APPEARANCE: {shorthair black abyssinian-style ticked tabby with >50% white}

Little baby Cactus will be  almost black and white in appearance, the ticking remaining fairly dense on his little body. He will grow into:

Cactus--- has densely patterned ticked tabby as his base coat, his belly, chin, tail-unders, and leg-backs all being a warm beige fading into sable, grizzled grey, and then finally black, with the black tipped hairs getting denser on his face, back, front legs, and tail-top. Unlike a typical tabby, he lacks the banding on his legs, tail, and face, instead being a smooth peppered assortment of tones due to inheriting the abyssinian modified version of the pattern.  His eyes will be framed in "eyeshadow" of beige.

Over this shady coat will be white, making him into a freckled bicolor; his head will be black from the eyes up, as will the back of his neck and most of his spine and tail, while the rest of his body will be white aside from some small spots and patches of the original dark tone. The largest of these spots will be on his right hind leg, going from his outer two toes to the "ankle".

His fur will be short and somewhat stiff, giving him a rough and prickly texture, and his whiskers will be short and pokey to match. His claws are not abnormally long, but will tend to peek out of his paws due to lazy grooming habits; while he'll keep his fur sleek and clean as he can since dingy white fur is hard to impress with, he doesn't seem to mind when his claws outgrow their sheaths a little until his dad or sister bother him about it.

Cactus---'s eyes are soft yellow-green in color and round in shape much like his father's. His nose is dark red, with matching paw pads, and his inner ears are a duller version of this tone; his whiskers are black. His voice is loud and brash, made moreso by his tendency to talk in his "outdoors voice" instead of his indoors one.

PERSONALITY:
{positive; affectionate, enthusiastic, energetic, gregarious}
{negative; snarky, clingy, drama king, yells too much}

Whatever else he may be, the first thing to really note about Cactus--- is that he is an extremely affectionate and physical cat, continuing to enjoy play-tussling and head bumps well into adulthood. He purrs often, given to being a "people person" and enjoying the process of making friends and talking for as long as he's allowed to to those he likes. Perhaps a little overbearing to some, he tends to dominate conversation without even really meaning to, due to both the volume of his voice and his willingness to use it. Excitable and eager, unless the task is outright nasty or dangerous, he looks forward to doing just about anything, especially if it facilitates meeting and talking to others.

Unfortunately, as his name may have suggested he has a prickly side, and tends to be rather snarky and over-reactive, lashing out verbally against those who have slighted him in some way and blowing happenings out of proportion as though he wants to get the other cat in trouble. Prone to fancy and revenge, and creates drama and somehow seems to enjoy doing so even when it backfires terribly. Even so, his friendly nature means he's not particularly good at holding grudges or staying spiteful at one cat for long, he accepts apologies readily, and tends to go around making them when he's overstepped his boundaries or has simply cooled off.

HISTORY: 

Cactuskit was born in late summer to the cross-clan couple Foxflight of MistClan and Lightfoot of MothClan, alongside three sisters named Mirekit, Agavekit, and Fenkit. His little family was split at birth between the two clans as part of the deal his biological parents made, and Cactuskit was taken with Agavekit to MothClan to be raised by Lightfoot. His surrogate was Ruststripe. It is currently unknown if the family will in some way meet up or learn the truth, but it is somewhat conspicuous that every single one of his litter was abyssinian-style tabbies.

Other notes; doesn't start with an accent but is totally gonna have to meet whisky some day and obtain a fake cowboy accent he maintains forever.
