What thoughts do you have about the Erins basing some of characters (especially important ones with a huge role in the series) on people/cats they know in real life? I personally think it is fine, as long as they don't have too big of a role, because it might lead to some issues with the creative license of the series. If I am correct, Bramblestar is based off one of the cats of someone on the team, and I feel that if he wasn't, then they might have let him go sooner. However, Millie was based off of someone's cat, and they booted her off, so I could just be blowing hot air at this point. However, that isn't the only downside, Ivypool is another one. I personally think that the suffix pool does not fit her at all, and the name would have been better suited or another character. I understand that they are the writers, they choose who to base their characters on, but these are just my thoughts about it, and I am very curious to hear everyone else's ^_^

Bramblestar and Sorreltail are based off two of Cherith’s cats, named Sorrel and Bramble. I think that’s super cute and I think that should be done more often. Otherwise, I don’t like it much. I really only like it when a character is named after a cat, not after actual people like in Ivypool’s case.
Also, to add onto this, Frankie (Stormcloud) and Benny are named after two cats of someone Vicky met on a flight.

I don't mind it when the Erins do that, at the end of the day, how the Erins make the characters is up to them. Plus it's interesting to talk about.

I'm not a fan of the Erins naming or basing characters after real people for any reason, but I think naming them after other cats is cute.

It's fine as long as it's not a main character. Supporting and background characters, sure, but having a main character be so close to a real-life person(cat) is too constricting.

Briarlight's struggles were based on that of Vicky's cousin. Briar was supposed to die not long after she got her injury, but then Vicky's cousin ended up with a similar injury around the same time Fading Echoes came out.
