I have a ton of TOPH theory’s (Press space or arrow keys to see the slides.) 1: Shiningstream was turned into bugs by Saffronpaw but in chapter 112, he was a cat again. Also, at the end of chapter 83, it shows a cat with a white leg destroying one of his bugs, and we only know one cat who has cream colored fur… McMuffins. 2 In chapter 22 (I think) It shows Houndflight as a puppy in a barn. In one of the scenes, it shows a cat walking in with mice in his mouth and the same colored fur as Dave. 3 Also in that chapter, the two other cats looked like Softfur and Boulderpatch, who has the same colored fur as Dave… does this mean that Dave is Boulderpatch and Dovestrike’s father? Plus it showed a fire and Dovepaw said that her father died… but he didn’t 4 When Houndpaw was at the gathering, Boulder recognized him from the barn and the reason why Dovestrike didn’t recognize him was because she was too young. 5 This one is probably not correct. Mudstar is Clay from WOF or at least based on him. This is crazy, I know, but it makes a little bit of sense. Clay was big, hungry, and not that smart, like Mudstar. 6 This one is easy. Nightfang has amnesia. He doesn’t even know that he has a wife and kits. 7 In one of the dark forests chapters, Volesnout asked if a cat named Bearshine was being held prisoner, which was probably his second mate. Laurelwing didn’t answer, and when she showed her face, she was crying. Also, there is a weird spider in the Shadowclan woods, and when Softfur had one on her fur, her eyes glowed like Saffronpaws when he was holding the butterfly. My theory is that Laurelwing somehow turned Bearshine into spiders as revenge.
Some of these explain a lot. Credit to @9rainbowtails and TOPH and TOPH theories creators.
