Diesel yawned and stretched, feeling their stiff muscles loosen. The calico shook out their fur before padding out into the strong sunlight. The mouse they had caught that morning laid on a rock next to the den, and they settled down to eat.
Before they could take a bite, cat scent tickled their nose, and Diesel sneezed. Hmm. They smell clean, a bit like a Twoleg. They noted.
Probably a kittypet. Diesel added, their green eyes glinting with amusement.
"Hello? Anyone there?" Diesel chirped, friendly and warm. They had found that cats, especially kittypets, responded better if they thought that the calico didn't know they were there.
"You can come out, if you'd like. I won't hurt you." They mewed.
