If the Clans were to end, what way would you prefer the Clans to end?

It would be real interesting if the Clans brought about their own downfall, so a battle between the Clans.

I want some horrible thing to happen to the clans (such as war, disease or natural disaster) and then what's left of the population just dwindles into nothingness. So kinda like ancient SkyClan, but worse

There could be a meaningful environmentalist message if Twoleg activity caused their downfall. But preferably I would like to see the Clans live forever.

Not really, cats thrive in human disturbed areas because it has driven out all of their predators and made it much easier for them to catch prey. On the contrary, feral cats are an invasive species in many areas precisely because they do so WELL in human affected areas while many other species don't cope as well. Even in native areas like Europe, they're a problem because they endanger true wildcats via interbreeding with them. If one wanted to make an environmentalist fable in-universe, it would probably be better to look at it through the angle of the true wildcats who are slowly getting diseases transferred to them from feral cats and having their relatively small populations overwhelmed by competitors.

I usually name the possibility of the Clans being discovered by twolegs and getting captured to be spayed/neutered which would then put quite a quick end to any further direct bloodlines/family trees in terms of Clan history if they get released back into the wild afterwards. Kittypet/Rogue Clans rise up!
Ultimately, my vote went to Driven out or killed by a much larger predator or a large group of predators because I'm, still waiting to see actual wolves wreck complete havoc on these war kitties. More specifically, the ones stated to live in the mountains who got mentioned to howl on a few occasions throughout TNP, PoT and OotS when Clan cats interacted with the Tribe. Of course, it would probably be unlikely to happen at this point and also not wipe the Clans out completely but the fact that there've been no wolves on-screen so far is just such a wasted opportunity, at least in my opinion. Then again, bringing them to he lake for a legitimate reason might be more difficult to achieve in terms of storyline, as to why a bunch of mountain wolves suddenly move to the lake territories.
If they do decide to end the Clans in a way, a plague/purge type of event would seems more likely though. So, a massive battle with many casualties could be yet another likely option as well.
Until then though, THE CLANS WILL NEVER DIE!

Yes, but I hardly see the modern Clan structure thriving in a human environment. The cats themselves might survive just fine, but they won't be Warrior Cats TM

While that seemed like it was a looser organization than a typical clan, it's similar enough that I think that the over all concept could survive.

The clans have been through pretty much each of these before and survived, so tbh I don’t really see any of them actually wiping out the clans.

I have dabbled and tweaked an apocalypse scenario since I was 12. Here's my scenario I use for OCs:
Many moons after SkyClan's return, the Clans live in harmony. But a mysterious and severe sickness spreads. One that hasn't been seen for moons, one in which the cure is long forgotten, and long gone. Many cats die, including all the leaders, deputies, mediators, and all but one medicine cat. This medicine cat, Yellowbelly, takes all the uninfected cats to find a new home.
This marks the end of the Clans as we know them. But new beginnings arise. A new Clan, JadeClan, rises from the ashes in the Clan's new home--the remains of the Old Forest. And the very few survivors, far away at the lake--along with new cats who settle, make their own Clan: LostClan.

As much as I think the Clans will survive until the heat death of the universe... What about, say, a natural disaster? Or even a man-made one?
In one of my FanClans, the reason for their near extinction was the 'cursed water', an oil spill that polluted the nearby water supply, killing off most prey and causing those who didn't die from the toxic waters to starve to death.

I know the Clans have bested a small dog pack before by killing the pack leader, but I could see a larger pack of dogs easily wiping out most of a Clan’s cats if they attacked their camp. Feral dog packs are no joke, they’ll kill a dozen pet cats in a single night. They’re scarily efficient killers, especially if they get loose among a large number of prey animals. In a worst case scenario, a pack of 8-10 dogs could probably devastate the Clans before they figured out how to stop them, or before they abandoned the lake to find a safer home.
Personally, though, I’d prefer the Clans go on indefinitely. Much more hopeful and less horrifying!

I personally hope that clans would go on forever, even longer than twolegs.
But if they fall, I think it would be because they lost faith in starclan. Clans aren’t just random group of cats; they are based on the code and belief toward their ancestors. But if they lose their faith, starclan will be gone because they’re upheld by their descendants’ belief. Then authority of leaders and medicine cats will be undermined, and the code won’t be as powerful as before. Slowly, clans will fall apart or destroy themselves

If the Clans were to end, what way would you prefer the Clans to end? A fire tornado that rips open the ground, causing a flood that brings sickness to prey and cats. Because of the lack of prey, the remaining cats battle and StarClan kills them all out if mercy.
