Just wanna be wanted

Mysti's claws uncurled into the bedding that she had laid out for herself the previous night. Her tail twitched over onto her side; clearly the orange and white she-cat was dreaming. Her whiskers quivered as she chased an imaginary intruder away from her den.
The sun splayed its lazy rays across her flanks. The warmth of it awoke her. Slowly, topaz eyes opened and jaws breathed in deeply in a yawn, displaying pointed teeth colored with the pristine white of a swan's feathers. After a moment of sloth like decision, she finally chose to stand. It took Mysti a few more heartbeats before she could move, let alone show herself to the dappled sunlight.
By sheer will, she forced her paws to move out into the forest, picking their way through rabbit holes, streams, and twoleg trash. Finally, she reached her destination; a large oak tree. The tree was dead, although new growth emerged all around it.
Mysti sank her claws into the bole of the tree, clambering up the bark until she came to a branch. She clawed her way onto the flesh-like part of the tree where it was almost as if it were living; Mysti knew not if the tips of the branches could live long after the actual tree was gone, but she assumed such, so she sat on the far side of the greenery, watching the sunrise.
