Socks home

[Leafshadow]

The small cottage sat alone on the boarder of the Clan cats territory. its butter yellow exterior, covered in powdered snow, just as its yard lay under the white covering, a small swing set, barely used swung ominously in the cool pre-morning wind. The plank like seat piled high with snow. a cat flap on the back door, the only sign of a feline occupant.

The flap bulged slightly as a small black and white head poked out to gaze out in to her domain. Stepping fully out of the door she flicked her ears back to hear it shut with a sharp snap. The snow sent a chill through her paws as she padded slowly across her grassy yard, the sun was yet to rise and share its pale light and warmth, not that it would do much, with the combination of cold, wind and snow it was an unpleasant weather, not matter which way she looked at it. Her pink tongue lolled out as her jaws parted in a yawn, revealing healthy pink gums and clean white teeth. Taking a running jump she landed easily onto her white picket fence, her sentry spot to welcome the new day. she gazed out into the land surrounding her home wondering whom would pass by today, not that it would concern her, she planned to be curled up by the fire as soon as it was lit. Licking a white paw she swiped it over her ears and face. a small leather collar with a tinkling silver bell and a matching silver disk adored her neck, jingling at her with a pleasant tune. The only thing engraved onto the disk was the word 'Socks'

Two laughing, giggling, smiling bundles of flying fur were the only things disturbing the peaceful yard as two kittypet kits came tumbling down the fence and onto the soft, mushy white snow. Squeals of joy were muffled by the snow as the kits tumbled around, unaware of another feline cat anywhere near them.

Bounce and Shock, light ginger she-cat and dark ginger tabby tom, rolled in the snow, pretending to fight eachother. Their kittish antics would make any forest cat sick, but they were kittypets. They couldn't scent prey or predator as well as a forest cat, they couldn't even hunt. Bounce's red color and Shock's blue one jingled as the bell whirled around on the nylon collar. Each one had a small silver disc shaped in a heart, one engraved 'Bounce', they other 'Shock'.

Socks eyes traveled until they stopped on the two kits She smiled as she watched their antics, with a purr she called out "Good morning you two, making good use of this snow I see?"

Turning round she clawed her way down the fence and landed with a soft thump onto the ground. shaking herself she fluffed up her fur against the cold. She liked to sit and watch them, it reminded her of her kithood, when she had played with her brothers and sisters, they had all found homes with other housefolk and she remained here.

Bounce and Shock stopped their antics and whirled around, causing the snow to fly in all different directions. " Hi!" Bounce squeaked. Shock was less confident, but he mewed a faint greeting anyway. Before long, the two cats were scrapping around in the snow again, from shed top to rooftop to the swings to the ground again.

Bounce raced around in circles, doing frontflips and backflips and sideflips and crawls as she and her brother played tag.
