The alleyway is dim, illuminated only by slivers of moonlight cutting through the grime. A lanky, matted black cat with mismatched eyes scurries frantically, knocking over a rusted trash can in search of sustenance. The crunch of approaching footsteps freezes the creature mid-pounce. With fluid grace, the cat slips beneath a towering dumpster, pressing its dirty fur against the cold concrete, hoping the stench of rot masks its presence from the looming threat above.
