|''Warriors''
|Erin Hunter
|Warriors is a book series (with seven six-book arcs, eleven stand-alone books, manga series, field guides, and novellas) about four Clans of feral cats living together and fighting for survival. The series starts out pretty neutral, one example being first arc main character Rusty/Firestar questioning why the Clans don't just become one big Clan before ultimately respecting Clan traditions. The earlier books also say that even if the Clans are staying separate, they can still come together to fight whatever threatens all the Clans, including Scourge and his BloodClan cats as well as the Dark Forest (the cat version of hell). Family is portrayed positively in Firestar agreeing to adopt his sister's firstborn kitten Cloudtail so that he can be a warrior like him.
However, it's become more liberal in later books, encouraging more open borders (as RiverClan leader Mistystar is seen as senile for closing her Clan's borders and looking after her own cats first) and moral relativism. It also portrays StarClan (the cat version of heaven) as manipulative fools when they previously stated that they only watched over the Clans and guide them every now and then. Anarchy is seen as good in the form of Needletail, who refuses to take responsibility for helping the sixth arc's villain, Darktail, take control of ShadowClan due to resentment towards their leader Rowanstar. Finally, the more conservative cats are portrayed as paranoid, archaic, and narrow-minded while the more liberal cats are portrayed as heroic.
