Be a cat

Just an average pet cat from an average neighborhood

Be hungry too

Pretty much your natural state

The humans that feed and house you never put out enough kibble to really satisfy

It's almost like you aren't the center of their world

Nah, that's silly

They just aren't properly trained yet

You have to be patient with humans

Some of your friends complain about theirs, but you think they're just lazy

There's lots of food right out side the little swinging thing in the back door

All a cat's gotta do is go out and take it

You're really good at that

And in the last few years, that's gotten even easier!

So easy you're getting a bit rounder

It's nothing to worry about, your food still can't outrun you

Not even close

 

When you first saw them, it was really confusing

A bit scary even

Those garish colors made them stick out even while hiding under a bush

Exactly what they were trying to do when you'd first spotted them

And the sounds they made

Just like one of your humans, only squeakier

Bizarre

It hurt your ears a bit

The smell too, it made no sense

Completely unlike anything you'd smelled before, this was something new

New, scary and exciting!

You were a younger cat then, so inexperienced and curious

Creeping closer wasn't a problem, the squeaky things made so much noise you could have walked right on up to them.

You didn't do that though

Just watching seemed like the smartest thing to do, and you're one smart cat

The smartest really

You peek through the tall grass surrounding a half dead bush

There were more than ten of those... whatever they are

They kinda look liked the things you cough up after a good grooming

The humans don't like it, but they still pick it up anyway

They're good humans

And this is a good memory of glories past

 

 

"Hewd stay, smawty say dis gud pwace fo' sweepies"

"Fwuffy wan nummies, fwuffy cowd"

"Woll mummahs togetha', stawwion go fin' mo' nummies fo' guf fwuffies"

"Nuuuu, fwuffy cowd, stay wif hewd"

"Nu wan dawk, pwease come back, bwigh baww"

"Pwease, fwuffy tiwed, wan nappies"

"Owwie!  Nu puwl taiw!  Am gud fwuffy!"

"Yu bad fwuffy!  Wisten to smawty fwiend or get big owwies"

"Pwease no owwies, am gud fwuffy, jus' wan sweepi- OWWIEEEEE"

 

Hot damn these things are irritating

Like those really small humans the big ones carry

But worse

You keep still, this was the most interesting thing thats happened since the red dot invaded your home

The humans were powerless to stop it, and it was so fast!

You chased it for hours and eventually the bright red invader ran for its life

Good thing too, you almost had it

It's been back a few times, but you always chase it off

Your humans are lucky to have you

 

"Am sowwy, am sowwy, pwease no mo' huwt eaw, fwuffy be gud!"

"Den go bwing nummies.  Get nice gwassies an put in fwuff fo' mummahs.  Get hooman nummies an' shawe wif hewd."

"Hoomans haf nummiest nummies, buh dey get meanie if dey see fwuffies take."

"Hewd get nummies fwom widdle hoomans, dey nu gif bad owwies wike big hoomans."

"Hoomans gif worstest owwies - hooman scawy munsta!"

"Stawwions, yu bwing best nummies fwom widdle hoomans an gif to fwuffy mummahs!"

"... okies.  Gud fwuffies go."

"Gween sowwy, get nummies nao, be gud fwuffy too"

 

Some of the things waddled off and disappeared into the tall, yellow grass.

You took a good look at what was left

Four were much bigger than the rest, so big other hairy things had to push them around like your ball

Others had little versions of themselves crawling all over them, making irritating, high pitched sounds.

 

"Wuv mummeh, wan miwk, pway?"

 

It really sets you on edge

And the one that had yanked on the others ear, it layed no top of another for some reason

 

"enf enf enf enf enf"

"Owange wuv speciawl fwiend"

 

.... Oh!

You've done that before too, another cat came into your yard and she smelled SO nice!

Good times

They don't look very dangerous, but some had a size advantage over you

If these were squirrels, you'd have left them alone and gone home

These however, you want to know more about them

They were probably edible and you'd like to try but they had a lot of friends

So you do what you're good at, hold still and stare

Night falls quickly, the other came back and shook themselves in front of the fat round ones

A bunch of useless grass fell out

Stupid things

It didn't take much longer for them to start nodding off

You keep completely still, trying to make sense of all the odors they gave off

It's more like ten animals than one

When it looks like all have gone to sleep, you prepare to make your move

Down!

One of the smaller ones slowly stood up and began shuffling towards the long grass, what luck!

 

"Am gud fwuffy, make poopies way fwum hewd, mummeh be pwoud"

 

As it walked into the tall grass, you slipped around the edge and closed in on the small, pink animal

*sniff*

Whew!

What has that thing been eating?

Smells worse than your litterbox after that last tuna bender

Doing your best to ignore the stench you position yourself right near the grasses edge

Soft moonlight illuminates your target, showing you it's shaggy profile while it squats

Now... where to bite?

Does it even have a neck?

And it's loud too, they all are.

Really, annoyingly loud

Gotta hit it so fast it can't call for help

But you can't see any neck...

You bet you can get your mouth over it's muzzle however

It's not much smaller than you, but it's face is so tiny, it's worth a shot

The young foal finishes it's pooping and kicks a little grass back on it like a dog

It even looks back at it's own poop, and that's when you strike

With perfect precision your teeth clamp down on the fluffies mouth and you jerk your head back hard as possible, expecting a struggle getting it to the ground

Which is why you're so surprised when it almost flips over your body, it's light weight no match for a cats strong neck muscles

You almost let go

Almost

 

In a flash you're hopping over twigs and putting distance between yourself and the fluffy herd

Your victim thrashing about weakly in your grip, barely squeaking as it's jostled painfully around

Crossing a little stream, over a pile of red things humans make houses out of and into a long, round metal thing you finally come to a

 

stop and drop your expertly stolen meal

 

"Owwie!  Munsta haf fwuffy, mummeh pwease hewp!  Mummeh hewp fwuffy!"

 

There's that screech again, the round metal thing makes it sound even worse.

 

"Hewp!  Meanie munsta got fwuffy!  Hewd hewp, mummeh hewp, hewp fwuffy!"

 

You peer at your catch curiously

It's making lots of sounds and appears to be crying, yet it doesn't try to run

You lick the blood from your lips, mmmm that's good

A bit sweet but quite tastey

You bat the thing down with one paw, it's so much lighter than you though it'd be

 

"Nuuuuuuu, pwease no huwt fwuffy!  No mo' huwties!  Fwuffy nu wan munsta, need huggies!"

 

You bat it again, harder this time

The fuzzy little ball rolls onto it's back and cries harder, it's scrawny legs waggling feebly

 

"Mummeh!  Bu hu hu hu, wan mummeh!"

 

It has for stubby little legs, no wonder they walked so slowly

And it's all fur!

This tiny thing isn't any bigger than an adult squirrel, all that fuzz makes it look so much larger

You're almost disappointed, it had looked like a substantial meal at first

Now, barely a morsel

 

"Why mummeh no hewp fwuffy?  Hu hu hu hu when hewd hewp?  Munsta got fwuffy, need wuv an huggies"

 

You're feeling quite let down with the lack of challenge this pathetic thing provides.

It's not even running, just crying.

What sort of prey does that?

Maybe it needs a little inspiration

You smack it onto it's side and try biting through the fluff

It tickles your nose but offers little protection as your teeth sink into its rump

 

"NUUUUUUU babbeh is nu nummies!  Hewp fwuffy!  Mummeh!"

 

That motivated the fluffy thing

It waddles as fast as it can towards the end of the pipe

Which is irritatingly slow, you calmly walk after it

Being careful to go around the little surprise it left behind

 

"Nu eat fwuffy, nu huwt fwuffy!  Pwease munsta!"

 

This time you swipe it with your claws out and feel them cut into flesh

 

"OWWIES!  NUUUUUUUU Nuuuuuuuu!  Weggie! Munsta huwt weggie, pwease nu eat babbeh!"

 

FUCK that's annoying!

Enough games

It's easily shoved into the ground with one paw

You rake it mercilessly across the back, blood matting it's fluffy

 

"NUUUUU OWWW pwease!  Nu eat, nu eat, fwuffy nu wan dai!"

 

You lick at it's red back and taste the presented meat, this is some tender stuff

Tiny legs thrash around but are far too weak to dislodge you

 

"Pwease nu eat fwuffy munsta, fwuffy gif huggies!  Gif nummies, fwuffy gif bestest nummies pwease!"

 

The sounds it make are so shrill it's really starting to hurt

You clamp down hard on where the neck should be

It takes a few tries and a couple sneezes but finally you've got it

 

"Nuuuuu *gasp* nu wan, nu dai, pwease mummeh, *gasp* babbeh nu dai"

 

You feel it starting to slow down

 

"nu .... wan dai.... pwe..."

 

Finally, it gives up, muscles releasing

Wow, it still had some poop in there

 

In just a few mouthfulls the fluffy thing is reduced to a pile of pink fuzz and bones

A yummy treat, but only that

Hardly the meal you'd hoped for

Then again, the night is young and there are a lot of these thingies left

You've learned much about whatever they are, but there has to be more to them

Why have you never seen or smelled these before?

They'd be hard to forget if you have

How could something so brightly colored even try to hide?

Do the adults have a bit more meat on their bones, or is it just more fluff?

Why not try a bigger one, it may offer more of a challenge

You spend a minute cleaning yourself then head back out into the night

Maybe you'll bring some back for your humans, they deserve a snack too

Both of your male humans seem down lately, maybe because the two females left the nest

The younger one comes back from time to time, but its never for long

And the older female... it's been ages since you've seen her

Yes, some of this tasty meat will be sure to cheer them up

You're gonna have to kill a lot of those fuzzy animals

No problem, you're up to the task
