I was awoken from my nap as one of my humans decided to suddenly pick me up. It was quite rude of them, but they started to scratch my back, so I allowed them to hold me. I could tell from their smell that it was the female that had awoken me. She smelled okay and frequently brought me snacks, so I allowed her to be around me.

After a few minutes of patiently allowing the female human to pet me, I pulled myself out of her grasp and found myself inside of a large box. The box had an opening that I stepped through, only to find that something was making my fur wet. Frantically, I attempted to dry myself, only to have more of my fur get wet. In a panic, I ran back inside the box and saw my human. He was sitting next to another female human. Curious as to why he was not paying attention to me, I trotted over to him and rubbed myself against his side.

My human reached down and scratched under my chin, just how I like it. No other human was good enough to serve me like he did. After being sufficiently petted, I took the opportunity to acquaint myself with this new human. After a moment, I found that she smelled just like my human. If she was anything like my human, then I had to make her my servant as well. I moved to her head and rubbed my face against hers, leaving enough of my scent on her to ensure that no one else would try to take her.

Suddenly, a strong scent filled my nostrils. I rushed toward to the smell to find the other female human holding a strip of the delicious meat that she would occasionally feed me before. She held the meat out, and I happily accepted it, tearing into it hungrily. As I ate, my humans communicated with each other. I was unaware of what they were saying to each other, but it made no difference to me as long as they still served me.

I stretched, having finished my meal, and noticed that the box we were in was shaking strangely. Trotting over to the opening that had gotten my fur wet, I noticed that we weren’t around any trees anymore. Bravely stepping through, I examined the landscape. Thankfully, I did not get wet this time. The trees that were normally thick and plentiful were now more spread apart, though they were much taller. I was about to leap down and inspect more closely, but the female human grabbed me and pulled me back inside the box.

Struggling to escape from her grasp only made the female human squeeze me tighter. I was about to attack her with my claws when she pulled out another strip of meat that I graciously accepted. I decided to forgive her and took the meat as an offering. The meat settled nicely in my stomach as I lulled to sleep.

I was awoken once more as the female human carried me out of the box and out to a small area where the larger male human was standing over a fire. This human approached me once again, reaching his hand out to touch me. I swiped my claws at him and hissed at him. I didn’t like this human. He smelled fine, but his face made me angry. Retracting his hand, the human stepped back over to the fire.

Leaping from her arms, I landed on the hard ground and looked around. Immediately, something caught my eye from behind the trees. It looked like some kind of other animal was eating a good distance away. I darted forward, close enough that I could keep up with it, but far enough that it couldn’t hear me coming. Sneaking forward, I crept close enough to pounce and leapt forward, digging my claws into my prey. The animal hadn’t struggle too much before it died. Picking my meal up, I realized that I had not seen my human eat anything and decided to be a gracious master and share my catch with him.

Trotting back over to where my human was, I spotted something high up in a tree. I froze as I watched for what I saw and spotted another human. They were dressed in dark clothes and climbed down onto a lower branch. This human would make a decent cat.

I watched the human as they reached inside their clothes and pull out a shiny thing. Suddenly, the human fell backwards out of the tree, landing hard on the ground just in front of me. I crept forward and sniffed at the human and found that their smell was somewhat familiar. I also found that they were bleeding from their neck.

As I investigated this human, I heard a soft thud beside me and turned to see another human, wrapped head to toe in black clothes. Before I could react, this human reached down and patted my head. I swiped at their hand, only to miss as their hand moved and grabbed the human on the ground by their clothes. Then this human dragged the other away and disappeared.

Not thinking too hard about what happened, I returned to where my human was and laid my catch at his feet. He reached down and scratched my head and picked up the animal. Proud and satisfied, I stretched out and curled up at my humans feet and slept.
