I find it weird how the Erins make kits' appearances. I mean, they could make a whole family of entirely gray, white, and black cats and then BAM, there's a brown cat. I mean, really? And then you find the random gene was transmitted from their mother's second cousin twice removed.
For example, there are Graystripe's and Millie's kits, Blossomfall, Bumblestripe, and Briarlight (OMGLOLIJUSTREALIZEDALLTHEIRNAMESSTARTWITHB). Blossomfall's tortoiseshell because her great-aunt is Spottedleaf (sister of Willowpelt, Graystripe's mother), Bumblestripe is gray from both parents, and Briarlight is brown like Adderfang, who is her great-grandfather (father of Willowpelt). Maybe Millie had family members that were tortoiseshell and brown, too, but since there's only Graystripe who has an expanded family tree, we gotta work with that.
Then there are Tigerstar and Goldenflower's kits, Tawnypelt and Brambleclaw. Brambleclaw looks just like his dad, but Tawnypelt is tortoiseshell, like Spottedleaf (who is Tigerstar's aunt since her older sister Leopardfoot is his mother). I think it'd be less mind-screwy if the Erins just stuck with Tawnypelt being bright ginger, like Goldenflower...
And then there are also Rowanclaw and Tawnypelt's kits, Flametail, Tigerheart, and Dawnpelt. Flametail's ginger like his father and has his mother's green eyes, Tigerheart looks like his grandfather on his mother's side, but...Dawnpelt? How is she cream-colored? I mean, sure, Rowanclaw probably had a mother or sister or aunt or some other distant relative who had cream fur, but that's pretty random. I think it would have made more sense if Dawnpelt was gray, because that could just have been a variation of black, which is on her mother's fur, too.
There are probably lots more, but I don't feel like listing them all right now.
