Coco’s Twoleg Den

[Rowan]

The human den is an average sized condo home within a small community. It has a fenced in backyard with a kitty-door into the yard so Coco can lounge in the sun.

She padded outside, a small smirk creeping on her face as the warm sun met her pelt. It was nice, finally being allowed outside and all after the plentiful of trips to the vets. They just made her feel worse, and they let her know how sick she really was. She saw the changes in herself too.

She was still getting the best of life though! Her sick wasn’t getting to her, not yet. She leapt onto the flatter side of the fence and shook out her fur, breathing in and taking in all the scents around her. The outdoors—it was so beautiful!

Today she didn’t feel as good as usual, but everyone had their ups and downs right? Today was just a down. It was a cloudier, gloomier day out. It matched her mood and he didn’t mind that much. She stepped outside of the kitty door…well more like crawled. Her legs felt weak today. She got a few shots in them…ouch.

She went over to a patch she enjoyed and laid down in it, rolling a bit before settling herself and looking at the sky, making out shapes in the clouds. It was so pretty huh? One day…one day she’d run among them!

Aki was walking about the Housefolks’ nests, as was customary for it. For any cat who dared exist outside those four walls, food and shelter was often hard to come by. But, hey, that didn’t mean it couldn’t take advantage of their generosity, right? Sure, some cats may find it beneath them to accept offerings from those strange creatures. For Aki, though, anything that made survival any easier was very welcome. Almost anything, that is.

Aki turned its head to the side, catching the scent of a cat, mixing with the scents of Housefolk. A pet. Locating the other cat with its eyes, it couldn’t help but let out an amused snort. How could she look so carefree? Sure, she had all of her needs looked after by her Housefolk. But living with those creatures? It was simply unthinkable. And Aki decided to let the pet know.

“Those brows have never seen a crease, have they?” Aki commented, approaching the she-cat’s territory as it balanced on the thin wall that surrounded it. “You do realize you’re trapped, don’t you?”

(throwing aki at you!)

Ah the breeze in her fur…it felt so ni- oh, company? She normally enjoyed other cats but today something was curling in her stomach and her head throbbed. It’s fine. She’d shake it off, literally. She rolled over onto her feet and shook out her fur before seeing the cat. It didn’t smell of two-legs…maybe a loner thingy? That was cool!

She cocked her head to the side at what he said last, her ears flopping as it tilted. “Trapped? Oh I’ve thought about leaving a lot! I’ll have to one day anyway but…I know I wouldn’t live long without their help.” She offered the outsider a soft smile.

So the other cat was thinking of leaving her Housefolk? Interesting, some cats were still amenable to reason. Most pets Aki had met were too stuck in their ways to consider a life beyond those creatures, too frightened of the unknowns of the outside world to even consider leaving the short, soft grass of their territories. Aki knew firstpaw that living alone wasn’t easy, but it’d choose that life of freedom a hundred times over those ridiculous Housefolk nests.

“You are? I see,” Aki tilted its own head, tail flicking rhythmically against the fence. “But what makes you think you couldn’t survive without your Housefolk?” That was another thing that perplexed Aki. Pets had no self-confidence, little to no faith in the idea that cats could live independently. Seriously dragging cats’ good name through the mud. “Other cats do it all the time, you know, and many of them turn out just fine in the end.

“‘Sides, it’s not like you can’t still benefit from those critters,” Aki continued. “Many of them have got so much food, they don’t even know what to do with it. That’s where strays like me come in. Go in, get what you need, and move on with your life. No strings attached. Pretty good arrangement, I’d say.”

She listened to him for a moment. He didn’t get it did he? She was sick—at least she thought she was. “I’m not quite like other cats.” She said light-heartedly like it was something special. A curse maybe. Nothing great about any of her circumstances.

Benefit from them huh? She never considered coming back when she thought of all her leaving possibilities. She didn’t want her two-legs to worry then she comes back and they lock her inside again!

“I need a special food rom them and they talk me to these people. They poke me with weird things but…they don’t mean harm. I can tell!” She gave him a toothy grin, really seeing all light and no dark in her situation. “I’m sick and they make me feel better.”

Aki blinked. “Sick?” it echoed. “Yes, I suppose that would complicate things.” And the Housefolk were helping her? Though Aki supposed that was the whole point of them--to look after their pets. It wrinkled its nose. Imagine, being actually tethered to those creatures in that way? Being really unable to leave, even if one truly wanted? How awful. How cruel.

“What sort of sick?” Aki’s tone was curious now as it hopped down from its perch, into the other cat’s territory. “Because I heard there’re some cats who can heal some sicknesses and injuries with plants that grow in the wild. Not that I know anything about that, and I’m sure they can’t heal everything, but maybe there’s somecat out there, willing to try and help you. If you’re really intent on leaving your Housefolk, that is.” Aki narrowed its eyes coolly. Granted, most of those cats were probably part of that weird forest cult, but maybe there were some normal cats who knew about plant-healing.

“What’s your name, anyway?” Aki tilted its head. They had been speaking for some time now, so perhaps introductions were in order.

She nodded as it repeated she was sick, searching it’s facial expression as it seemed to be thinking for a moment. But not the thoughts she typically has herself. Something more complicated. “Well- my sick has something to do with my kidneys and nutrient stuff. I got it from my mama!” She explained, not exactly seeing it as a horrible thing. “But it’s okay as long as i eat the food they give me!”.

She then listened as the stranger explained about the outside healer cats and she instantly perked up. “Ooo- that’s why I wanna leave! Those- whatchamacallit? Oh- clans! Yeah! They seem soooo cooolll!” she rumbled, her tail swaying high in the air.

Her name- oh- how had she not shared that already? “I’m Coco! You?” she questioned curiously.

Aki nodded slowly as the other cat explained her sickness. It had no idea what this so-called "kidney" was, but regardless, it had left the pet dependent on her Housefolk. Which was not ideal, considering how she really seemed to want to leave them--and understandably so. Evidently, some sort of a compromise was in order.

When the pet mentioned the forest cats--those "Clans", Aki scoffed with a sharp shake of its head. "Those weirdos from the forest? No self-respecting cat should have anything to do with them." Harsh, maybe, but it was the simple truth. Aki had already encountered them once before--one too many times, if you asked it. "They fight over nothing. They'll try to kill you if so much as one of your whiskers crosses over into their precious territory. The only thing they're good for is their healing--but they can't be the only cats in the world who can do that."

When Coco introduced herself, Aki replied, "And I'm Aki. Listen, you seem nice enough, so if you really wanna leave your Housefolk, I'll do what I can to help you out. But the second you step paw in that infested forest, you're on your own, as far as I'm concerned." It narrowed its eyes, nose wrinkled. It simply refused to have anything more to do with those cats. If Coco was smart, she'd do the same. Otherwise, well, that was on her.
