I decided to make another thread on this:
Unknown year (in other words, I can't find the year):
Yellowfang's daughters are named Wishkit and Hopekit.
Appledusk and Reedshine's kits were named Applefrost, Shyheart and Willownose.
Erin Hunter Chats:
Thunderstar is not related to Firestar.
Bluestar was originally name Bluestone.
Snowkit was killed to give Speckletail an extra nudge to move to the elder's den.
The current family tree on the website was compiled by someone who is very committed to the series, but she wasn't one of the Erins.
2018:
Kate pictures Shellpaw as white with a few tortoiseshell patches.
Kate would like to write a SE on Leopardstar is she ever got the chance. (I'm not surprised since she's always liked Leopardstar and RC is her favourite Clan)
2016:
Vicky thinks that Whiteclaw from Fire and Ice is a dark brown tom with a white paw.
Vicky likes the idea of cats naming their kits after other cats, just like Twolegs do.
Kate's kittypet name for Turtle Tail would've been Muffin. (I think that's an adorable name)
Twigbranch, Violetshine and Needletail are short-furred.
There are 9 years between the end of MV and the start of GC.
PC start 3 years after Mapleshade's death.
Windflight's parents are Squirrelwhisker of TC and Eaglestorm of WC.
Sweetbriar and Fallowsong are sisters, making Pinestar and Poppydawn cousins.
Rainfur's mate was Windflight.
Mudclaw and Tornear are the kits of Ryestalk and Shrewclaw.
Ashfoot and Morningflower are the first litter of Wrenflight and Stagleap of WC. Onestar was from the second litter.
Harepounce's mate was Stagleap from TC.
Vicky thinks that Stormtail and Swiftbreeze are littermates.
Graypool, Goosefeather and most notably Bluestar suffered from forms of dementia towards the end of their lives.
Tawnyspots got his name because he had pale brown spots on his tummy when he was born.
2015:
Kate believes Tom is in a kittypet afterlife, being gently taught how to be kind by much lovelier kittypets.
Owlstar from SOTC and Owlstar from COTC are not the same cat. Vicky just happens to like the name "Owl".
Petal was in Clear Sky's thoughts when he named Dew Petal.
They never thought of names and genders for Thunderstar's littermates. (Still hoping they'll be on the updated family tree though)
Thunder and Shadow was originally titled The Lost Clan.
Black Ear is thick-furred, while Silver Stripe and White Tail are short-furred.
To Kate mottled is like sunlight on a forest floor – many shades, many sizes in a dappled way.
Clear Sky's kits (Dew Petal, Flower Foot and Tiny Branch) are short-furred.
Kate's favourite Warriors book is The Sight because that was the book when she really began to feel comfortable writing.
Moth Flight has ADD. (I personally believe that Flypaw has this as well)
Kate on rogues and loners: "I’ve always wondered where loners and rogues go after they die. I hope it’s a different place from kittypets. Kittypet heaven should be filled with sofas and beds and people. Perhaps kittypets share a heaven with cat-lovers. Perhaps nice loners and rogues go there and enjoy the warm, well-fed easy existence they are denied in life Mean loners and rogues probably end up in the Dark Forest. Or perhaps if you don’t believe in StarClan, you don’t go anywhere…."
Kate has made Splinter Milkweed's ex and thus the father of her kits, Thistle, Clover and Bramble.
Clear Sky will choose Star Flower in StarClan. She won't let any other cat get their claws on him.
Kate "thinks Gray Wing, Slate and Turtle Tail are chill enough to live peacefully together in StarClan. Turtle Tail and Slate each know that Gray Wing’s love is honest and unending, and they know their own worth. Jealousy wouldn’t be an issue. I doubt they’d bicker over exclusive rights to him. And he is so full of love and compassion that he has no need to choose. He would simply go on loving them as he did in life and they would continue to love him. What's not to love about Gray Wing, Slate or turtle Tail?"
Blue Whisker, Spider Paw, Bubbling Stream and Honey Pelt were all short-furred.
Blue Whisker was named after her whiskers which have a peculiar translucent quality that gave them a blue tinge in certain lights.
Vicky confirmed that Flowerpaw from MV is female.
Nettlepaw from MV and Nettlebreeze from GC are the same cat.
Dawnfeather (Nettlebreeze's mother) has pale blue eyes, like the sky at dawn.
Patchkit, Mapleshade's son, is ginger and white with a tiny bit of black.
Vicky doesn't think Mapleshade was medically insane, but she was driven mad by grief and feelings of betrayal, and this led to hallucinations that her dead kits were urging her to commit murder.
Vicky thinks Appledusk genuinely loved Mapleshade, but not more than he loved his position in RiverClan, and his reputation as a loyal warrior.
Vicky thinks Ripplestar (from COTC) is in the Dark Forest.
Cloudpelt's sister was named Littlekit because she was born small and frail.
In GC, Stormtail wasn't trying to kill Goosefeather during the badger incident. It was just an accident.
Goosefeather died from brain infection.
Moonflower didn't blame Goosefeather for her death. She was a warrior, and knew that she had to be prepared to give up her own life for the sake of her Clan.
Goosefeather was born with a unique gift to walk in both StC and the DF.
Smallear is the mate of Speckletail and father of Lionheart and Goldenflower. (This was confirmed by Vicky, but it doesn't seem to be on FB anymore)
Vicky has always imagined that Robinwing and Fuzzypelt died in battle outside the books. (Though Fuzzypelt did retire in BP, so that could only happen if the Clan was attacked.)
2014:
Ashfur went to StarClan because he was essentially a loyal and well-meaning warrior. He was just driven a bit crazy from unrequited love! Vicky thought for a looong time about whether she should send him to the Dark Forest. (I wish she did send him to the DF)
Pikepaw (Mistystar's kit) is a tom.
Milkfur (RC's medicine cat) is a she-cat.
Vicky once stated that she thinks Crowfeather's father might be Deadfoot - this has since been confirmed in the books.
Stonefur was named after Stonepelt.
2013:
When Kate was asked if Sunstar had feelings for Moonflower she responded "who would NOT secretly love Moonflower?"
2011:
Vicky thinks Adderfang is the one of Spottedleaf's parents descended from Spottedpelt. (Ironically, he is a dark brown tabby)
2010:
Macgyver was named after the TV series since Vicky is a huge fan.
Waspwhisker was originally named Hunchfoot.
2009:
Vicky has a soft spot for Ravenpaw because he's the most like her - shy and clumsy and always saying the wrong thing, and much happier living with just one friend than in a busy ol' Clan. She likes Jayfeather too, because he says what he thinks. Her least favourite cats are those who always do the right thing.
Ravenpaw will NEVER get a warrior name because that was never his destiny. He no longer feels that he has an "apprentice" name, it's just his name.
Willowpelt and Tawnyspots are Darkstripe's parents. (I'm still not sure if these confirmations from 2009 are still canon, or if they've been retconned)
Graystripe's parents were Patchpelt and Willowpelt (I wouldn't be that surprised if the new editors completely retconned this one)
Though Dustpelt and Ravenpaw were littermates, Dustpelt NEVER admitted it. Their parents were Robinwing and Fuzzypelt.
Sandstorm's parents were Brindleface and Redtail.
Longtail's parents are Patchpelt and Robinwing. (This one was hinted at in SH, which stated that these two always looked at each other lovingly)
2008:
Vicky wanted to name Adderfang, Adderflight. To Kate, that sounds like flying snakes. (That would freak me out)
