Apricot

Apricot is a pretty, pale ginger, almost tannish-colored she-cat with amber-brown eyes and very faint stripes.

Personality
Apricot is a gentle and kind she cat with a very protective mindset. She tends to be very protective of her kits and strives to do her best to take care of them. She will often hide her kits from strangers and keep up the charade that she's alone until she deems the cat trustworthy enough to be around her kits. She's very clever and comes up with creative ways to keep her kits hidden and entertained. She's resourceful and crafty working to outsmart any dangers that she can't beat off. Once she warms up to a cat she's a rather kind and happy cat who can be quite talkative and attentive. She's loyal, brave and shows this through her tendency to care for her friends. She will mother them, making sure they eat enough and stay healthy. She cares very deeply for her family and friends with the willingness to lay down her life for their safety. She isn't a jumpy cat more tending to deal with situations with a level head. She's very stubborn and it's hard to get her to change her mind. Cats she doesn't know well are greeted with a very confident and slightly hostile cat. She will be cold, gruff and slightly standoffish to those she doesn't know well and she will make sure they don't find or see her den until she thinks it is safe for them to do so. She likes to keep a small circle of close friends around and will prioritize their safety over all others.

History
Apricot was a happy house cat with a family that loved her. She got out one day and met a tom who swept her off her paws. She didn't go home for a long while but after getting caught and ending up in the shelter she was returned to her loving owners. Things were fine for a while until Apricot started acting weird. She was gaining weight, her appetite was changing and a trip to the Vet told her owners she was pregnant. Things changed after that, her owners were at odds about it until finally after a large fight Apricot was put in her crate and dumped on the streets. She didn't understand it at first and waited by her crate for them to come back and get her but soon processed and understood what had happened. It was traumatic for her and she started to associate others finding out she was a mom with rejection. She never found her kit's dad and they came into the world on a stormy night. She never blames them for what happened to her and instead showers them with love and hopes for the best for them and their futures.
