MC receives prophecy instead of med cat
MC's parents have a perfectly loving relationship with no problems

First chapter starts with MC opening its eyes
MC mews, 'why am I so useless?' and some cat says, 'no you're not' and suddenly MC is all better again
MC is either loved by everybody or hated by everybody
MC has a depressing or traumatic past (why can't they be just a normal cat born from two random Clan warriors?)
MC's and heroes die noble deaths (ex. saving a life, stopping villain) while background characters die from really stupid simple things (ex. infected wound, falling tree branch, a random small battle even (even though cats aren't supposed to kill))

Drama only starts after MC is born
Villain and MC are always completely different and disagree about absolutely everything

MC's Clanmates always go to StarClan, except that one cat who hated them for no reason
MC's are always described like "beautiful silver tabby with sparkling blue eyes and white paws and chest and muzzle and they're really pretty" in Allegiances but others are just like "brown coat and brown eyes"
Entire Clan is just complete idiots with no clue about anything except for the MC
Kitting is always fine and perfect except when it's the MC's sibling or kits
That cat who hates the MC for a really stupid reason or just no reason at all
MC always has a heartbreak
MC is never the villain
