She wanted him to be a warrior (fire &ice).
Firestar's kittypet sister, Princess, had a litter of kits. She gave her first-born kit to Firestar to take to ThunderClan. Cloudtail was that little white kit.
Brindleface fostered Cloudtail because his mother, Princess, was a kittypet (house cat) and couldn't care for him in the Clan environment. Cloudtail's father, Firestar, was a warrior of ThunderClan, so Brindleface wanted to ensure that he grew up within the Clan and followed in his father's footsteps.
I wonder who Cloudtail's father is? Is he a rogue? A loner? A Clan cat? Anouther kittypet? Just say who he thinks he is, and if you must post a spoiler, warn people about it. Spoiler: his father is Darkstripe
Firestar, Cloudtail, Daisy, Hazeltail, Berrynose, Mouswisker
Cloudtail becomes the leader of ThunderClan in the book "The Last Hope," which is the final book of the Omen of the Stars series in the Warriors series by Erin Hunter.
Fireheart's sister Princess, offered one of her kits to him so that it could train to become a warrior. Fireheart ended up bringing Cloudkit (Later Cloudtail) into the clan :)
There wouldn't be a Whitewing which means no Dovekit of Ivykit to be the third prophecised cat.

There is no direct evidence to suggest that Cloudtail dislikes Thornclaw. While Cloudtail may have disagreed or clashed with other cats in ThunderClan at times, there is no specific indication of animosity between Cloudtail and Thornclaw. Their interactions may have been neutral or varied depending on the situation.
Cloudtail'mother is Princess, Firestar's sister, but his farther is unknown in the book.
The only one Erin mentions is Princess, who's son is Cloudtail
Firestar, Cloudtail, Jayfeather, and Lionblaze.
