Simple Curiosity [OPEN FOR ANYONE]
 

Hubble, a ginger-and-white Maine Coon with amber eyes, gazed out the window longingly at the forest. His folks were out for the day, leaving him at home with nothing to do but wait for them to return. He missed them. With the new Twoleg kit arriving and all, they hadn't had much quality time together lately.

He remembered the days before the little yowling thing came into his house, and how a she-Twoleg cared for him when his family went away for at least a moon. He liked her a lot. He wished he could see her again, even though she wasn't technically a part of his kit-hood family. She always spoke softly and sweetly to him, bopping noses with him each time she came to visit. She loved it whenever he took a snooze on her lap, or when he kneaded her sides like he would his mother. She was never harsh with him, even when he made a mess of the Twoleg nest, or got that greyish, sticky dust under his claws. Many a mat she'd gotten out of his thick coat with white powder and that... shiny metal tooth-thing.

He never liked it when she had to go. The last time she left, she seemed very sad. He couldn't figure out why water kept running down her muzzle when she went away. Maybe the big blue monster that swallowed her each time had something to do with it.

But he was here now, sitting on the windowsill watching the squirrels chase one another through the snow. Maybe he'd go out for a walk. It was only a little ways into the forest from the backyard.

So off he went, through the kittypet door and into the snow-covered woods.

"Uh... hi," Hubble meowed in a raspy voice. "Wasn't expecting to see anybody today." He sat down in front of the stranger. "What's that 'cha got there?" He nodded at the carcass at the older cat's feet. Well, he guessed the cat was older. Hubble was still a youngster, and he was still naïve and... uneducated on Clan life.

"Hubble," the ginger and white kittypet replied. "So... are you one of those Clan cats, or...?"

"I haven't. Could I-- I mean-- may I?" Hubble murred.

Moon shivered, her pelt thick with snow. She was hungry, tired, but most of all, lonely. She lifted her nose to the air, trying to find even the slightest bit of prey scent. She hung her head low, her tail dropping back into the snow with a small crunch. No prey. No other cats, either. She pricked her ears. Maybe hearing would be better then smelling for prey. As she trotted through the snow, she started to hear voices. And smelled... prey? Water flooded her mouth. It had been ages since she had eaten ANYTHING. Maybe whoever was enjoying that meal wouldn't mind sharing. Tail lifted high, she began to follow the cheerful voices.

"Someone's coming," Hubble's orange ears perked up, and he lashed his tail.
