Rum

**Rum** is a black and white cat with yellow eyes.

**Rum** was born as an outsider to unknown parents alongside their sibling Gin.

## Appearance

A sleek tall, long haired black and white cat with a feathery black tail. Rum likes to keep his appearance as clean as they can. However adorned with a few small scars around his body, they like to keep their face as pristine to keep his sharp refined features. Despite having a fairly lean body, he has thick fur that gives a bigger appearance to intimidate timid cats. Still, he prefers to appear elegant and charming to newcomers to lower their guard, with a hint of mischief behind their snake-like yellow eyes. While his fur white fur above is as close to a clean white as it can be, their white paws aren’t as white as it is with a bit of flecks of dirt.

## Personality

Rum is generally a mischievous, flirtatious, and cool-headed feline. While they're mostly friendly with every cat they meet, most of the time they have an alternative motive to their sweetness. Of course, they’re not malicious by nature, he’s just trying everything to survive on the streets with his two brothers. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t like any other cat—Rum rather enjoys the company of cats that they take to his liking, often befriending many cats from many different places, offering any assistance to his trusted allies.

Never tied down by anything, this free-spirited cat likes to live his life with no restraint by any cat, the only exception being their beloved brothers. He often finds himself in many different relationships, more out of benefits than much romantic affections, being quite a heartbreaker once they deem to feel that their relationship doesn’t fit. In truth, he fears the possibility of committing to a relationship and being abandoned by them too, with Fireriver being only one cat he truly liked more than platonically.

However, Rum greatly loathes kittypets to his very core, finding them to just be utter soft and selfish cats who throw away their pride for twolegs. Their hatred for kittypets stems from their abandonment from their mother when he and Gin were young. Just up and left one day, their mother never returning back from their box shelter ever again. Having to fend for themselves in the harsh environment of the city streets, Rum took up the responsibility of caring for his brother Gin. After many moons, Rum was wandering around the twolegs’ nests looking for food only to find his missing mother laying happily on her new twoleg’s lap. Seeing red, he ran away, never to look back at his traitorous mother again.

For a while, it was just Rum and Gin on their own in the big world, until they found a brown and white kit alone in a box. The shivering kit looked so pathetic lying there alone, and yet Rum related to the young kit personally. Perhaps that was why he took the kit in—they felt like they could see themselves in Coke. If they didn’t have Gin with him, he probably would have ended up in the same position as Coke.

Now Rum lives his life comfortably with Gin and Coke, roaming from place to place to find any form of shelter in the big town.
