Named after

Various characters in the Warriors series are named after a specific individual, usually after a close friend, family, or dead cat. There are also cases of naming a cat after an event that occurred beforehand, or a physical feature they possess. Reasons vary between each named individual. (Inspired by this article, feel free to add ones I missed.)
