Poppytwist smiled. "Yes! That is very good! And there is a faint smell of vole, but that is not going to be our focus right now. I am going to show you how to catch a squirrel. I want you to follow me and be very quiet. Make sure to watch your step, we don't want the prey spooked." She started to follow the scent trail. "Okay, so the prey is ahead. We are upwind of it right now so we need to go around from the other side." She started to circle around the area where the squirrel was. They were downwind now. "Watch how I will stalk and then pounce," she whispered. "Squirrels are fast so I will need to move quickly." She crept forward and with her tail, signaled Sleetpaw to stay and watch. Then, when the squirrel was fairly close, she leapt and caught the squirrel between her paws. With a ferocious bite to the neck, the squirrel was dead.
