Vagabonds

Bond

by Ruby O'Degee

Most Vagabonds are orange or yellow. Light colors reflect best with their biology, that includes LED lights. Faces, eyelashes and heads covered with small pin lights at birth decorate vagabond ears. Some wear out before the age of five, but there is enough left to light a hallway. No Hamlet resident needs a night light. A common cliche repeated among Vagabond parents is “Learn to sleep with the lights on.”

Basic Information

Anatomy

Male Vagabonds grow large ears that hear nearly nothing. Their sense of smell is keen. Female Vagabonds grow crowns instead of hair. Their crowns are also LED lights. Vagabond parents know not to touch a sleeping cat’s belly. Their bellies are spotlights and sound off on a loud alert when touched. The alert signals the family that a stupid human is present.
The best reason for Vagabond adoption is that their nails do not need trim. Vagabond nails grow 167 meters during the first three years of life, but the nails are completely flexible. It is common to see a Vagabond wrapped around a tree or a child’s leg. The other best reason is their satchel. An empty satchel is always open and ready for treats.

Ecology and Habitats

Vagabonds don’t care about decor. After taking possession of a house, they look for an on demand food bowl, a clean litter box, a large window ledge, and a square. They love photography. They will pose into any position on a square: curled into a ball, the belly up position, and selfie stretch position. Hamlet Vagabond fathers are happy to pose with their pets.

Behaviour

The secret process of how a Vagabond chooses a home is still unknown. Some idiots drop them off in the driveway, on the porch or in the bushes. Sometimes the Vagabonds show up at the door with satchel in tow. They are hungry, exhausted from outrunning hawks, and suitably shy about their approach. They are so cute and patient, Hamlet homeowners agree to a cooperative agreement in a Vagabond minute. Once the signed agreement goes into effect, the Vagabond moves in, crawls into a parent’s lap and takes hold of command and control. The process of adoption; a two-way cat walk is over.

Additional Information

Perception and Sensory Capabilities

If a Hamlet resident does not pacify a Vagabond with charisma, the resident stirs up some Bond Nip. Cat Nip will not remedy a Vagabond’s anxiety. Bond Nip is a mix of powdered milk, Lavender and work boot liners. The liner smell lulls the male Vagabond to sleep and dims his lights. The Male Vagabond will sit quietly on his parent’s lap. Work boot smells to do not affect female vagabonds. She will cover her nose. The female Vagabonds sleep under her parent’s chin, close to the ear, and squiggle no matter how uncomfortable the parent feels.

Conservation Status

Unfortunately, the Vagabond is not so rare that humans choose not to bond with everyone of them. In most cases, the Vagabond eventually makes their way to a colony where it doesn’t belong. Vagabonds do not bond. They are prey for carnivores, birds, and snakes. They live a solitary life. A few Vagabonds find a hamlet home. These bonding pets are exceedingly rare.
