[Kuhli]

You notice the twolegs fishing in the stream with a weird sort of strong cobweb attached to a stick, they seem to attach prey to it first before throwing it into the water. Why would they cast prey away like that? And why does it seem to be catching them more fish! Would you try something similar and see if you get results?

Kuhli had been hiding in the reeds for a while, watching the twolegs patiently. Their original plan was to steal some of their fish, the twolegs distracted looking at the water's surface wouldn't notice if they were to snag a few from their buckets. But as they watched the twolegs, their behaviour confused, yet intrigued them. They weren't admiring the water, it turned out they had thin strings...like web, attached to sticks. At the other end of the web was something sharp, like fangs of a snake, holding small minnows.

Kuhli didn't understand why the twolegs were throwing away perfectly good prey and so they watched. It took a long while, but when the stick started to shake and shiver, the twolegs jumped to their paws and started... well, Kuhli wasn't sure what they were doing, but it sure was something! The web string moved closer and closer until it emerged with an even bigger fish, hooked onto it like on a claw! "How did they do that?" they wondered out loud, amazed. "Barely any work and what a huge piece of prey..."

Not that Kuhli minded the work put into catching prey, it was part of the fun, they were just amazed at the creative ways twolegs worked to not work. "Fascinating creatures." Kuhli's former owners were elderly, slow and calm - Kuhli had never experienced much of the twoleg world with them. In some sense, they were just as clueless as the other clan cats, unaware of most of twolegs' creations.

[Coyoteclaw Coyoteclaw]

The cats of the clan had whispered the sudden appearance of so many new cats, kittypets from the campsite, both Pikestar and Russetfall's siblings. It was a surprise to see so many new faces. Admittedly, she was most curious about the twolegs; she hadn't observed their behaviour all too much, so the molly decided to stalk about the campsite and see what the strange hairless beasts were up to.

But, instead, she ran into one of the new faces. Creme coat and ruffled muzzle, they were one of Pikestar's siblings, so she heard. They looked nothing like him, but then again, the other sibling certainly did. She padded nearby, eyes flickering between them and the huddle of twolegs with their strange sticks with a spider's web hanging from the end. Coyoteclaw watched with muted amusement at the wasteful behaviours of the hairless beasts. "What a waste of good prey." The chimaera scoffed, glancing over to the other cat with a bemused expression.

Until she had to swallow her words, blinking in confusion as the stick shook beneath some unseen weight and one of the twolegs pulled out an incredibly sized fish. Coyoteclaw was gobsmacked, staring at the things with an utter confusion, finally addressing the other properly. "I ain't seein' things, am I? They used prey to... Get prey?" The molly padded to the side of the other, staring through the reeds as the twolegs did the same thing. She blinked hard before sitting back on her haunches, a thought crossing her mind.

"Say, uh, Kuhli, right?" She couldn't recall who was who with all these new cats, but that seemed about right. "If those things can fish like that, dya think we could too?" She hummed, curious. Prey was growing scarce, and while it seemed counterintuitive to throw prey in the water to lead fish towards them, maybe the bigger fish were just as desperate as they... Something caught her eye as she pondered, a sizeable grasshopper, fish would eat bugs, right?

She didn't speak again, squinting as she approached the thing not far away, swiftly snapping it up, the thing dying easily with one piercing fang through its abdomen. The molly spluttered once it was dead, though, never really enjoying the taste of insects, let alone the leggy storts. She tentatively picked it up again and dropped it at Kuhli's paws. "Ya' think a fish would try eat this?" She asked, Kuhli wasn't a clan cat, so maybe they had some knowledge she didn't when it came to these twoleg shenanigans.
