Catopia: The Rival Clans

by Catopia

The cats of Catopia are settling into their new island home, shared with cats of Felineland. However, having both clans together for the first time isn't as easy to cope with as the cats have expected... [Please review my story! Thanks.]

It'd been a month since the cats of Catopia settled into their new home in Lantau Island. The cats found that their new forest home was much better than their old forest home in town. There was a beautiful river that flowed down to the bottom of the mountain; there were lots more trees and a wider variety of prey. Their camp lay not far from the camp of another clan that lived nearby, which was Felineland. The Catopian camp lay right next to a small waterfall, under the shelter of trees and rocks.

It was dark and quiet in the camp of Catopia. Suddenly, a huge ginger cat padded out of his rocky den. It was Gingerpelt, the captain of Catopia. He silently slipped out of camp and made his way up moorland. Another huge silver tabby was waiting for him. Both cats touched noses as a greeting.

"Greetings, Gingerpelt." the silver tabby meowed.

"Same to you, Dreamstar." the ginger tom meowed.

"So, how's your clan getting on?" asked Dreamstar.

"We're settling in fine, thank you." replied Gingerpelt. "So, our boundary shall be marked now." Both cats began discussing their territory.

"What?" snarled Gingerpelt. "You can't take away our river! It's on our side!"

"So? You've got your waterfall." meowed Dreamstar coldly.

"But you've got your lake!" snapped the Catopian captain. His tail was lashing furiously. Dreamstar narrowed his eyes and unsheathed his claws. Clearly, conflict was building up between the clans.

Already conflict is building up between Catopia and Felineland! How are they going to cope with each other? Watch out for part 2!
