I understand why people think the "faded dark forest cats become part of nature" thing is weird, but I actually think it's kind of sweet
Part of Tigerstar was the little baby that Leopardfoot loved, part of Ashfur was the kitten wandering after his siblings, Part of Antpelt was who Swallowtail knew... Even if all of their evilness is destroyed, there's still some teeny bit of goodness, and that's what's returning to the earth
And honestly, that's more poetic than anything else with StarClan or The Place of No Stars
