I was bored. Characters are listed by alliance order, then by age for births during the book. Books are listed chronologically.
* means possible but unlikely/assorted discrepancies.
** means minor offense, such as blue eyes on a non-white cat.
*** means major offense, such as unrealistic pelt colors.
**** indicates that this cat has broken way too many rules.

Dawn of the Clans
The Sun Trail
**Clear Sky - Gray cat with blue eyes, which are very, very unlikely unless the cat has significant white on them.
**Quiet Rain - Dark grey cat with blue eyes.
**Jagged Peak - Yet another grey cat with blue eyes...
**Jackdaw's Cry - A black cat with blue eyes.
**Rainswept Flower - Brown tabby with blue eyes...Warriors has more of these than I thought.
**Sharp Hail - Dark grey cat with blue eyes.
***The Stranger - He doesn't have a name, but he's still brown and gray.
Pre-Main Series
Cloudstar's Journey
SkyClan
**Cloudstar - Grey and white cat with blue eyes. Not sure if the pattern is realistic either.
**Fawnstep - Brown tabby with blue eyes.
***Weaselwhisker - Described as a brown and ginger tabby, which is a tortoiseshell tabby. It isn't mentioned if he has kits, though, so he's sort of forgiven. It's still pretty unlikely that a tortoiseshell tom would be able to survive in the wild, since I've heard that they tend to be weaker than normal cats.
**Rainleap - Silver tabby with blue eyes.
***Tansypaw - Her mother is brown and her father is ginger, so she should be a tortie, but she's cream. Also, neither of her parents have the dilution gene showing and she does, but it's possible that her parents carried it. Hard to tell with first generation cats.
***Mintpaw - Same as above, but she's gray.
***Webkit + Hatchkit - Both have a ginger mother and thus should be ginger/cream, but both are gray toms.
***Mistlekit - Has to be a ginger or tortoiseshell kit, since her mother is ginger and her father must be also ginger, because her sister is ginger, but she is a silver tabby. Silver tabbies are modified brown tabbies.
***Hawksnow - A brown tabby speckled with white, which isn't how white spotting works.
ThunderClan
****Seedpelt - Gray tabby she-cat with blue eyes. Curiously enough, she is also seen in Mapleshade's Vengeance, but this time is described as a brown and white tom. She was ThunderClan's deputy at the time of Cloudstar's Journey, and even before it during a battle described in Battles of the Clans, but is a warrior in Mapleshade's Vengeance under a different leader. So, Seedpelt is a confirmed shapeshifter and apparently got demoted from deputy for some reason. Four stars for that, Erin Hunter. And yes, Vicky confirmed that they're the same cat.
RiverClan
**Sloefur - Black cat with blue eyes.
Mapleshade's Vengeance
ThunderClan
**Ravenwing - Black cat with blue eyes.
***Frecklewish - Her father is brown, so she should be brown/grey/black, since Birchface's pelt tells us that her mother is probably a brown tabby, but she is golden.
**Patchkit - Apparently a ginger and white tom with a "little bit of black" on him. That's still a tortoiseshell, no matter how little. Of course, he drowned when he was two moons old, so no idea if he was fertile or anything.
RiverClan
*Eeltail - Described as a black and gray tabby. I'm not sure if they're trying to describe a silver tabby or not.
**Perchpaw - Gray tom with blue eyes.
Goosefeather's Curse
ThunderClan
***Daisytoe + Flashnose - I don't care what your parents look like. A gray (and white) she-cat and a ginger she-cat can't be sisters because genetics.
**Littlestep - Black and white cat with blue eyes.
***Rainfur - I don't think it's possible for a cat to have white speckles.
**Rooktail - Black cat with blue eyes.
***Poppydawn - Can't be ginger because her mother was brown.
***Moonflower - Can't be a tabby since her parents are both solid colors.
**Goosefeather - Gray cat with blue eyes.
**Stormtail - Dark gray cat with blue eyes.
**Rockfall - Silvery-gray tom with blue eyes.
WindClan
**Heatherstar - Lilac cat with blue eyes.
***Dawnstripe - That's not how tabbies work. A cream tabby would have darker stripes, not lighter stripes.
Bluestar's Prophecy, Crookedstar's Promise, Tallstar's Revenge, and Yellowfang's Secret
ThunderClan
***Weedwhisker - Another white flecked cat. And I can't say his name without laughing. I'm so mature guys.
***Tawnyspots - His mother was ginger, so he should also be ginger, but he's gray.
***Thurshpelt - Seems to be caramel, which is a modification of the dilution gene for black/brown cats, but his mother is ginger, so he should also be ginger.
*Dappletail - Not really a valid complaint, but her eyes are purple on the wiki. Her eye color is never revealed in the books, so at least it's not a canonical error. There's also some cats with unspecified eye color that have blue eyes in their wiki image. She was also mentioned to be infertile in Bluestar's Prophecy, but in A Dangerous Path she mentions that she had a deaf kit in her first litter.
***Robinwing - Apparently couldn't decide if she wanted to be a tortoiseshell or not, so she just has a ginger patch on her otherwise brown fur, which isn't possible.
*Patchpelt - Should probably be a tabby, since both his parents are, but he's black and white.
*Leopardfoot - Should also be a tabby.
**Bluestar - Gray cat with blue eyes.
**Snowfur - White cat with non-white parents and grandparents, so it's highly unlikely she'd end up white. Also has blue eyes, which is okay, but the fact that out of all the white cats with blue eyes in the series, only one ends up deaf is rather unlikely.
***Sweetpaw - Is about half white despite the fact that neither of her parents have white on them. Should probably have tabby as well, unless both her parents carried the non-agouti gene. Weird fact is that she and her littermates, Thistleclaw and Rosetail, were born after their mother was pregnant for over four moons, though cats are never pregnant for more than 72 days.
***Thistleclaw - Should be ginger since his mother is.
***Lionheart - I'm not actually sure what color he is, but I'm assuming he's diluted ginger, since I doubt the golden gene is prevalent in the wild. Anyway, he should be gray/brown, since his mother is. Also, I doubt he'd be a longhair, since both his parents are shorthairs.
***Goldenflower - Same as Lionheart.
***Spottedleaf - She genetically can't be a tortoiseshell because both her parents were brown. Unless Swiftbreeze was actually ginger, but we'll never know since the book just describes her as a "tabby and white." The wiki's picture has her as a brown tabby, but her mother was a ginger tabby so...oh, forget it.
It's still wrong because she has white speckles, and should probably be a tabby as well.
****Redtail - It's really, really unlikely that a tom would be a tortoiseshell, let alone a fertile one, but he's Sandstorm's dad.
****Willowpelt - Gray cat with blue eyes. Amusingly, the wiki calls them "unusual." I don't know if they're talking about the color or the fact she has blue eyes or whatever else. She probably shouldn't be dilute either, and should be a tabby as well, unless her parents have a ton of recessive genes. And if Swiftbreeze is ginger, which is likely considering her mother was, then Willowpelt can't be black/gray/brown at all. I'm simply appalled by this cat's genetics. Realistically, she should be a tabby tortoiseshell, or at least a tortoiseshell/dilute tortoiseshell. She also has a kit with her own older brother, Patchpelt...
***Tigerstar - Pelt color's okay, but he genetically can't be a tabby, since neither of his parents were.
*Mistkit - Probably shouldn't be gray, since neither her parents or grandparents are. It's possible, though.
*Whitekit - Snowfur is white, which helps the odds, but neither Thistleclaw nor his parents have any white on them. Still, it's possible. I'd give him half a star if I could.
*Frostfur - Probably shouldn't be white since neither of her parents were, but it's possible, considering Fuzzypelt and Robinwing have no family history. Blue eyes aren't good either.
*Brindleface - Neither of her parents were dilute or tabbies, and she is, but her parents have no family history, so it's possible.
ShadowClan
***Mudclaw - He's a gray cat with brown legs, apparently. That doesn't work.
***Nettlespot - I don't think a white cat can have ginger flecks. The wiki picture doesn't look right, anyhow. Correct me if I'm wrong.
**Deerleap - I highly doubt a cat would have white spotting restricted to just its legs.
***Amberleaf - Another cat with brown legs, this time she's ginger.
****Blizzardwing - I'm not sure how you can be a "mottled white tom" That's a really confusing description. If you're trying to describe a really pale dilute tortoiseshell with white, then you get extra points off.
**Ashheart - Oh joy, another gray cat with blue eyes. I have no idea why this is more prevalent in gray cats, rather than brown, black, ginger, and cream cats.
***Silverflame - Orange and grey don't mix, even if it's dark grey. You either have grey and cream or orange and black.
***Scorchwind - Two brown parents don't make a ginger cat, ever.
***Yellowfang - Two ginger parents don't make a dark grey cat, ever.
***Nutwhisker - Or a brown cat.
****Rowanberry - Or a cream and brown cat, which isn't genetically possible anyway.
***Foxheart - Two brown parents don't make a ginger cat...
***Tangleburr - Another gray and brown cat.
***Blackstar - Cats don't have a white pelt and black paws. That's just not how white spotting works.
**Runningnose - I highly doubt he'd have any white on him, since only one of his parents has white spotting, and he could use some tabby stripes.
**Stumpytail - Can't have tabby stripes, since both his parents are solid.
*Cloudpelt - I think it'd be possible for him to be white, but he does have blue eyes. Still a minor offense.
*Badgerfang - I don't think a cat can have white spotting like that, but it's not terrible.
***Dawncloud - I'm not sure what color Blizzardwing is supposed to be, but her mother's a brown tabby so she can't be ginger.
***Marigoldkit - Both her parents are ginger, so she can't be tortoiseshell.
***Mintkit - Both his parents are ginger, so he can't be gray.
RiverClan
***Brambleberry - Looks like a dalmatian. That's not possible. She also has blue eyes, but that's acceptable considering she has a good amount of white, but not complete white.
***Whitefang - White cat with a brown tail and paws - the tail's fine, but not the paws.
**Fallowtail - Brown cat with blue eyes.
***Beetlenose - Both his parents are gray, so he can't be black.
***Petaldust - Both her parents are gray, so she can't be a dilute tortoiseshell, let alone a regular one.
***Crookedstar - Both his parents are gray, so he can't be brown. Tabby is unlikely as well.
***Oakheart - Both his parents are gray, so he can't be brown. Appears to be chocolate as well, which is rather unlikely, especially considering Crookedstar also appears to be a chocolate tabby.
*Graypool - She's gray. Both parents are brown, but they have no known grandparents so it's possible, but unlikely.
*Willowbreeze - Same as above.
***Loudbelly - Mother is ginger, so he should be ginger as well, not brown.
***Reedtail - Same as above, but he's gray. His tail looks pretty strange too.
***Sedgecreek - Parents are ginger and brown, so she should be a tortoiseshell, not brown.
***Leopardstar - Parents are ginger and brown, so she should be tortoiseshell, not golden.
***Dawnbright - Not sure what color her mother is, since the wiki describes her as "white with tabby patches," but if her mother is brown/grey she should also be brown/grey, and if her mother is ginger she should be a tortoiseshell, not ginger.
**Stonefur - Gray cat with blue eyes.
**Mistystar - Gray cat with blue eyes.
***Mosskit - Gray and white cat with blue eyes. Also shouldn't have white, since neither of her parents had any white spotting.
**Silverstream - Silver tabby with blue eyes. I doubt she'd have the silver gene, considering none of her ancestors had it visible.
WindClan
***Hawkheart - Gray and brown tom, which isn't possible.
*Ryestalk - Neither of her parents are dilute like her, but they're first generation cats, so it's possible.
***Finchkit - Should be brown or a tortoiseshell since her mother is black and white and her father is ginger, but she's ginger.
***Shrewclaw - Should be ginger since both his parents are, but he's brown.
***Barkface - Same as above. Also, really impressed by how long he lived. 12.75 years according to the wiki, which is probably the longest recorded in the series. Mistystar is catching up though, at 12.6 years. Firestar only lived 8 years, and Bluestar lived 6.5. Average lifespan for a feral cat is probably a generous 5-7 years for clan cats.. Tell me if you find any other cats that are eleven years or older. Maybe I'll make a leaderboard.
***Sorrelpaw - Another grey and brown cat.
**Bristlekit - Should have white spotting, since both parents have it.
**Wrenflight - Same as above.
Loners
***Reena - Ginger she-cat, despite her parents being black and brown.
Original Series
Into the Wild
**Darkstripe - Gray tabbies don't have black stripes unless they're silver tabbies. Darkstripe is clearly listed as a dark grey tabby. I would say that he could possibly be a very dark brown tabby that looks dark grey, but his parents are both diluted so that's impossible.
***Longtail - He can't be a tabby since neither of his parents were.
***Dustpelt - Same as Longtail.
***Greystripe - I'm not sure why he has a dark grey stripe running down his back. Probably shouldn't be longhaired either. And his parents are siblings...I don't think being inbred is good for your health. His family line doesn't have any defects though.
**Ravenpaw - White spotting, despite his parents not having any.
**Sandstorm - I honestly don't know what to do with her, since her father's a tortoiseshell. But she can't be ginger because her mother isn't ginger or a tortoiseshell.
***Firestar - Should be a brown tabby, since his mother was and toms get their coat color from their mother.
***Brightheart - Frostfur's true color is probably black, so she can't be ginger. She should be a tortoiseshell.
***Cinderpelt - Should also be a tortoiseshell, but she's dark gray. Also has blue eyes.
*Thornclaw - Unsure whether golden-brown is meant to indicate a brown tabby or a diluted ginger tabby. The latter isn't possible with his parents.
**Ashfur - Grey tabby with blue eyes.
***Swiftpaw - Can't be black and white since his mother is diluted ginger.
Fire and Ice
ThunderClan
*Cloudtail - Pure white cat with blue eyes, which brings a high chance for deafness.

***Princess - Should be a tortoiseshell, since her mother is brown and her father is ginger.

***Bramblestar - Should be ginger, like his mother.
