Summary: Buyo is enjoying some sunshine…
Ah, sunshine….
He curled up and over, his body stretching and forming in ways humans often envied in order to reach the best advantageous point of pleasure. A light purr rasped up from him, not as full as it had once been but he was an old kitty after all and his humans took so much patience and looking-after.
Speaking of humans…
Buyo came to attention as one of his charges' scent came into the air. He rolled over and lifted his head, looking towards the old well house where he use to like to hunt. Unfortunately for him his humans had stumbled upon his secret and all hell had broken loose after that. Now he had to deal with his people not being where he knew they should be and his female charge always came back smelling so delectable yet so strangely….and with a hint of dog, too.

Pushing himself up onto his four paws, he made good his escape. As much as he wanted to curl up at the human girl's side, the torture from her companion wasn't worth it…
