gender:male name:stowaway likes: sunbathing, the ocean and fish dislikes: mud, the cold and kids backstory: when he was a kitten he lived as a stray with his mom and littler mates as he grew older he became interested with the nearby harbor and he would steel from the fishing boats when he was hungry and the alleyways had no mice to supply him. one day when he was lying on the dock letting the ocean wind flo through his fur a fisher came and sat across from him; his great muddy boots where plunged into the water and he gazed into the horizon the gray cat rose to his feet and went to lay on the fisherman lap "oy ya gray rat!" said the gruff man as the cat let himself curl into a ball "well ya dont seem your gonna move anytime soon." he said and the cat started to purr the man then reached into his pocket and took out a red handkerchief with a skull and crossbones on it "this should suit you well i do thing." he said and tied the piece or cloth around his neck "yer a lil' stowaway you know?" and the name stuck. stowaway lived the next few years with the fisherman and would accompany him on the ship he captained, but one day a grieved crew entered the crew room in witch stowaway had been sleeping in. two of them were carrying the captain, one of the big metal hooks that held the fishing net had hit him in the head and it had been crudely treated and bandaged and stowaway sleep on his chest till he got better but he could never lead the ship again. the captain was brought to shore and left to live with his wife, kids and grandchildren "The cat sir." said a young 21 year old crew member said as he picked up stowaway with his large wet hands "i shaint' (shall not) take im'. he's belongs to the sea and at sea he'll stay, when he's ol' an crippled then i'l take im." stowaway now lives his days skipping from boat to boat and occasionally goes to visit the old man who is awaiting him on the shore.
