Rank: Kittypet/N/A
Age: 6 Moons
Birth Moon: Snow Moon 2021
Sex: Tom
Appearance: A small chocolate brown British Short Hair tom cat with yellow eyes
Personality:
The one thing people don't realize about Teddy is that he is actually a rather Brilliant individual. If it has to do with information about the world around him in a technical sense of the word you'd be amazed at the comparisons this boy spews. He has no filter and anything he says comes out as a bit show off but it's just him sharing his love of information to you in the only way he knows how with the way his brain works around the lack of senses he is still learning to cope with. Because of his learning curve at such a young age Teddy finds everything brilliantly fascinating and Colorful but not in the sense of colors of the rainbow but more out of how he feels about it. As someone who enjoys learning and is surrounded by nature Teddy finds connection within the forest and the earth beneath his paws. Because of his lack of social skills he finds comfort and an Empathetic nature with creatures and plants around him. He would rather talk to himself and a butterfly or coax a flower to bloom than to speak comfortably in front of another feline. While he is not keen on finding a connection with other felines besides his care taker and other creatures around him he is a Friendly soul who'll talk your ear off about anything trivial. If you try to talk to him on a personal level he disconnects from you but he at the end of the day you'll not find anyone as Honest whether good or bad then Teddy as he had never learned that certain social interactions require a certain amount of respect and technicality that he jut doesn't possess.
A lot of people find him very Absentminded especially when he mentally disconnects from others during the brief and rare feline encounters that he has. He doesn't try to be but his mind is much like a big two leg nest with many rooms with only keys that he has to unlock it's doors. His mind is very Complex and not a lot of people know how to handle his way of coping except for maybe his handler who has learned his ticks and triggers. As an empathetic person when it comes to other living beings with it comes the Emotional trait of feeling far too much. He doesn't know how to express himself so it can be confusing if his reactions are not warranted to the scene that has taken place. He doesn't mentally cope the way normal cats do but he is an Impressionable sort who loves to learn. If you are someone he lets in and find comfortably with he will take into account your actions and your reactions and make a conscious effort to replicate it as it slowly learns emotions and how they work socially because he does wish to be liked.
To put things into perceptive Teddy is a handful and he can be clingy. Very very Dependent on his care taker and those close to him as even such a small creature that he is has melt down and often feels as if his disability of lack of sight makes him feel worlds away and he needs someone there to pick him back up. He goes through his phases of mood swings as well that often make people give him odd looks because when he gets over stimulated by something he gets Excitable and often hard to handle; the best course of action is just to let him blow his steam and give him a safe space to do so even if it means taking him away from a place to put him in another. When he gets excited he often goes through periods of Forgetful episodes as his brain still tries to catch up with his body so don't get too over butt hurt if he doesn't remember what happened or what was said when he flies into an excitable episode. It's nothing personal. while still so young and impressionable as he is the most Gullible and naive boy there is. Wanting to be loved and understand the world is hard so he tries to do what he can no matter if it's right or wrong to be able to make an impression for others to like him and that often gets him into trouble. Because Teddy is still learning and coping the best he can while trying to regulate his own emotions about his circumstances he is someone people will call Reactive. This could be both a bad thing or a good thing depending on the circumstances of his mood and what he got himself into. On a good day his reactive personality is that of a young child learning something new and finding wonder in the world around him while on a bad day he can be the bane of his own existence and often needs extra comfort.
History:
[0-6 Moons] - Teddy's story is not a happy one. Like any good story it starts happy but tragedy brings forth better results when it comes to sympathy from others. Teddy's story begins with his mother Nana. Nana is a British Short Hair kittypet who's owner raises and breeds the Short Hair cat breeds. From Nana's first litter came Maisie and Tobias - Teddy's older half siblings who never knew their father due to him being a nameless face of the breeding program. But in Nana's second litter came Maisie, Flicker, and Teddy with Nana's owner's personal Short Hair named Flint. If you know anything about owning cats they come with health issues. Teddy's breed (British Short Hair) alongside that of Himilayan and Birmans breeds they are prone to a genetic predisposition of inherited cataracts. Fancy was of saying that over time a film covers their eyes and makes them lose their eye sight. Not all breeds get them but it can happen to any breed, sex, and gender even at an early age.
Teddy was that unlucky 1 in 3 of his litter to get it. The only one to get it. He was a happy little boy. Naive, playful, and sweet. Not understanding that his condition would make it hard for him as he grows older. He had nothing to worry about for the first few weeks as he drank his mothers milk and cuddled for naps with his sisters. The eye issues didn't start until he hit about 4 months old when it became evident of his condition. He could still see...but not enough that his breeder thought he was worth keeping. No one wanted to pay for such high vet bills for a cat to get their eye sight back and no one wanted a cat who couldn't see. His vision was blurry - shapes and colors were all he could see but he could not see the features of his siblings face or of his mothers. He'd bump into walls and knock over things - his sight getting worse by the day causing more trouble for his owner than his little mind in the sky could comprehend. His owner tried, bless her heart but she could not afford it. So she'd told her nephew about trying to find a good home for Teddy and her nephew had said he'd take care of it.
He'd taken Teddy - claiming to be taking him to a foster home to be adopted out...but not even Teddy realized the gravity of the situation. Instead of taking him to a vet, or a foster home, or even a shelter. The tom kit was placed in his cat crate on the side of the road with the door cracked open and unlocked for him to run free. Teddy didn't realized what was happening and thought perhaps he'd be picked up...but hours passed and no one came on the deserted road. When he finally had the courage to move from his carrier it was to the stench of the road and the rumbling beneath his paws. Unaware to him - he didn't realize he was about to walk into the line of a car passing by on the road until he was saved by an unknown cat that yanked him back just in time to save his life. The cat realized Teddy wasn't normal, not the way he acted so out of sorts and certainly not how his eyes never truly focused on their face or eyes made them realize Teddy would die out here in days if they didn't take him in. And so they did, with no where else to go Teddy followed blindly into the unknown only guided by the vague shape of a feline and the new scent of his new caretaker - and the ever aching feeling of betrayal and sadness in his heart at knowing he'd never see his siblings or mother again.
