Feather's Backstory

The small grey kitten squirmed across the grass-covered forest floor. The sun's light peeked through the leaves of the tall trees of the forest for most of the day but was now nowhere to be seen. She moved her small legs as fast as she could, chasing an orange butterfly.
"Feather? Feather?" A sweet voice called. Feather looked up and spotted her mother Ginger. She ran as fast as her small legs could carry her. She ran into her mother's soft, ginger pelt. She sniffed her scent of sweet milk. Feather purred lightly, rubbing against her mother.
"Come on Feather. It's time for bed." Ginger mowed, nudging her kit forward. Feather looked up at the dark sky and the bright white light in the middle of the sky, surrounded by smaller ones. She curled up next to her mother and drifted to sleep. When she woke up in the morning, her mother was gone.
Feather stood in shock as she sniffed for the sweet scent of milk, but it was nowhere near. Feather slumped away from where she last saw her mother, too sad to be around the spot she last saw Ginger. She walked for many days and nights, tired, hungry, and alone.
She stopped to rest her tired and sore paws. She heard barks getting closer and closer. She turned around and saw three dogs coming for her. Two large, and one the size of a full grown cat. Terrified, she ran. Feather took every corner and turn in attempts to confuse the dogs, but nothing worked. She darted inside a hollow log, in hopes to lose them. The two large dogs couldn't fit in the log, but the smaller one could. Feather felt a sharp pain sliding down her small back. Despite her injury and pain, she continued running.
The rain poured onto the leaves of a blueberry bush. Feather's soft grey fur matted, her ribs showing. Hungry, cold, and scared. She shivered as the rain dripped onto her fur.
"Ospreysong, come see this." A voice called. A sandy colored cat peered into the bush, followed by a brown cat.
"Hey honey, it's ok. I'm Tawnyblossom." The sandy cat purred. "We're gonna take care of you and take you home."
