Personality:
Hi there. -yawn- I'm Azikiwe, but you can call me Azi. My personality? Well, I'm pretty laid-back I guess. I'm curious about things, but cautious too. I don't have many--erm, any--friends, but I think I would make a good one. I like just about everything, except the obvious stuff like rain...or water in general.

You'll usually find me sacked out in the sun, or lying spread out on my back staring at the clouds. I'm not really defensive over my belongings, but I would stand up to anything or anyone, to protect another. I’m no knight in shining armor, but I’ll try my best to be brave when I have to be.

I’m pretty klutzy sometimes. I trip over my paws a lot, but I just laugh at myself.

Description:
I groom my pelt regularly, can you tell? I’m so handsome! Hah, just kidding. Well, about the prideful part…I do groom regularly! …I’ll stop talking before this gets too awkward….

I tend to stay away from places I shouldn’t be in, so no scars or scratches from fights. I do have an odd black patch of fur that covers most of my chest.

History:
I don’t really remember my kit-hood, except my mother. She taught me what I know about the world. As a teenager, I was typical. Always goofing off and tomfoolery every kid can get himself into… Teasing the hyenas (and almost getting killed), messing with the lions (and almost getting killed), annoying the females (and almost getting killed)…

Anyway. I’ve always had a respect for the female felines, besides the routine playful pranks. I haven’t found anyone I’ve loved enough to actually ‘move things along’, and if I don’t find the perfect one, I can go without. I guess my view of these things is really different from most of my kind...

As a young adult, I started putting the jokes aside, brushing myself up to please a potential mate. Turns out she went for my best friend… I’ve learned not to change myself for anyone.
I hung out for a few years with my group of friends, but eventually we grew apart. Well, I grew away from them. I’m happy I did though… I think. Life as a loner is sometimes very out of the ordinary, and other days I feel bored to tears.

After The Lurch, I’ve kept my distance from every animal that isn’t prey. I’m a bit stand offish when I meet another cat or large animal, and tend to be very quiet. I have no territory, I just find a place to sleep and sleep.
