"I caught it!" the muffled voice came from a young tabby shouted from the two-leg garden next to his own.
"No way!" An angry tom voice from the other side of the fence called out. Just at that moment, two heads popped out from under the fence.
"He caught it!" Quinn squealed, squeezing past her brother and running over to Tiger. She sniffed the crow in his mouth and she let out another squeal of excitement "You are a much better brother than Mars. All he does is eat, sleep, and make dirt. He might as well be a dog!" The last line she sneered at her litter mate.
Mars was slower than his sister, making sure he didn't get any fur caught in the fence. He was a pudgy cat, with gray fluffy fur that just seemed to make him look bigger. He had a wide pressed in face and was not much of a beauty compared to Quinn.
Quinn was considered beautiful by the local cats around the neighborhood. The two-legs would always let her into their garden and their kits always petted her pale orange pelt and scratched behind her ears. She was very small and her back was striped with dark orange but he paws broke the pattern for they were white as the snow she had been told about.
But Tiger broke the mold compared to his litter mates. He was not build like his pudgy brother or small like his sister. He was small, yes, that was obvious, but the muscle already gaining in his thin body made him out to seem stronger and he always acted as the protector of his litter mates.
He knew there had been great small cats around the two leg place but he didn't want to be known for being small, he wanted to be known as Tiger, leader of… He didn't quite know what, but it would be something.
He let out a breath and then said through his full mouth "Let's go eat," He then ran past his littermate and through the hole in the bottom of the fence. Quinn was next to him momentarily and they started eating without Mars, knowing he would never take a bite of anything outside of two leg food, which is what he was heading for when he walked back inside the nest.
The two took advantage of this, meaning there was more food for them. Tiger let Quinn take the first bite and then they began to eat together.
They were almost finished the bird when there was a sound from the fence. Tiger looked up to see a large spotted cat.
"That was a good catch you got there Tiger," The tom said to him, eyeing the kit. Tiger could feel his liter mate tense beside him at the appearance of this strange new cat and he made sure to block her from the stranger.
"What are you doing in our garden?" he asked cautiously eyeing the new cat.
"Just looking for an old friend of," The cat replied simply, not taking young Tiger as a threat. "But you seem to be strong enough, shame you should be wasted in this life."
Tiger looked up at the cat and said "This life?" but before the cat could answer him Violet and Fuzz came running out from the nest, Mar wobbling a few tail lengths behind, and interrupted conversation.
"If I were you I would leave our garden," Fuzz hissed "The two-leg isn't far behind with a broom,"
Violet just stood there, staring at the larger cat, with an emotion in her eye. 'Fear?' Tiger wondered knowing fear was a normal emotion for his mother. But this seemed to be something completely different.
The cat couldn't reply for Fuzz was right, the two-leg was coming, with the broom. The cat jumped off the fence and disappeared and Tiger was rushed into the two-leg nest.
He then spent the rest of the day by the see through door and thought 'This life?' He wasn't sure what the cat meant but next time he got out of the house he would find the cat and make him tell him. How, he would think of that but he would get the information he wanted, and wouldn't stop until he found it.

(A/N) Okay, I know it has been a while since I have updated but…Okay, this is the point where most lie but truthfully I got distracted with reading fan fiction, running a forum, apply for exchange student positions in Japan, eating Nachos, teach myself to say "I Am a cat but I will eat babies," in Japanese(Watashiwa neko dese demo akichan no tabemasu), studying for finals and other important stuff that will help me in life in some way. So yeah, here is this chapter and working on the next! Also, going to start another story here soon too! I am re-posting my Invader Zim story! YAY! Okay, that's it, feel free to review(by feel free I mean do, because I am debating on updating or not if no one likes the story, which I see through reviews) and for the one person who reviewed this story, you reminded me to post but please, a review is what you think of the story, not random demands to the writer that make her cry at night(XD just kidding, I didn't cry). But really, review people! Thanks!
