Mentawai(VWF174) was born on March 14, 2012, into the Whiskers. Her mother was either Enili or a subordinate female named Treva The Renewer, and her father was an unknown rover. Mentawai had three litter-mates named Swift(VWF176), Loredo(VWM175), and Pe'ahi(VWF177). The Whiskers were a good-sized mob, so Mentawai and her litter-mates were well-looked after. However, in June 2012, Mentawai was sadly predated at only three months old.
