Claudsta-no, Claudrat now, yawned as he opened his eyes. Above him was the sympathetically smiling face of Snipvoice.
“You too, huh?” Claudrat muttered.
“Yep.” Snipvoice replied.
The black and white spotted tom stretched, before getting to his feet. “How’d you die?"
"Claypaw.” Snipvoice said. “He fed me deathberries. You?”
“The clan dragged me onto the thunderpath. Siltflower…” A look of horror flashed onto the face of Snipvoice. “Was she killed too?” He looked around frantically. “Then why isn’t she here?”
The despair on Claudrat’s face must have told Snipvoice everything. “No….” The grey tom buried his face into Claudrat’s pelt for a moment, before regaining some semblance of composure.
“I…uh….need some time to think.” Snipvoice said with a trembling tone, before walking off into the woods.
“Well leave me behind, why don'tcha!” Claudrat shouted after him in a joking voice, before settling by the pool he had appeared from.
It wasn’t incredibly long before another cat approached him, this one a ginger tom.
“Hello!” The tom startled Claudrat, though he didn’t show it, and he gave the ginger tom a wary glance. “Are you new here?”
“Yeah.” Claudrat replied. “Just arrived. I’m Claudrat. Used to be Claudstar.” The ginger tom perked up. “I’m Gingerstamp.”
And then Claudrat began laughing hysterically. He shouted in the direction that Snipvoice went. “Oh, you’re not gonna belive this!”
Gingerstamp was watching him, confused. “Is….someone over there?” He asked. Claudrat nodded. “Hey, uh….by chance….would you happen to have kits?”
Gingerstamp looked even more confused. “Yep…didn’t get to see them grow up though.”
Claudrat smirked. “Would they by any chance be the children of you and a cat called….Nightfang?”
Hope sparked in the eyes of Gingerstamp. “You know them?” He said, whipping his head around, trying to find them. Claudrat held back another laughing fit.
“You could-” Before he could finish, Snipvoice finally came back.
“Claudrat, what is-” “Snipvoice, this is Gingerstamp.” Claudrat said, before bursting into hysterical laughter
Gonna have a tough time finding out that Snipvoice killed cats, and Gingerstamp ate cats. Claudrat’s gonna sit back with some cat popcorn-what is the cat version of popcorn? Like some sort of herb?
what IS the cat version of popcorn?
