Marigold's Territory [Open]

**hal** · #1 May 23rd, 2021, 11:53 PM

Every nest in this part of Twolegplace looked the same: tall white boulders etched with holes and eroded by the wind into jarring, black-topped crags. Each had four sides: the loud and unpleasant monster place, two opposite walls lined with small trees in matching shapes, and a bordered area of green and living things - the territory of cats and dogs.

Marigold woke up from a particularly fulfilling nap, stretching her capped claws into the tight grass of her territory. She yawned and gazed over her domain. The sparrows were at the seed tree again. The flame-point would love to chase and pin them, but her twolegs had scolded her for such behavior too recently. She moved on, observing instead the magnificent splendor of her tiny forest. Flowers of these hues and size only grew within the borders of the nests.

Marigold walked towards the tall, thin line between two worlds and hopped up. From this ledge, she could peer into the territories of her fellow kittypets - but her smoke-blue eyes could wander towards the wild as well.

Marigold was drawn to the mystique of the forest beyond her walls. The kittypet's territory was bright green, white, and pink. Full of lovely colors that drew in butterflies and hummingbirds. But the forest wasn't welcoming in this gaudy way. It was wet and dark, like moss after rain, but dry enough for the outlines of dead leaves to appear jagged and crisp. Ferns, lichen, and fungus could be seen in the shadows of this world. Such things were never found in Marigold's land. Occasionally, an orange mushroom would pop up to notify the twolegs of an overwatered plant, but the curious shapes of truly wild things never occupied this space.

She took a deep breath of the cool forest air and let her body fold into a loaf position. Her eyes drifted closed and the sun warmed her fur. Today was just beginning!

Marigold's ears pricked at the sound of an approaching cat. She opened her eyes and spotted Waterheart's figure.

The flame-point sat up and meowed, "Hello." She stretched her neck a bit to catch the other cat's scent.

"Marigold," the cream cat replied with a slight purr. The stranger seemed friendly enough. She sat up from her loaf and curled her tail around her paws.

"What's your name?" she asked, eyes wide with curiosity.

"Thank you very much," Marigold said, lifting her nose up a bit in pride. She let other cat's name roll around in her head, "Flamewater, Flamewater..." Her eyes widened, "Are you a forest cat?"

Sneaking out of the house, he goes to find some other cats to talk to just so he can keep sane, as all the meowing he does ON PURPOSE is driving him nuts! he comes across two cats talking to each other in a yard. "Hi. What are y'all talking about?"
