It was recently confirmed that Sandstorm's parents are Redtail and Brindleface. What do you think guys? I'm kinda grossed out because AshxSquirrel is related now...

It gets to the point within a clan where all cats are related to each other in some way. A few generations of breeding makes it impossible to breed with a cat that has 0% blood unless you have a HUGE clan or they take an outsider as a mate.

Hey Swanfeather (great name): I know, but they're just too closely related now. He's her uncle.
Anyway, here's what else I have to say:
Sandstorm looks and acts nothing like Brindleface. They didn't speak three sentences to each other in the entire series. And the Erins clearly know nothing about cat genetics - for a ginger kitten to be born, either both parents must be ginger or they must have a ginger father and a tortoiseshell mother. Tawnypelt and Rowanclaw could have a ginger kit (Flamepaw) because Tawnypelt's a tortie and Rowanclaw is ginger, but Brindleface is not ginger.
It's just...eh. Brindleface didn't seem like the type of cat who would have two mates.

I guess they just needed someone to be her mother. I thought it was Frostfur or something...

Redtail is Sandstorm's father, (confirmed on recent Erin Hunter chat), but Brindleface isn't her mother. Or if she is, it was never ever said by the Erins.

I mean, I like knowing more cat's families, but I don't care much either way, but it's nice to have things confirmed. I was frustrated when BP didn't reveal Sandstorm, Dustpelt, Graytripe, and Ravenpaw's parents...

Yes. That's all well and good, but as much as i like having a full famiy tree i'd rather they didn't just struggle to fit in in AFTERWARDS. i mean, redtail as sand's father? I just don't see where that fits in personally. I'd rather be left in the dark than have a bunch of weird, out of place family trees...

Once i read some way in Into the Wild, i assumed Redtail was Sandstorm's father. I have no idea why, i just did.

I believe it was confirmed on VH's Facebook.

By the way, can I have a link to her Facebook? I don't believe I've been there before.

I don't actually know where to find her Facebook. I saw this on the Warriors Wiki (I think).
