**Salem** is a short-furred blue-and-white cat with one blue eye and one orange eye. They are a resident of the player's colony in Cattails: Wildwood Story and are the kitten of Alabaster and Fliss.

## Personality

Salem is very curious by nature. Due to getting bored easily, they tend to get into mischief. They like to spend a lot of time in Krampy's den, particularly exploring in the back rooms (which Krampy themself has claimed to be dangerous).

## Den

After their birth, Salem lives in Alabaster's den alongside Fliss.

* "I wasn't doing anything! I was being good! / What? You are just saying hi? Sorry, I thought you saw me-- Never mind. What's up?"

> ***- Two stars***

* "Oh, phew, it's just you (player). Thought you were Alabaster for a second. What a relief."

#### Newborn

* (Salem's face is all bunched up into a goofy-looking wink.)

#### Infant

* (Player)! (Player) smells good! I like you, (player).
* "Why am I so small? Why you so big? / Will I be so big? Will you be so small?"
* "Where's Alabaster? Where's Fliss?"

#### 2 Stars

* "Alabaster is always trying to teach me about plants. I don't think there is much to them to be honest. They just heal you and stuff. / Valerian: makes you go fast but tastes bad. Peppermint: covers your smell but tastes bad. Marigold: heals you but smells AND tastes bad. / See? They're all the same.
* "It feels like I am hungry all of the time. My parents said that I can eat some leftover Licorice if I get hungry, but I would rather starve."
* "I am being good. I do not get time-outs. / The trick is to not get caught, then you won't face any consequences. It usually works for me."
* "I hate sitting still. It is so boring. There are so many other things I would rather do. / Why do adult cats sit still all the time? How can they manage it?"
* "Spark is really fun to play with. They are really cool. / They like to race around town. I think I'm faster than Spark. Don't you think so? I can prove it!"
* "Do you know Lainey? Lainey looks just like my parent, Fliss. They are siblings. / I wish that I had a sibling like that. We could have so much fun together. I'd rope them into all my hijinks. It'd be way better if I had an accomplice."
* "The other day I tried to steal some leeches from Krampy. As soon as I went to grab them, I heard a low growl behind me. / I didn't stick around long enough to find out who spotted me! I dashed right through a hole in the wall and ran away as fast as I could. / I don't think they even know it was me. I'm too sneaky to get caught."
* "I am too small to pull weeds. Alabaster thinks that I can do it, but I am just a kitten. / Why does the garden need so much attention, anyways? Plants grow out in the wilderness just fine without any help."

#### 3 Stars

* "Lainey is more fun than Fliss. Fliss tries to make learning fun, but learning is never fun. It's silly and useless."
* "The other day, Fliss tried to put a flower in my fur. / I am so glad that no one saw me like that. I ripped the flower out and throw it away as soon as Fliss was gone."
* "I don't want to learn all of the time. I just want to play.
* "See my tooth? That is a permanent one. The rest of my teeth are still kitten teeth. They will fall out eventually to make room for my big ones. / I've got some ideas on what to do with the little ones..."
* "Do you garden? It is so boring. You just have to sit and wait for the plants to grow. / You can just pick up plants in the wild, you know. You don't have to wait or anything. You can just take them."

#### 4 Stars

* "I have a secret language that only my closest friends know. Would you like to learn it? / It is a code based on blinking. Blink twice if you would like to learn it and I will start teaching you."
* "I just thought of something. I could use Blueberries to dye Fliss blue! Then our whole family will be matching. I guess there is a use for plants after all, huh."
* "I haven't caught any prey yet, but I did catch some bugs. They can be pretty tasty if you ask me. I don't understand why you don't eat them. / Could you at least save a couple for me? The bugs I don't eat I can hide in my parents' bed. They're gonna flip out!"
* "Did you notice that my eyes are different colors? Lainey told me there is a word for that, but I forgot what it's called. I just think it's cool. / It makes me unique!"
* "Living in the (colony title) is actually super fun. I am glad that I get to play with all of the cats here, even if there are rules that I have to follow. / Sometimes I ignore the rules. Life's more fun that way. Every cat should try it from time to time."
