Hunter's Woods Writing Prompts

   Kat has a lot of things going for him. He's experienced, he's level-headed, he's patient, and he's selfless - Enough to even take a child he's never met before under his wing and help her learn to survive and find her way home. But more than anything, Kat would say that his greatest strength is just that: His strength.
   Physically, Kat is large and strong, befitting of a Maine Coon. He's not one of those absolutely giant ones that look more like a slightly smaller than average lynx than a normal domestic cat, mind you, but he's still bigger and tougher than your average cat - Something that's been helped by his years living alone and fending for himself. He has the strength, size, and endurance to chase and take down prey and rout competitors, as well as enough stamina to flee from (or, if push comes to shove, force to fight off) potential attackers - Even larger animals, if he were backed into a corner and unable to run, might at least reconsider targeting him when he puffs up his fur and snarls and takes a swipe with his claws. You have to be able to hunt and run and fight to survive, especially alone, and Kat has the experience necessary to have built the strength to do so.
   And mentally, he's strong as well - Not the sort of book smart, so to speak, that cats like Amara have, but he has a mental fortitude from years of toughing things out that allows him to just keep pushing forward. Because if you want to live, and you're living without others to support you, you can't just let yourself start cracking and breaking down. If you give up, who's going to be there to take care of you? Nobody, if you go it alone. Whatever hardship he might face, Kat keeps going, because if he doesn't, he might as well just lay down and die - Because, prior to the Wayfarers becoming what it is today, that was what letting his strength falter would have been.
   He's strong, physically and mentally. And because of that, he can support himself... and the others as well, if need be. And what could be more valuable than that?
