The kitten frowned, thinking over what little she was told about the threats of otters on their borders. They were obviously dangerous, the calls in the clearing… they needed to be cleared out sooner rather than later and what could was throwing yourself straght at them when you knew next to nothing. Rosekit knew there were tricks to every thing she would attack in her life, and she assumed that this was a case of something so new that there was simply none discovered… so why not find out. “They’re fish you say? Could we possibly drive them from the river and away from it so that they no longer have an advantage… perhaps even set up some sort of ambush, if they swim, surely they can’t climb. We’re Thunderclan cats, its one of our special skills….” All very basic observations that she’s sure other cats have already had but she drew her eyes to the soil beneath her paws.

Taking a step back, she cleared the dirt, sweeping it free of paw steps and claw marks before taking a single one of her own claws to draw crude circles that were meant to be otters. They were fish… do they need water to breath? Two squiggle lines framed the otters next, to represent the water of the river.. Then followed by tall lines with short scratches to mark branches off the trunks. She pointed to a taller branch, “Could we have cats sit in the trees and watch them, to try and figure out what they are like so we can figure out the best approach?” Taking warriors away from daily tasks seemed worth it, with the warming season she knew that it was getting warm which menat focus of hunting can be shifted slolwy towards having spying done on their enemy.

“Going back to what I was saying before,” She dragged her claw from one o fthe ‘otters’ and past the trees, “What of we lure them out, or force them away from the river and into our territory. Then they are.. A fish out of water, that is the correct phrase right? From there we could handle them based on what our spying cats would tell us. If they have similarities to other predators we can use that information- or as you mentioned earlier, didnt you say that medicine cats have poisonous herbs as well? Couldn’t we manage to catch some fish or some prey and then stuff it with those herbs and leave them near the river?” She doesn’t imagine ant creature that was anything like a fish was very smart.

While waiting for a response from the warrior, she continued draiwng lines, even taking a nearby pebble and dropping it on one of the otters heads as though planning other methods of elimation in her head.
