Tokyopop) is no longer publishing books, although it was the second largest manga publisher in the U.S. After the devastation in Japan, the company had many lay-offs, and this is the result. The real problem is that they might not give away their publishing rights, meaning that no other company could publish the stories. The only other option is that they give them back to the authors, so hopefully we can still have the rest of the SkyClan & The Stranger books, unless they were already mass produced, then there's nothing to worry about.

Spoilers Spoilers Spoilers!

From the Warriors Wiki, it says that it is confirmed that Hollyleaf is the forgotten warrior, and that this book is "about how difficult it is to go back to a life you thought you'd left behind. It's also about forgiveness, and acceptance, and coming to terms with guilt."


The summary: The spirits of the Dark Forest are gaining strength, and Jayfeather, Lionblaze, and Dovewing must face the destinies that await them. Suddenly, an outsider appears in ThunderClan’s midst, spreading discord and turning Clanmates against one another. As tensions mount, the warrior cats will be forced to choose whose word they can trust—before it’s too late.
What this may mean...

• Hollyleaf appears, and Jayfeather and Lionblaze are forced to tell the clan about the prophecy
• The clan starts arguing about 1.) who the 4th cat is 2.) what to do with Hollyleaf 3.) Who's in the Dark Forest
• They have to figure out who is with the Dark Forest and who is not, and they must warn the clans.

More spoilers & rumors...

• Leafpool is the cat on the cover (chasing the squirrel) Erin Hunter said that she still has a big role to play
• Ideas for the fourth cat: Foxleap, Hollyleaf, Ivypool, Cinderheart, Squirrelflight
• It is rumored that there will be "a gruesome death in book six." Possibilities: Firestar or Brambleclaw? :( So sad!
• Jayfeather is rumored to get an apprentice in OOTS6

Random WC Things

"Q: How big is the Thunderclan camp? I mean, is it as big as half a football field, or just an apartment backyard, or WHAT!? 

Vicky: Good question! It’s about ten acres, so ten football fields in a rough square."


I think Vicky misread "camp" and thought it was "territory".


"Q: Will you ever let Bloodclan show up again? I mean, it was a perfect group of villains! Wouldn't it be cool to have Bloodclan show up with a more evil leader than Scourge?

Vicky: Ah, I love how popular BloodClan is! I’m afraid they are no more, although we see their remnants in the Ravenpaw manga trilogy. Because they weren’t an organized Clan, united by common aims and a code of honor, without their dynamic leader Scourge they scattered to the four winds. Two cats try to resurrect the Clan but they don’t have a code of honor either so the cats are easily defeated once again."

NEW Super Edition

Next summer, the super edition will be focused on ShadowClan! Vicky confirmed it after a WC fan asked what was coming next in warriors. She replied:
" There's a RiverClan Super Edition coming out this year called Crookedstar's Promise, and a ShadowClan Super Edition next year, yippee! Also more Seekers books with the launch of the second series. And always more manga!"
