your mother wouldn't approve of how my mother raised me
Perched haphazardly on the shabby wooden fence that enclosed his backyard, Sailor stared down the fence line that separated his perfect home from the mangy wild cats that he could smell from a mile away. He shifted on his paws, barely disguising the way his ears swivelled and flicked at the slightest rustle. He's never actually seen a clan cat, but the grapevine eventually dipped into his yard, and the pictures his mind conjured up felt much more accurate than a description could be.
Movement shook a bush and he twitched, weight tipping and sending him to the dusty dirt on the other side of his fence. Wet from the morning dew, the dirt stuck to his fur, causing Sailor to let out a loud whine. Dirt! In his fur! This would take hours to clean, and would be so gross on his tongue.
Ducking his head from embarrassment at the uncoordinated fall, Sailor's narrow eyes darted back and forth, hoping with every fibre of his heart that no one saw that.
