The Lady is a Tramp

I happened upon this dumpster-diving kitty on my way back from my walk today. She quickly climbed out of the dumpster as I approached (they all do that for some reason, maybe they've had one too many bags of trash thrown on top of them) and watched me as I walked by.

Her thick, long fur was probably once beautiful, but is now matted and gray with dirt.

I think if she was human she would be about 45 years old, a former beauty queen who married the wrong guy at a very young age, and who eventually found herself out on the streets. Hardened by her fate, but still proud.

(Of course, I have no idea if this is even a female, but I'm going to pretend that she is for the sake of the story).
