My cat,
Lionpaw, has never seen death. Let me rephrase that - he
has seen death. His parents went missing one day; the lifeless body of his honorary sister was deposited onto the floor right in of him for him to see. But Lionpaw has never seen the actual
dying part of it.
I'm thinking that he convinces Cloudedspark to take him hunting and they're attacked by a fox, badger, hawk, or something like that. Cloudedspark will try to fight it off and possibly succeeds depending on the creature, only to die from her injuries right in front of Lionpaw's eyes.
Lionpaw will head back to camp and report Cloudedspark's death. It'll shake him up a bit, but it'll be good for him in the long run as he won't be as surprised in the middle of an important battle.
