This may be rather specific, but is there any breed that is bred for... Health? I know good breeders will do their best to screen for diseases and try to retire any cat that is prone to them, but is there any breed where the entire point is trying to make the healthiest, most functional animal out there?

Yeah, natural selection has given us the domestic shorthair.

Snarkiness aside, most cat breeds are really solid. Most cat breeds aren't bred to the same extreme body modification that dogs are. Outcrossing between breeds is pretty normal and encouraged in most breeds. Fédération Internationale Féline (FIFe) has actually banned several breeds, including Munchkins and Scottish folds. This is major because FIFe is part of the World Cat Congress, which is a sort of federation of the largest cat fancies with a focus on improving cat health in general. By banning these breeds, FIFe is effectively making a stand and hopefully other clubs will follow their example. They will, if their members make enough of a fuss.

There are absolutely outliers in cat breeds. Scottish folds, munchkins, extremely brachy persians and other short-faced breeds are all inherently unhealthy animals that should not be bred.

But, in general, cat breeds aren't as prone to fancy bastard diseases as dog breeds are.

possible sparkneedle family

needletail takes over the roles of larksong + juniperclaw. yeah they don't exist anymore, rip. also she lives longer and only dies at the end of avos, bc she died too soon, and her death in shattered sky made more sense at the end than in the middle of avos

the sparkneedle romance was brief and sour-sweet and ended w/ needle sacrificing herself to save violetshine from darktail.

there's a prophecy surrounding sparkstrike and skyclan but for most of the series she's very reluctant to fulfill the role; it's needletail who becomes more supportive of keeping skyclan in the lake territories, likely to atone for her previously supporting darktail's kin and manipulating violetpaw. she slowly convinces spark to agree w/ her, but it's after her death when spark decides to lead skyclan back to the lake to honor needle's last wish

i like to think that needle's mom named her after seeing an exotic vagrant bird of the same name. maybe it's an omen for something important

flickerkit still dies, jury's still out on nightheart but he's... less important to my au either way. their parents had planned to give flickerkit the suffix -bright had he lived

finchlight changes her name to finchspark (support her moms? to claim a fire-related name for legacy reasons? it's a little unclear)

sometime after finch gets her suffix, perhaps sparkstrike gets a rebound w/ stormcloud?

bonus genetics nerdery

needletail is a shorthaired black smoke solid w/ low white spotting (LL Xo BB Ii Wbwb aa bmbm Mcmc Spsp Wsws), carrying non-silver, non-wide band, classic tabby, and spotted. she has prominent ghost tabby marks that reveal a mackerel tabby pattern and have a strong bluish tint

sparkpelt is a shorthaired midnight charcoal red marbled tabby w/ low white spotting (Ll XOXO Bb ii wbwb Apba Bmbm mcmc Spsp Wsws), carrying longhair, solid, chocolate, non-Bengal mod, and spotted. normally charcoal isn't expressed in red cats, but a brightening mutation in her lineage makes the pattern more visible, though i'm not adding it bc i made it up

finchspark is a shorthaired midnight charcoal black tortie silver marbled tabby w/ low white spotting (LL XOXo BB Ii Wbwb Apba Bmbm mcmc Spsp Wsws), carrying non-silver, non-wide band, non-Bengal mod, and spotted. the silver gene makes her ginger patches more high contrast, and the black parts also have a bluish tint

nightheart is a shorthaired midnight charcoal red golden marbled tabby w/ low white spotting (Ll XO Bb ii Wbwb Apba Bmbm mcmc spsp Wsws), carrying longhair, non-wide band, solid, non-Bengal mod, and chocolate. he actually has a somatic mutation that deactivates phaeomelanin (red pigment) over most of his pelt

flickerkit is a shorthaired midnight charcoal red golden spotted tabby w/ low white spotting (Ll XO Bb ii Wbwb Apba bmbm Mcmc SpSp Wsws), carrying longhair, chocolate, non-wide band, classic tabby, and solid. he's the runt of the litter and probably would've stayed small if he lived

ahaha split face tortie curlfeather, im sure it doesn't mean anything in particular

[violetparakeetdraweroffurries]

idea: lightleap and blazefire as a trashfire on-and-off couple who divorce multiple times a year. lightleap divorces blazefire once just to confess her feelings to sunbeam (it goes poorly) (sunbeam is too busy mooning after blazefire) (she switches to mooning after nightheart)

[violetparakeetdraweroffurries]

so jayclaw has gray eyes, and his father mallownose's own father is unknown, and the only other gray eyed tom in the series is reedwhisker...

ideas for maplepool

i want her to be a tortie, and for reasons, also a blue silver tabby, but torbies are hard for me to color and silver ones even more so

she also has a mane and a chunky build, and a maple leaf shaped mark in all designs

[violetparakeetdraweroffurries]

to me there's a kind of bonus meta horror in the bristlefrost's death 'only love' scene where like. ok discussion of misogyny in the series has shifted a bit since then but you know how a few years ago people's main gripe used to be that after completing their arcs female characters would lose their personality and fade into the background to fulfill the generic role of 'mother'? and you also know how bristlefrost's personality and focus began to shift and diminish halfway through the arc where out of nowhere she suddenly reciprocated rootspring's feelings and was rushed into a poorly written romance arc? yeah well there's something really chilling (though not in a way that is in any way tonally intentional. in fact kind of the direct opposite of what the erins were going for and i think i would feel differently about it if her relationship with rootspring was not so uncompelling and short lived until this point) about how in her final moments before her existence ceases and she is denied her afterlife the visions she sees are of romance and love and rootspring and babies. just a total loss of individuality into generic warrior cats love interest and mother. to not be feeling for yourself at the end of it all but what you bring to another character. to just kind of embody the status quo of your series and fade away.

i really like the idea that firestar and his descendants have a mutation that makes red fur way more saturated. it's really obvious when you compare a ginger firekin to a random ginger clan cat

if you're wondering why some of the names are different this is for my au that i haven't named yet

[violetparakeetdraweroffurries]

"The fire has burned out, but to dispel the darkness you must find the spark that remains"

extremely disappointing from a doylist view that sparkpelt is not an avos protagonist. wdym you have a firestar clone named "sparkpaw", a prophecy for the clan firestar revived centered around a "spark" and you don't use her for anything important?

fuck it, she's the avos protag in my heart

[violetparakeetdraweroffurries]

Another reason why I *hate* the direction they went with Sparkpelt (as in not giving her any plot relevance - like being named Sparkfire and struggling with the legacy of being named and looking like Firestar) is that SkyClan received a prophecy telling them to "find the spark that remains", referring to Firestar's descendants. It's right there 😭

[violetparakeetdraweroffurries]

rwby but they're in the warrior cats verse

ruby, yang, and nora are from thunderclan, weiss is from shadowclan, blake is from skyclan, jaune is a kittypet who joins windclan, pyrrha is from windclan, and ren is from riverclan

i might expand later
