Alley Cats.

The Yowl

The birds chirping among the trees, flowers blooming.The greenish leaves on the ground.

Jar turned around to catch the scent of prey.As he caught the scent he saw a squirrel eating a nut without noticing him.Jar quickly crouched and walked slowly toward the squirrel.But then,Jar accidently stepped on a twig that made a noise.

Mouse-dung!

The squirrel heard the crack then ran to a tree nearby.Jar quickly stood up and run towards the tree aswell.

Maybe I could block it before it tries to climb.

Jar ran around the place and had a higher chance of catching the squirrel.Jar reached the tree before the squirrel came.Then it stopped infront of him.

Aha! Got you now!

Jar bit the squirrel's neck before it tried to run a different direction.

*sigh* I finally caught one.

Jar picked up his prey then looked at the sky.

Poppy,if your here... Thank you for giving me the speed to catch this mouse.

Jar faced towards the trees again then heard a cat yowling.

Someone is in trouble!

Jar ran towards the noise while his prey in his mouth.Then he saw a black she-cat yowling in pain.

She is having her kits

Jar thought of that as he saw the swollen belly.
"Please.....Help me!" the she-cat said.

Oh no! I don't know what to do..I could just leave her here and call for help..

Don't leave her, Jar...

Jar heard a suspicious whisper.

Poppy!? Are you here?

Help the she-cat.. She is going through what i had...

Jar had memories of Poppy who died for giving birth to his kits.

"Help me..." the black she-cat snapped him.

"I-I will.." Jar replied in a smooth voice.

What do I do Poppy?

There was no reply from Poppy.Jar was worried because he had nothing to help her accept for the prey in his mouth.

Then suddenly,Jar heard a hiss in his mind.

You mouse-brain! That will not help her!

Jar could tell Poppy wasn't happy for what he thought of.

Stay at her side... She will be strong enough to give birth to her kits.

Jar heard what Poppy instructed and sat beside the black she-cat.

"Nnngghhh"

Her kit is coming!

A few moments after the kit was born,
Jar quickly licked the kits fur to keep him warm.

"...Please..."
"A-are you okay?"
"I'm fine... thank you"

As Jar finished licking the kit he saw that his fur was black.

"Your kit is a black tom"
"...Take care of him...Please.."

As Jar heard those words he thought of Poppy.Jar didn't hesitate and said "I-I will"
"Make him strong and brave.."

After that, the black she-cat died.Jar let a tear out but didn't cried that much then he heard Poppy.

Thank you Jar... She will join me...

Im sorry I wasn't there for you, but her..

Jar didnt heard anything so he picked up the kit and buried his prey underground.Jar returned to the group.
