'Redtail and Brindleface? No. Scorchfire and Russetfur? Eww. Goldenflower and Scorchfire? Doubtful. Lionheart and Goldenflower? Even grosser!'

*looks up* Hm, what's that? What am I doing? Going through the genetically possible parents of Sandstorm, of course!

Yeah, it's weird. I know. Don't judge what I do in my freetime.

Ahem. Anyway, through the process of elimination, the only possible parents of Sandstorm are...SPOTTEDLEAF AND JAKE? Whaaaaaaat?

I don't think I have to explain what's screwed up with that.

Somehow I doubt that the Erin's would do anything that gross (on purpose, anyway).

So that brings us to our conclusion- Warriors Genetics just don't work the same way ours does. Cats with no white can have blue eyes, tortoiseshell toms are fertile, etc, etc.

In FanClans, however, you can choose your path. I chose not to follow real genetics in FloraClan--Emberblaze's Secret, on the other hand, does. (Even though it's in the sane universe as ES, I bent the rules a bit on The Orphaned Kits)

But please! If someone decides, "Screw genetics. I want the kittens to look this way!" that's perfectly fine.

So Warriors genetics is NOT the same as ours.

Doesn't stop us from theorizing, though!

Spottedleaf and Jake? Ewwwwww...
