How'd They Get in that Tree?:A simple explanation, is a mouse. Here's the story:
One cold, frosty day Matthew was rummaging through a tipped over trash can, in hopes of food. He had been a stray for only a few days, but it was hard to find anything to eat, especially in the harsh winter. He had tried a few times going up to humans and meowing for food, but it never worked and they ignored him. So now, he has to look through the piles of garbage and attempt to find something editable. He eventually found leftover bones from a fish, but he was too disgusted to even think of the smelly fish that was laid against his snowy white paw. Matthew gave up on that pile of trash and padded away, losing hope every step. A sudden warm smell flooded his nose, and he sprang to his paws, then glanced around the area. Snow was tumbling down from the gloomy gray sky and he noticed he was near a human house. He backed away from the somewhat familiar building but was still focused on the delicious scent he had smelt. Then he saw it. A scrawny mouse was shivering in near a giant, bare tree. Moments later, the brown tabby was creeping up on the furry gray creature. Snow was quietly crunching under his paws, but that was enough for the mouse to notice the other creature and scurried up the tree in a flash, alarmed. Matt sprang up and dashed towards the mouse, climbing up the huge tree. He lost sight of the quick, tiny mouse but he was now up on a thick tree branch. Looking down made him dizzy, so he sat there, waiting. Matthew thought he'd never get down.
He waited and waited for a huge chunk of time. He almost lost all of his hope. But then, a miracle happened. A small group of teens pointed at the trembling, hopeless, weak cat and one of them parted from the group and climbed up the tree. Matthew was frighten when the human reached for him and scooped him up in their warm, safe arms. He started to slowly relax. Matt saw the teenagers exchange a few words before carefully wrapping the tired tabby in a soft, cozy green blanket. The next thing he knew, was he was asleep. But he knew, that he'd be safe.
Personality:Matthew's always, but if you get to know him he's a amazing cat. He loves exploring, and is curious about literally
everything. Give him anything and he'll sniff it for a while until eventually just batting it around with his paw. Matt can act like a kitten at times, always whining about little things, like losing a toy he never even plays with. But that makes him well, him. Matthew gets scared somewhat easily but then gets extremely angry after. So, I guess you shouldn't ever mess with him. He has teeth and claws for a reason, and Matt's not afraid one bit to use them. It's surprising that he's so shy at first, but can turn so angry within moments of time. But Matthew's still amazing of course. He's great, and he always was.
How He Became A Stray:His previous owners had to move, but unfortunately the new home they moved in didn't allow pets, besides fish. The owners had to abandon him, and soon Matthew became a stray. It was tough for him to be a stray, especially in the cold, freezing winter. It was pure luck that he was found. It was more like a "holiday miracle".
