genetically incorrect?
I was watching this youtube video, over the top ten most genetically incorrect warrior cats, and Tigerclaw was on this list.
However, the creator of the video, did not list why these characters were genetically incorrect
Some on the video made sense, however, Tigerclaw doesn't.
His mother, Leopardfoot is black, she carries the black gene, Tigerclaw is a black tabby (I know it says he's brown, but technically, he's a black tabby)
Pinestar's color doesn't matter, because males don't get any color genes from their fathers, but he is a tabby.
At first, I thought, maybe it's because Leopardfoot is a solid, but then I remembered this litter of kittens IRL.
Their mother was a black tuxedo cat, and their father was a brown tabby with medium-high white..he was like a white cat with large brown tabby patches
Anyway, the WHOLE little of kittens came out as brown (black) tabbies...surprisingly, as much white as the parents had, only one of the kittens had white, and it was her paws.
Sorry for the long rambling post, I'm just really confused on how Tigerclaw is genetically incorrect

theres a lot of genetically incorrect cats in warriors but tigerclaw def isnt one of them. a much more egregious example would be firestar and sandstorm, two ginger cats, having a brown tabby somehow

Don't even get me started on Blossomfall lol Speaking of Firestar, he shouldn't even be ginger, because his mother isn't lol Sandstorm too (if Brindleface and Redtail are still her parents) because she'd either be black or tortoiseshell, I think, I'm not sure how it'd exactly work with a tortie male, but I know that tortie females can have both red or black sons, and dilute torties (if the dad also carries the dilute gene, or is dilute) can have grey or cream sons. Their daughters depend on the color of the father, if the father is red, then their daughters will be tortie or red, if the father is black, the daughters will be tortie or black lol You probably already know all of this though

Why is everyone citing Hollyleaf as genetically incorrect all the time, though? I mean, if you haven't read all of TPOT, but I don't think that's the case for most people saying that.

I think she's genetically correct Leafpool isn't dilute, Crowfeather is a solid...it's possible that Hollyleaf is a solid black cat Lionblaze isn't genetically correct, since he's got the red gene and Leafpool isn't a tortie or red Jayfeather...he could be genetically, or he couldn't be...it all depends on whether Leafpool carries the dilute gene or not, if she doesn't, then he'd have to be a black (brown) tabby, not a grey one or a solid black cat like Hollyleaf

Wait...Hollyleaf is a longhair, isn't she? I see now, Crowfeather and Leafpool are both shorthairs, two shorthair cats can't have a longhair.

That's cool, and yeah, it makes sense, this cat I had, he was the only long haired kitten in his litter, and his mother was a shorthair, as for his father, I have no idea lol
