Chapter 1 (Cattail's POV)
I walked around the streets of NYC. It's been a few hours since I left my clan back in the overgrown parts Central Park.
"Plink"
I looked up. A drop of water splashed on my black fur.
"Meow!" I screeched.
I ran around looking for a shelter. A box? A can? Nope! Nothing I can use!
The rain poured down harder now. I slashed through the streets of Manhattan, mewing the whole time.
"WOO!" I yelled as I slipped into a something hard. "Stupid puddle!"
The thing I crashed in made a sound like when you hit a piece of metal.
I rubbed my head with paw. Looking up I saw I had crashed landed into a metal crate. I walked around it, hoping I could find an entrance.
I found the entrance on the right. WOW THIS IS HUGE, I thought as I walked in. The inside had lots of rust covering the walls which I steered clear of. I shook off the water from my fur, wetting the cold floor underneath me.
"What are you doing in my home?!" A voice boomed, asking about my presence.
I turned around, frantically searching for the creature that the voice came from. From the shadow of the crate came a lizard.
I gasped, jumping up and down I blurted out, "HI! WHAT'S YOUR NAME?! Oh yeah the answer to your question is that I have no where else to go! Also, it is raining and this is the first place that I found!"
The lizard glared at me, making a confused face. "Uh..." The lizard started, "My name is Abigail."
"The name's Cattail!" I greeted, handing her my paw, "How do ya do?!"
"Uh good?" Abigail said making it sound more of a question.
"GREAT! Hey uh can I stay for a while?! Pretty Please?!" I pleaded doing my signature 'cute kitten eyes'.
She looked at me stunned by the sudden question. "Uh No."
"But why?!" I whined.
"FINE! Just be quiet!" My new friend grumbled.
"YAY!" I yelled, curling next to her for warmth, "Thanks!"
She pushed me away from her side, "Don't go next to me."
"Okay," I said a bit disappointed, moving away from her.
"Oh yeah. You're welcome."
