Okay So It's April Fools But This Is Not A Joke. I Think I May Have Inserted My Childhood Cat Into Warriors

A drawing of a brown tabby with small spots of orange on her face and side, with green eyes. Text reads: Molly. 'My Shaela, oh my Shaela'. Small petite frame, round paws and body. Recessed chin, makes muzzle feel wide. Short tail, less than torso lengths, but not docked. Nose bridge is a gradual slope to eyebrows, Nose pad T shaped with a slight curve in top edge. Nick in right ear. Cryptid tortishell ginger spots, two on forehead and body, chest spot, single front toe.

Okay so it's April fools but this is not a joke. I think I may have inserted my childhood cat into warriors canon.

Back a couple years ago when there was the open submission on the official warriorcats instagram I made a comment about my childhood cat molly. I didn't think anything of it at the time and figured it would just get lost in the stack of one thousand comments forever. then a couple weeks later came the official poll with the story teams choices of kittypet name options, and lo and behold there was Mollypaw, at the bottom of the list. I picked her name and saw it was in the lower percentile of choices and figured that would be that. THEN came the official release of Thunder and in the park cats was Molly! Mentioned right alongside the other submission cats Waffle and Wasp. I cannot prove it, and don't know how I would contact Kate to even ask, but I am pretty sure that Molly has been immortalized in warriorcats forever. So I figured I should give her the design she deserves! This is a bit more complex than my average because I just can't help it and also can't imagine anyone will animate her ever except for me. Also the book describes her with amber eyes but I retconned them to her beautiful green as they should be.

just for those who can't log in to instagram to see the comment section here's the screenshot from the mentioned posts:

A cell phone screen shot from the Warriorcatshubofficial instagram which reads: Would you like to see your own kitty pet featured in the next Warrior Cats book, Thunder? We need to assign a name to a new cat and we're giving you the chance to put your own pet forward for the dedication! Tell us in the comments below and out Story Team will choose their favorites for a poll on the Hub. Make sure it sounds good with the 'paw' suffix!
A screenshot of my comment below the affore mentioned post which reads: My childhood cat Molly was my first subject in my imagined self inserts into the Warriors forests. I got the name "mossnose" on the old first name last name warriors name generator on the old website so that was always her warrior name in my mind. Either Mosspaw or Mollypaw would be fine warriors names I think, even if Mollypaw is basically calling a cat "womanpaw" or "ladypaw"! It's silly but could be a unique name in the series. I loved Molly, she was as close to a nanny as I ever had. She used to call "hello" in the hallway to see if anyone was home, and come find us when we called back. Molly was brave and noble, she once sent a dog yelping from our home even though she'd been declawed (my mother has said she would never declaw a cat again and has stood by that ever since). She had an attitude of wisdom that couldn't be contained in her tiny 7 lb body. She lived to be 17 and passed in 2010, and I'll always Love her.
A second screenshot from the comment section showing the follow up comment to the first which reads: Forgot to say a description in case that is needed, she was a cryptid tortie, so brown tabby with ginger toes and a ginger flash on her chest! green eyes, and a petite muzzle.
A screenshot of the following poll after the initial submission. The prompt asks Which kitty pet do you want to appear in Thunder? The options include: Bubblepaw, Biscuitpaw, Pumpkinpaw, Copperpaw, Baglepaw, Pepperpaw, Buddypaw, Sophiepaw, Figpaw, Pixiepaw, Basilpaw, Jinxpaw, Luckypaw, Picklepaw, Wafflepaw, Cricketpaw, Scooterpaw, Beanspaw, Sproutpaw, and Mollypaw. The description reads: We asked you to nominate your kitty pet to be featured in Thunder, and here is the short list of real names! Head on over to Warriorcats.com via #linkinbio to vote for your favorite! #warriorcats. April 1 2023.

Here is a collage of pictures I dug up to reference with some of my dumb baby face as well! Rest in peace forever Molly, 1995-2010.

A collage of five printed photos I took pictures of and uploaded. The first: myself at about age 6 holding Molly in my lap near a drawing desk, Molly is wearing a pink collar and you can see her eyes are glowing from the camera flash. the second: A picture taken in out backyard around 2009, molly is elderly and only noticeably so in the grayness in her orange nose spot. She is looking over her shoulder past the camera at something that caught her attention. The third: a photo of myself as a toddler watching Molly eat. We probably had just recently adopted her, and she shows no signs of anxiety over being close to a small child. The fourth: Molly lays on the couch and looks into the camera. Her eyes are vibrant green and you can clearly see the ginger flashes on her face and chest. The couch dates the photo, this is probably from the early 2000s and she would have been a young adult. The fifth, A photo of myself dressed up as a cat for Holloween, holding Molly. she is comfortable and looks toward the camera unfazed. you can see her orange nose and toes.

A drawing of a cat that is medium grey with black feet, face, and tail tip. The fur is thick and rounded, overlapping the shoulders and heels. There is also a small photo of a shrew pasted into the picture nearby, to illustrate the similarities between it's round body and small ears with the drawing. Text reads: Shrewfoot. Shrew lady. Based features off a common shrew, super fluff and round, tiny wide ears. Pointed smoke because why not. Hair shape important on chest, back of neck, back legs. soft overlap to give that full pelt feel.

Shrewfoot! First appeared in the allegiances in Eclipse, her Mentor was listed as Ratscar. She has a little bit of characterization in Night whispers, during Flametails chapters, where she asks flametail to check her paw which is sprained. He goes to get her some poppy seed and Littlecloud intervenes and tells him how to wrap it in comfrey instead, since Shrewfoot sleeps too heavily on poppy seed. This is the first time I think I've seen something like a medication sensitivity in warriorcats, and think it would be pretty cool if investigated further. I think it's probably just that, but there is a possibility that Shrewfoot had some medical peculiarities that under certain circumstances were a limitation, and I wish (as a nerd) that there was more instances of either sensitivity or resistance covered in the training of medicine cats, and how often that may cause difficult illness or complicated recovery strategies. Perhaps it is why as such a young warrior she didn't survive the Great Battle, not as a primariy trauma but a battle and failure with illness due to drug resistance. But that is just speculation and I digress!

She is seen in the background of a few scenes in Night Whispers and doesn't appear on page again until the Last Hope. She is among the cats named as having perished in the battle with the Dark Forest, yet accidentally appears alive talking to Tigerheart in Dovewing's silence. The only speaking lines she has that are memorable happen in battles of the clans in a scene where Tigerheart is teaching shadowclan apprentices how to ambush patrols for battle. She's not a confirmed member of starclan in that we have seen her on page there but we can presume so since she fought on the side of the clans and was never seen in the dark forest.

A drawing of a cream cat with tiger like stripes and a white muzzle and spot on her chest. Text reads: Dawnpelt. A cream tiger child. I pulled some traits from her grandmother, using the chest white spotting to create a 'dawn' rising-sun marking. Stripes also in the same positions as Goldenflower's. 2nd sunburst on forhead, for motief. Same eye color as Tawny, pupil is Flame's eye color. Tail tapers like rowans, two fur details like flame. Build mixes Tawny and Rowan, slight with big paws. Body fur details on elbows back and  head like Rowan. Lots of other stuff too. Kit and kit 2 version for po3 reference

Dawnpelt! She is a fave. Dawnpelt is the daughter of Rowanclaw and Tawnypelt, she was mentored by Ivytail, and temporarily by Spiderleg when Blackstar was having his faith crisis with Sol. She is the mentor to Beenose and Voletshine. in the Power of Three she is mostly just a cute kit and then 'paw, and she helps do the whole fake starclan sign thing with the three and Flamepaw. She is significant in the Omen of the Stars after Flametail dies in that she becomes convinced Jayfeather killed her brother and wants to see her cousin punished. When Flametail exonerates Jay the topic is just kind of dropped.

She takes Crowfrost as a mate and has Juniperkit Strikekit and Sleekkit in the Vision of Shadows arc. When Rowanstar is exiled Dawnpelt tries to convince her son Strikestone to come with them but instead Dawn stays behind with her kits in Shadowclan because Sleekwhisker says after Crowfrost's death She's all the kin they have left. When Darktail and the Kin are obviously bad she starts to organize Shadowclan member's escapes including Juniperclaw and Strikestone the day before the battle against Riverclan, and she tries to convince Violetpaw but she refuses. It's because of their conversation that Darktail catches Dawnpelt before she can leave unnoticed. She is murdered in the lake by Darktail alone and is considered missing, until she gives her brother Tigerstar a life for Hope.
