As a kit, Stormfur’s clan had been inching closer and closer to the Two-Leg place due to pushback from a nearby summer-retreat hotel being built. Stormkit, ever curious, frequently visited the two-leg hotel, even making friends with a few rouges living in the hotel’s irrigation system. When the leader found out about this, however, let’s just say he was less than pleased. Stormkit’s apprenticeship got delayed, and delayed, aaaand delayed until he was about 8 moons old and it made no sense for him to be considered a kit any longer.
Stormkit, now finally Stormpaw, was still as adventurous as ever, and now frequented trips with trouble (quite literally, seeing as one of the rouges he’d stayed friends with had been unofficially named ‘Trouble’ by the clans). Fortunately for Stormpaw, and unfortunately for the clans, Stormpaw’s mentor actually allowed (if not encouraged) the Tom to continue toeing the line.
After a particularly bad storm, Stormpaw was on a hunting patrol (without his mentor) when he’d heard some cat seemingly in distress. Following the sounds, he saw Trouble getting swept down a river. Without a second thought, he flung himself into the water and began to pull the rouge out. Unfortunately, neither cat was heavy nor strong enough to swim out of the current and both cats found themselves in the middle of the town’s sewer system. Trouble managed to get them out, but didn’t anticipate any two legs being out at night and got snatched by a little girl. Stormpaw, now alone, found his way to a two leg nest and slept under their porch. The next day, however, he decided to try his luck and scratched on the door. He was then rescued by the kind two legs inside and spent the rest of his days there happily
Hope this is good! The hotel part is inspired by a trip I just took where the hotel had all these stray cats walking around the island
