I don't understand why people hate Squirrelflight. I think she's awesome, and is one of my favorite cats in the series. I think she'll be an excellent mother. Sparkpaw and Alderpaw are pretty lucky cats. Their father is the Clan leader, their mother is the deputy, and their cousin and their aunt are the medicine cats. That's pretty cool that most your kin are the most respected cats in the Clan. But I think Squirrelflight's a little too old to be having kits. She's like 8 years old, and the average feral cat lives 3-5 years. And Bramblestar's older than her, he's like 9 years old. I find it weird that there foster son had kits before they had kits of their own, and Lionblaze's kits are at least two years old by now, since they were six moons at the end of Bramblestar's Storm, and the new series takes place 18 moons after Bramblestar's Storm. Anyway, got a little off track there. On to the quotes!

"Yes, O Great One, I shall do exactly what you say. And when we come back empty-pawed, maybe you'll admit that I was right." - Squirrelpaw to Brambleclaw Midnight, page 16

Squirrelflight: "Enough, Ashfur. Your quarrel is with me. These young cats have done nothing to hurt you. Do what you like with me, but let them out of the fire."

Ashfur: "You don't understand. This is the only way to make you feel the same pain you caused me. You tore my heart out when you chose Brambleclaw over me. Anything I did to you would never hurt as much. But your kits... If you watch them die, then you'll know the pain I felt."

Squirrelflight: "Kill them, then. You won't hurt me that way. If you really want to hurt me, you'll have to find a better way than that. They are not my kits." - Ashfur and Squirrelflight during the fire Long Shadows, pages 274-276

Leafpool: "I know that I can not be ThunderClan's medicine cat any longer. I'm very sorry to you, Firestar, and to all my Clanmates. Please know that I tried my best, and regretted what I had done with every single breath, but I couldn't regret having my kits. They are fine kits, and I will always be proud of them."

Brambleclaw: "Why?"

Squirrelflight: "I had to! She's my sister!"

Brambleclaw: "And you couldn't trust me? You couldn't trust me. Don't you think I would have helped you, if you had told me the truth? But it's too late now."

Squirrelflight: "Brambleclaw..." - After Hollyleaf, Lionblaze, and Jayfeather's true parents are revealed Sunrise, pages 306-307

Squirrelflight: "Brambleclaw, I'm sorry. You have to understand that I never intended to hurt you. I loved you, and was proud to raise these kits with you. You were a wonderful father."

Brambleclaw: "But I wasn't their father!"

Squirrelflight: "Yes, you were! Don't throw away everything just because your angry with me!" - Squirrelflight confronting and apologizing about her lies over Hollyleaf, Lionblaze, and Jayfeather The Last Hope, page 201

"I wish that the stars hadn't sent me this message to pass on. But it is my duty. Squirrelflight, you will never have kits of your own." - Yellowfang lying to Squirrelflight Leafpool's Wish, chapter 6
