On my first read-through, I imagined Tigerclaw as being the ginger and white tabby on the front of Fire and Ice - so I imagined him actually looking like a tiger
On my first read-through I also imagined Brokenstar being skinny and black. I’ve since corrected myself, but I still imagine him being really skinny rather than being a ‘huge’ tom
Tawnypelt I imagined as having a golden pelt like her mother - ie actually being tawny-coloured
Squirrelflight I imagine as being a golden-ginger like she is on the front of Dawn, rather than dark ginger
There are so many cats in the allegiances of a Vision of Shadows that I don’t even bother trying to get their pelt colour correct. So Twigbranch (yuck) is brown, Violetshine has purple eyes, Sparkpelt is yellow, etc etc

I used to imagine Mothwing as a brown Tabby. I have to remind myself every time she is mentioned she's not.

I do this all the time. I head-canon these:
Thistleclaw - white Clear Sky - white Leafpool - ginger tabby Crowfeather - black Ivypool - white with grey patches Hawkwing - tortie Redtail - redish-brown solid Mapleshade - ginger and white
I bet there’s more that I haven’t even realised are wrong, lol.

I also always pictured Honeyfern as a golden tabby and Tigerheart as orange/golden with black stripes like a real tiger. Also, why is it so common for realistic edits to make Hollyleaf tortoiseshell, even though neither of her parents have a red gene? Of course Leafpool would have it if she herself was genetically accurate, but I'm confused why the focus is always making Hollyleaf tortoiseshell instead of on changing Leafpool herself, or on keeping Leafpool and Hollyleaf the way they are and chaining Firestar or Sandstorm. Also Mousefur as being solid brown and not a tabby. Wait, Mousefur’s a tabby? I always thought she was solid brown! this is news to me as well!

I kept thinking of Flypaw as a white cat instead of a gray tabby
I blame WindClan's Flykit

I used to think Spottedleaf was mottled brown with a white muzzle. Kestrelflight is brown and gray with white patches. Canonically Firestar, Lionblaze, Cinderheart, and Sparkpelt are tabbies but I see them as solid coloured. Willowshine is a brown tabby.

Wait Kestrelflight's not ginger?? What????
Longtail was pretty much a darker Sandstorm in my eyes
Birches are silver, why is Birchfall brown
There's a trend in the artist community where everyone seems to think Alderheart's another Tigerstar clone

Some more: -Firestar is a ginger ticked tabby -Jayfeather, Lionblaze, and Hollyleaf all have a small dash of white fur on their chests -Any cat listed as "pale ginger" is cream (well technically they are) so Sandstorm is a cream tabby -All cats listed as "orange" or "ginger" are tabbies because there is no such thing as a tabby-less ginger-orange cat, same goes for cream cats but apparently they aren't in Warriors -I've always preferred Hazeltail as a gray tabby with white splotches and hazel eyes instead of the canon design -Clear Sky/Skystar is white -Ivypool is a brown and white tabby with amber eyes. Makes more sense than a silver and white tabby with dark blue eyes. -Leafpool was a cream tabby like Sandstorm -Mapleshade was a dark ginger tabby -Any cat described as "tortoiseshell and white" is a calico. No exceptions. -Honeyfern is a cream tabby with white splotches
