So after 12 years on Subeta, I'm finally getting my pets looking presentable, lol. I have ideas for most of them, but I'm stuck on my favorite one, Hairless!

Hairless

All I have so far is that she has a huge collection of sweaters to keep her warm, but I'm not sure how to write that into a linear short story for her profile. Any ideas would be majorly appreciated (and credited when I finally write it)!

Well you have a few options: you could have a story about a the character pre-sweaters being cold and having someone (owner, friend, random stranger off the street) make the suggestion. Thus build up of character going about life always shivering, maybe a bad winter comes as the height of conflict, with obvious resolution and denouement.

Or you can have a sort of anthology of single paragraph "stories" about where different sweaters came from (who they were from, where they bought them, memories of specific sweaters)

Or you could have a story about the sweatered cat getting away from home and the sweater getting ruined (or they get bullied/mugged/other cause of clothes ruination) and somehow get it cleaned up or have to get rid of that most meaningful sweater and start collecting

Or have a favorite sweater get lost and the pet is collecting all the sweaters in hopes that one day they will find that lost sweater (could be stealing sweaters from the laundry if you like in this case rather than purchasing)
