Time to Hunt

[Ki]

Nala sat in front of Frisbee's nest, waiting. The two were going to go hunt today. The kits had been taken away by the yellow monster, and Nala was free to roam now. Frisbee should be as well. She couldn't wait to go into the forest. Usually she didn't get very far, because soon her enough her Twolegs would be calling after her. And after going back late one night and finding her kits wailing in sadness, she vowed to never return home late again. She just couldn't put her kits through that torture again, or bare to hear their wails.

"Frisbee!" Nala yowled at the nest, her paws itching with excitement.

[Kitty]

Frisbee heard Nala's yowl from inside the nest. Luckily, his Twolegs had left the catflap open so he could go out back. He jumped off theyoungest kit's bed, ran down the hallway, through the kitchen, and proceeded out the catflap. He went around the side of the house and yowled, "Nala!"

He leapt at the larger she-cat and bowled her over.

[Ki]

Nala laughed and allowed the hairless cat to knock her down. She batted at his head, claws sheathed. Her half-tail twitched in excitement. "Let's go. The day is young and there are mice to catch!" She got to her paws, panting slightly in the green-leaf heat. That was another reason why most cats didn't like her: she was too dog-like. But Frisbee was her friend, at least! "Just be careful. I've never seen any wild cats, but I've smelled them before."

[Kitty]

"Great, let's go!" Frisbee exclaimed, climbing off the she-cat. "I promise I'll be careful. Besides, if they're smaller than you, they won't dare mess with us!" he laughed.

He went over to his fence and leaped over it. "And they'll probably be too shocked about seeing us in the forest they won't be able to moveand we can make a run for it!"

[Ki]

Nala bobbed her head in agreement and padded after Frisbee. She was a very large cat. Larger than some of the dogs! If any wild cat wasn't frightened by her she could fight them off. Even if she'd never really had to fight, other than a dog or two. "Exactly! My mother once said I look like a tiny leopard...you know, one of the cats I told you about!" She hopped on top of his fence, balanced there for a few moments, then jumped down after him. "So, have you ever tasted mouse?"

[Kitty]

Frisbee shook his head. "I've never learned how to hunt. So, leopards look like you, only bigger?" he inquired, then laughed. "I must look like a Twoleg with four legs and different ears to some cars! I probably look half Twoleg!"

He fell behind Nala. "Lead the way!"

[Ki]

"That's what my mother seemed to think!" Nala mewed. She nodded once and took off, taking long graceful strides. However, the wild-looking she-cat kept her pace slow that Frisbee could keep up. There was no telling how fast the furless tom could run, so she would just go slow to be safe.

((Move to another thread? Is TC awake? Or is it still night? If it is, we'll go to RiverClan.))

[Kitty]

Frisbee was actually a pretty fast runner. His housefolk took them on walks, and it helped his speed. So he kept up easily with Nala.

((I dunno if TC is awake or not yet. RC is, though. I know that for sure.))
