iMelllo has a good point.
I remember making a topic similiar to this "Lion-sized Warrior Cats?" Whenever I make my warrior characters, I make them slightly bigger than the mid-sized option. They are pretty much they same size as my red fox characters. The only "big" character I have is the Jason Voorhees pitbull. Howerver, he is not at full max height, since most pitbulls aren't that big. He is a bit smaller than the max height.
 
The only thing I don't like about the whole oversized thing is when people abuse the big size to win their battles unrealistically. For example, I have met a few warriors who were bigger than my fox or my bobcat character and they would tell me "I'm bigger and more powerful than you! I can kill you with just a swipe of my paw to your head." That's too unrealistic, and that's when I have a problem with the oversizing. However, if I meet a warrior that is bigger than my fox or bobcat character, and they play in terms of being realistic and fair (not using their height as an excuse to win against me) then I'm okay with it.

"The size of characters is too dang big!" ~Edited version of rent-is-too-high guy.
8ut yes, it is too big (only trying to make it funnier ^). Most times I see lion-sized Warriors, and this topic is frequently repeated. In fact, the topic shouldn't be brought up at all! I believe human characters are all the way up on height, lions a bit under, wolves even lower than lions, foxes below wolves, and cats under foxes at about a little over the smallest height, if not that. I made a wolf once, and I was going around minding my own stuff. I came upon a Clan and decided to watch it. There was this cat named "Knifeclaw" (cats don't know what knives are), and he was bigger than my wolf, which was a DIRE WOLF! I was like, "Wtf?!" People. Really. Stop making your characters SOOOO big that they can walk over a human with 6 foot clearance. And what's more, I believe that this happens for a reason! I think that people believe they will win ALLLLLL the battles they RP fight if they are larger than normal. I give a thumbs up to those who are little, and have something like "Little" or "Tiny" in their name, and are smaller than foxes! Huzzah for those people. Anyways, that's my rant.

To be honest I don't really mind this, unless they powerplay about it. Since the heights aren't given in feet or inches or the metric system, Its all relativity here, also, I don't see anything wrong with unrealistic characters unless they ask to join a realistic rp, just my opinion here, since some of my charries and kind of big and over 90% are neons.

As said this game is about being creative including when designing your character so if they have a non-proportionate size it's not really a big issue to me. I do admit it is a bit strange to see a warrior cat the size of an adult male lion but if that is the way they want their character so be it.  :)

I'm not really bothered with the size problem, and like most people have already said, as long as they don't use their size for their own advantage unrealisticly when they claim to be realistic, I just go with the flow. I have noticed that the Warrior Cats are taking some kind of growing serum though, considering the fact I've seen some nearly as tall as Starrk and Starrk's a big dude. However, I don't often interact with many Warrior Cats through Rp however so it's not a major problem in my book. And like many have said before me and this post, you nor anyone else cannot demand for the individuals to change their size if they wish to be unrealistic and all. Though, my advice is try to give them a few pointers in the height and if they try to roleplay unfairly with you, merely ignore them or walk off. Hurr, late with this response.

I've seen house cats bigger than my coyote. I do not agree with it. One time a cat tried one hitting me because I would't leave their "territory"
Back again, let's see how long I stick around this time.
