Why do you think Erin Hunter made Warriors?

I think similar to Foxcraft that it could have been made like this: Maybe one day sh was walking down the road and saw a cat, cats are pretty mysterious and interesting beings, when Inbali Iserles made foxcraft it was made because she walked her dog and saw a fox, she talks about how Foxes are mysterious and seem to have some kind of power... sorry if this doesn't help. It's just foxcraft and warrior cats were similar books and the two authors might have been in the group.

Well, there's more than one Erin, actually. That was random, but I think it was because of Vicky, the writer's, cats. If you read the dedication in the first book, u no what I mean.
