Prompt 1 Response: He's had this bandanna for as long as he could remember. He was just a young kit in a world of two legs. He was half starved and his paw was injured by fellow cats who were pets to the two legs. It was raining hard that night. He limped slowly into a nearby alley seeking food from whatever the two legs threw out. If he was lucky, it would be something fresh. But mostly, it half-rotted food or something that smelled horrible. He only made it half-way to the stack of boxes before collapsing on the cold wet concrete. The last thing he saw before passing out was a blurred figure hovering over him. When he awoke. The small kitten was covered with what looked like something the two legs wore. But, it didn't smell like a two leg. When he looked around, he spotted an old brown tabby with dark brown streaks across his fur. There where scratched across his left eye. He told the kit of his story. The bandanna was his since he was the kit's age. The old tabby looked after the young kit over time. Showing him good places to get food, how to avoid the troublesome pets and some of the best spots to bask in the sun. One day when the kit returned home, he found the old tabby laying on his bed. His breathing was heavy and raspy. "I want you to have this young one," he said as he pulled out the bandanna from beneath him. "It was a big part of my life. Like you where" The kit shook his head. But before he could speak, the old tabby grew quiet. The kit sat there until the sun sunk over the large, tall two legs homes. It was with a heavy heart, that he left the alley that he called home. The bandanna wrapped around his neck.
Prompt 2 Response: He wandered the two legs world for a long time until reaching a tall metal fence that the two legs used to keep out the wildlife. It didn't take him long to find a small hole that other cats used to enter and leave the two legs world. Once outside the fence, he turned around. Taking one last glance at what he once called his home before jumping through a large bush. This is the wild the tabby told him stories of. It was much greener than he has expected. And less noisy. It was easier for him to breath. "So this is the wild," He said looking around. "Well, I might as well get going. There's a great big world for me to explore."

Prompt 1 Response: His mother had been a kittypet all her life. Loved and cherished by her old and withered twoleg, his mother wore this bandanna proudly as a symbol of loyalty to her. But one day when she was out sunning herself on the fence, she met a handsome tom. She ran off with him, went exploring and tasted mouse for the first time in her life. It was a grand adventure, but the kittypet missed her home, her twoleg. So she returned. But when she pawed at the door and cried for her sweet old twoleg, no one came to open the flap. She lay outside the door for days, until at last she turned her back on the house she grew up in and went to find the tom who was the father to the kits she carried.
Moons passed, and he was no where to be found. His mother gave birth two three kits, alone. She did her best to care for them, but they were weak. She bolstered them with stories of their father and of her twoleg home. But it didn't help, he was the only one to survive. One day, he isn't sure if it was because she got lost, or hurt, or if his mother finally just gave up, but one day, she shook off her bandanna and left it over him. She left and never came back.
Prompt 2 Response: As soon as the stubby-tailed tom realized his mother wasn't going to return, he took the bandanna and kept moving. Remembering the doubt his mother felt, that she wasn't strong enough for the wild and that was why his father had left her, the young tom was determined to prove him wrong. What his mother had been, he could not control. But he knew deep inside that he was a wild cat, built strong and durable. One day, he'd find his mange-ridden father and show him just how strong he was, despite his kittypet roots.

Prompt 1 Response: Applefreckle was not always a wild cat -- he was once a kittypet, raised by a kittypet mother. Previously bestowed a name only a kittypet would have, he belonged to a family who often bred bob-tailed cats for sale. His mother, however, was a curious sort and found herself outdoors when the youngest two-leg left the door open too long. This adventure lasted a week and before her two-legs found her she had spent a considerable amount of that week with a handsome longer she had grown fond of.
It was safe to say when her two-legs discovered she was pregnant with an unknown cat they were fairly disappointed. He was born in a litter of five and immediately given to a shelter once he was old enough. Adopted to a loving two-leg family, he was pampered and dressed fairly often in scarves and sometimes a suffocating scarf or two. Despite his hatred for being dressed, Applefreckle enjoyed the presence of their youngest two-leg, who often let him play outside with her.
Unfortunately, his wild roots were deep seated and hard to take away. He began to find it harder and harder to let them bring him back inside the box they called home. His only reasoning for allowing them to coax him back inside was his affection for the female child. She was dear to him, although he couldn't pinpoint why.
Sadly, the family suffered a grand loss when the little girl was diagnosed with a terminal illness. When she passed he found no reason to stay anymore. So, one day, he just left, leaping out the open window with himself and the red bandanna she had last put on him.
Prompt 2 Response: Going by Red during his time as a loner, he didn't really know why he felt the pull to the wild, but he did. It was a hard transition, regardless of his natural aptitude for the outdoors. He had to learn how to hunt and survive on his own. All he knew, however, was that he had no place being in a two-leg den. He wanted whatever it was that had drawn his mother countless times.
When he discovers a clan for the first time then it'll make sense -- he was born to be a clan cat. It'll fit. The wild always called to him, but there was a loneliness in being.... well, alone. He wanted a family. Someone to fight for. What pushed him to the wilderness was a need to find a family that fit him. A family not two-legs and not a sad cat inside a box.

Prompt 1 Response: Mother had a very rough start in her early adulthood, already with kits and bound to what seemed to be like an endless maze of enormous, smoking two-leg nests (factories) to this little family. Frost was what she called herself, and she was quite starved but nonetheless attempting to move her two little kits, Sunny and Hare, to a safer environment. Unfortunately for Hare, she fell quite ill very quickly, but not without a very devoted brother to urge her on to keep up with mother. The very next thing Sunny could recall was when he and Hare were a moon old, and a terrible storm where he'd lost sight of Frost and Hare. The rain drowned out his tiny voice as he tried to mewl endlessly for them to find him. What had found him instead was what he would come to know as a very friendly, tall she-two-leg who would take him home into her nest.
This two-leg creature kept calling him "Cinnamon", which was definitely not his name, but he came to accept it as a secondary name during his time in her nest. This place was also overwhelming with scents of sweet ingredients. His place to sleep was a small nest with what he would learn to be called a "bandanna" laid on top of it, to which he would sometimes curl up with and act like he was cuddling his sister, Hare. After a quarter of a moon, Sunny finally came up with a name for his two-leg: Milk. He named her as such because she'd provide him with milk, the fur on her head was the color of milk, and she seemed to like adding milk to her food. When he was big enough, Milk had decided that it was so darn cute of Sunny to like the red bandanna so much that she would fit it on him. This made Sunny, or rather Cinnamon at the time, become a sort of "mascot" for her at-home bakery and the color red was perfect for her specialization in red velvet. At first, Sunny did not enjoy the bandanna inhibiting his movements as it was just a little too big for him at the time, but he quickly accepted it when he realized that it brought him more attention and treats.
Prompt 2 Response: At about eighteen moons old, Sunny had gotten quite used to living with Milk. Two-legs visited their nest more and more often these last few moons and Milk seemed quite happy. This was also the time when the weather was suited well enough for Sunny to sit outside of the nest and greet two-legs at the nest's entrance. Late one Sundown, a stray dog had wandered into Milk and Sunny's territory. This dog was about twice the size of Sunny, but that didn't stop him from defending his territory. The mangy dog wasn't intimidated until Sunny had been too fast on the mutt and scratched him twice on the face. Milk heard this scuffle and immediately shooed the dog away. The following night, just as Sunny was strolling along the sidewalk and peering around the corner to hopefully meet a she-cat he had caught sights of a few days ago, he was instead met with the same stray who didn't hesitate to chase him.
No matter what Sunny attempted to do to get the dog to trip or get further away from him, it kept coming back. He'd tried arguing that he was off his territory and to quit it, but the dog seemed more keen on the chase and capturing a prey item instead. Unfortunately for Sunny, after what seemed a forever's worth of running out of the two-legplace and deep into the woods, he slowed down and caught his breath. Now he was in a totally unknown world to him, but he couldn't go back now, not with that starved stray likely waiting for him to come back. Surely he could stay a night or two in this forest and then come back, right?
The first night away from Milk's nest it poured rain. It washed away all the scent that lead back home. He was confident he knew where to go to find his way back, but he would have to wait in this make-shift den under these tree roots until the weather cleared up. It didn't stop raining until the following day's Sunhigh. His mission was to find his way back to Milk, and after a period of moons had instead managed to find himself deeper into the forests and farther away from home. Now, after many moons of having been lost, his new mission is to hopefully find a new home.
