In your hunting stance you creep forward, like this, for mice you want extremely light pawsteps, but with other prey you can be a little louder pawsteps. Rabbits are different, as are flying birds, and prey in the trees and swimming prey.” She meowed dropping into a hunter’s crouch and doing a stalking skill for a squirrel or vole,” Don’t focus on quietness the first time, as it’s hard enough simply stalking the first time let alone trying to do it quietly.” She meowed.

Willowpaw copies the movement and managed for a foot or two but the new her foot slipped in a mushy spot of snow. She held back a cry of defeat and got back up on her feet. She dropped into the crouch again, careful to remember the tail rule. She crept forward and almost made it five feet but she then tripped over a stick or something hidden beneath the snow. She took a deep breath and continued trying out the excerise.
