Diamond

SHORT DESCRIPTION WILL BE PROVIDED BY STAFF FOLLOWING APPROVAL

Diamond is a sharp, street-smart she-cat with a touch of sweet sass that she had passed down to her daughter that belies her rough beginnings on the city streets. She’s fiercely protective of Duchess, always ready with both a gentle nudge and a firm lesson when needed. Though life with the elderly twolegs by the farmhouse has softened her a bit, Diamond’s quick wit and sassy humor keep the twolegs and her kit on their toes. Beneath her tough exterior lies a warm heart, and she’s endlessly grateful for the safe, loving life she’s built with her daughter at their home.

• Born in the Moon of Melting Waters (2016) 079

Diamond was born in the heart of the city, where every day was a challenge and survival meant staying one step ahead of trouble. Her mother, a street-savvy she-cat, taught Diamond how to slip through the shadows, find food where others might miss it, and how to evade the many dangers lurking around every corner the best she could. Diamond’s black-and-white pelt helped her blend into the city’s gritty landscape, and her quick wit earned her a reputation for being both clever and a little sassy. Life on the streets wasn’t easy, but there was a thrill in her independence and the constant game of survival, a thrill that kept her sharp and on her toes.

Her world changed the day she met Scraps, a rough-around-the-edges tom with an adventurous spirit much like her own. The two quickly became close, their bond built on mutual respect and the shared desire to someday find a life beyond the city’s harsh streets. Scraps would often speak of green fields and a life where they didn’t have to fight for every meal. But when Scraps was fatally injured in a clash with a rival group of cats, Diamond was devastated. She stayed by his side in his final moments, his last words urging her to seek the better life they had once dreamed of together. Though heartbroken, she took his words to heart, vowing to find a safer place away from the dangers of the city.

Not long after, Diamond encountered a kind twoleg who brought her to a farmhouse at the edge of a swift running river. This farmhouse was unlike anything she’d known, quiet and peaceful, with friendly twolegs and the comforting smell of rich undergrowth. Diamond decided to make this farm her new home, honoring Scraps’s memory by creating the safe, loving life they had always wanted. Soon after settling in, she gave birth to their daughter, Duchess, and she poured all her love and wisdom into raising her. Though Diamond’s own days of adventure were over, she found joy in watching Duchess grow up safe and cared for, grateful for the second chance this new life had given her and determined to honor Scraps’s legacy in every way she could.
