Disclaimer: I don't own Transformers. Twostrokes is owned by MariaShadow. Flight kitty is owned by elvenarchress, and Sandy kitty is owned by Flight kitty (thought we're not quite sure if she realizes this). The only cats I own are Blue kitty and Prowler, well I own them as much as you can own a cat. Also the mentioned scene with Ratchet and his present belongs to MariaShadow.

Feline Escapades of the Autocats – Presents

Cats are by nature hunters, they are predators. Just because the cat has been domesticated doesn't mean that they have lost their hunter's instinct. Many cats have not and will bring presents to their owners or those they like; this was true even for the Autocats. As the kittens got older they started to practice their hunting skills and, while some were more successful then others all, at one time or another, gave their catch to an Autobot of their choice. But that's not to say that they didn't have their favorites.

Twostroke loved to give presents to Bluestreak, Ratchet, Prime and the Twins. Sunny was always the loudest about finding such disgusting squishy messes, and some wondered if she liked to give Sunny presents simply to hear him complain. And no one would could forget the time when Ratchet had freaked out at having the snake in his med bay courtesy of Two.

Blue kitty also liked to give to Bluestreak and the Twins, but also to Prowl. Mind you, Blue kitty wasn't very good at hunting. It wasn't that he couldn't pounce or sneak up to his target, it was just that at the last moment he would have a klutzy moment and the target-pray would get away from him. Therefore most of his presents tended to be pretty shiny things that he would find around the area. Bluestreak would often make these into wind chimes that Blue kitty and Flight kitty loved to play with or simply to just watch.

Flight kitty liked to give presents to the Aerialbots, Skyfire, and the Wreckers but, like Blue kitty, she wasn't a very good hunter so she gave a lot of shiny things, they seemed to be the only things that she didn't get distracted by when she caught them. If they were big enough, Air Raid or Sky Dive would tie a piece of string around them and would happily play with her.

Prowler, who was a very good hunter but only hunted when she really wanted to, usually gave presents to Prowl, Jazz, and once in a very long while Springer. Jazz would always embarrass the poor cat and pick her up and cuddle her every time she brought him a present, which meant that she didn't usually bring him presents. It was unnecessary to do such an undignified action. Especially when she was reading.

But there was one cat who was different; Sandy kitty didn't give any presents to any Autobots… only to one Autocat. Sandy kitty would go out hunting almost daily and when he came back he would always have something for Fight kitty. Sometimes it was a bird or a mouse, and other times it was a shiny and/or dangly thing for her to play with or wear (she had gotten in the habit of wearing ribbons and Fireflight loved to change them to suit the day). None of the Autobots thought it strange, not when they thought about Sandstorm and all the presents he gave Fireflight. Why shouldn't his cat-namesake do the same thing for his Flight kitty?

Of course, as there usually is, there was one exception. Only one time had Sandy kitty ever brought anything to an Autobot, to Sandstorm to be exact. It had been several days after Sandstorm had rescued Fight kitty, who had been trapped during a Decepticon attack. Sandstorm had been sitting at a table with Fireflight and Fight kitty, showing off pictures from the world that the Wreckers had just gotten back from when Sandy kitty came out of nowhere carrying two mice. Going first to Fight kitty, he deposited the fatter of the two mice and then, to everyone's surprise, he calmly walked over and gave Sandstorm the other one. The Wrecker had said nothing, just nodded his head and picked the mouse up and put it in his subspace. Sandy kitty had returned the nod and had then gone back to Flight kitty's side to curl up next to her. Sandstorm had gone right back to showing off the pictures as if nothing usual happened. Firefight had giggled at the exchange, but also didn't say anything. There was nothing to say.
