Millie overreacts in Fading Echoes

[squirrelflight]

In Fading Echoes, when Dovepaw sensed that the tree was
going to fall into the hollow, everyone there evacuated.
But then Mousefur said that it was an insult to Starclan
to 'waste prey' (I thought that she would rather live then
have a piece of prey!) so Longtail went back into the
hollow to get that piece of prey. Briarpaw/light
followed Longtail into the hollow, and into the elder's den.
Then the tree collapsed. Longtail died and Briarlight's
legs got trapped under a huge branch. When Graystripe,
Dustpelt and Lionblaze managed to get Briarlight out from under the branch and the tree, Graystripe and Millie were obviously really worried about her, so Jayfeather said that
she would probably be able to walk again soon, because
he didn't know at that point why she couldn't move her legs. After Jayfeather came back from seeing Littlecloud
(because Littlecloud had delt with a problem like Briarlight's before.) he did a test on Briarlight to see if
her spine was broken, and turns out, it was. Millie guessed
that Littlecloud's patient had died, and then she told
Jayfeather that he wasn't fit to be a medicine cat,
even though Jayfeather never said that Briarlight would
die. And there was another time in Fading Echoes when
Blossempaw jumped onto the tree where the leaders sat
during the gathering, and Squirrelfliht yelled at her to
get down, Blossempaw was surprised so she landed awkwardly and hurt her foot, Millie was acting like
Blossompaw was on the verge of deah or something like that, and she got really mad at Squirrelflight.
I think that Millie overreacted alot in Fading Echoes.

well Millie is a kittypet. kittypets can be very protectave of their kits apparently.
i guess its in their nature

[squirrelflight]

Still, she wasn't that over-protective in Eclipse or Long Shadows.

[Sunnyfrost]

well now she is. alot can change in a couple books. just look at Berrynose

[Mooncloud]

It's one of those parent things (I'm not one... but I've observed it in others). If something is bad happens to a kid some parents can overreact and get mad the doctor (in this case Medicine Cat) for not being able to do something about it.

Since Briarlight is injured, Milly is now overprotective of her remaining kits because she is afraid of something happening to them as well.

It's not a kittypet thing to be overprotective.

Speckletail- her kit was deaf. She was very overprotective over Snowkit and got angry with anyone who told her that he probably wouldn't be a warrior because of his disability.

Goldenflower- got angry at anyone for mistreating her kits (blew up at Fireheart/star a couple times)

Ferncloud- Birchfall's litter. When her kits were dying she got hysterical and very obsessive over Birchkit (I would too if I had triplets and two of them died)

Nightcloud- her son does no wrong around her. Defends him every time if he is accused of something.

I agree with mooncloud!

[Sunnyfrost]

eh uve got a point...but still

[Rosestar]

Still........

[Mooncloud]

...oh, and Leafpool- Her daughter murdered another cat, but she covered it up. (Her mother instincts are like Nightcloud)

Was not happy that Leafpool covered up the murder.

Nightcloud will probably do something similar when her son starts killing off cats on behalf of the Dark Forest. She'll deny he is doing anything wrong.

[Rosestar]

Breezepelt was swearing allegiance to a Shadowclan cat, so I wonder what his mother would say to that.

[Hawkstar]

Breezepelt, drink a beer and die, becuz everyone hates you so DIE DIE DIE!

[Rosestar]

Be nice.

[Hawkstar]

to Breezepelt?!

[Rosestar]

No It's why you got banned.

[Hawkstar]

Well, I'm back now!
