My name is Thunder Fur. I
have five cats with me. Light Thorn, Green Tail, Rock Shade, Rain Fur, and Crow
Claw. Light Thorn and Rain Fur are my best friends. It is leaf fall (fall) and
the prey is running low. I knew at leaf bare (winter) the prey would be all
gone. I want to move to where the prey is running fast but I am not sure where
we should go.
My friends had joined me
from the forest as loners. They said the forest is not a good place to move.
Rain Fur had a brilliant idea, “I once visited Sand Falls. There is lots of
prey there.”
“Yes, that is the right
place to go,” I shouted.
We cheered, “We will be clan
cats!”
”Let’s go tomorrow night,” I
said excitedly.
The next night after a long
day of travel, everyone was asleep in a bush and I had a strange dream. While I
was hunting a mouse a monster (a car) suddenly came running past and the prey
was squashed dead. Soon after another monster was heading toward me then
blam!!! I was awake.
My dream was a signal to
proceed with caution. I shared my dream with my friends and they were concerned
as well.
“What if there is danger up
ahead?” said Green Tail.
“Let’s send a scout,” suggested Rock Shade.
”How about me?” I said.
The others agreed and I
headed out to scout a safe path.
I was working my way across
the bridge and there were many roaring and scary monsters just like my dream.
It was very smelly and I guessed that all the prey were gone. They either were
squished or ran away from the bad smelling monsters.
I found a path that the
monsters didn’t travel on but it was full of two legs during the day. I
returned to my friends and told them all was clear to cross the bridge as long
as we traveled at night.
After we crossed the bridge
I decided to take a rest and the others agreed with me. We made moss nests and
found as much prey as we could.
”Hey! I think I smell
something,” Rain Fur said.
“I recognize that scent,” I
said frightfully. “It’s a FOX!”
Just then two big foxes
appeared.
“How are we going to fight
those foxes off?” asked Rock Shade.
”I think we’re in there
territory,” I loudly mewed.
“Let’s run for it,” shrieked
Rain Fur. The foxes were getting close. We made a run for it. At least we were
running in the right direction, right for Sand Cliff. After many minutes
running, we were out of their territory and they quit their chase. I was
relieved to see we made it. The beautiful Sand Cliffs were right in front of
us. The journey was over.
It felt good to be at our
new home. There were lots of prey and best of all we were clan mates. I would
not like to move territories again but I may have to another day. All my clan
mates think it was a successful and exciting trip.
