Ok. Remember my theory about how Dovestrike was injured by a dog, fox, or badger? Well, crumple that up and throw it in the trashcan. Because it's pretty obvious now it was a rockslide. For sure. But here's the thing that throws me off. Boulderpatch. "The Accident" project showed a cat covered almost completely in blood. That cat probably would have bled to death, and if it didn't would be scarred very seriously. And if that cat was Boulderpatch, then why was he seen in the ToPh chapters without a scratch? It makes no sense. But, in this project, Boulderpatch did get sacked by some rocks. Strange, right? Well, I have two theories. -Boulderpatch wasn't the cat that got caught in the rockslide. You're probably thinking: "But Runner, it clearly showed him in the frame with blood surrounded by rocks!" Well, I'm not sure how to answer that. But possibly, it wasn't Boulderpatch. Or this is where it gets confusing: It was all fake. Dovepaw may have lost her memory of what happened to her. And maybe she made up the Boulderpatch part. However, if that was true, then why does she not seem surprised that Boulderpatch is fine? Because she was very young when the rockslide happened. She probably wouldn't have known much about death or serious injury. For all she knew, Boulderpatch could have easily survived almost being buried alive. Or possibly she knew that Boulderpatch wasn't in the rockslide at all, but continues to keep it quiet. Possibly, it was another sibling that Boulder and Dove had that happened to look exactly like Boulder(ideas from @WingsoffireLOVER18). -Boulderpatch somehow recovered. Boulderpatch is a fluffy cat. His fur may have covered up any scars that he got in the rockslide. If this is the case, he was lucky not to have gotten an injury like Cinderpelt's limp, Longtail's blindness, or something similar. This was a short theory compared to theory #1
