I wish there was a stutterer in Warrior Cats No but imagine. It’s seen that communication is VITAL and CRUCIAL to clan life. Imagine having a stutter, or some other speech impediment or even being mute? That would affect them SO bad. Like the kits would bully them and the warriors would pity them, or they think they can’t be a warrior because they aren’t able to get able to give proper warrior commands, they won’t be able to call for danger properly or give speeches or suggestions, etc. Cats would constantly define them and cats from other clans would give them weird looks or speak badly about them, even leaders. And it can be seen as a mystery or something. And being leader or deputy would be TOUGH! Clan meetings would be embarrassing, ceremonies not that understandable, leaders would doubt you or comment rude snarks, etc. And not even being a medicine cat wouldn’t be easy either because communication is REALLY needed too. Like what if a cat is dying and you need something like Yarrow, but you are stuttering too much, unable to communicate properly, the cat would die, intense guilt. I wonder if Starclan would even wanna communicate with them. And I believe it would affect Windclan since they are known for speed, so a stuttering making speech slower or not understandable would make living there hard. But like I don’t want them with a name really about their stutter or other communication disability, like BumbleJaw, QuietMouth, StumbleMeow, you get the picture. I just want a normal one like JayFeather or BriarLight or CinderPelt. But a warrior cats canon with a stutter would be so interesting and cool, as long as they write them right.
