Private I Just Needed Somewhere To Stand - Cinnamon

[Mocha Mocha]

Now that Mocha had learned to steal out of her twoleg's den whenever she pleased, she had to admit that it was kind of nice to be able to come and go whenever she pleased. For the first time in her life she really understood Biscuit. Today she had snuck out for very little reason at all; she did not have big plans and she was not as desperately lonely as she had been before. She had just seen a sunbeam shining through the window, and wanted to feel the sunlight on her back.

Mocha was glad that she had followed that impulse. The breeze blowing through her fur felt delightful and she it was wonderful to feel the grass under her paws. A purr slipped out of her unbidden. She had no plan for where she was going, she was just following wherever her paws lead her. It was all too easy to slip through the gaps in her twoleg's backyard fence to wander the other backyards of her neighbors.

CINNAMON ── .✦

Her life was one big game

"Oh no--!! watch out, watch out! " cried the young molly as she thundered forward, paws flailing beneath her. In a blur of fur and panic, she tripped over herself and tumbled headlong into the poor, unsuspecting cat ahead, crashing into them with an ungraceful whump. " Oh, fiddlesticks, I'm so sorry! " she gasped, scrambling upright and hurriedly nudging the other kittypet. " Up we get, up we get! I might have a yapper after me! "

Her wide, frantic eyes snapped toward the path behind her, just in time to spot a small, yappy dog darting around the corner, leash trailing uselessly in its wake. It barked wildly, ears flopping as it charged their way. " I suggest higher ground, new friend! " she cried, already spinning around and darting toward the nearest fence with a dramatic flick of her tail. " To safety, posthaste! "

She's got her head in the clouds
