I think it's because if the cats were a realistic size, then the Kits wuld just be a little bit smaller than a fully grown cat due to FH's sizes. I usually keep my cat characters small or realistic in terms of how big a toyger/tabby American shorthair cat cross would be, but then I get stick for "your apprentice size! not warrior size grow a bit!" and I'm usually "I'm being realistic- your the size of a dog!"
Sometimes I hate being realistically picky with my RPs and RP characters because I usually get shouted and or I can actually hear their sighs of annoyance.
But that is what I put it too- FH size restiction. They need to be bigger in order for the size of their kits to be kit-sized rather than almost the same size as them.

You got a good point there, Gold.

This is what I do with most of my Warrior Cats characters. This is the size I set one of my main WC characters, and he still comes up smaller than some that I've met. Even though some of the others in the clan are a bit bigger than he his, I refuse to make him any bigger.

My adult cats are usually a little shorter than that xD averageing where your weight bar would be, though length would be panned out as far as it could go.
I don't really get why this is such a big deal. They create them big because it's a cat roleplay. And it's a cat roleplay mushed with Feralheart sizes.See, I totally understand that kind of thing.
I really don't think that it would be fun to run around as a very tiny character, in a very large map, with a lot of other tiny characters. Think of it as. "Realistically and ICly we are not as big as you. But due to FH sizes we were forced to be this size" kind of thing.
They wouldn't be as big as a lion realistically.
And they wouldn't be as big as a dog, wolf, or wild cat realistically.

As I said before, though, I think it's different when these giant warrior's decide to challenge/fight, or simply roleplay with real 'big cats', that actually should be large like that.
It isn't all that big of a deal, though, when they're just roleplaying together, as one group of warriors, and no other animals are taken into account.
Proportion issues. ;P
I understand the whole proportion thing but whenever I've made cat characters I like to make them the normal size of a cat. I don't see why people are complaining so much that if they use the "normal" size then they are the size of a kit and there's no differentiation between them. Not true. I've RPed a few times with small sized cats that have kits smaller than them but are all still at normal size. I also prefer smaller cats since it makes the environment larger and things that could normally not be used as dens before can be at the smaller size. Example like the scattered rocks around Fluorite. If you're on a big lion sized cat they are just rocks... If you're on a normal sized cat you can pretend they are dens.
Like White says what really annoys me is when these lion sized cats use their size as an excuse to attack creatures that would normally be larger than them... -_- It happens to me all the time. I sometimes walk around as my lion version of Lord Suragaha and some lion sized warrior cat kills me. Other times I've seen wolves in a pack get attacked and killed by a single lion sized warrior cat... It's ridiculous. I mean can you imagine a cat killing a lion or a wolf?
Now I do agree with you there. I was walking around on my runt warrior cat and I came across these HUGE tom-cats attacking 2 foxes. Of course, being the softy that I am, helped the foxes. Eventually I realized that they were just using their size as an excuse to attack and kill whole packs. So I came up to the supposed "leader" and told him that his sizes were unrealistic and that, in real life, a good-sized fox could kill a group of 3 to 4 cats. So he finally jumped back to reality and realized he looked like a lion in a cat suit.I don't really get why this is such a big deal. They create them big because it's a cat roleplay.

Taking in the fact that I am making a map that has A Warrior Tribe, Wolf Pack, Fox woods, and Badgers.
Eventually I went to recruit and I saw this gigantic she-cat bigger than a male. It was awkward and I told her that I would accept semi-large cats but not HER size. She changed it to the size of a KIT. I freaked out and she said that she wanted to be smaller than me and my character was already that size of a NEW apprentice.
In some terms it could be realistic. If they were in a private map where no other creature could come in, that'd be perfectly normal. Poke was a huge cat because he had a growth disease. It was sad because, eventually, that cat would die unless treated. Tigerclaw was an unusually large cat if you take that in mind. It could just be because he worked for a good amount of time as an apprentice, warrior, and kit. Or it could be just because he was an unusually big-boned cat.
very good point here.
like i said, if i make a big cat for RP size perpoise and we run into a fox, i RP as if i was smaller even if im bigger than them.
Yes i learn how to change word color ^.^
I get kind of annoyed by that. Once I was on my doberman character and I came across a group of warrior cats, all much bigger than me. Cats are not bigger than dobermans. Then the cats all started attacking me and powerplaying, so I just left.
Also, can people not make their warrior cats look like cats? They have a option called "Cat Ears" for a reason you know (Neko Ears works too), but everyone uses "normal ears". They also leave the muzzle way to long for a domestic cat, and I've seen many warrior cats with lion tails. I mean really, most warrior cats I see just look like bizarrely colored big cats; but it's really it's pretty easy to make a domestic cat. I think people just get lazy so they leave the default and just change the color and mane and such.
Warrior Cat RPs That Follow The Storyline of Warriors:LOLZ , just i dont get the firestar one
Firestar = License to godmod
Tigerstar = License to be the size of an airplane
Leopardstar = License to yell at anyone whos not RiverClan to "Get out of the water, you can't swim!"
Blackstar = License to just be a huge thorn in your side

I've seen many warrior cat characters like this. All the size of lions and stuff. And I've seen the opposite swell. Where there are warrior characters that are the size of kits. (lol... wut?)
But just to clear things up, Maine coons are very big. I believe they are the second biggest domesticated cat breed in the world. So of corse they are going to often be bigger then regular cats. Just not ridiculously huge. I have made Maine coon characters in the past but I kept them to size and add all the necessary fur, but most of the time people claim to be Maine coons although look nothing like one.
(If you would like to see a Maine coon, look in my signature. Thats my little kitty, who is a female Maine coon.)
Edit: Comparison of a regular cat(Okay, maybe a young cat) to a Maine coon

^ I lol'd. xD
That's interesting, though. Especially with the lynx video; I knew they could make some shrill noise, but that's really interesting. ._.
Oddly cute, though. It's the ears, man.

I make my cats large to suite the size of the meshs, not the real size of the actual animal. So if the trees are so large, my cat is going to match the size so the cat would look more realistic size against the size of the trees.This is actually a really good point.
According to my logic, I think that cats in Feral Heart should be the smallest size
Why?
Because: The cubs on Feral Heart are usually the smallest size, and domestic cats are usually the size of a cub, so that is why my cat character is the smallest size...
