I only made Shakingleaf because I thought it would be funny to have a nervous little chihuahua running around a Warriors clan camp. He’s a medicine cat because he’d be completely ineffective as a warrior and he’s called Shakingleaf because he’s a jittery little neurotic mess. I’d imagine that it’d be a running gag that nobody knows he’s a dog and they always refer to him as a weird looking cat that screams like Satan.
I feel like his “kittypet” name would be something really weird like Maximilian or Capocollo.
