i am also thinking it depends on how the leader was in his life, because if you remember, Tigerstar lost all nine lives at the same time, he did not heal again after he lost his first life.
I believe it all depends on what Starclan feels is right for the cat. Bluestar aws starting to go senile, so Starclan might have decided that leaving her weaker after greencough was the best thing to possibly make her die sooner so a younger and more healthy cat could take over the clan, and she hadn't done any grievous crimes in her life to warrant her losing more then one life at that time. Tigerstar might have lost all his lives at one time as punishment for all the lives he had taken and ruined in his quest for power, and that might have been the only reason Starclan gave him the nine lives to begin with, so that he would be taught a lesson in losing them all (though it did not seem to work).
but that is just my thoughts on it.
