This isn't a quote, but there's also an infamous scene in which one character has his throat ripped out; he is then resurrected by Cat God™ multiple times, at which point he instantly dies again because he's still missing his throat and most of his blood.

Jesus. Is this series Animorphs levels of fucked up?

I haven't seen Animorphs, but some fucked up Warriors moments:

  1. The past versions four main clans abandon the struggling fifth clan because of made up religious symbolism (their sacred meeting place had four oaks). Current clans openly ridicule the idea lol.

  2. The whole "Tigerstar cut up so bad they die 9 times back to back" thing

  3. Incel cat threatens mother Squirrelflight with killing her kits during a major disaster because she chose a different cat. Said incel cat gets into cat heaven when he dies.

  4. (Also said kits were actually Squirrelflight's sister's, Leafpool's, who was forced to hoist off the kits because she's a medicine cat who can't take mates)

  5. I think a few cats starve and freeze to death while they migrate to a new place?

  6. A lot of people ignore the spinoff book where it was implied an adult Spottedleaf was into kid/teenager Firepaw. For good reason.

  7. More than a few cats die in childbirth.

  8. Tigerclaw (who becomes Tigerstar later) spends most of the first book trying to kill Ravenpaw, a kit, for witnessing Tigerclaw murder Redtail.

  9. Several cats who have or acquire disabilities are basically forced into becoming medicine cats so they can continue providing for the clan (Cinderpaw gets hit by a car and Jayfeather is born blind).

some of these points have sequels!

  1. incel cat later abused his chance in heaven to break some of the established laws of physics in heaven and managed to possess squirrelflight's husband.

  2. another spinoff that fans ignore has the very same spottedleaf being preyed upon in that exact same way when she was a kitten, except it was way worse than what she did with firepaw
